Biphasic character of dexamethasone action on the lymphoid tissue is observed in the tissue culture of partially purified peripheral blood lymphocytes. Stimulation of the RNA synthesis occurred after 6-hour incubation of lymphocytes with the hormone. Sedimentation analysis of labeled RNA, fractionated in a column containing poly-U sepharose pointed to increase in the quantity of the messenger RNA and enrichment of the cytoplasmic RNA with poly-A sequences. At the same time the Mn++-dependable RNA polymerase sensitive to alpha-amanitin was activated. Inhibition of the RNA synthesis is observed after 24-hour cultivation of lymphocytes with the hormone. Biphasic effect of the steroid is also seen in the reaction of rosetteformation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008345 Manganese A trace element with atomic symbol Mn, atomic number 25, and atomic weight 54.94. It is concentrated in cell mitochondria, mostly in the pituitary gland, liver, pancreas, kidney, and bone, influences the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides, stimulates hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, and is a cofactor in many enzymes, including arginase and alkaline phosphatase in the liver. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1992, p2035)
D011061 Poly A A group of adenine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each adenine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Adenine Polynucleotides,Polyadenylic Acids,Poly(rA),Polynucleotides, Adenine

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.

D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
