title: [Silver staining of the nucleoli of pig embryonic kidney cells during the hyperactivation and inhibition of the synthesis of nucleolar RNA by UV microirradiation].
abstract: Silver staining of the nucleoli in pig embryo kidney cells (PK) was studied during the cell cycle and also upon mature nucleoli modifications induced by UV microirradiation. During anaphase only four silver-stained granules were revealed in each daughter set of chromosomes in the four nucleolus-organizing regions (NORs). In the following 1-2 hours, the number of granules in the NORs rapidly increased up to 25-30 per nucleus. During the next 20-25 hours of the cell cycle, the number of silver-stained granules was slowly doubling as the nucleoli grew in size. UV microirradiation of one nucleolus in the nucleus with two nucleoli induced a profound degradation of the injured nucleolus and a compensatory hypertrophy of the intact one. Such nucleolar modifications were accompanied by redistribution of the silver-stained granules between the injured and non-injured nucleoli and by alterations in the levels of nucleolar RNA synthesis in the NORs. These data support a hypothesis that silver-stained proteins may be involved in the regulation of the nucleolar activity.
