    Notes: Abstract RNA synthesis in rat cerebral hemispheres at 1, 5, and 10 days of age and the relative contribution brought by neuronal and glial nuclei to RNA synthesis was investigated. The experiments were carried out both in vivo (by i.p. injection of [3H]uridine) and in vitro (either by incubation of tissue slices with [3H]uridine or by determination of RNA polymerase activities). The labeling of RNA decreases from 1 to 10 days of age both in vivo and in vitro; the decrease is of the same extent in neuronal and glial nuclei. RNA polymerase activity Mg2+-dependent does not change significantly from 1 to 10 days of age either in total, in neuronal, or in glial nuclei, whereas the Mn2+-dependent activity increases significantly over the same developmental period studied. The significance of RNA polymerase assay as an index of in vivo RNA synthesis is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of aging on in vivo DNA and RNA labeling and on RNA content in various brain regions of 4-, 12-, and 24-month-old rats were investigated. No difference in [methyl-14C]thymidine incorporation into DNA of cerebral cortex and cerebelllum during aging was observed. The ratio of RNA/DNA content significantly decreased from 4 to 24 months of age in cerebral cortex, cerebellum and striatum. RNA labeling decreased by 15% in cerebral cortex of 24-month-old animals while in the other brain areas examined (cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, brainstem, striatum) did not change during aging. In the cerebral cortex, the ratio of the specific radioactivity of microsomal RNA to that of nuclear RNA, determined by in vivo experiments, was not affected by the aging process. A significant decrease of total, poly(A)+ RNA and poly(A)- RNA content was observed in the same brain area of 24-month-old rats compared to 4-month-old ones. Moreover, densitometric and radioactivity patterns obtained by gel electrophoresis of labeled RNA after in vitro experiments (tissue slices of cerebral cortex) showed a different ribosomal RNA processing during aging. In vivo chronic treatment with CDP-choline was able to increase RNA labeling in corpus striatum of 24-month-old animals.

    Effect of hypothyroidism on the labeling of the various RNA species in developing rat brain (1985)

    Notes: Abstract The effect of hypothyroidism on the in vitro incorporation of [3H]uridine into different RNA species in tissue slices of rat cerebral hemispheres at 5, 10, 15, and 21 days of age has been investigated. Gel electrophoresis analysis of total, nuclear and microsomal RNA was also accomplished. The results obtained indicate that RNA labeling is differently influenced by hypothyroidism at the various ages examined. RNA labeling is not significantly affected at 5 days of age while at later ages and especially at 21 days it is higher in hypothyroid rats compared to the controls. Moreover distinct differences at the various ages in the transport of newly synthesized RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in the two groups of animals were found. These results are in agreement with the hypothesis that thyroid hormone deficiency causes a delay of the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation in developing rat brain.

    Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis and energy metabolism in primary rat glial cell cultures (1986)

    Notes: Abstract DNA synthesis in nuclei and mitochondria purified from serum-supplemented rat glial cell cultures at different days after plating was studied. Furthermore in mitochondria, some enzymatic activities related to energy transduction (citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase, total NADH-cytochromec reductase, cytochrome oxidase and glutamate dehydrogenase) were measured. For DNA labeling [methyl-3H]thymidine was added to the culture medium at different days after plating. During the culture times studied the specific activity of total, nuclear, and mitochondrial DNA decreased from 8 days in vitro (DIV) to 21 DIV and increased at 30 DIV. The specific activity of nuclear DNA was always higher than that of mitochondrial DNA. The specific activity of the above mentioned mitochondrial enzymes increased from 8 DIV up to 21 DIV and decreased at 30 DIV, suggesting a relationship between the energy metabolism and the differentiation of glial cells in culture.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of undernutrition on the activity of two key enzymes for DNA synthesis, namely DNA polymerase and thymidine kinase, in developing rat brain has been investigated. Both enzymatic activities in cerebral hemispheres and in brain stem are lower in undernourished animals than in controls at the 5th day after birth; succesively, from 5 to 30 days, they decrease in both groups of animals, however the decrease is less drastic in undernourished rats than in controls. At 30 days of age the specific activity of both enzymes is quite similar in the two groups of animals. In the cerebellum, DNA polymerase and thymidine kinase activities increase after 5 days of age showing a peak at around 9 days in controls and at about 13 days in undernourished animals, decreasing thereafter in both groups, although less drastically in undernourished animals, and reaching quite similar values at 30 days. The results obtained show that both enzymatic activities are impaired at 5 days and delayed thereafter, in agreement with the changes of DNA synthesis previously observed.
