Thyroid slices were incubated with or without TSH for 2 or 5 h. Nuclei were then prepared, subjected to mild digestion with micrococcal nuclease, and centrifuged at 1200 X g. The amount of DNA in 1200 X g supernatants was increased by TSH at 5 h, but not at 2 h. In parallel studies, thyroid slices were incubated with 32Pi and labeling of acid-soluble nuclear proteins was examined. TSH-dependent increases in labeling of histones H1 and H3, and of the high mobility group protein HMG 14, were observed at 2 h; however, there were no apparent changes in TSH-dependent labeling between 2 and 5 h, in nuclease-sensitive or in bulk chromatin. These results suggest that the observed TSH-dependent changes in the micrococcal nuclease-sensitivity of thyroid nuclear chromatin were not induced directly by changes in the phosphorylation of the histones or HMG 14.
