Abstract: | After a single intraperitoneal injection of the hepatocarcinogen N-hydroxy-2-fluorenylacetamide (OH-FAA), numerous helical polysomes were found in the hepatocytic cytoplasm at 2 and 6 but not 24 h after treatment. Electron microscopy also demonstrated nucleolar segregation, disarray of endoplasmic reticuium (ER), and disaggregation of polyribosomes at the times when helical polysomes were present. Polyribosome disaggregation was confirmed and quantified by determining size distribution of polyribosomes at 2 h after OH-FAA treatment. Protein synthesis was inhibited at the time of helical polysome induction but the degree of inhibition did not noticeably alter the number of helical polysomes found electron microscopically. |
