In the liver of rats fed the azocarcinogen 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'MeDAB) reiterated RNA sequence transcribed from middle repetitive DNA are released into the cytoplasm. The same repetitive nucleotide sequences can be isolated from the chromatin of the liver of control animals in the form of metabolically highly active, 13 000 daltons RNA. This small, chromatin-associated RNA originates from nuclear RNA larger than 10 S. The discontinuation of the feeding of the azocarcinogen will not stop the release of the nuclear reiterated RNA sequences into the cytoplasm. The repetitive sequences of nuclear RNA which are released into the cytoplasm in animals fed the azocarcinogen can no longer be found in the chromatin in the form of small RNA molecules. The results can be explained by the assumption that the reiterated RNA sequences are involved in the upholding of RNA processing. A cell-specific processing of RNA will be maintained by the interaction of reiterated RNA fragments from already processed RNA with the reiterated complementary sequences on RNA yet to be processed. Existence of such a feed-back circuit would make it possible to explain how a temporary interference of the azocarcinogen with RNA processing will result in the disappearance of specific reiterated RNA sequences from the chromatin. It could also explain the continuation of the release of the same repeated RNA sequences into the cytoplasm as part of larger RNA molecules even after the removal of the carcinogen.
