  • Title: The action of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene on the synthesis of ribosomal and poly (A)-RNA in normal and regenerating liver.
    Author: Glazer RI.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1977 Apr 04; 475(3):492-500. PubMed ID: 856275.
    Abstract:
    Polyribosomal RNA prepared from normal and regenerating liver was chromatographed on poly(U)-Sepharose to obtain rRNA and poly(A)-RNA. Under the conditions employed for labeling the RNA with [5-3H]orotic acid, poly (A)-RNA from regenerating liver represented 1--3% of the total RNA content, and 14--18% of the total radioactivity in polyribosomal RNA at varying times after partial hepatectomy. The specific activity of poly (A)-RNA was elevated by 50% and 30% only at 2 h and 6 h after partial hepatectomy, respectively. Ribosomal RNA synthesis increased 2.5--4 fold at 2--20 h after operation. Treatment of normal or partially hepatectomized rats with N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene showed a differential dose-dependent effect on rRNA and poly (A)-RNA synthesis with rRNA synthesis being more sensitive to the inhibitory effect of the carcinogen. No change in the poly(A) content was apparent as a result of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene treatment.
