Mitosis of the rat anterior pituitary cells was studied with the electron microscope. Most mitotic cells found in the anterior pituitary contained a number of secretory granules, and a somatotrophic cell in metaphase contained a Golgi apparatus with newly formed secretory granules. Hypertrophied thyrotrophic cells after thyroidectomy underwent mitosis. Some prolactin-producing cells in mitosis contained a great number of vacuolated cisterns of rough endoplasmic reticulum, which were the characteristic results of long term administration of estrogen to female rats. Hypertrophy of the anterior pituitary glands after removal of a target organ or the administration of estrogen may be brought about by the proliferation of cells of a specific type corresponding to the experiment. This proliferation carried out by mitotic cell division of fully differentiated adenohypophyseal cells. The theory that highly differentiated cells producing specific hormone cannot synthesize DNA and divide by mitosis was shown to be erroneous.The outer layer of a kinetochore was bent by the pulling force of chromosomal spindle tubules. As the inner layer was not bent in this case, it became clear that the spindle tubules do not penetrate through the kinetochore, and the contraction of chromosomal tubules is believed to exert the force for the initial movement of anaphase chromosomes.
