Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Rat hepatoma cells grown intraperitoneally as an ascites tumour were analysed with respect to their contents of cytosolic glutathione transferases. In contrast with normal liver tissue, the hepatoma cells were dominated by the class Pi glutathione transferase 7-7. All the major hepatic enzyme forms were down-regulated to almost undetectable concentrations. Livers of rats bearing ascites-hepatoma cells expressed low, but significant, amounts of protein which, by electrophoretic and immunochemical properties, appeared identical with transferase 7-7. This enzyme is not detectable in normal hepatocytes. Treatment of rats with trans-stilbene oxide induced the expression of transferase 7-7 in the livers of normal rats as well as in hepatoma-cell-bearing animals. In addition, a 2-fold induction of transferase 7-7 was measured in the hepatoma ascites cells. No significant elevation of any other enzyme forms in the hepatoma cells was noted.
