Rat thyroid lobes incubated with mannose-3H, galactose-3H, or leucine-3H, were studied by radioautography. With leucine-3H and mannose-3H, the grain reaction observed in the light microscope is distributed diffusely over the cells at 5 min, with no reaction over the colloid. Later, the grains are concentrated towards the apex, and colloid reactions begin to appear by 2 hr. With galactose-3H, the reaction at 5 min is again restricted to the cells but it consists of clumped grains next to the nucleus. Soon after, grains are concentrated at the cell apex and colloid reactions appear in some follicles as early as 30 min. Puromycin almost totally inhibits incorporation of leucine-3H and mannose-3H, but has no detectable effect on galactose-3H incorporation during the 1st hr. Quantitation of electron microscope radioautographs shows that mannose-3H label localizes initially in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and by 1–2 hr much of this reaction is transferred to the Golgi apparatus. At 3 hr and subsequently, significant reactions are present over apical vesicles and colloid, while the Golgi reaction declines. Label associated with galactose-3H localizes initially in the Golgi apparatus and rapidly transfers to the apical vesicles, and then to the colloid. These findings indicate that mannose incorporation into thyroglobulin precursors occurs within the rough endoplasmic reticulum; these precursors then migrate to the Golgi apparatus, where galactose incorporation takes place. The glycoprotein thus formed migrates via the apical vesicles to the colloid. 相似文献

The basic kinetics and the pattern of incorporation of H3-thymidine was studied in the leaf lamina of Xanthium pennsylvanicum. A method of foliar absorption was used to incorporate the radioisotope into leaf nuclei. The autoradiographic techniques employed provided data on the amount of the isotope incorporated. It was determined that 10 μc/ml (sp. act. 6.7 c/mmole) of H3-thymidine with 1–8 hr of isotopic growth and 4 hr of postisotopic growth gave the most satisfactory results. The percent of labelled nuclei and the number of grains per nucleus were presented as functions of isotopic and postisotopic growth periods. Distribution of grains in the nuclei approximated the Poisson distribution at 1 hr of isotopic growth. Increased time of isotopic growth changed the pattern of grain distribution. No deleterious effects were observed using an 8-hr period of isotopic growth, but prolonged incubation time significantly decreased the proportion of mitotic figures in the lamina. The amount of incorporation of the DNA precursor expressed as percent of labelled nuclei was linear to about 16 hr of isotopic growth and thereafter decreased gradually. As indicated by the average number of grains per nucleus, H3-thymidine incorporation increased to about 16 hr, and soon after reached a saturation level. The percent of labelled nuclei and the number of grains per nucleus decreased as a function of the postisotopic growth period. However, they were significantly greater in the lamina near the vein than in the lamina region at some distance from the vein. The radioactive precursor was initially absorbed by the cells of the lamina and was subsequently translocated into the vascular system. There it was circulated and made available to the dividing cells near veins of the lamina. This region may be a metabolically distinct part of the lamina with significantly higher rates of incorporation and mitotic turnover. 相似文献

An autoradiographic study was made of the 3H-uridine incorporation into RNA and DNA in nucleus and cytoplasm of parenchymal cells in the regenerating liver of the mouse after a pulse time of 2 hr. After a decreased uptake of precursor into the parenchymal nucleus during the first 6 hr compared with the normal value, incorporation increased and was maximal at 36 hr; normal values were restored at 72 hr. The cytoplasmic labelling, after an initial small decrease, reached a maximum at 12 hr; this changed to normal 48 hr after hepatectomy. RNase-digestion of the liver sections left a small incorporation in both nucleus and cytoplasm: presumably DNA. This incorporation is maximal at 12 hr over the nucleus and at 24 hr over the cytoplasm. After a 2 hr pulse of 3H-thymidine, there was a marked uptake of the precursor into DNA about 24 hr after hepatectomy. This was maximal at 48 hr and reached normal values at 72 hr. A small amount of incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA was seen immediately after the operation, and this population of weakly labelled nuclei was still rather large 72 hr later. 相似文献

Significant differences in the uptake of thymidine-3H, percentage of labeled cells, numbers of grains per labeled nucleus, and mitotic rate were noted in rat corneal epithelium along a 24-hr time scale. These were demonstrated by injecting subgroups of five animals every hour during a 24-hr period with thymidine-3H, sacrificing them 2 hr later, and analyzing the corneal epithelium by scintillation counter and radioautographic techniques. The increase in uptake during specific periods of the 24-hr time scale is attributed to an acceleration in the rate of DNA synthesis by individual cells and to an increase in the percentage of cells in the population actively synthesizing DNA. 相似文献

The timing of DNA replication of heterochromatin in malePlagiochila ovalifolia was investigated by the use of3H-thymidine autoradiography. The estimated duration of the mitotic cycle was as follows: S period, 19 hr: G2+prophase, 10 hr; G1+meta-, ana-, telophase, 5 hr; total mitotic cycle, 34 hr. The first appearance of silver grains over the chromosomes was
observed at 8 hr after the beginning of pulse labelling at which time the silver grains were only over the euchromatic regions,
not over the heterochromatic regions. This labelling pattern was also observed at 10 to 15 hr. The heterochromatic regions
having more grains than the euchromatic regions were observed at 20 to 25 hr. These results show that the DNA of the heterochromatin
of this species is replicated earlier than the euchromatin. 相似文献

AN AUTORADIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF RNA SYNTHESIS DURING POLLEN EMBRYOGENESIS IN HYOSCYAMUS NIGER (HENBANE)
V. Raghavan 《American journal of botany》1979,66(7):784-795
RNA synthesis during pollen embryogenesis in cultured anther segments of Hyoscyamus niger (henbane) has been followed by autoradiography of 3H-uridine incorporation. Embryogenic divisions were initiated in binucleate pollen grains in which the generative nucleus or both generative and vegetative nuclei synthesized RNA. When the first haploid mitosis in culture resulted in pollen grains with two nearly identical nuclei, those in which both nuclei synthesized RNA became embryogenic. Binucleate pollen grains in which 3H-uridine incorporation was confined exclusively to the vegetative nucleus gradually became starch-filled and nonembryogenic. Based on the degree of involvement of the vegetative nucleus in embryoid formation, some differences were noted between the counts of autoradiographic silver grains over cells cut off by the generative and vegetative nuclei during progressive embryogenesis. The possible significance of RNA synthesis in the nuclei of binucleate pollen grains in determining the pathway of embryogenic divisions is discussed. 相似文献

Synthesis of RNA in neurons of the hypoglossal nerve nucleus after axonal section was studied by means of [5-3H]uridine administration and radioautographic counting techniques in mice. The results of the experiments were evaluated by counts of silver grains over the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm of the neurons. RNA synthesis was greater in neurons after axonal section, and this increase was evident from 12 hr after the operation. The greatest increases in the operated side were observed in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days after operation. In the 7th and 14th days RNA synthesis was still greater in the hypoglossal nucleus of the sectioned nerve but the difference in the control nucleus was not so striking. In the 30th day synthesis of RNA in left and right hypoglossal nuclei was comparable. 相似文献

We have been successful in labeling to high specific activity (3 × 105 dpm/μg) the RNA synthesized by large numbers of Drosophila embryos. Embryos of various developmental stages were rendered permeable with octane and labeled with [3H]uridine for 1 hr. At each stage the total dpm incorporated into RNA and the specific activity of the UTP pool were measured and used to calculate the absolute rate of RNA synthesis per embryo. This rate increases during embryonic development, from 1 pmole UTP/hr at 2 hr after oviposition to 6 pmoles UTP/hr at 15 hr. The rates of synthesis of nuclear and cytoplasmic poly(A)? and poly(A)+ RNAs were determined by analyzing the fractionated RNAs from each stage by sucrose gradient sedimentation. There is a significant activation of nuclear RNA synthesis at the blastoderm stage (approximately 2 hr after oviposition). After blastoderm, the rates of synthesis of nuclear and cytoplasmic poly(A)? and poly(A)+ RNA per embryo increase continuously; the rate of synthesis of each of these classes per nucleus, however, remains fairly constant. After making corrections for turnover during the labeling period, we find that the rates of synthesis of the major classes of RNA per nucleus at the gastrula stage are: cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNA, 0.06 fg/nucleus-min; hnRNA, 0.86 fg/nucleus-min; and ribosomal RNA, 0.46 fg/nucleus-min. These rates are compared to rates of RNA synthesis in sea urchin embryos. 相似文献

The incorporation of fucose-3H in rat thyroid follicles was studied by radioautography in the light and electron microscopes to determine the site of fucose incorporation into the carbohydrate side chains of thyroglobulin, and to follow the migration of thyroglobulin once it had been labeled with fucose-3H. Radioautographs were examined quantitatively in vivo at several times after injection of fucose-3H into rats, and in vitro following pulse-labeling of thyroid lobes in medium containing fucose-3H. At 3–5 min following fucose-3H administration in vivo, 85% of the silver grains were localized over the Golgi apparatus of thyroid follicular cells. By 20 min, silver grains appeared over apical vesicles, and by 1 hr over the colloid. At 4 hr, nearly all of the silver grains had migrated out of the cells into the colloid. Analysis of the changes in concentration of label with time showed that radioactivity over the Golgi apparatus increased for about 20 min and then decreased, while that over apical vesicles increased to reach a maximum at 35 min. Later, the concentration of label over the apical vesicles decreased, while that over the colloid increased. Similar results were obtained in vitro. It is concluded that fucose, which is located at the end of some of the carbohydrate side chains, is incorporated into thyroglobulin within the Golgi apparatus of thyroid follicular cells, thereby indicating that some of these side chains are completed there. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis demonstrates that apical vesicles are the secretion granules which transport thyroglobulin from the Golgi apparatus to the apex of the cell and release it into the colloid. 相似文献

Summary The pattern of RNA synthesis during maturation and germination of pollen grains ofHyoscyamus niger was studied using3H-uridine autoradiography. Incorporation of label during pollen maturation was periodic with peak RNA synthesis occurring in the uninucleate, nonvacuolate pollen grains and in the vegetative cell of the bicellular pollen grains. During the early stages of germination, isotope incorporation occurred predominantly in the nucleus of the vegetative cell with little or no incorporation in the generative cell. With the appearance of the pollen tube, incorporation of3H-uridine in the vegetative cell nucleus decreased and completely disappeared at later stages of germination. No incorporation of isotope was observed in the sperms formed in the pollen tube by the division of the generative cell. From a comparison of the results of this study with those of previous works on RNA synthesis during pollen embryogenesis in cultured anthers ofH. niger, it is concluded that in contrast to embryogenic development, there is no requirement for sustained RNA synthesis by the generative cell nucleus for normal gametophytic development. 相似文献

To estimate the duration of oocyte DNA synthesis 36, 3-day-old female rabbits received 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, or 18 injections of tritiated thymidine (thy-3H) at hourly intervals. The ovaries, removed at 1, 10, or 20 days after the first injection, were radioautographed. Counts made of the number of silver grains associated with oocyte nuclei in meiotic Prophase I indicate that the duration of DNA synthesis is between 9 and 12 hr. To determine the length of the stages of meiotic Prophase I, a group of 2-3-day-old rabbits was given a single sub-cutaneous injection of thy-3H, and the ovaries were removed at hourly and/or daily intervals after treatment. The minimum duration of leptotene was 3 hr and the maximum duration probably was less than 8 hr. The maximum durations of zygotene, pachytene, and diplotene were estimated to be 44, 216, and 96 hr, respectively. The interval from the end of oogonial DNA synthesis to the beginning ofpremeiotic DNA synthesis (G2 + Mitosis + G1) appeared to be less than 6 hr. 相似文献

Adult mice were pulse labeled with tritiated thymidine [3H]TdR and killed 9 hr later. A low level incorporation of [3H]TdR into the nuclear DNA of Purkinje neurons was found in autoradiographs. Enzymatic digestions with DNase and with RNase in combination with autoradiographic grain counts indicate that a portion of nuclear DNA is not stable in the Purkinje nucleus. These results are discussed in light of reports of the stable nature of DNA in Purkinje neurons of adult mice. 相似文献

The incorporation of 3H-thymidine into nuclear DNA of leaf cells of Nanthium pennsylvanicum was studied as a function of concentration and specific activity of the radioisotope. From the assessment of the average number of grains per nucleus and the percent of labeled nuclei, it was concluded that the incorporation was a linear function of concentration of the exogenous radioisotopic solution and a logarithmic function of the incubation time. Ten microcuries per milliliter on the average yielded 20% of labeled nuclei with 18 grains per nucleus. Seven-fold increase in concentration only doubled the amount of 3H-thymidine incorporated. The lamina regions near the vein incorporated a significantly greater amount of the radioisotope than the lamina region at some distance from the vein. The specific activities of 2, 3.35, 6.7 and 15.3 c/mmole had no effect upon the amount of 3H-thymidine incorporated, if the amount of microcuries of the incubation solution was the same in each activity. Considering the total number of molecules, the estimated rates of incorporation indicated that at the activity of 2 c/mmole, the system operated with about 7 times higher rates as compared with the activity of 15.3 c/mmole. 相似文献

A new method for the analysis of electron microscope autoradiographs is described which has two advantages over other methods. This method provides estimates for the activity in different regions of the section and takes into account the actual geometrical shape and position of different regions within the section. Use is made of the measured distribution of grains about a thin line source to construct a hypothetical distribution of autoradiographic grains which is then compared with the actual distribution of grains. Different activities are then ascribed to various regions until a satisfactory agreement with the autoradiographic grains is obtained using the χ2 significance. In the next paper, an example of the use of this method is given for the distribution of grains in the nucleus of erythroid bone marrow cells labeled with radioactive iron, 55Fe. 相似文献

Glycogen synthesis was investigated by giving tritium (H3)-labeled glucose with carrier to fasted rats in vivo or incubating liver slices from fasted rats in vitro using a glucose-H3-containing medium. After 15 min or 1 hr, pieces of liver were fixed and radioautographed for light and electron microscopy. In vivo and in vitro, radioautographic reactions appeared over "glycogen areas" and over zones transitional between these areas and ergastoplasm. Treatment of sections by alpha amylase removed all but about 5% of the radioactivity, so that about 95% of it consisted of glycogen (synthesized during the 15 min or 1 hr elapsing after administration of glucose-H3). Within glycogen areas and transitional zones, most silver grains were over or very close to glycogen granules and smooth (or partly smooth) vesicles. Presumably, much of the label was added onto growing glycogen granules, in accord with the biochemical view that glycogen may serve as substrate for further glycogen synthesis. The few silver grains located far from glycogen granules—15% at the 15 min interval in vivo—approximated smooth (or partly smooth) vesicles of endoplasmic reticulum. This observation raised the possibility that smooth membranes play a role in glucose uptake at an early stage in de novo formation of glycogen granules. 相似文献

Summary The localization in the mouse brain of corticosterone, the natural glucocorticoid in the mouse, and cortexolone, reported to be a glucocorticoid antagonist, was studied by autoradiography 30 min after in vivo administration of the tritiated compounds.After 3H-corticosterone (3HB) injection, radioactivity was preferentially concentrated in cell nuclei of several structures within the limbic system, and in nuclei of certain neurones of the cerebral cortex and medulla oblongata. This nuclear concentration was abolished after injection of 3H-corticosterone with an excess of unlabelled corticosterone. After 3H-cortexolone (3HS) injection, a diffuse radioactivity was observed throughout the brain. However, a higher concentration of grains was present in the ventral nucleus arcuatus and in the infundibulum. When excess unlabelled cortexolone was administered with 3H-cortexolone this preferential accumulation of grains was abolished.The accumulation of 3H-cortexolone in the medial basal hypothalamic region suggests that cortexolone concentrates preferentially in dexamethasone (DM) target regions, and in addition the autoradiographic results show that the cortexolone-receptor complex does not accumulate in the cell nucleus.
Résumé La localisation au niveau du cerveau de souris de la corticostérone, qui est le glucocorticoide naturel chez la souris, et de la cortexolone, démontrée comme étant un antagoniste des glucocorticoides, est étudiée par autoradiographie 30 min après injection in vivo des composés tritiés.Après injection de 3H-corticosterone (3HB), la radioactivité se concentre préférentiellement dans des noyaux cellulaires de plusieurs structures du système limbique et dans les noyaux de certains neurones du cortex cérébral et du bulbe rachidien. Cette concentration nucléaire est abolie après injection de 3H-corticostérone en présence d'un excès de corticostérone non radioactive. Après injection de 3H-cortexolone (3HS), une distribution diffuse de la radioactivité est observée dans tout le cerveau, cependant, une concentration plus élevée de grains d'argent est présente dans la partie ventrale du nucleus arcuatus et dans l'infundibulum. Après injection de 3H-cortexolone en présence d'un excès de cortexolone non radioactive, cette accumulation préférentielle des grains est abolie.L'accumulation de la 3H-cortexolone dans la région hypothalamique suggère que la cortexolone se concentre préférentiellement dans la région cérébrale qui contient les sites de liaison de la dexaméthasone et de plus, les résultats autoradiographiques montrent que le complexe cortexolone-récepteur ne s'accumule pas dans le noyau cellulaire.相似文献

Summary Fucose-3H was injected into the cerebral ventricle of rats that were killed at several time intervals after injection. Semi-thin sections of the supraoptic nucleus and neurohypophysis were processed for radioautography and analysed quantitatively. Silver grains indicating the site of fucose-labeled glycoproteins were first located at the perinuclear region of the secretory neurons. The highest silver-grain density in these cells was observed at 2 h after injection, declining afterwards. Silver grains over the neurohypophysis were observed from 2 h on, reached a peak at 1 day after injection and decreased in the subsequent time intervals. The distributions of the silver grains over the neurohypophysis fitted Poissonian distributions and these were shown to be heterogeneous at the several time intervals. Pituicytes were not labeled. The percentage of silver grains over the Herring bodies increased with time. In rats deprived of water after fucose-3H injection there was a great increase in the release of labeled glycoproteins from the neurohypophysis. These results indicate that the glycoproteins synthesized by the secretory neurons of the hypothalamic nuclei are secreted in the neurohypophysis. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Using uridine-5-H3, “long-term” labeling experiments over a 72 hr growth cycle were done with E. histolytica strain K9 grown in CLG medium with penicillin-inhibited Bacteroides. Autoradiographic analysis revealed that tritium occurs primarily in cytoplasm and rarely the nucleus of amebae. The most extensive cytoplasmic activity was observed during the initial 0–24 hr growth period of amebae as compared to later labeling periods. RNase or RNase followed by DNase extracted a large amount but not all label from amebae. These nucleases were least effective during the initial 24 hr period of growth. Thus it appears that tritium from uridine-5-H3 is not highly specific for RNA in amebae. However, the possibility that such label is associated with RNase-resistant RNA cannot be ruled out. More recent cytochemical studies do indicate the presence of RNase-resistant RNA in the cytoplasm of amebae. The activity found in penicillin-inhibited Bacteroides after uridine-5-H3 labeling and their reaction to the various digestive procedures was similar to amebae at corresponding labeling periods. Therefore at least some of the RNase-resistant material present in the cytoplasm of amebae may be derived from the ingested bacteria; this has been further found by appropriate experiments in which amebae were fed prelabeled bacteria. Nuclear activity when observed (always after 24 hrs growth) was associated either with the periphery of the nucleus and/or the endosome. It was not seen in the nuclear stroma. Some of this activity is RNase-resistant, perhaps representing double or multi-stranded RNA. It therefore appears that RNA is not distributed in the nuclear stroma in “long-term” labeling experiments. 相似文献

RNA synthesis in the cells of the apical meristem of Sinapis alba during transition from the vegetative to the reproductive condition 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Summary Vegetative plants of Sinapis alba, a long-day species, were induced to flower by exposure to a single 20-hr long day. RNA synthesis in the apical meristem of vegetative (control) and induced plants was investigated by using 3H-uridine and autoradiography of sections.Light-microscope autoradiographs showed a sharp increase in total RNA synthesis per cell in induced meristems. This increase occurred as early as 18 hr after the start of the long day, i.e. at the presumed time of the arrival of the floral stimulus at the meristem. At the same time, electron-microscope autoradiographs showed that there were changes in the pattern of RNA synthesis in the meristematic cells. The ratio of the number of grains in the nucleus to that in the cytoplasm slightly decreased and the ratio of the number of grains in the chromatin to that in the nucleolus greatly increased.Experiments with 2-thiouracil (2-TU), a pyrimidine analogue which was shown to inhibit RNA synthesis in Sinapis, indicated that this compound was most inhibitory to floral induction between the 12th and the 20th hour after the start of the long day, i.e. at the same time as important quantitative and qualitative changes in RNA synthesis were detected in induced meristems by autoradiographic methods. It was thus assumed that 2-TU inhibits floral induction via its effect on these (or on one of these) changes. 相似文献
