ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF LIVER CELL NUCLEOLI

1. The significance of the term nucleolus has been discussed. 2. A detailed method for the isolation of nucleoli from already isolated rat or cat liver nuclei has been presented. 3. The presence of DNA in isolated liver cell nucleoli has been indicated by histochemical methods. 4. The percentages of DNA and RNA in the isolated nucleoli have been determined by chemical analysis. 5. The specific activities of aldolase, arginase, and catalase have been determined for two subnuclear fractions and for the isolated nucleoli of rat and cat liver, and the relative amounts of these enzymes in the same subnuclear fractions and nucleoli of rat liver have been measured. 6. The significance of the above findings has been discussed and consideration has been given to what types of isolated nuclei might best serve as starting material for the isolation of nucleoli. 7. A new hypothesis has been presented that nucleoli of the liver cell type may function primarily in furnishing (directly or indirectly) templates for the synthesis of the particular enzymes that must govern the chemistry of mitosis.     

THE ISOLATION OF A CELL MEMBRANE FRACTION FROM RAT LIVER

A procedure is described for isolating cell membranes from rat liver homogenates. 20 gm. of rat liver was homogenized in a Dounce homogenizer in ice cold water buffered to pH 7.5 with NaHCO₃, rupturing all of the cells and most nuclei. The diluted homogenate was filtered through cheesecloth to remove precipitated nucleoprotein and centrifuged at 1500 g, 10 minutes, to sediment a crude membrane fraction. The membrane containing sediment was recentrifuged 3 times in conical tubes (1220 g, 10 minutes), the top layer of the 2-layered sediment being retained. Flotation in a sucrose solution d = 1.22 freed the preparation from contaminating cell fragments and nuclear membranes not previously disintegrated. The floating material ~0.4 ml. was quite homogeneous and consisted of thin amorphous membranes. Electron micrographs revealed numerous double profiles similar in shape and dimensions to apposed liver cell membranes in intact tissue.     

小鼠肝脏树突状细胞前体分离培养及影响其成熟因素的初步探讨

本次首次建立了从小鼠肝脏分离、培养、扩增肝树突状细胞（ｈｅｐａｔｉｃｄｅｎｄｒｉｔｉｃｃｅｌ,ＨＤＣ）前体的方法。采用经门静脉插管胶原酶二步循环灌流法及Ｐｅｒｃｏｌ不连续密度梯度离心法分离非肝细胞,得到含ＨＤＣ前体组分,将其分三组培养：第一组加入重组小鼠粒细胞／巨噬细胞集落刺激因子（ＭｒＧＭＣＳＦ）,待培养９天后,将细胞转移至鼠尾胶原上继续培养。第二组加入ＭｒＧＭＣＳＦ培养,但细胞不转移。第三组为对照组,仅加完全培养液。结果显示：第一、二组细胞于培养４天可见有许多细胞集落形成,第一组细胞转移至鼠尾胶原上培养１天后,细胞集落减少,而培养液中ＤＣ密度明显增加,光镜和扫描、透射电镜观察证明培养ＨＤＣ纯度达９５％,第二组则无上述细胞释放现象。实验结果提示,ＨＤＣ前体在体外受细胞因子刺激能大量扩增,但必须在胶原存在下才能分化成熟     

应用转铁蛋白-Sepharose 4 B亲和层析分离浓集小鼠胎肝CFU-E

本文以人血清转铁蛋白与Sepharose 4B交联制成转铁蛋白-Sepharose 4 B亲和层析凝胶,应用转铁蛋白-Sepharose 4 B亲和柱层析分离浓集小鼠胎肝红系造血祖细胞CFU-E。绝大部分CFU-S和CFU-GM均被转铁蛋白-Seph-arose 4 B亲和柱层析洗脱,且转铁蛋白-Seph-arose 4 B柱层析对CFU-S、CFU-GM无明显浓集作用。大部分BFU-E和几乎所有CFU-E均被吸附在亲和层析柱上;经解离吸附洗脱后,BFU-E和CFU-E浓集倍数分别为6.3倍和9.2倍,由此证明了CFU-E细胞膜表面转铁蛋白受体的高度密集性,为今后以转铁蛋白为分子探针,识别和研究CFU-E提供了实验依据。     

胡萝卜(Daucus carota L.)胚性细胞蛋白的分离研究

应用IEF/SDS-PAGE双向电泳技术,比较了胡萝卜胚性细胞、非胚性细胞和不同发育时期的胚状体中可溶性蛋白的双向电泳图谱,结果发现在胚性细胞中特异存在的胚性细胞蛋白在不同发育时期的胚状体中也存在,但在非胚性细胞中不存在。因此,推测体细胞胚胎发生所需的一些基因在胚性细胞中就早已表达了。我们还成功地分离和测定了ECP 45-2 N-末端和中央部分氨基酸序列。与已知氨基酸序列相比,ECP 45-2部分氨基酸序列与ECP 45-1 部分氨基酸序列具有较高比例的同源性。因此, ECP 45-1和45-2可能属于同一因基家族。     

ISOLATION OF SMOOTH VESICLES AND FREE RIBOSOMES FROM RAT LIVER MICROSOMES

Microsomes, isolated from rat liver homogenate in 0.88 M sucrose, have been fractionated by differential centrifugation. The 2nd microsomal fraction, sedimented between 60 minutes at 105,000 g and 3 hours at 145,000 g, consists mainly of smooth vesicles, free ribosomes, and ferritin. By utilizing the differences in density existing between the membranes and the granular elements it has been possible to separate the smooth membranes from the free ribosomes and ferritin. The procedure is to resuspend the 2nd microsomal fraction in a sucrose solution of 1.21 or 1.25 density and centrifuge it at 145,000 g for 20 or 40 hours. A centripetal migration of membranes and a centrifugal sedimentation of granular elements are obtained. Phospholipids, as well as the enzymatic activities DPNH-cytochrome c reductase, glucose-6-phosphatase and esterase are localized in the membranes. The free ribosomes have been purified by washing. A concentration of 200 µg RNA per mg nitrogen has been reached. RNA is also present in the membranes. These results are discussed in relation to current views on microsomal structure and chemistry.

THE ISOLATION OF CELL NUCLEI FROM RAT BRAIN

A method for preparing highly pure cell nuclei from adult rat brain, using both differential and isopycnic centrifugation in sucrose media, is described. The morphology of these preparations was examined by both phase contrast and electron microscopy. The isolated nuclei retained many aspects of their in situ morphology; in particular, the nuclear envelope was double layered and interrupted by pore-like discontinuities, and the nucleoli consisted of irregular masses of densely packed granules. Analyses of these nuclear preparations for cytochrome oxidase and cholinesterase activity, as well as RNA/DNA ratio, indicated minimal contamination with mitochondria and microsomes. Problems involving the homogenization technique, choice of ionic conditions in the homogenization medium, and choice of optimal density of the sucrose solution used for the final purification of nuclei are discussed. Results of application of the technique to isolation of adult rat liver nuclei are also reported.

ISOLATION OF TWO DISTINCT CLASSES OF POLYSOMES FROM A NUCLEAR FRACTION OF RAT LIVER

Isolated rat liver nuclei were washed with Triton-X-100 in the presence of liver cell sap. This treatment liberated a fraction of polysomes which were isolated by differential centrifugation and were designated "outer membrane polysomes." The outer membrane polysomes synthesized protein in vivo. Shortly after injection of orotic acid-¹⁴C, the RNA of outer membrane polysomes had a higher specific activity than that of cytoplasmic polysomes. It was postulated that outer membrane polysomes may be an intermediate in the transfer of newly synthesized RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In other experiments, Triton-washed rat liver nuclei were lysed in the presence of deoxycholate and deoxyribonuclease. A ribonucleoprotein fraction was isolated from the lysate by differential centrifugation. This fraction contained "intranuclear ribosomes," which sedimented like partially degraded polysomes in sucrose gradients. This degradation could be partially prevented if intranuclear ribosomes were purified by sedimentation through heavy sucrose. The resulting pellets were termed "intranuclear polysomes" because they contained some undergraded polysomes. Intranuclear polysomes were highly radioactive after a brief pulse with orotic acid-¹⁴C, but did not appear to synthesize protein rapidly in vivo. Intranuclear polysomes may represent the initial stage of assembly of polyribosomes in the nucleus.

THE ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF LARGE BASIC PEPTIDES FROM BOVINE SPINAL CORD

Abstract— Two basic peptides (B1 and B2) were derived from bovine spinal cord following in situ proteolysis at 37°C for 10–24 h. These peptides do not arise as degradation products from the A1 protein as shown by amino acid composition and end group analysis; rather they appear to originate from some larger basic protein in the spinal cord having similarities to the P2 protein, a basic protein found in peripheral nerve myelin. The peptides were purified following defatting, acid extraction, and ammonium sulphate fractionation, by chromatography on Amberlite IRC-50 resin using guanidinium chloride. The peptides, found generally in a 4:1 ratio of B1 to B2, appeared homogeneous on gel electrophoresis and immunodiffusion. Approximately 25–60 mg of peptides was obtained per 100 g wet spinal cord.
In contrast to the basic A1 protein from myelin, neither of these peptides nor their pepsin digests were encephalitogenic. They do not cross-react immunologically with the basic A1 protein, but cross-react with each other. These peptides further differ from the A1 protein in their tryptic peptide map, size (B1, 63 residues; B2, 54 residues), and composition particularly the high lysine: arginine ratio, and low histidine content. Like the A1 protein, however, they contain a tryptophan residue and a blocked NH₂-terminal amino acid; peptide Bl has COOH-terminal valine. It was concluded that the basic peptides represent a fragment of a hitherto unidentified protein(s) of the nervous system.     

ISOLATION AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SECRETORY GRANULES FROM RAT ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLANDS

A method is described for the isolation of secretory granules from rat anterior pituitary glands. The method consists of differential and isopycnic gradient centrifugations, followed by filtration of the zones containing granules on Nuclepore filters to remove mitochondria. Highly purified granules were obtained as indicated by electron microscopy. Major parts of the thyrotropin (TSH) and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) were recovered in a single fraction of granules as were follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones. The somatotropin (STH) and prolactin (LTH) were recovered in separate granule fractions. The major parts of the six different hormones were associated with their respective granule fractions as shown by bioassays specific for each of the hormones. The diameters of granules in sections of intact rat pituitary glands and in isolated pellets were measured, and the means and ranges were in close agreement. These results contribute to the identification of the cell types which produce the different pituitary hormones.
