    Abstract:
    It was shown that rRNA and HnRNA synthesis in rat liver nuclei does not change-within 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of acetylcholine (0.005 mg per 100 g of body weight) but decreases after injection of norepinephrine and epinephrine (0.05 mg per 100 g of body weight). The synthesis of rRNA (but not of HnRNA) increases after injection of hydrocortisone (2,5 mg per 100 g of body weight). The synthesis of HnRNA (but not of rRNA) increases after injection of ACTH1-24 (3 ME per 100 g of body weight) and oxytocin (1 ME per 100 g of body weight). The synthesis of rRNA decreases after injection of propranolol and atropine (0.5 mg per 100 g of body weight). At the same time, the synthesis of HnRNA does not change thereby. The inhibitory effect of propranolol and atropine was corrected by electrostimulation of hypothalamus. The content of cAMP and Ca2+ and the phosphorylation degree of nuclear proteins are increased after stimulation of hypothalamus. The phosphorylation of nuclear proteins is increased by 10(-8)-10(-6) M cAMP. The synthesis of RNA in liver nuclei is increased by 10(-6) M cAMP only after addition of cytosol. In this case the activity of RNA-polymerase II increases in a greater degree than that of RNA-polymerase I + III. It is assumed that the regulatory mechanisms of rRNA and HnRNA synthesis are different. The role of hypothalamus electrostimulation, neurotransmitters, hormones, and cAMP in the mechanisms of RNA synthesis in rat liver nuclei is discussed.
