Changes of nucleolar organizer region in HL-60 cells after treated with retinoic acid (RA) were studied with techniques of silver-staining nucleolar organizer region (Ag-NOR) in metaphase karyotypes, Brachet's reaction and with our improved TEM techniques for studying silver-stained active nucleolar organizer region (Ag-aNOR) in interphase nucleoli. Number of Ag-NOR in HL-60 cells is 4.5/cell on average. The Ag-NOR number of cells treated with RA showed no remarkable difference from that of control group. Ag-aNOR number treated with RA was reduced obviously as compared with that of control group. Meanwhile, the changes of nucleolus number showed by Brachet's reaction were in accordance with those of Ag-aNOR. Therefore, it may be concluded: (1). Though the number of active rRNA genes did not changed after the differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by RA, their expression was clearly inhibited: (2). The relationship between the changes of Brachet-No and Ag-aNOR is in positive correlation (r = 0.98, p less than 0.01). EM examination of Ag-aNOR of HL-60 cells reveals that Ag-protein (RNA polymerase I) only presented in fibrillar centers (FC) and the dense fibrillar components (DFC) of nucleolus. In addition, in control group, large amount of Ag-protein, FC, DFC and granular components (GC) were observed, and there were many large nucleoli in a nucleus, meanwhile, the cells of the treated group tended to be mature, with a decrease in the amount of Ag-protein, FC, DFC and GC accordingly, and the nucleoli reduced both in size and number significantly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
