[Status of the DNA-RNA-protein synthesizing system in neurons of the sensomotor cortex of the brain of the 30-day-old rat].
By means of the electron cytochemical method ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, condensed chromatin (CCh) and ribosomes of cytoplasm are describe in normo- and hyperchromic neurons (HChN) of the V and VI layers of the sensomotor cortex. The normochromic neurons are characterized by nearly a complete absence of CCh, a great number of fibrillar RNP particles. The ribosomes of cytoplasma are organized as polysomes. This demonstrates a high metabolic activity of the DNA-RNA-protein system in these cells. In nuclei of one HChN group numerous small CCh clumps are revealed, amount of RNP particles does not change noticeably, comparing the nuclei of the normochromic cells. In cytoplasm a partial dissociation of polysomes takes place. All this demonstrates a decreased RNA synthesis in the nucleus and protein in cytoplasm of the given cells. In another HChN group the nucleus is filled with large CCh clumps. The number of fibrillar RNP particles decreases noticeably, and the number of granular ones increases. A complete dissociation of polysomes occurs. This demonstrates that in the cells mentioned not only RNA and protein synthesis is decreased, but the processing and nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of RNA is disturbed. The presence of transitional forms between the neuronal forms described makes it possible to suppose certain cyclicity in the work of their plastic apparatus, the normo- and hyperchromic neurons being morphologic equivalents of certain phases of the cycle.
