Nucleolar ultrastructure in psoriatic skin lesions. 1981

J Karásek, and J Janula, and K Smetana

Keratinocytes in psoriatic skin lesions were studied to provide more information on the nucleolar ultrastructure in these cells. In contrast to normal keratinocytes, nucleoli in the keratinocytes of the uppermost layer of stratum granulosum (intermedium) of psoriatic lesions were characterized by the absence of the segregation of nucleolar components. In addition, the keratinocytes without keratohyalin of the uppermost layer of stratum intermedium of psoriatic lesions did not contain degranulated nucleoli. Such observations indicate an alteration of the maturation processes in the keratinocytes of the psoriatic skin lesions and the characteristic nucleolar changes apparently represent the morphological expression of the altered inhibition of the nucleolar (preribosomal) RNA synthesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D002466 Cell Nucleolus Within most types of eukaryotic CELL NUCLEUS, a distinct region, not delimited by a membrane, in which some species of rRNA (RNA, RIBOSOMAL) are synthesized and assembled into ribonucleoprotein subunits of ribosomes. In the nucleolus rRNA is transcribed from a nucleolar organizer, i.e., a group of tandemly repeated chromosomal genes which encode rRNA and which are transcribed by RNA polymerase I.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.

D012867 Skin The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment. It is composed of the DERMIS and the EPIDERMIS.
