When two lobes of the liver of the adult rat are removed, the cells of the remaining lobe are aroused to renewed cell division. We have studied the early events in such regeneration. The first observable response to such partial hepatectomy is the production in the liver nuclei of rapidly-labeled high-molecular-weight RNA of sequences not produced by normal liver. This is followed, with a lag of about 1 hr, by the appearance of increased (above normal) amounts of chromosomal RNA, again of sequences not produced by normal liver. With a lag of another hour, the template activity in support of RNA synthesis of the liver chromatin increases substantially. These events occur before initiation of DNA synthesis in the cells of the regenerating liver.
当成年大鼠的肝脏两个叶被切除时,剩余叶的细胞被激发重新进行细胞分裂。我们研究了这种再生过程中的早期事件。对这种部分肝切除术的第一个可观察到的反应是在肝细胞核中产生快速标记的高分子量RNA,其序列是正常肝脏所不产生的。大约1小时后,出现了(高于正常水平)数量增加的染色体RNA,同样其序列也是正常肝脏所不产生的。再过1小时,支持肝染色质RNA合成的模板活性大幅增加。这些事件发生在再生肝脏细胞中DNA合成开始之前。
