Abstract: | The nuclear pore density and area were measured on freeze-fracturednuclei of ACI/N rat liver altered foci, adenomas and carcinomasinduced by 2-acetylaminofluorene, and compared with those ofnormal hepatocytes. The pore density of nuclei from these preneoplasticand neoplastic lesions was significantly higher than that ofhepatocytes, but there was no difference between lesions. Thearea of nuclear pores of the focus cells did not differ fromnormal hepatocytes, whereas the areas of pores of adenoma andcarcinoma cells were increased. Moreover, the nuclear pore areaof carcinomas was significantly greater than that of adenomas.These results suggest that some changes may occur in nuclearpores in the progress of tumorigenesis. |
