The ultrastructure of the nucleolus of highly differentiated trophoblast giant cells has been studied on the 17th day of the foetus development. Changes in its morphology have been followed in relation to the degree of nuclear chromatin condensation and to the cell differentiation level. The nucleoli have a reticular structure in the nuclei with dispersed and condensed chromatin. In both the cases the nucleoli involve the four components: fibro-granular, fibrillar (of moderate and normal density) and lacunar regions; fibrillar centres are distinguished within the regions. In the nucleoli with condensed chromatin, unlike those with dispersed chromatin, the perinuclear chromatin is clearly seen, and the penetration of nucleolus-organizer threads along lacunae and deep into the nucleolus can be easily followed. The fibrillar centres are more obvious. With the run of a progressive differentiation of the trophoblast cells, the number of granules is reduced; first, the fibro-granular component covers a significant part of the nucleolus, then granules become visible only in the cortical zone of the nucleolus; in the nuclei with strongly condensed chromatin no granules are seen in the nucleolus. 相似文献

The correlation between the number of nucleolus organizing regions (NOR) on metaphase chromosomes and the number of nucleoli was studied in normal and micronucleate cells. Many micronuclei, but not all, were able to form complete nucleoli with fibrillar and granular RNP components and fibrillar centers. Micronuclei which failed to form complete nucleoli often contained multiple electron-dense bodies of fibrillar material. These structures, which were much smaller than nucleoli, reacted with nucleolus-specific antibodies and the Ag-As method in the same way as complete nucleoli, but lacked fibrillar centers and granular RNP components. The data suggest that these nucleolus-like ‘blobs’ contain nucleolar material which, following mitosis, has been enclosed in micronuclei which do not contain nucleolus organizing chromosomes. No evidence was found for the activation of latent NORs not expressed in mononucleate cells. 相似文献

Serial sectioning of wheat roots prepared for electron microscopy was used to count the number of fibrillar centres per nucleus and nucleolus and to calculate their sizes. After growth at 35 ° C for two days the nucleoli became segregated and a one to one relationship was evident between chromosomal nucleolar organizers and fibrillar centres. This was confirmed using an aneuploid line carrying an additional pair of organizers. Quantitative studies showed that the fibrillar centres occupied a volume 0.24% of the total chromatin reticulum. From this it was calculated that only about 1/3 of the fibrillar centre material was likely to be nucleolar organizer chromatin. The other material was considered to be the protein revealed in silver staining studies. The importance of this was shown by its constant ratio to the size of all nucleoli in a given nucleus. — Evidence was found for the movement and fusion of organizer flanking regions during growth at 35 ° C. The number of junctions between chromatin and nucleolar organizers drops by about half giving one per organizer after segregation, and serial sectioning demonstrated such junctions in close proximity, an arrangement suggestive of incipient fusion. 相似文献

In okadaic acid treated HeLa cells, the chromosomes sometimes condense without being accompanied by nuclear envelope breakdown. These cells show "persistent" nucleoli. Within these "persistent" nucleoli the intranucleolar chromatin condenses and can be observed in the region of the dense nucleolar component (DNC) of the nucleoli. Other nucleolar components, namely the fibrillar centre (FC) and the granular component (GC) remain unchanged. These observations strongly speak for the localization of nucleolar chromatin (ribosomal cistrons) within the dense nucleolar component of the interphase nucleolus. 相似文献

We have investigated the precise location of DNA within the meristematic cell nucleolus ofZea maysroot cells andPisum sativumcotyledonary buds, in the course of their activation and induced inactivation following a subsequent treatment at low temperature. For this purpose, we combined the acetylation method, providing an excellent distinction between the various nucleolar components, with thein situterminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-immunogold technique, a highly sensitive method for detecting DNA at the ultrastructural level. In addition to the presence of DNA in the condensed chromatin associated with the nucleolus, we demonstrated that a significant label was detected in the nucleolus of quiescent cells in both plant models. Evident labels were also found in the dense fibrillar component of actived nucleoli. Whereas in inactivated nucleoli no significant label was observed within the dense fibrillar component, an intense label was seen over the large heterogeneous fibrillar centres only during inactivation. The granular component was never significantly labelled. These results appear to indicate that the DNA present in the dense fibrillar component of activated nucleoli withdraws from this structure during its inactivation and becomes incorporated in the large fibrillar centres. These observations suggest that in plant cells inactivation of rRNA genes is clearly accompanied by changes in the conformation of ribosomal chromatin. 相似文献

The fine structure of the insect Sf9 cell nucleolus has been investigated by means of different cytochemical and immunocytochemical techniques at the electron microscope level. Apart from a few perinucleolar condensed chromatin clumps, the insect cell nucleolus comprises two compartments. The first of these consists of a roundish compact zone formed of fibrillar material. The other is composed of fibrillar and granular structures organized into a network separated by interstitial spaces. But, unlike mammalian cell nucleoli, any fibrillar center has been observed in the Sf9 cell nucleolus, even after actinomycin D treatment. We also show that the compact fibrillar zone of Sf9 cell nucleoli contains silver-stainable material and DNA. In actinomycin D-treated cells, a preferential contact of this compact fibrillar zone with condensed chromatin has been visualized. Finally, silver-stainable material has been found to persist throughout the whole mitosis. These results suggest that the compact fibrillar zone at the insect Sf9 cell nucleolus should, at least partly, correspond to the fibrillar center of mammalian cell nucleoli. 相似文献

The method of ultra-thin serial sections was used to study the three-dimensional structure and to perform the quantitative analysis of ring-shaped nucleoli of kidney and liver endotheliocytes, smooth muscle cells of kidney arterioles and fibroblasts of mice. Spatial models of ring-shaped nucleoli with one fibrillar centre are given. For the quantitative analysis the following parameters were measured: the number and volumes of nucleoli, fibrillar centers, RNP-containing structures, the vacuolar system and the RNP-index (the latter is a ratio of RNP-part and fibrillar center volumes). Nucleoli of the same type of cells, occasionally in the same nucleus, were found to differ sharply in their fibrillar center shape. Differences in the mean volume values of nucleoli, fibrillar centers and the RNP-part between some cell populations are sufficiently well pronounced. Within the same population ring-shaped nucleoli have, as a rule, specific volume values of nucleoli, RNP and fibrillar centers. The comparison of quantitative data obtained on different cell types showed that the mean RNP-index values were the most stable parameter. The structural relation between fibrillar centers, intra- and perinucleolar chromatin and lacunar region is shown. The structural organization of intranucleolar chromatin and rRNA in the nucleolar body and in fibrillar centers is discussed. 相似文献

In fishes, like in amphibians, it is well established that variations in rRNA activity occur during oogenesis. Contrary to amphibians, however, little is known about the ultrastructural changes of the nucleolus during fish oogenesis. Evolution of the nucleolus has been followed during oogenesis in the teleost fish Barbus barbus (L.) using light and transmission electron microscopies. We show that the behaviour of the nucleolus during B. barbus oogenesis resembles that reported in amphibians but also presents several peculiarities. The most striking feature is the marked vacuolization of nucleoli occurs at the beginning of the growth during previtellogenesis. The results obtained by means of the in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-immunogold method for detecting DNA seem further to indicate that the chromatin cap becomes integrated into developing nucleoli during previtellogenesis and then segregate at the periphery of nucleoli at the end of glycoproteinic vitellogenesis. Our study also shows that the nucleoli of germ cells, like that of follicle cells, are devoid of fibrillar centre but comprise a fibrillar and a granular component whatever the oogenetic stage. Ultrastructural detection of DNA and nucleolar proteins (AgNOR proteins, fibrillarin, and pp135) supports further the view that the Barbus nucleolus is a bipartite structure. 相似文献

A further contribution on nucleoli of human lymphocytes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cultured human lymphocytes were investigated by means of light as well as electron microscopic procedures to provide more information on the structural organization of their nucleoli. The transformation of ring shaped nucleoli to nucleoli with less or more distinct nucleolonemata in PHA stimulated cells was characterized by a marked increase of granular RNP components in number indicating the activation of their production. This phenomenon seems to be related not only to the activation of the ribosomal RNA synthesis but also to its processing. The appearance of fibrillar RNP components in the central area of the ring shaped nucleoli apparently represents the first sign of the nucleolar RNA synthesis in these cells. The proportion of fibrillar and granular nucleolar RNP comonents in PHA inresponsive lymphocytes was similar to that in lymphocytes from patients with the usual type of lymphocytic leukemia. The intranucleolar chromatin areas appeared to be larger in PHA stimulated lymphocytes but the proportion of these areas to the nucleolar body did not show substantial difference as compared to the resting cells. 相似文献

Ultrastructural study of the relationships between the various nucleolar components in Ehrlich tumour and HEp-2 cell nucleoli after acetylation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the present study, we analysed the relationships between various nucleolar components in Ehrlich tumour and HEp-2 cells, using acetylation. Under these conditions, we found contacts between the condensed intranucleolar chromatin and the fibrillar centre, illustrating the continuity between the DNA present inside the fibrillar centre and that of condensed associated chromatin. We also found that although the dense fibrillar component is usually situated at the periphery of the fibrillar centre, it is sometimes found inside the centre. On the other hand, the layer of dense fibrils bordering the fibrillar centre is interrupted by nucleolar interstices. In addition, in HEp-2 cell nucleoli with a reticulated appearance, the numerous small fibrillar centres are bound together by strands of dense fibrillar component. These observations are discussed in terms of relationships between nucleolar ultrastructure and function(s). 相似文献

运用Bernhard染色方法研究了小麦根端分生组织细胞核仁在细胞周期中的变化。结果显示,间期核仁染色很深,能够区分出纤维中心(FC)、致密纤维组分(DFC)和颗粒组分(G),而染色质被漂白,在染色质间可以观察到细小的RNP颗粒。进入前期,在染色质的边缘有小的RNP颗粒分布。中期,染色体周边分布着类似于间期核仁的深染的大RNP颗粒,形成一个不完全连续的“鞘”状结构;在染色体内部看不到类似核仁的深染颗粒。到了后期时,仍可见RNP“鞘”状结构的存在。进入末期,这些RNP植物逐渐由“鞘”脱离,最后参与新核仁的形成。这些结果表明,核仁解体后的物质直接转移到了中期染色的表面,并形成不连续的表层,没有进入染色体的内部。 相似文献

The influence of He-Ne-laser irradiation (lambda = 632.8 nm) in dose 56 J/m2 on the ultrastructure of the nucleolus from human peripheral lymphocytes was studied electronmicroscopically. After 1 h irradiation a well-expressed reaction of the nucleolus was observed in 70% of the lymphocytes under examination. Changes consist in the appearance of a wrong-shaped fibrillar center or in its fragmentation, the increase of RNP-containing fibrillar and granular components, and also in expansion of vacuoli. In a number of irradiated lymphocytes nucleoli with several fibrillar centres and with a strand-like organization of RNP part were observed. The size of these nucleoli increases. Following the accepted functional interpretations the observed changes can be connected with the intensification of RNA metabolism including the synthesis, processing of pre-rRNA and preribosome transport from the nucleolus. Similar rearrangements of the nucleoli were revealed in parallel experiments with phytohemagglutinin-treated lymphocytes. They were observed 1 h after the stimulation of lymphocytes. Taking into account the absence of mitogenic action of He-Ne-laser irradiation on lymphocytes, the ultrastructural changes of nucleoli under the action of irradiation are considered as functional activation of rRNA synthesis in the Go-period. 相似文献

It has been shown that the morphofunctional alterations of nucleoli in KEPV cells induced by actinomycin D at 0,05 microgram/ml proceed in two steps. During the first 3 h of actinomycin D action a level of the RNA synthesis in nucleoli falls to 25% from the initial one. Simultaneously the following morphological alterations take place: condensation of the chromatin, infiltration of nucleoli, displacement to outlining regions, increase of the dimensions and reduction of number of fibrillar centres, gradual disappearance of compact fibrillar zone and appearance looplike granular structures. During the following 3-6 h of antibiotic action the RNA synthesis falls slightly, nucleoli dimensions decrease, fibrillar micronucleoli appear. 相似文献

Striking nucleolar lesions occur in cultured cells after exposure to supranormal temperatures. These lesions appear at 42°C and consist of a loss of the granular ribonucleoprotein (RNP) component and intranucleolar chromatin, and a disappearance of the nucleolar reticulum. The material remaining in the morphologically homogeneous nucleolus is a large amount of closely packed fibrillar RNP. The lesions remain identical as temperature increases to 45°C. These alterations are reversible when the cells are returned to 37°C and are associated with the reappearance of an exaggerated amount of intranucleolar chromatin and granular RNP. High-resolution radioautography indicates that after thermic shock nucleolar RNA synthesis is inhibited whereas extranucleolar sites are preserved: it also suggests that the granular RNP is reconverted to fibrillar RNP probably by simple unraveling. The results prove the existence of heat-sensitive cellular functions in the nucleolus which deal with the DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. The precise site of action is assumed to involve hydrogen bonds, resulting in configurational changes in nucleolar RNP and affecting the stability of the DNA molecule. The subsequent events in nucleolar RNA synthesis are discussed in light of the morphologic and biochemical effects of actinomycin D on the nucleolus. 相似文献

Ultrastructural changes in the nuclear DNP and RNP components of human NB cells induced by synchronous infection with H-1 parvovirus were studied using Bernhard's EDTA method of staining. Early events (12 h after infection) occurred in the nucleolus. Chromatin within the nucleolar fibrous centers condensed thereby converting the centers to vacuoles. DNP associated with the granular nucleolonema also contracted markedly, causing a disruption of this skein-like structure; it then migrated peripherally forming a heterochromatic cortex surrounding the granular nucleolar vestige. Subsequently (24–36 h after inoculation), condensation of extranucleolar chromatin took place concurrently with the accumulation of extensive amounts of interchromatin granules in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Conglomerates of perichromatin fibrils and interchromatin granules were frequently juxtapposed to the condensing chromatin. Large clumps of interchromatin granules were also closely associated with fragmenting nucleoli, and the apparent transformation of nucleolar granules into interchromatin granules was observed. Accumulation of H-1 protein on chromatin evidently fostered its condensation resulting in the pathology described. 相似文献

A correlated autoradiographic and biochemical study of RNA synthesis in the nucleoli of chinese hamster ovary cells has been made. Quantitative analysis of the labeling indicates that the fibrillar ribonucleoprotein (RNP) component is labeled faster than 80S RNP and 45S RNA molecules, but approaches simultaneously a steady-state 3H to 14C ratio or grains/mum2 after 30 min of [3H]uridine incorporation. On the other hand, the 55S RNP, the 36S + 32S RNA, and the granular RNP components have the same kinetic of labeling with [3H]uridine. These results suggest that the fibrillar and granular RNP components of the nucleolus are the ultrastructural substratum of, respectively, the 80S RNP (45S RNA) and 55S RNP (36S + 32S RNA). The possibility that precursors to 80S RNP exist also in the fibrillar region of the nucleolus is strongly suggested by the rapid labeling of the fibrils on the autoradiographs. 相似文献
