[DNA-endonucleolysis in cell nuclei of brain and liver in patients dying from hemorrhage and after resuscitation: general patterns and differences].
Specific features of Ca2+, Mg2+ dependent DNA endonucleolysis in the nuclei of the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and liver were investigated in mongrel anesthetized male and female dogs. The endonucleolysis was studied in different periods of long-term arterial hypotension and in postresuscitation period, with strain pUC 19 plasmids as substrate for determination of nuclear endonuclease activity. It was established that nuclear DNA-endonucleases coupled with chromatin activated earlier in brain cortical and hepatic neurons than in the hypothalamus. Changes in activity of the enzymes directly correlated with duration of CNS ischemia. Active endonucleolysis occurred in cerebral and hepatic nuclei even 3 months after the blood loss and resuscitation. Postresuscitation changes in Ca2+ and Mg2+ dependent endonucleases in cortical nuclei are phasic while in the liver their activity for three months did not differ much from that in the end of hypotension. The activity of nuclear endonucleases in the hypothalamus returned to normal after beginning of resuscitation and did not change later. The data obtained evidence for active involvement of apoptosis mechanisms in brain and liver cell degeneration in massive blood loss and in postresuscitation period including a late one.
