Summary Experiments were performed to find out whether different mechanisms are involved in FPG-(fluorescent plus Giemsa) staining for the demonstration of replication patterns and sister chromatid differentiation (SCD) after bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-substitution of V79 Chinese hamster chromosomes. The influence of variations of the staining procedure on the quality of both SCD and replication patterns was comparatively investigated and differences in the demonstration of these two phenomena within the same chromosome were studied using various BrdU-labeling protocols. The results show that at least graduated differences exist. For a good differentiation of replication patterns a stronger FPG-treatment is necessary than it is for SCD. Partial BrdU substitution only leads to replication patterns in the next mitosis. A further round of replication either in the presence or absence of BrdU causes a reduced staining of the complete chromatid and three-way differentiation is seen in third generation mitoses. These results support the view that alterations of chromosomal proteins during BrdU-incorporation and replication of BrdU-substituted DNA are decisive for differential staining. 相似文献

Reversal of DNA methylation with 5-azacytidine alters chromosome replication patterns in human lymphocyte and fibroblast cultures 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Prior studies demonstrated that developmental or induced methylation of DNA can inactivate associated gene loci. Such DNA methylation can be reversed and specific genes reactivated by treatment with 5-azacytidine (5- azaC ). The present cytogenetic studies using replication banding methods show that 5- azaC treatment also results in an increase or decrease in replication staining at one or more band locations in human lymphocyte and fibroblast chromosomes. New replication band locations are not formed. These changes in replication staining, which reflect changes in timing of replication, are different between these two tissues. However, in both tissues, the delayed onset of replication in the heterocyclic, inactive X is shortened by 5- azaC . A correlation is thus suggested between the induced temporal change to earlier DNA replication, and induced hypomethylation and gene activation. The temporal effect on chromosome replication in 5- azaC -treated cells depends on the portion of the S-period studied. Toward the beginning of S, early-replication patterns are increased in both lymphocytes and fibroblasts. Toward the end of S, late-replication patterns are increased only in lymphocytes, suggesting a differential effect of 5- azaC in: (1) early-vs. late-S, and (2) lymphocytes vs. fibroblasts. Generally, 5- azaC has its greatest effect on the inactive chromosome regions that are typically late-replicating prior to 5- azaC treatment. These observed changes in replication band staining suggest that DNA methylation may modify regional groups of genes in concert. 相似文献

Summary The staining properties of unifilarly bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-substituted chromatids were compared using fluorescent-plus-Giemsa (FPG) staining methods. It was found that the staining intensity of chromatids which had incorporated BrdU in the next to last S-phase is less than that of chromatids whose BrdU-containing strand came from the last cell cycle. Thus, FPG-staining is not a function of the number of BrdU-substituted DNA strands alone. These findings lead to the conclusion that the primary point of action of PFG staining leading to sister chromatid differentiation (SCD) are chromosomal proteins which have been altered in the replication of BrdU-substituted DNA and that the demonstration of the SCD and replication patterns with the same staining procedure is based on different mechanisms. 相似文献

The establishment of human chromosomal regions as distinct and characteristic domains has been demonstrated by the reproducible
banding patterns observed on metaphase chromosomes as a result of various staining techniques. Although the exact molecular
properties responsible for the patterns are not well understood, a general correlation has been established between the time
of replication of a particular region of DNA and its banding characteristics. Using a replication timing assay based on fluorescence
in situ hybridization patterns, we investigated replication timing properties across chromosomal regions with potentially
distinct chromatin properties. Relative replication timing values were determined using cosmid DNA probes around the pseudoautosomal
region boundary in Xp22.3 and the cytogenetic band boundary regions surrounding Xp22.2. Although we observed replication timing
domains that were generally consistent with cytogenetic banding patterns, we did not find sharp replication timing boundaries
at either the pseudoautosomal region boundary or at the cytogenetic band boundaries.

Summary Silver staining is reported to be reduced in chromatin substituted by BUDR. This quenching effect allows for the demonstration of replication patterns and differential chromatid staining. Though the differentiation, as compared to other staining techniques, is of inferior quality, it is of theoretical importance concerning the effect of BUDR incorporation into chromatin. 相似文献

The patterns of differential staining based on the effects of BrdU-substitution in chromosomal DNA have been examined in both metaphase chromosomes and prematurely condensed chromosomes (PCC) of interphase Chinese hamster cells. Results indicate that differential staining may be obtained in chromosomes from all stages of the cell cycle and correspond to the semi-conservation mode of DNA replication. Such fidelity of differential staining in both interphase and metaphase chromosomes suggests that components essential for induction of differential staining are present throughout the cell cycle and chromosomes may contain similar structures and organization throughout the cycle. 相似文献

Mapping of the pattern of DNA replication in polytene chromosome from Chironomus thummi using monoclonal anti-bromodeoxyuridine antibodies 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We present results from a nonautoradiographic study of DNA replication in polytene chromosomes from dipteran larvae. Monoclonal antibodies with specificity for 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) were used to localize by indirect immunofluorescence the sites of BrdUrd incorporation and to follow the dynamics of DNA synthesis in salivary gland cells of 4th instar Chironomus thummi larvae. This technique presents numerous advantages over autoradiographic procedures and allows mapping of DNA synthesis patterns at the level of resolution of one chromosomal band. Several replication patterns were observed, classified according to characteristic features, and tentatively assigned to specific periods of the S-phase. In early S-phase, DNA synthesis is first detectable in puffs and interbands, later in bands. Most chromosomal bands appear to initiate DNA synthesis synchronously; however, in bands within centromeric and heterochromatic regions the start of synthesis is delayed. At mid S-phase, all the bands show uniform staining. Subsequent staining patterns are increasingly differential with the bands displaying characteristic fluorescence intensities. As replication progresses through the late S-phase period, the chromosomes show a decreasing number of fluorescent bands. The last bands to terminate replication are located in centromeric and heterochromatic DNA-rich regions and a few bands of low DNA content in region IIAa-c. 相似文献

The time sequence of DNA replication in partially synchronized human amniotic fluid cells has been analysed, employing BrdU incorporation techniques. —Regardless of the interval between removal of the methotrexate/uridine block and addition of BrdU during S-phase, the treatment results in an R-type replication pattern. Conversely, replacement of BrdU containing medium by another one with thymidine yields G-type replication patterns. A thymidine pulse during the first 4 h of S-phase results in R-type replication patterns; from 7–10 h after block removal it produces G-type pattern. In between, only faint red staining dots can be found indicating a marked decrease of replicational activity during the middle part of the S-phase. 相似文献

After pulse labeling of mammalian cells in vivo or in vitro with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd), followed by immunostaining with a monoclonal antibody to DNA-incorporated BrdUrd, various intranuclear staining patterns are observed. These results are obtained in various labeling, fixation, denaturation, and staining conditions. We defined five different patterns in immunoperoxidase-stained monolayers of human and rodent cancer cells and compared mean nuclear areas as measured by computerized planimetry. Furthermore, we evaluated frequency distributions of these patterns in partly synchronized cell populations and correlated these results with flow cytometric DNA histograms. The results indicate that the observed patterns reflect the spatial and temporal organization of DNA synthesis, which seems to be characterized by at least three successive stages of replication. Evaluation of these patterns may have various applications in studies on cell cycle kinetics. 相似文献

Replication banding patterns have been obtained from in vivo treatment of Salmo salar using a modification of the 5-BrdU technique and in kidney cultures using the FPG staining method. Most of the chromosome pairs were identified in the karyotype based on the banding pattern, chromosome size, and centromere position. C-banding and replication banding patterns were compared. 相似文献

Late replicating bands of human chromosomes demonstrated by fluorochrome and Giemsa staining. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The addition of thymidine (TdR) to cells growing in a medium containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) at the end of the first replication cycle results in the incorporation of TdR into the late replicating DNA regions. These sites can be visualized by staining the metaphase chromosomes with the fluorescent dye "33258 Hoechst" or a "33258 Hoechst" Giemsa procedure. A sequence of late replication patterns has been established in metaphase chromosomes of cultured human peripheral lymphocytes. The patterns are in agreement with those obtained by the standard autoradiographic procedures, but are more accurate. As is known from autoradiography, late replicating bands are in the position of G or Q bands. The "33258 Hoechst" Giemsa staining procedure of chromosomes which have replicated in the presence of BUdR first and in TdR for the last 2 hrs of the S phase is preferable to the currently used Giemsa banding techniques: the method yields very well banded metaphases in all preparations examined, as the chromosome structure is not disrupted by the pretreatment. The bands are very distinct, even in the "difficult" chromosomes (e.g. No. 4, 5, 8 and X). In female cells the late replicating X chromosome can be identified by its size and staining pattern. In addition to the replication asynchrony, the sequence of replication within both X chromosomes in female cells is not absolutely identical. The phenomenon of a phase difference in replication between the homologues is not a peculiarity of the X chromosome, but can be found in all autosomes as well as in homologous positions on the chromatids of individual chromosomes. 相似文献

We have examined the targeting of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an integral component of the mammalian replicative enzyme DNA polymerase delta, with sites of DNA replication by using confocal microscopy and computer image analysis. Labeling (5 min pulse) of DNA replication sites in normal human diploid fibroblast cells (NHF1) with BrdU was followed by immunostaining with PCNA antibodies. A striking degree of colocalization was seen between PCNA and the characteristic patterns of DNA replication sites of early, middle and late S-phase (Nakayasu and Berezney [1989] J. Cell. Biol. 108:1-11). These observations were confirmed by quantitative computer image analysis which revealed that approximately 90% of the PCNA-stained area overlapped with DNA replication sites in early S-phase. Pulse-chase experiments, involving in vivo labeling for replication followed by PCNA staining at later time points, suggested that PCNA disassembles from previously replicated sites and targets to newly active sites of DNA replication. To further study this phenomenon in living cells, stable GFP-PCNA transfectants under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter were created in mouse 3T6 cells. Like the endogenous PCNA, GFP-PCNA targeted to sites of replication (approximately 80% colocalization) and demonstrated similar dynamic changes following pulse-chase experiments in fixed cells. Studies of living cells revealed progressive changes in the GFP-PCNA distribution that mimic the replication patterns observed in fixed cells. We conclude that GFP-PCNA targets to DNA replication sites in living cells and is an effective marker for tracking the spatio-temporal dynamics of DNA replication as cells transverse the S-phase. 相似文献

The chromosomal complement of Cobitis taenia was analysed by replication banding techniques to determine whether there were specific patterns that could allow distinction of the different chromosomes. The diploid chromosome number of 2n = 48 is diagnostic of this species. In vivo 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU) incorporation induced highly reproducible replication bands. Most of the chromosome pairs were distinguishable on the base of their banding patterns. The karyotype, consisting of five pairs of metacentrics, nine pairs of submetacentrics and 10 pairs of subtelocentrics and acrocentrics, was confirmed. C-banding and replication banding patterns were compared, and heterochromatin was both early and later replicating. C-positive heterochromatin in centromeric regions was mainly early replicating, but that located in pericentromeric regions was late replicating. Most of the late-replicating regions found interstitially were C-band negative. The results obtained so far for combined chromosomal staining methods of C. taenia and other Cobitis fish species are discussed. 相似文献

High-resolution dynamic and morphological G-bandings (GBG and GTG): a comparative study 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary A high-resolution replication banding technique, dynamic GBG banding (G-bands after 5-bromodeoxyuridine [BrdUrd] and Giemsa), showed that, at a resolution of 850 bands/genome, GBG banding and GTG banding (G-bands after trypsin and Giemsa) produce almost identical patterns. RBG band (R-bands after BrdUrd and Giemsa) and RHG band (R-bands after heat denaturation and Giemsa) patterns were previously shown to be only 75%–85% coincident; thus GTG banding more accurately reflects replication patterns than does RHG banding. BrdUrd synchronization uses high concentrations of BrdUrd both to substitute early replicating DNA and to arrest cells before the late bands replicate. Release from the block is via a low thymidine concentration. The banding is revealed by the fluorochrome-photolysis-Giemsa (FPG) technique and produces the GBG banding that includes concomitant staining of constitutive heterochromatin. As opposed to other replication G-banding procedures, BrdUrd synchronization and GBG banding produces a reproducible replication band pattern. The discordance between homologs after GBG banding is similar to that after GTG banding and no lateral asymmetry of the constitutive heterochromatin has been observed. Also, BrdUrd synchronization neither significantly depresses the mitotic index, nor induces chromosome breaks. Thus, GBG banding seems as clinically useful as GTG banding and provides important information regarding replication time. 相似文献

Summary The morphologic and staining characteristics of the sex chromatin bodies and the DNA replication patterns were studied in a patient with a 45,X/46,X,idic(X)(p22.3::p22.3) karyotype and in a normal woman. The analysis showed a relatively high frequency of bipartite Barr bodies as well as some variation of the distance, staining intensity, and size relationship between their halves. Regarding the DNA replication studies, in 71% of the cells the abnormal X chromosome showed a synchronous pattern, and in the remaining 29%, in which a slight asynchrony was present, an almost equal proportion of early and late functional and nonfunctional centric halves was observed. Furthermore, the atypical chromosome had a quite similar replication pattern to the late replicating X chromosome of the normal woman, suggesting that its sequence of DNA synthesis was not altered.Supported in part by grant No. 1479 from the Programa Nacional de la Salud, Conacyt (México) 相似文献

Isolabeling segments were found in the distal region of the long arm of Y chromosomes derived from human leukocytes grown through two replication cycles in medium containing BrdU and stained by the FPG technique. Three main types of Y chromosome staining patterns were demonstrated: I-Y chromosome with typical SCD, II-Y chromosome with weakly stained distal regions of long arms (isolabeling segments), III-Y chromosome with both terminal regions displaying SCD interrupted by one isolabeled segment. The existence of different types of Y chromosome staining patterns was explained on the basis of the previously described hypothesis of unequal distribution of thymine residues between two DNA polynucleotide chains in the distal part of the long arms of human Y chromosomes. 相似文献

A comparative cytogenetic analysis was carried out on four Hylinae tree frogs from Brazil ((Aparasphenodon brunoi, Corythomantis greeningi, Osteocephalus langsdorffii, and Scinax fuscovarius) using Giemsa staining, BrdU replication banding, Ag-NOR staining, C-banding, DAPI and CMA(3) fluorochrome staining, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with an rDNA probe. All the species share closely similar 2n = 24 karyotypes, almost indistinguishable by standard staining. The technique of BrdU incorporation allowed the identification of each pair of homologs and the establishment of extensive homeology for the great majority of the chromosomes, mainly of A. brunoi, C. greeningi, and O. langsdorffii. Despite highly conserved replication banding patterns, the use of the other banding techniques disclosed some minor differences, which reinforces the importance of extensive cytogenetic analyses for the karyotypic characterization of Anuran species. The present cytogenetic data confirm the closer proximity of A. brunoi, C. greeningi, and O. langsdorffii, whereas S. fuscovarius is phylogenetically more distant. 相似文献

The incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) into newly synthesized DNA has been analysed during hepatocellular regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy in young rats. The kinetic state of the liver has been studied by flow cytometric analysis of the incorporated BrdUrd, while the fine localization of DNA replication sites through the cell cycle has been investigated at the ultrastructural level by the immunogold technique. Eighteen hours after partial hepatectomy flow cytometry revealed an early S phase distribution which corresponded to a specific staining of the interchromatin domains of the hepatocyte nucleus. Thirty-four hours after hepatectomy, on the other hand, when most cells were in late S, a specific staining of heterochromatin domains was observed. The effect of the BrdUrd technique on nuclear aggregation has also been analysed and discussed. The results demonstrate that specific patterns of DNA replication can be recognized during the cell cycle and that flow cytometry and electron microscopy appear to be complementary in the kinetic study of liver regeneration. 相似文献

We performed live cell visualization assays to directly assess the interaction between competing adeno-associated virus (AAV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA replication. Our studies reveal the formation of separate AAV and HSV-1 replication compartments and the inhibition of HSV-1 replication compartment formation in the presence of AAV. AAV Rep is recruited into AAV replication compartments but not into those of HSV-1, while the single-stranded DNA-binding protein HSV-1 ICP8 is recruited into both AAV and HSV-1 replication compartments, although with differential staining patterns. Slot blot analysis of coinfected cells revealed a dose-dependent inhibition of HSV-1 DNA replication by wild-type AAV but not by rep-negative recombinant AAV. Consistent with this, Western blot analysis indicated that wild-type AAV affects the levels of the HSV-1 immediate-early protein ICP4 and the early protein ICP8 only modestly but strongly inhibits the accumulation of the late proteins VP16 and gC. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the presence of Rep in the absence of AAV DNA replication is sufficient for the inhibition of HSV-1. In particular, Rep68/78 proteins severely inhibit the formation of mature HSV-1 replication compartments and lead to the accumulation of ICP8 at sites of cellular DNA synthesis, a phenomenon previously observed in the presence of viral polymerase inhibitors. Taken together, our results suggest that AAV and HSV-1 replicate in separate compartments and that AAV Rep inhibits HSV-1 at the level of DNA replication. 相似文献
