The processes of polyploidization in normal human liver parenchyma from 155 individuals aged between 1 day and 92 years were
investigated by Feulgen-DNA cytophotometry. It was shown that polyploid hepatocytes appear in individuals from 1 to 5 years
old. Up to the age of 50 years the accumulation rate of binucleate and polyploid cells is very slow, but subsequently hepatocyte
polyploidization is intensified, and in patients aged 86–92 years the relative number of cells with polyploid nuclei is about
27%. Only a few hepatocytes in the normal human liver reach 16C and 8C×2 ploidy levels for mononucleate and binucleate cells
respectively. Using a mathematical modeling method, it was shown that during postnatal liver growth the polyploidization process
in human liver is similar to that in the rat, and that polyploid cells are formed mainly from binucleate cells. As in rats,
prior to an increase in ploidy level, diploid human hepatocytes can pass several times through the usual mitotic cycles maintaining
their initial ploidy level. After birth, only one in ten hepatocytes starting DNA synthesis enters the polyploidization process.
At maturity about 60% of 2C-hepatocytes starting DNA synthesis divide by conventional mitosis, the rest dividing by acytokinetic
mitosis leading to the formation of binucleate cells. During ageing the probability of hepatocyte polyploidization increases
and in this period there are two polyploid or binucleate cells for every diploid dividing by conventional mitosis. 相似文献

The macronucleus of the binucleate ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila contains fragmented and amplified chromosomes that do not have centromeres, eliminating the possibility of mitotic nuclear division. Instead, the macronucleus divides by amitosis with random segregation of these chromosomes without detectable chromatin condensation. This amitotic division provides a special opportunity for studying the roles of mitotic proteins in segregating acentric chromatin. The Smc4 protein is a core component of the condensin complex that plays a role in chromatin condensation and has also been associated with nucleolar segregation, DNA repair, and maintenance of the chromatin scaffold. Mutants of Tetrahymena SMC4 have remarkable characteristics during amitosis. They do not form microtubules inside the macronucleus as normal cells do, and there is little or no bulk DNA segregation during cell division. Nevertheless, segregation of nucleoli to daughter cells still occurs, indicating the independence of this process and bulk DNA segregation in ciliate amitosis. 相似文献

Liver cells were isolated from rats undergoing active formation of tetraploid cells and prelabelled in their DNA with 14C thymidine. Autoradiography of the isolated cells showed that binucleate diploid cells, a major component of the parenchymal cell population at this time, are also active in DNA synthesis. These cells probably pass through mitosis and generate mononucleate tetraploid cells, the dominant cell type of mature rat liver, since the frequency of binucleate tetraploid cells is very low at this stage in rat liver development. The biological significance of liver polyploidy is discussed and it is suggested that this lies in enhanced resistance to mutagenesis. 相似文献

Observations on induced amitosis in Acanthamoeba 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Methods are described for the induction of amitotic cell division in Acanthamoeba rhysodes. Induced amitotic cell division in this organism is similar to normal cytokinesis in many respects, however, the nucleus is partitioned during its interphase state so that the daughter products of amitosis are not viable. It is proposed that the induction of amitotic cell division causes the amoeba to produce the normal cytoplasmic components responsible for cell division in the absence of nuclear mitosis. This is not a normal stage in the amoeba's life cycle and it appears to be a genetic defect unique to this strain of Acanthamoeba.Evidence is presented that induction of amitotic cell division requires protein synthesis but not ribonucleic acid synthesis. Further, induced amoebae require a period of adhesion to a foreign substrate before they are capable of amitosis. The pattern of amitotic cell division could be interpreted as a segregation of discrete cytoplasmic units, generated during induction. 相似文献

Changes in pancreatic acinar cell nuclear number and DNA content during aging in the rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pancreatic acinar cells from rats 5 to 658 days (94 weeks) of age were isolated by enzymatic dissociation and stained with the DNA specific fluorochrome Hoechst 33258. The nuclear DNA content and the incidence of binucleation were estimated in these cells. Total pancreatic weight, RNA, protein and DNA, and the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into pancreatic acinar cell DNA were also estimated in similar animals as measures of pancreatic growth. From 5 to 17 days after birth, 95% of the cells were mononucleate diploid and 5% were binucleate diploid; but during the period of rapid pancreatic growth over the following 39 days, acinar cells became increasingly binucleate. By 56 days after birth, 64% of cells were binucleate with a diploid DNA content per nucleus; and the incidence of binucleation then remained constant. At 28 days of age, 4% of mononucleate cells were tetraploid, increasing to 6% at 658 days of age. At this time 3% of binucleate cells contained dual tetraploid nuclei. There is thus a rapid development towards diploid binucleate acinar cells in the growing, postnatal pancreas; and in the adult pancreas a small proportion of these cells develop tetraploid nuclei. 相似文献

An autoradiographic and cytophotometric study of oogenesis in a pulmonate snail,Planorbarius corneus
Summary The spatial and temporal patterns of macromolecular syntheses in oocytes and somatic auxiliary cells of the snail Planorbarius corneus have been investigated by autoradiography and cytophotometry. Oogenesis has been divided into three stages, comprising early meiosis up to diplotene (stage I), previtellogenetic growth phase (stage II), and vitellogenesis (stage III). No DNA synthesis was found in any oocyte stage. In stage-I oocytes, only nucleoli were found labelled with 3H-uridine. Oocyte nuclei of stage II and III actively synthesize RNA in nucleoli and chromosomes. The most intense incorporation of uridine in chromatin probably occurs during the previtellogenesis — vitellogenesis transition period during which cytological findings suggest well developed lampbrush chromosomes. RNA synthesis in amphinucleoli of stage-III oocytes is restricted to basophilic nucleolar parts, whereas acidophilic parts (protein bodies) neither synthesize nor store RNA. During vitellogenesis oocytes incorporate amino acids into yolk platelet proteins. Radioactive proteins are found in yolk platelet precursors 5 h after injection of the tracer and in yolk platelets 3 h thereafter. The labelling pattern suggests that oocytes synthesize certain hitherto unidentified yolk components. No evidence for the participation of follicle cells in synthesis and transport of vitellogenic proteins has been obtained from autoradiography. Cytological findings suggest an important role for these cells in oogenesis. They are highly active in RNA and protein synthesis. Cellular differentiation is accompanied by polyploidization of the nuclei which attain a highest DNA content of 256 c. Polyploidization probably occurs in incremental steps as indicated by complete endomitotic chromosomal cycles. Autoradiographs show that, during vitellogenesis, oocytes do not incorporate significant amounts of glucose, and only certain follicle cells were labelled with glucose, probably indicating the synthesis of glycogen. 相似文献

Nucleolar cycles were related to mitotic and amitotic phasesin meristematic cells of Allium cepa L. roots growing in controlconditions and in others where amitosis was induced by a 6-htreatment with ethidium bromide. The induced amitosis in these cells was followed by an unbalanceddistribution of chromosomal material between the two independentdaughter cells resulting from it. The first discrepancy between mitosis and amitosis was foundat the level of prophase nucleolar disorganization, which wasgreatly modified. The nucleolar cycle was permanently stoppedin amitosis even when recovery from treatment was allowed. Thekinetics of amitosis appearance in the meristem suggest a decisionpoint located round about mid-prophase. This decision pointseems to involve nucleolar function in prophase. These observationsconfirm the fact that prophase is one of the decisive stagesin the differentiation of a cell. 相似文献

Summary In the alkane yeast Saccharomycopsis lipolytica (formerly: Candida lipolytica) the variability in the ascospore number is caused by the absence of a correlation between the meiotic divisions and spore wall formation. In four spored yeasts, after meiosis II, a spore wall is formed around each of the four nuclei produced by meiosis II. However, in the most frequently occurring two spored asci of S. lipolytica, the two nuclei are already enveloped by the spore wall after meiosis I due to a delay of meiosis II. This division takes place within the spore during the maturation of the ascus. In this case germination of the binucleate ascospore is not preceded by a mitosis. It follows that the cells of the new haploid clones are mononucleate. In the three spored asci, which occur rarely, only one nucleus is surrounded by a spore wall after meiosis I; the other nucleus undergoes meosis II before the onset of spore wall formation. The result is one binucleate and two mononucleate spores. In the one spored asci the two meiotic divisions occur within the young ascospore, i.e. spore wall formation starts immediately after development of the ascus. These cytological observations were substantiated by genetic data, which in addition confirmed the prediction that binucleate spores may be heterokaryotic. This occurs when there is a postreduction of at least one of the genes by which the parents of the cross differ. This also explains the high frequency of prototrophs in the progeny on non-allelic auxotrophs since random spore isolates are made without distinguishing between mono-and binucleate spores. The possibility of analysing offspring of binucleate spores by tetrad analysis is discussed. These findings enable us to understand the life cycle of S. lipolytica in detail and we are now in a position to start concerted breeding for strain improvement especially with respect to single cell protein production. 相似文献

RAN1基因过表达抑制嗜热四膜虫大核无丝分裂 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ran GTPase通过RanGTP/RanGDP循环的形式,参与调控多种细胞增殖方式:包括有丝分裂和减数分裂.敲减RAN1基因可导致嗜热四膜虫大核内微管组装紊乱,从而抑制大核无丝分裂.为进一步分析Ran1在无丝分裂中的功能,本研究将野生型Ran1以及模拟GTP(Ran1Q70L)和GDP(Ran1T25N)锁定形式的Ran1突变体在嗜热四膜虫中过量表达,均导致四膜虫细胞增殖速率下降,并引起大核无丝分裂异常,且这种核异常细胞比率与Ran1过表达量呈正相关.免疫荧光定位结果显示,过表达的HA-Ran1在整个细胞中弥散分布,破坏了正常的Ran1分布形式;而过表达的HA-Ran1Q70L明显集中在大核核膜和胞质中,HA-Ran1T25N则主要定位在大核和小核内,分别与Ran1GTP/Ran1GDP循环的辅助调节因子定位模式一致.以上结果表明,过表达Ran1及其突变体可能影响嗜热四膜虫细胞中正常的Ran1GTP/Ran1GDP循环,进而导致大核无 丝分裂异常. 相似文献

Bell shaped nuclei of metakaryotic cells double their DNA content during and after symmetric and asymmetric amitotic fissions rather than in the separate, pre-mitotic S-phase of eukaryotic cells. A parsimonious hypothesis was tested that the two anti-parallel strands of each chromatid DNA helix were first segregated as ssDNA-containing complexes into sister nuclei then copied to recreate a dsDNA genome. Metakaryotic nuclei that were treated during amitosis with RNase A and stained with acridine orange or fluorescent antibody to ssDNA revealed large amounts of ssDNA. Without RNase treatment metakaryotic nuclei in amitosis stained strongly with an antibody complex specific to dsRNA/DNA. Images of amitotic figures co-stained with dsRNA/DNA antibody and DAPI indicated that the entire interphase dsDNA genome (B-form helices) was transformed into two dsRNA/DNA genomes (A-form helices) that were segregated in the daughter cell nuclei then retransformed into dsDNA. As this process segregates DNA strands of opposite polarity in sister cells it hypothetically offers a sequential switching mechanism within the diverging stem cell lineages of development. 相似文献

Cell proliferation induced by isoprenaline (IPR) stimulation in very high doses was assayed in the liver of young rats, and the formation of polyploid cells was studied form the 15th to the 70th day of life. A general stimulatory effect on a complex process of cellular multiplication, leading to a population of tetraploid cells, was found to be accelerated; the earlier appearance of binucleate cells and the subsequent significant variations in their incidence confirmed the role of this cell type as an intermediate step in the process of polyploidization. Evidence was found of concomitant size changes of the hepatocytes, which might be partially independent of the effect of DNA content. The stimulation was no longer evident 20--30 days from the end of treatment, by when the cells which had come into contact with IPR should have completed the whole sequence of events leading to the formation of tetraploid mononucleate cells. 相似文献

A comparative study of amitotic division activity of trophoblast cells by constriction or extrusion in the blastocysts of American mink during the period of obligatory implantation delay was performed. The frequency of occurrence of amitotic figures was found to be approximately 10% upon the resumption of blastocyst growth (the blastocyst size was 0.4 mm in diameter) and nearly 20% at the stage of active growth (0.9 mm) and at the stage of expansion before blastocyst attachment to the uterine wall (1.7 mm). The ratios between the frequencies of division by extrusion and constriction at these three stages were 2 : 1, 5 : 1, and 4 : 1, respectively. We suggest that the cells produced via different forms of amitosis ways play different roles in trophoblast differentiation. 相似文献

A 0.1% caffeine solution has been injected into plants of rye at various stages of spike development. Cytokinesis was inhibited in the germ line, and the resulting binucleate cells underwent bimeiosis. Nuclear fusions occurred during cell divisions of the germ line, giving rise to mononucleate tetraploid PMCs which showed 14 bivalents instead of the expected up to 7 quadrivalents. A decrease in chiasma frequency was also noted. 相似文献

In binucleate 2n-2n and 4n-4n, trinucleate 2n-4n-2n and tetra nucleate cells 2n-2n-2n-2n which had been experimentally induced by means of caffeine (0.1% in tap water) in root-tip cells of onion bulbs (Allium cepa) division cycle time increases sligthly (about 15%) when the DNA content increases from 2n to 8n chromosomes per cell. The interphase time is not significantly modified, whereas the mitosis time increases (about 50%) in the tetranucleate cells in relation to the diploid mononucleate cells.The unsynchronized initiation of prophase and the subsequent synchronization of the nuclei in the polynucleate cells suggest an inhibiting mechanism regulating initiation of the mitosis via cytoplasm. 相似文献

Abstract. The origin and evolution of binucleate cells in cultures of HEp-2 cells have been studied by means of interval photography and time-lapse video-recording. Binuc leate cells most frequently formed by the fusion of two sister cells born in a previous mitosis. The study of binucleate cells has shown that they are a cellular type able to successfully undergo mitosis. However, the mitosis may be bipolar, tripolar or multi-polar. The daughter cells arising from these divisions do not follow a clear pattern in the number of nuclei they have, instead showing a wide range of possibilities. 相似文献

Summary Lateral roots ofVicia faba were treated with a solution of 5-aminouracil (3.93×10–3M) for 6 hours. After 15 hours roots were recovering from the temporary inhibition of mitosis induced by 5-AU and were approaching peak mitotic indices; they were then treated with 0.1% caffeine or 0.1% isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) for 1 hour. Treatment with methylxanthines when the mitotic index was high gave relatively high yields of binucleate cells, 3.8 to 7.5%. DNA synthesis, cell cycle duration and nuclear growth were determined for binucleate cells. Caffeine induced binucleate cells underwent a marked reduction in nuclear volume, from 1,074 m3 at 1+1 hours to 534 m3 at 1+14 hours. Only 15% of these binucleates entered S phase; those that did so were in mitosis or had divided by 1+14 hours. We conclude that 85% of the binucleate cells are so inhibited by caffeine that their G1 is extended to>14 hours or that they are no longer proliferating cells. IBMX-induced binucleate cells, by contrast, did enter S phase and many of them also divided. Though in IBMX-induced binucleate cells there was also a decrease in nuclear volume up to 1+10 hours, subsequently mean nuclear volume increased e.g. at 1+16 and 1+18 hours. Both caffeine and IBMX treatments resulted in decreases in mean volume of prophase nuclei of mononucleate cells; this is further evidence that both methylxanthines inhibit the macromolecular synthesis required to sustain nuclear growth. It also suggests that nuclear division can be initiated at considerably lower nuclear volumes than those of untreated cells. We suggest that caffeine may act as a mimic of the normal mechanism that regulates the switch from a proliferating to a non-proliferative condition. 相似文献

The effects of timing and duration of cytochalasin B (CB) treatment on the kinetics of the initiation of DNA synthesis in mono- and binucleate HeLa cells, synchronized in the G1 phase of the cell cycle by the reversal of a mitotic block (N2O at 80 PSI), were studied. In the control, bi-, tri- and tetranucleate cells entered S phase slightly earlier than the mononucleate cells at a rate proportional to the number of their nuclei. The difference between any two adjacent sub-populations was less than 0.5 h. However, the binucleate cells produced by a 90 min CB treatment immediately after the reversal of the mitotic block exhibited a considerably shorter G1 period as compared to mononucleate cells (a difference of 1.5 h). This exaggerated difference in the duration of G1 period between mono- and binucleate cells disappeared when the CB treatment was delayed by 75 or 90 min indicating that it was an experimental artifact. From this study, we conclude that there is naturally some degree of nuclear cooperation in the multinucleate systems, particularly with regard to the initiation of DNA synthesis, which is not influenced by CB treatment. 相似文献
