Following fertilization of the egg of the sand dollar Echinarachnius parma, tritiated thymidine (H3TDR) was taken up independently by the male and female pronuclei beginning within about 15 to 20 minutes, and the labeled pronuclei fused at about 30 to 40 minutes. At cleavage 90 minutes later the labeled nuclear material was distributed to both daughter cells. Unfertilized eggs and sperm exposed to H3TDR did not show nuclear localization of thymidine. DNA replication, thus, is initiated in the haploid pronuclei shortly after fertilization and prior to fusion. The major portion of DNA synthesis, as evidenced by thymidine uptake, appears to be during a 20 to 30 minute period after fertilization. Fertilization is associated with the activation of a mechanism which initiates early and independent replication of DNA in both the male and female pronuclei. 相似文献

The [125I]UdR loss technique was used to estimate cell loss from RIF-1, EMT6 and KHJJ tumors in order to determine the length of the delay between labeling and the beginning of the loss of labeled cells, and also to calculate a value for ø, the cell loss factor. To determine the importance of reutilization of label released from the gut and/or the influx of labeled host cells, the blood flow to some tumors was occluded during and for 30 min after injection of the label. Relatively small amounts of radioactivity entered occluded RIF-1 tumors during 9 days after injection of [125I]UdR, indicating that reutilization of systemic label and influx of labeled host cells are not significant in this system. In contrast, substantial amounts of radioactivity entered occluded EMT6 and KHJJ tumors, reaching 40% of the total activity in non-occluded tumors during 6 days following injection. After corrections were made for this influx of label, the [125I]UdR loss curves from RIF-1 and EMT6 tumors were essentially exponential from the first day following injection of label. This was interpreted as indicating the loss of proliferating as well as non-proliferating cells from both tumors. The cell loss factor derived from the [125I]UdR loss curves corrected for influx appeared to agree well with published values derived from analysis of percent labeled mitoses curves. In contrast, the corrected [125I]UdR loss curves from KHJJ tumors showed that loss of activity began three days after injection of label, indicating that primarily nonproliferating cells are lost from this tumor. 相似文献

The replication time and pattern have been investigated in hepatoma cells induced by feeding 3'Me-DAB to male rats for 5 months. With the use of tritiated thymidine as a DNA label along with autoradiography, mitotic nuclear labeling has been studied 0.5 to 72 hours after the administration of the label. The following time intervals have been estimated: replication time, 31 hours; DNA synthesis, 17 hours; G2 plus Mitosis, 2 hours; G1, 12 hours. Only about 8 per cent of the tumor cell (interphase) population is "flash" labeled, following a single dose of 50 µC of H3TDR. This group of cells has been followed through three cycles of division. The repeated rhythmic passage of tumor cells through cell division is similar to that previously reported for normal liver cells in the growing rat. However, tumor cells have longer replication and DNA synthesis times. In addition, the several time intervals studied vary more in the tumor cell population than they do in the growing normal cell population. 相似文献

The mouse androgen dependent tumor Shionogi carcinoma 115 or the non-responsive tumor Shionogi carcinoma 42 were transplanted into 40 mice and testosterone-3H (0.13 μg/20 μCi) was then injected into each animal. The retention of ether soluble radioactivity in the nuclear, mitochondrial, microsomal and cytosol fractions was higher in combined seminal vesicle-prostate tissue and in Shionogi carcinoma 115 than in Shionogi carcinoma 42, muscle, and spleen. 相似文献

Summary Sera from mice treated i.v. with 1 mg BCG, followed 14 days later by 0.1 ml (108 killed organisms) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa have shown the capacity to induce tumor necrosis when injected into mice bearing subcutaneous transplants either of a methyl-cholanthrene-induced sarcoma or of the P815 mastocytoma. Furthermore, immunotherapeutic trials were performed in mice bearing a subcutaneous transplanted sarcoma by combining BCG and low doses (0.01 to 0.05 ml) of Pseudomonas. Tumor necrosis was detectable 24 hours later only in the group treated by both BCG and Pseudomonas. In this group, we have also observed a significant decrease of tumor size in comparison with the groups of mice receiving BCG or Pseudomonas alone or no treatment. 相似文献

Lymphoid cells from mice injected 54 hours and 30 hours earlier with 3H-thymidine were washed and transfused into isogenic recipients at 29 to 30 hours after partial hepatectomy. The recipients were killed 28 to 30 hours later, and liver, intestine, Peyer''s patch, spleen, and the transfused cells were examined in autoradiographs exposed 6 months. Approximately 80 per cent of the labeled transfused cells were classed as lymphocytes. The labeled DNA contained in the transfused cells was partitioned to about 14 times as many recipient liver and intestinal cells, appearing in 72 to 78 per cent of hepatocyte nuclei, in 30 to 35 per cent of liver reticuloendothelial nuclei, and in 90 to 95 per cent of intestinal crypt nuclei. The label was not comparably widespread in the lymphoid organs, but was limited to a few intensely labeled lymphocytes and a somewhat larger number of very weakly labeled cells. When heat-killed cells rather than living cells were transfused, intensely labeled lymphocytes were absent from the lymphoid organs, but the labeling of cells in the recipients was otherwise identical. The results suggest that (a) reutilized DNA is derived from dead cells, (b) reutilized DNA is mainly degraded to nucleosides and nucleotides, the usual immediate de novo DNA precursors, before reincorporation into DNA, and (c) DNA reutilization may occur in the lymphoid organs, but on a less active scale than in intestine or regenerating liver. 相似文献

If thin sections of Escherichia coli, labeled uniformly with tritium, are radioautographed calculations, based on the distribution of section sizes show that the number of H3 decays per section should be very close to a Poisson distribution. We might, therefore, expect that the distribution of radioautographic grain counts among random cross-sections should follow a Poisson distribution. It can then be inferred that a deviation from a Poisson indicates a high concentration of label in a preferred region. This region can then be identified by analysis of serial section and comparison with electron micrographs. Sections of cells labeled with leucine-H3 gave a Poisson distribution of grain counts, and it was concluded that proteins were distributed fairly uniformly throughout the cell. The situation was not changed if labeled cells were placed in chloramphenicol or if very short pulses of label were used. When Escherichia coli is grown in presence of chloramphenicol a major morphological change concerns the nuclear region: it becomes more regular in outline, nearly spherical, and occupies a smaller proportion of the cell length. The previously described association between DNA labeled with thymidine-H3 and the nuclear region was confirmed by showing that the distribution of the label in the cell followed exactly the morphological changes of the nuclear region. It was also shown that the concentration of DNA in the nuclear region was at least 45 times higher than that of the cytoplasm. Several morphological features of cells grown in chloramphenicol and examined in the electron microscope are discussed. 相似文献

A suspension of thymocytes labeled with 125UIdR or 3HTdR was injected into the jejunum of mice. The bulk of the radioactivity disappeared within few hours from the intestine and was recovered principally in the urine. This indicated a very rapid breakdown of labeled thymic cells, reabsorption and subsequent elimination of the tracer in the kidney. In mice injected with cells labeled with 3HTdR, the initial rapid loss of radioactivity was of shorter duration, and slower during the second phase, presumably due to more extensive reutilization and/or prolonged persistence of acid-soluble radioactivity. Pretreatment of the recipients with antibiotics did not significantly reduce the rate of radioactivity loss. 相似文献

The survival of cultured EMT6 cells was examined after treatment with hydroxyurea (HU) or high specific activity tritiated thymidine (3H-TdR). The concentrations of the agents, duration of exposure to the agents, and post-exposure treatment of the cultures were found to influence the cell survival; the effects of these factors are reported. Conditions were defined under which the proportions of cells killed by HU and by 3H-TdR were the same and were also the same as the proportion of labeled cells seen on autoradiographs of cultures labeled with small doses of 3H-TdR. Under these conditions, either 3H-TdR or HU could be used to determine the proportion of the clonogenic cells in S phase. Single cell suspensions prepared from solid EMT6 tumors were treated in vitro with HU or 3H-TdR, using the conditions found optimal for each agent with cultured cells. The proportion of the tumor cells killed by treatment with HU in vitro was the same as the proportion killed by HU in vivo and as the proportion labeled by 3H-TdR in vivo, and incubation of tumor cell suspensions with HU in vitro appeared to provide a valid measurement of the proportion of clonogenic tumor cells in S phase. Incubation of tumor cell suspensions with 3H-TdR in vitro proved difficult to perform and the results were relatively unreliable because of severe problems with reutilization of 3H-TdR during the incubation for colony formation. 相似文献

When Chlamydomonas reinhardi is supplied with (methyl-3H)-thymidine, radioactivity is incorporated specifically into chloroplast DNA Chromatographic analysis of the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of the DNA reveals that only thymidine monophosphate has been labeled. Use of thymidine-6-3H yields an identical result. If thymidine-3H monophosphate is supplied, a small amount of radioactivity is incorporated into both nuclear and chloroplast DNA in proportion to the abundance of these DNA components. These observations are consistent with earlier suggestions that algae lack cytoplasmic thymidine kinase, but that the enzyme is present within their chloroplasts. 相似文献

Radioiodine-labeled 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IUdR) has been evaluated as a tracer for measuring cell loss from C3H mouse mammary tumors. This has been accomplished by considering the problems of label specificity, chemical and radiation toxicity, and reutilization; and by comparing the estimate for cell loss, as obtained here, to another independent estimate previously reported for tumors from the same slow-growing line. 125I-IUdR is the current tracer of choice for measuring cell loss from undisturbed solid tumors, and this method is simpler and more direct than the combined techniques of autoradiography and volumetric-growth-curve analyses. However, the following limitations apply: (1) the tumor DNA must be extracted prior to counting the radioactivity in the DNA, (2) one must be especially concerned with the chemical and radiation toxicity and they should be evaluated in each new situation, and (3) one must realize the potential for low levels of IUdR reutilization even in the undisturbed tumor. In perturbed situations (i.e. chemical or radiation induced killing) this problem may become severe. 相似文献

Sterile root cultures from Nicotiana tabacum were grown with H3-thymidine added to the medium for various intervals. Incorporation of the labeled nucleoside into nuclear DNA occurred in a fraction of the nuclei which increased with time. In addition, the cytoplasm of all cells incorporated enough tritium to be readily detected by autoradiography. The tritium was not removed by hydrolysis in 1 N HCl at 60°C for 10 minutes, but was removed by digestion in a DNase solution which also removed nuclear DNA. The amount of tritium in the cytoplasm increased during the first 2 hours, but did not appear to increase significantly during the following 5 hours. If the roots were transferred to unlabeled medium after 2 hours, the label was diluted faster than expected by growth without turnover of the labeled component. If FUdR was added to the unlabeled medium, the depletion occurred faster during the first 6 hours, but later appeared to level off so that at 10 hours these cultures did not differ from those incubated without FUdR. However, the addition of an excess of unlabeled carrier had no effect on the rate of depletion of the cytoplasmic label. Actinomycin D, which inhibited the incorporation of H3-cytidine into RNA in the root tips, had no effect on the incorporation of H3-thymidine into the cytoplasmic component. However, Mitomycin C or a high concentration of deoxyadenosine inhibited the incorporation of H3-thymidine into the cytoplasmic component as well as into the nuclear DNA. It is concluded that H3-thymidine is incorporated into a cytoplasmic fraction which has the characteristics of DNA, with a measurable rate of turnover. This fraction is synthesized regardless of whether or not the nucleus is synthesizing DNA. Although the function of cytoplasmic fraction is not yet known, it does not appear to be that of supplying precursors for the synthesis of the nuclear DNA. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection depresses contact sensitivity to oxazolone in mice. To test whether an altered lymphocyte circulation plays a role
in this depression51Cr-labeled lymphocytes fromP. aeruginosa-infected and oxazolone-sensitized donors were injected intravenously into infected and sensitized recipients, and the radioactivity
uptake of several organs was determine. The controls consisted of normal mice receiving labeled lymphocytes from normal donors.
While the radioactivity recovered from the liver, spleen, and mesenteric lymph nodes was similar in the test and the control
group, significantly more radioactivity was recovered from the draining lymph nodes of infected and sensitized recipients.
The concentration of labeled lymphocytes from sensitized donors in the draining lymph nodes of sensitized recipients was 18%
greater than that of the controls but 31% lower than that of infected and sensitized animals receiving cells from infected
and sensitized donors.P. aeruginosa infection enhances lymphocyte entrapment within the draining lymph nodes of oxazolone-sensitized mice. 相似文献

Summary Sibirian hamsters (Photopus sungorus) were injected with3H dihydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D, soltriol). Autoradiograms of spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes revealed nuclear concentration
of the hormone in a select population of cells in all of these organs. In the spleen, labeled cells were abundant in the red
pulp, but sparse in the white pulp. In the periarterial lymphatic sheath (PALS) labeled cells were found predominatly at the
outer rim, with a few scattered labeled cells in the inner PALS and in the marginal zone. Lymphocytes, including pyronin-positive
plasma cells, did not display nuclear labeling. In the red pulp, some of the labeled cells contained pigmented inclusions
in the cytoplsm, while most of the labeled cells did not appear phagocytic under the conditions of the experiment. In the
thymus, labeled cells were most numerous in the medulla, but sparse in the cortex. Many of the thymic target cells were larger
than the unlabeled lymphocytes, with a large and pale nucleus, sometimes containing a distinct nucleolus, and with large and
dendritic cytoplasm, having the appearance and distribution of epithelio-reticular cells. In lymph nodes, scattered labeled
cells were conspicuous in or near the subcapsular sinus, while other cells did not concentrate radioactivity in their nuclei.
The results indicate that nuclear receptors and direct genomic actions for soltriol exist in certain cell populations of lymphatic
tissues that probably include reticular cells and a subpopulation of macrophages. These target cells may mediate effects of
the steroid on lymphocytes that appear to have no or only very low numbers of nuclear receptors. 相似文献

Growth deceleration of an Ehrlich ascites tumor with increasing mass is associated with a prolongation of the cell cycle and a decline in the growth fraction. These effects are reversed upon transfer of cells from an older tumor into a new host. Studies were made to locate the stages at which a cell cycle could be suspended or resumed. Transplantation caused a prompt rise in both mitotic and flash H3TdR labeling indices. When all the cells in cycle including mitoses were prelabeled with H3TdR in older tumors, the fraction of labeled mitoses did not decline for a considerable period after transplantation into new hosts. This suggests that the early rise in mitoses is not due to a flow of resting (Go) cells from a G2 store (G2-Go transition). It appears rather to be a reflection of a lag of the mitotic process relative to other stages during the initial readjustment of the cycle. A prompt rise in flash H3TdR indices in the transplants suggested cell entry into S from either a suspended GI (G1-Go transition) or a suspended S (S-Go transition). These possibilities were examined by relating micro-spectrophotometric estimates of DNA to the cell cycle stage as revealed by H3TdR autoradiography. Since Go cells had DNA values corresponding to GI, it was concluded that decycling or recycling could occur only after mitosis and before DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Swiss Albino mice received a single i.v. injection of 3 H-thymidine (TdR) or of 125 I-deoxyuridine (IUdR). Bone marrow, thymus, spleen and mesenteric lymph node were examined for the efficiency of precursor incorporation into DNA, and for DNA renewal from day 1 to day 8.
TdR is 5–8 times more efficiently incorporated by the different organs in vivo and in vitro than is IUdR. This indicates that the discrimination against IUdR occurs at the level of DNA synthesizing cells.
A diminished DNA turnover rate measured with3 H-TdR in comparison with 125 I-UdR is interpreted to indicate reutilization of TdR.
TdR reutilization was observed in bone marrow and spleen from at least day 1 on, and in the thymus from day 3 on, following pulse labeling of DNA synthesizing cells. The degree of TdR reutilization appears higher in the thymus (67%) than the bone marrow (43%) and spleen (38%). The mesenteric lymph node indicates either no, or a very low efficiency of TdR reutilization. The data are also consistent with a reutilization equally efficient for TdR and IUdR.
It is suggested that the TdR salvage pathway in hemopoietic tissues is largely localized to single organs which have immediate access to TdR made available by catabolism of DNA. The contribution of TdR from systemic reutilization to the organs studied falls within the limits of error of measurements. Moreover, the TdR salvage pathway especially in the lymph node may involve other DNA breakdown products than nucleosides. 相似文献

Light-grown cells of Ochromonas danica, which contain a single chloroplast per cell, were labeled with [methyl-3H]thymidine for 3 h (0.36 generations) and the distribution of labeled DNA among the progeny chloroplasts was followed during exponential growth in unlabeled medium for a further 3.3 generations using light microscope autoradiography of serial sections of entire chloroplasts. Thymidine was specifically incorporated into DNA in both nuclei and chloroplasts. Essentially all the chloroplasts incorporated label in the 3-h labeling period, indicating that chloroplast DNA is synthesized throughout the cell cycle. Nuclear DNA has a more limited S period. Both chloroplast DNA and nuclear DNA are conserved during 3.3 generations. After 3.3 generations in unlabeled medium, grains per chloroplast followed a Poisson distribution indicating essentially equal labeling of all progeny chloroplasts. It is concluded that the average chloroplast in cells of Ochromonas growing exponentially in the light contains at least 10 segregating DNA molecules. 相似文献

Abstract. Cell proliferation kinetics of the sarcoma induced by Moloney virus was studied in newborn Swiss OFl mice.
After in vivo injection of tritiated thymidine, followed by autoradiography, it was shown that the majority of cells were actively proliferating (labelling index; 31%, growth fraction 78%). The mean cell cycle was 16 hr and cell loss was relatively low (cell loss factor 48%). The study of tumour specific activity with time after a single [ in vivo ] injection of [3 H]dR or [125 I]UdR did not demonstrate the same degree of cell loss as that calculated by autoradiography. This result is consistent with a massive reutilization of radioactivity released by normal tissues. 相似文献

Wimber , Donald E. (Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, N. Y.) Duration of the nuclear cycle in Tradescantia paludosa root tips as measured with H3-thymidine. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(10): 828–834. Illus. 1960.—The duration of the nuclear cycle and its various subdivisions were measured in Tradescantia root tips by autoradiographic techniques. H3-thymidine was used as a nuclear label and was supplied to the roots for 0.5 hr. After labeling, the roots were allowed to grow in the absence of label for periods up to 38 hr. By determining the percentage of divisions labeled at the various times of fixation, a reconstruction of the nuclear cycle could be made. The average cycle was determined as 20 hr. in duration, DNA synthesis 10.8 hr., presynthetic interphase 4 hr., postsynthetic interphase 2.7 hr., prophase 1.6 hr., metaphase 0.3 hr. and anaphase-telophase 0.6 hr. Approximate standard deviations for the duration of some of the subdivisions were calculated. 相似文献

After enzyme secretion the membrane of the secretory granule, which had been fused to the cell membrane, was resorbed into the cell. Experiments were therefore carried out to test whether formation of new secretory granules involves reutilization of the resorbed membrane or synthesis of a new membrane, de novo, from amino acids. Incorporation of amino acids-14C into proteins of various cell fractions was measured in vivo, 30, 120, and. 300 min after labeling. At all times the specific radioactivity of the secretory granule membrane was about equal to that of the granule's exportable content. At 120 and 300 min the specific radioactivity of the granule membrane and of the granule content was much higher than that of any other subcellular fraction. It is therefore concluded that the protein of the membrane is synthesized de novo concomitantly with the exportable protein. The proteins of the granule membrane could be distinguished from those of the granule content by gel electrophoresis. All major bands were labeled proportionately to their staining intensity. The amino acid composition of the secretory granule membrane was markedly different from that of the granule's content and also from that of the mitochondrial membrane. The granule membrane showed a high proline content, 30 moles/100 moles amino acids. The analyses show that the radioactivity of the granule membrane is indeed inherent in its proteins and is not due to contamination by other fractions. The possibility is considered that the exportable protein leaves the endoplasmic reticulum already enveloped by the newly synthesized membrane. 相似文献
