Nuclear pore complexes in cells of the developing mouse cerebral cortex.

The nuclear pore complexes of cells of the superficial layers of the cerebral cortex of mice were studied by freeze-etch technique. The nuclear membrane was found to be randomly penetrated by typical octagonal pore complexes in all age groups studied. The density of pores (per micron2) amounted to 7.8, 14.0, 17.0, 18.1 and 14.1 on the 18th to 20th embryonic and the 8th, 15th, 50th and 180th postnatal day respectively. The total number of pores per nucleus increases 5.2 times from the 18th to 20th prenatal to the 15th postnatal day and then decreases toward the 180th postnatal day (1257, 6582 and 3385 pores per nucleus respectively). The density of pores in cells of brain cortex, found in young adult mice is relatively high, if compared with other cell types.

Nuclear pole complexes in cells of developing mouse cerebral cortex.

The nuclear pore complexes of cells of the superficial layers of the cerebral cortex of mice were studied by freezeetch technique from the 18--20th embryonic to 180th postnatal day. The nuclear membrane was found to be randomly penetrated by pore complexes in all age groups studied. The pores have a typical octagonal shape. The density of pores (per/um2) amounted to 7.8, 14.0, 17.0, 18.1 and 14.1 on 18--20th embryonic and 8th, 15th, 50th and 180th postnatal day respectively. The total number of pores per nucleus amounted to 1257, 6582, 5405 and 3384 on the 18--20th embryonic and the 15th, 50th and 180th postnatal day respectively. Thus the total number of pores per nucleus increases 5.2 times from the 18th--20th prenatal to the 15th postnatal day and than slightly decreases toward the 180th postnatal day. The density of pore complexes in adult brain cell nuclei is therefore very high in comparison with other normal somatic and cancer cells.

A freeze-etch study of occurrence of nuclear pores in normal and tumor cells.

A freeze-etch study of nuclear pores performed on human lymphocytes, epidermal and corneal cells, on hamster fibroblasts, on rat and hamster sarcoma cells and cells from a human malignant melanoma, revealed that the frequency of pores as a part of very important biological cellular structures increases in proliferating cells, and that there is a statistically significand difference between normal and tumor cells. Once produced the pores maintain and their frequency practically does not change. The pores are randomly distributed on the nuclear envelope. Markham rotating method revealed an octa- or nonaedric outside shape of the pores and round inner margin with eight or nine granules. One bigger granule was found in the center of the pores. The granule is with a great probability filamentously attached to the margin of the pore. Fibrillar structures running to the pores on inner surface of nuclear envelope as far as the chemical composition of granules need special cytochemical examinations.
