Periodic Induction of Deoxyribonuclease Activity in Relation to the Mitotic Cycle
نویسنده
چکیده
The behavior of developing anthers has been studied with respect to deoxyribonuclease. This enzyme, in contrast to related hydrolytic ones, is sharply periodic in its activity. Whenever a pool of deoxyribosides appears in situ, it is preceded by the appearance of deoxyribonuclease. The duration of pool or enzyme does not exceed and is generally less than 12 hours, even though the life span of the cells concerned is of the order of 25 to 30 days. The significance of periodic enzyme induction is discussed in relation to cell morphogenesis.

Induction of premature chromosome condensation (PCC) by calyculin A for biodosimetry
Background: Premature chromosome condensation (PCC) is a method for interphase chromosome analysis in biodosimetry. This study was performed to verify the usefulness of PCC induced by calyculin A in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) for biological dosimetry and possible construction of dose-response curve. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood was obtained from a healthy donor and expo...
متن کاملDifference in histological subtypes of basal cell carcinoma according to age, gender, location, mitotic activity and association with solar keratoses
Background and aim: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in white-skin populations. Recent studies suggest that BCC is not a single entity and different histological subtypes show different clinical behavior and might have different etiology. The aim of this study was to assess differences in age, sex, site of distribution and proliferative activity in histological subtypes...

Background: The mechanism of para-nonylphenol (PNP) reducing the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is not known. The present study was designed to investigate the mechanism. Methods: MSCs were extracted under sterile condition from Wistar rat and cultured in DMEM, containing 15 % FBS and penicillin/streptomycin until the 3rd passage, then cells we...
متن کاملApplication of citrate as a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate, prevents diabetic-induced heart damages in mice
Objective(s):Higher cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels is important in reducing cellular energy charge (EC) by increasing the levels of key metabolic protein, and nitrosative modifications, and have been shown to damage the cardiac tissue of diabetic mice. However, the relation between energy production and heart function is unclear. Materials and Methods:Streptozotocin (STZ, 150 mg...
متن کاملP-64: Germinal Cells Intracytoplasmic Carbohydrate,Lipid and Lipase levels Alter in Longtime Varicocele-Induced Rats
Background: Despite several studies many questions remain regarding how varicocele develops its adverse effect on testicular tissue. Spermatogenesis cell lineage needs carbohydrates as a main source of energy for cell division. Any disruption in glucose transporting system in seminiferous tubules results in remarkable decrease in germinal cells biological function. Therefore present study was c...
