Effects of polyamines on poly(ADP-ribose) formation and DNA synthesis in the chick-embryo-liver nuclei were investigated. When 14-day chick-embryo-liver nuclei were incubated with [3H]NAD in the presence of 1 mM spermine, 2.5 mM spermidine, or 3.5 mM putrescine, a 9-fold increase in poly)ADP-ribose) formation was observed. Nuclei treated with nuclease showed high poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase activity as spermine-treated nuclei. However, no further increase in the polymer formation by polyamines was detected in the nuclease-treated nuclei. We found that an increase in the polymer formation by spermine was the result of an increase in both chain length and chain number of the polymer at 2.3- and 6-fold, respectively. The major ADP-ribosylated proteins were determined as two non-histone proteins of Mr 130 000 and 70 000. The experiment of DNA synthesis with nuclei ADP-ribosylated in the presence of spermine showed a 7-fold increase in [3H]dTMP incorporation into the acid-inaoluble fraction. A similar stimulation was also found with nuclei treated with other polysmines, spermidine and putrescine, in the presence of NAD. These results indicate that DNA synthesis in growing tissues containing polyamines at high levels, such as is the case with tumors and the fetus, is stimulated by polyamine-mediated ADP-ribosylation of the nuclear proteins. 相似文献

The effects of lesions of the median raphe or dorsal raphe nuclei on ovarian cycle were studied in rats. Lesions involving raphe nuclei decreased forebrain 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindole acid (5-HIAA) concentrations. Rats with lesions of the raphe showed prolonged estrous phase as well as an increase in both the eosinophilic index and karyopycnotic index of the vaginal smears. Histological examinations revealed that lesions of both the dorsal and median raphe produced marked increase in the number of maturing and mature follicles as well as an increase in corpora lutea. The increase in uterine weight was also observed. Present results indicate that lesions of the ascending 5-HT neurons stimulate ovulation and cause an increase in the estrogenic activity. Thus, the 5-HT neurons of the raphe nuclei seem to inhibit ovulation probably due to inhibiting of the hypothalamic releasing hormones. 相似文献

Numbers of muscle nuclei and myosatellite cell nuclei in red and white axial muscle during growth of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
We determined the percentages of muscle fibie nuclei and satellite nuclei over a growth range of carp ( Cyprinus carpio ), as the increase in the number of muscle fibre nuclei is an important aspect of the increase in muscle mass, and myosatellite cells are believed to be the source of new muscle fibre nuclei. In white as well as in red axial muscle the percentage of the nuclei present in muscle that are muscle nuclei (muscle fibre nuclei+myosatellite nuclei) remained constant during growth (54 and 32% respectively). The difference in the percentage of non-muscle nuclei between white and red axial muscle is mainly caused by the higher content of endothelial nuclei in red axial muscle.
In white axial muscle the DNA/protein ratio (nucleus/sarcoplasm ratio) decreased between 3 and 15 cm S.l. In red axial muscle we found a continuous decrease in DNA/protein ratio over the entire investigated size range (3–50 cm s.l.). This may be related to a longer occurrence of hyperplasia in red than in white axial muscle.
In both fibre types the percentage of muscle nuclei being myosatellite nuclei decreased with increasing length, In white axial muscle it decreased from about 5% in carp of 5 cm s.l. to less than 1% in carp of 20 cm S.L.; for red muscle these values were 11 and 3% respectively.
For white axial muscle we calculated that, especially in larger fish, the myosatellite ceils alone cannot account for the increase in the number of muscle fibre nuclei during growth. The percentage of proliferating nuclei in muscle tissue, measured by the uptake of 5-bromo-2'-deoxy-uridine, is high enough to account for the total increase in nuclei. So indirect evidence is available that another cell type present in the muscle tissue may also be involved in the formation of additional muscle fibre nuclei. 相似文献

Highly purified liver nuclei incorporated radiolabeled phosphate into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P), PtdIns(4,5)P(2), and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). When nuclei were depleted of their membrane, no radiolabeling of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) could be detected showing that within the intranuclear region there are no class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)s. In membrane-depleted nuclei harvested 20 h after partial hepatectomy, the incorporation of radiolabel into PtdIns(3)P was observed together with an increase in immunoprecipitable PI3K-C2beta activity, which is sensitive to wortmannin (10 nm) and shows strong preference for PtdIns over PtdIns(4)P as a substrate. On Western blots PI3K-C2beta revealed a single immunoreactive band of 180 kDa, whereas 20 h after partial hepatectomy gel shift of 18 kDa was noticed, suggesting that observed activation of enzyme is achieved by proteolysis. When intact membrane-depleted nuclei were subjected to short term (20 min) exposure to micro-calpain, similar gel shift together with an increase in PI3K-C2beta activity was observed, when compared with the nuclei harvested 20 h after partial hepatectomy. Moreover, the above-mentioned gel shift and increase in PI3K-C2beta activity could be prevented by the calpain inhibitor calpeptin. The data presented in this report show that, in the membrane-depleted nuclei during the compensatory liver growth, there is an increase in PtdIns(3)P formation as a result of PI3K-C2beta activation, which may be a calpain-mediated event. 相似文献

The degree of ploidy in the interphase nuclei was determined in the connective zone of the rat's placenta on days 13 and 14 of embryo development. On day 13, the ploidy in the majority of nuclei was 2c or 4c; on day 14, the 4c nuclei were dominating, the share of 8c nuclei increasing. The number of Barr's bodies in each nucleus of the placental connective zone tends to increase with the increase in ploidy level. This is an evidence of a "genuine polyploidy" as a mechanism of the initial polyploidization of the given cell population. 相似文献

Differently directed changes in metabolic activity of anterior hypothalamic nuclei's neurons in rats during hyperthermia, fever, and hypothermia were revealed with histochemical methods. During hyperthermia, the activity of energy metabolism enzymes increased as well as RNA content in the neurons of supraoptic, paraventricular and median preoptic anterior hypothalamic nuclei. This is shown by an increase in the metabolic activity of neurons of these nuclei. Metabolic activity in neurons of median preoptic nuclei decreased and was not changed considerably in neurons of supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei during endotoxin-induced fever. The development of hypothermia was characterised by a decrease in metabolic activity of neurons of supraoptic, paraventricular and medium preoptic nuclei. It is supposed that differently directed metabolic activity changes in neurons of anterior hypothalamic nuclei during hyperthermia are connected with the mechanisms of body temperature regulation (median preoptic nuclei) and neurosecretory processes (supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei). 相似文献

In vitro Ca++ activates gelsolin to sever F-actin and form a gelsolin-actin (GA) complex at the+end of F-actin that is not dissociated by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) but is separated by EGTA+PIP/PIP2. The gelsolin blocks the+end on the actin filament, but the-end of the filament can still initiate actin polymerization. In thrombin activated platelets, evidence suggests that severing of F-actin by gelsolin increases GA complex, creates one-end actin nucleus and one cryptic+end actin nucleus per cut, and then dissociates to yield free+ends to nucleate rapid actin assembly. We examined the role of F-actin severing in creation and regulation of nuclei and polymerization in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). At 2-s intervals after formyl peptide (FMLP) activation of endotoxin free (ETF) PMNs, change in GA complex was correlated with change in+end actin nuclei,-end actin nuclei, and F-actin content. GA complex was quantitated by electrophoretograms of proteins absorbed by antigelsolin from cells lysed in 10 mM EGTA,+end actin nuclei as cytochalasin (CD) sensitive and-end actin nuclei as CD insensitive increases in G-pyrenyl actin polymerization rates induced by the same PMNs, and F-actin content by NBDphallacidin binding to fixed cells. Thirty three percent of gelsolin was in GA complex in basal ETF PMNs; from 2-6 s, GA complexes dissociate (low = 15% at 10 s) and sequentially+end nuclei and F-actin content and then-end nuclei increase to a maximum at 10 s. At > s GA complex increase toward basal and + end nuclei and F-actin content returned toward basal. These kinetic data show gelsolin regulates availability of + end nuclei and actin polymerization in FMLP. However, absence of an initial increase in GA complex or - end nucleating activity shows FMLP activation does not cause gelsolin to sever F- or to bind G-actin to create cryptic + end nuclei in PMNs; the results suggest the + nucleus formation is gelsolin independent. 相似文献

Neurocyte nuclei increase in volume without structural changes in karyoplasm at early times after gamma-irradiation of rat head with doses of 50 to 100 Gy. Irradiation of 200 Gy causes a diminution of the nuclei volume while at a dose of 400 Gy the nuclei do not change their volume. A dose as high as 1000 Gy causes severe changes in the karyoplasm leading to nucleus swelling. At later times (24-72 h), the increase in the nuclei volume is associated with the changes in the karyoplasm structure. At one and the same dose, radiation causes either a decrease (irradiation of the head) or increase (exposure of the body) in the neurocyte nuclei volume. At early times after wholebody uniform irradiation no karyometric changes are detected. The nucleus swelling is more pronounced at lower dose-rates. 相似文献

We applied the nuclear DNA Diffusion Assay, described as an accurate tool to estimate apoptotic and necrotic cells [N.P. Singh, A simple method for accurate estimation of apoptotic cells, Exp. Cell Res. 256 (2000) 328-337] to tobacco root and leaf cells. In this assay, isolated nuclei are embedded in an agarose microgel on a microscope slide and low molecular-weight DNA fragments diffuse into the microgel. Exposure of the roots to hydrogen peroxide significantly increased the average nuclear area of isolated nuclei. After 4 and 24 h of recovery, all DNA damage was repaired. The data clearly demonstrate that the manifestation of diffused nuclei upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide is not the result of non-repairable apoptotic or necrotic DNA fragmentation, but represents repairable genotoxin-induced DNA damage. In contrast, treatment with the alkylating agent ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) followed by 24 h of recovery produced a significant increase in the average nuclear area. The contribution of apoptosis to this increase cannot be excluded. Heat treatment of leaves at 50 degrees C for 1-15 min leading to necrosis, and treatment of isolated nuclei with DNase-I, which digests DNA to nucleosome-sized fragments as during apoptosis, also led to a dose-dependent increase in the nuclear area. The use of different fluorochromes (ethidium bromide, DAPI or YOYO-1) for DNA staining yielded similar results in the DNA Diffusion Assay. As all types and sizes of diffused nuclei were observed after EMS and hydrogen peroxide treatments, we were unable to differentiate, on the basis of the structure of the nuclei, between apoptotic or necrotic DNA fragmentation and other types of genotoxin-induced DNA damage in plants. 相似文献

Osteoclast development and growth were studied by determining the number of labelled nuclei in osteoclasts of different sizes (based on the number of nuclei per osteoclast, N/O) and the number of osteoclasts with labelled nuclei at various intervals after tritiated thymidine [( 3H]TdR) injection in young rats. The osteoclast smears were made from the cellular periosteum of the proximal tibia. The frequency distribution of the N/O osteoclasts types in the smears had profiles similar to that of in situ osteoclasts in whole mounts of proximal tibia, which indicates that the osteoclast population of the smears was representative of that on the bone surface. A vast majority of the osteoclasts had a 1-6 N/O, and a number of the cells had as many as 26 or more nuclei. Furthermore, profiles of N/O frequency distributions were similar over the course of the study. Nuclei with [3H]TdR label were initially observed in osteoclasts between 4 and 12 hr after isotope injection. However, fusion of labelled nuclei to osteoclasts continued for at least 150 hr. In general, the labelled osteoclasts exhibited a significantly larger number of nuclei than the unlabelled osteoclasts. The probability of an osteoclast incorporating one or more labelled nuclei increased with time after injection and with an increase in N/O. Labelling intensity decreased with time post injection and with an increase in N/O. The data suggest that turnover of nuclei is more rapid in osteoclasts with high N/O values. 相似文献

Abstract. Osteoclast development and growth were studied by determining the number of labelled nuclei in osteoclasts of different sizes (based on the number of nuclei per osteoclast, N/O) and the number of osteoclasts with labelled nuclei at various intervals after tritiated thymidine ([3 H]TdR) injection in young rats. The osteoclast smears were made from the cellular periosteum of the proximal tibia. The frequency distribution of the N/O osteoclasts types in the smears had profiles similar to that of in situ osteoclasts in whole mounts of proximal tibia, which indicates that the osteoclast population of the smears was representative of that on the bone surface.

The addition of thymidine as well as nicotinamide to isolated nuclei resulted in a strong inhibition of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, whereas that of hydroxyurea and amethopterin has essentially no effect. The nuclei isolated from the cells immediately after release from thymidine synchronization exhibited a significantly increased activity of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. Thereafter, the fluctuation pattern of the activity of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in isolated nuclei during the cell cycle was essentially the same as in the case of hydroxyurea synchronization. The activity of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in isolated nuclei after treatment with thymidine in vivo increased with the treatment time. The time-dependent increase was also evident in the case of nicotinamide treatment. Little increase in the activity was observed in hydroxyurea and amethopterin treatment. When poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was extracted from the nuclei isolated from the cells which were pretreated with each of the four compounds, there was no significant difference in the amount among these compounds. The reason for the increase in the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in vitro by the in vivo treatment with thymidine is discussed. 相似文献

The data obtained show that searching activity of animals increases at an early stage (24 hrs) of water deprivation (WD) and is accompanied by an increase in the content of cytoplasmic proteins. WD up to 3 days produces further rise of motor searching activity with simultaneous increase of protein content not in the cytoplasm alone but in the nuclei of neurons and glial cells as well. During long-term periods of WD (5 days), motor activity considerably decreases, the animals showing signs of depression. The content and concentration of proteins significantly decrease in all studied components of neurons and glia of the hypothalamic nuclei under study. Existence of correlation between protein content (cytoplasmic and nuclear) and behavior of animals is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Cytofluorometric methods were used to study the syntheses of DNA and of some proteins during the second intermitotic period of isolated nuclei and nucleoli of Physarum polycephalum. Interferometric methods were used for the determination of their dry mass.The volume and dry mass of nuclei and nucleoli showed similar behaviour, the nuclei doubling their volume and dry mass, and the nucleoli tripling them.The DNA synthesis began immediately after mitosis; the content nearly doubled after the first 3 hours in the case of the nuclei, after the first 5 hours in the case of the nucleoli. In both cases a slow increase (10%) was registered until the next mitosis.Of all proteins investigated only protein-bound lysine of nuclei and nucleoli did not double in initial content, this is ascribed to the isolation method used. This fact was also reflected by the total protein analysis, as nuclei and nucleoli were very rich in lysine. Protein-bound arginine of the nuclei and nucleoli showed an evolution similar to DNA. The histones showed a synthesis independent of that of DNA. The comparison of total protein content and dry mass suggested that the quicker increase of the latter should be attributed to RNA. 相似文献

There was a linear relation between an increase in DNA content and size of nuclei, nucleoli and cells in callus and proembryos (Theobroma cacao L.). In callus the increase of DNA content was accompanied by proportional increase in nuclear size whereas in proembryos the increase in nuclear size did not match the increasing amount of DNA. The stimulation of embryogenesis by 10(-2) mg/l 2,4-D was associated with increase in nuclear and nucleolar size and with decrease in cell sizes. Inhibition of embryogenesis by 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D+10% coconut water did not change nuclear size, but increased cell size in relation to the control. The process of embryo formation was accompanied by changes in relationship between nuclear, nucleolar and cell size and the total (DNFB-stained) proteins content. In callus as well as in proembryo the increase in total protein content in nucleus was not equivalent to the increasing sizes of nuclei which leads to the decrease in nuclear protein concentration. Similar situation was observed for nucleoli. Differences were found in the concentration of cytoplasmic proteins between the callus and proembryo cells. The stimulation of embryogenesis by low concentration of 2,4-D resulted in decrease in concentration of total proteins in nuclei and nucleoli and the increase in cytoplasm. 相似文献

The development of polyploidy in two classes of rat liver nuclei 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two classes of nuclei from livers of Sprague-Dawley rats were isolated, one pelleting in 2.3 M sucrose (H nuclei) and the second class sedimenting through 1.6 and 1.8 M sucrose and banding at the 1.8/2.3 M sucrose interface (L nuclei) of a three-step discontinuous gradient. In younger animals, the L nuclear fraction was the major fraction, but the percentage of nuclei found in the L fraction decreased as the animals grew. Nuclear ploidy was determined by flow microfluorometry using propidium iodide as a DNA stain. Both the H and L nuclear fractions contained diploid, tetraploid and octaploid nuclei; but the degree of polyploidy was greater in the H fraction. Concomitant with the change in distribution of nuclei between the H and L fractions with increasing age was a progressive increase in the degree of polyploidy in the H fraction. Polyploidy did not increase linearly with age in the H nuclear fraction but increased in cycles marked by large changes in the numbers of nuclei found in H and L nuclear fractions. By 12 weeks of age, 4n-H nuclei were the largest single population of nuclei in rat liver. These observations suggested that the shift of liver nuclei from the L fraction to the H fraction was associated with the development of polyploidy and with the differentiation of hepatocytes. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with an increase in apoptosis, and we showed previously that endonuclease G (EndoG) is localized to nuclei following unloading. The goal of this study was to determine whether the onset of apoptosis in response to disuse was consistent with the hypothesis that EndoG is involved in myofiber nuclear loss. Atrophy was induced by hindlimb suspension for 12 h or 1, 2, 4 and 7 days in 6-mo-old rats. Soleus myofiber cross-sectional area decreased significantly by 2 days, whereas muscle mass and muscle-to-body mass ratio decreased by 4 and 7 days, respectively. By contrast, a significant increase in apoptosis, evidenced by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive nuclei, occurred as early as 12 h after suspension, preceding the elevation in muscle atrophy F-box gene expression. The early increase in apoptosis appeared to be specific to myofiber nuclei, whereas TUNEL-positive interstitial cells did not become significantly elevated until 2 days after suspension. Furthermore, TUNEL-positive myofiber nuclei colocalized with EndoG as early as 12 h after suspension, and no such localization was observed in interstitial cells. Although no significant change in total activated caspase-3, -7, or -12 protein abundance was apparent, activated caspase-3 was expressed in interstitial cells undergoing apoptosis, some of which were endothelial cells. These data indicate that apoptosis is an early, and therefore possibly causative, event in the process of muscle atrophy, and that EndoG nuclear translocation is specific for myofiber nuclear apoptosis, whereas interstitial cells may undergo apoptosis via a more classical, caspase-dependent pathway. 相似文献
