A permanent cell line (HLC-1) was established from the pleural effusion of a human lung adenocarcinoma. The cell line was characterized by the monolayered and multilayered organoid growth of epithelioid cells with the doubleing time of about 33 hr and the modal chromosome number of 68. Cloning efficiency was 17.9% in liquid medium and 8.3% in soft agar. The cell produced a large amount of epithelial mucin. Electron microscopic examination revealed many secretory granules and terminal bars. They formed spherical aggregates in a gyratory culture which showed adenocarcinoma-like tubular structures histologically. Enzyme-histolochemically, they showed the characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma cells except for a few enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase and ATPase. Heterotransplantation of the cells produced the tumor. These characteristics confirm that HLC-1 cell line is a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line.

Plasma membranes isolated from Yoshida ascites hepatoma AH-130 by a modification of the method of T.K. Ray (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 196:1, 1970), were subfractionated into three fractions having densities (d) 1.12, 1.14 and 1.16 by discontinuous sucrose density-gradient. Membrane subfractions were characterized by electron-microscopy, by assay of marker enzymes and by lipid composition. All subfractions appeared to be essentially free from whole mitochondria, lysosomes and nuclei. Subfraction d 1.16 had the highest 5'-nucleotidase, Mg++-ATPase and (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activities; cytochrome c oxidase was undetectable in any fraction and glucose-6-phosphatase was measurable only in fraction d 1.14 and 1.16. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was nearly equally distributed in the fractions. Adenylate cyclase, 5'-nucleotidase and Mg++-ATPase activities of tumor membrane were lower with respect to liver plasma membrane, while cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and (Na" +K+)-ATPase were found to have similar activities in the two membrane preparations. With respect to liver membrane, hepatoma membrane contained a higher amount of glycolipids and a higher amount of phospholipids accounted for mainly by sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid. The possible significance of the decrease of adenylate activity in the hepatoma membrane is briefly discussed.

Mitochondria isolated from normal liver, experimental hepatoma, and Krebs II ascites tumor tissues in mice were examined by isopycnic centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient (25--50%). Normal liver mitochondria were shown to be characterized by two visible zones, while those of tumors were distributed homogeneously. Such a distribution pattern was also confirmed by the investigation of marker enzyme activities (glucose-6-phosphatase and cytochromoxidase). A comparison of homologous tissues (hepatoma--liver) has evidenced that hepatoma mitochondria are "lighter" even than the "light" fraction of normal ones, that seems to evidence the disturbances in the biogenesis of these organelles. The results obtained are in a good agreement with the data reported by S. A. Neifakh on alterations in the structure of tumor mitochondrial membranes.

Six-week-old male Swiss mice were given 0.03% thioacetamide (TAA) in the diet 24, 72, and 168 hours after partial hepatectomy. TAA-treated mice from all three groups were killed when they were 4, 9, and 13 months old. Intact and partially hepatectomized animals on normal diets served as controls. None of the controls evidenced neoplasms at any age. All three experimental groups developed liver tumors earlier than did intact mice treated with the TAA diet. Progressive metabolic studies on the livers or tumor tissues of treated mice showed that the levels of glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, and glycogen decreased significantly in the 4-month-old treated group when there was no significant alteration in liver histology. These parameters were lowest in the tumor tissues of treated mice.

For the biochemical characterization of a new transplantable hepatoma derived from the MC-29 virus-induced liver tumor, the macromolecular content and the inducibility of glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase were compared in chicken liver and in this hepatoma. The alteration of the nucleocytoplasmic ratio was deduced from measurements of DNA, RNA, protein, and phospholipid contents of the whole cell homogenate and cell fractions. The increased nuclear and decreased cytoplasmic content of macromolecules suggests a dominancy of the nuclei in the tumor cells. Glucose-6-phosphatase and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activities were lower by 60 and 80%, respectively, in the highly proliferating hepatoma than in the liver. In contrast, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity increased in the hepatoma. However, enzyme inducers, such as methylcholanthrene, hydrocortisone, and insulin, were able to enhance the activity of these enzymes in the liver but had no stimulating effect on the hepatoma.

In older patients with glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency adenomatous nodules develop within the liver parenchyma. Investigation of eight such patients, age 3 to 28 years, using radioisotopic scans, has demonstrated areas of depressed isotope uptake in the liver in all except the one preteenaged child. Three patients were further studied with hepatic angiograms and liver biopsy specimens. A diffuse nodularity, more widespread than apparent on isotopic scans, was demonstrated on angiograms. Although initial histologic study in each case showed adenomatous tissue without evidence of neoplasm, the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in one of our patients and in others from the literature suggests that the nodules may be premalignant.

Six young adult male rhesus monkeys were given diethylnitrosamine ip for 3-5 years. Liver biospies were done monthly. After 6 months, biopsy specimens showed individual hepatocytes and small foci of hepatocytes that were intensely positive for glycogen. During the second and later years, larger foci of such cells developed. In sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin, the glycogen-containing hepatocytes generally appeared unusually clear. Some hepatocytes, however, had eosinophilic or basophilic cytoplasm. Nuclear enlargement and atypic developed, particularly outside the foci. The hepatocytes within most foci were uniform in their histochemical features: glycogen was elevated, glucose-6-phosphatase was decreased, and ATPase activity was present not only along the bile canalicular surface but also along the enire cell membrane. After 3-5 years, neoplastic nodules and hepatocarcinomas developed in 5 of 6 animals. Two nodules and particularly the heptocarcinomas differed from the foci in one of more histochemical parameters. The findings suggested that the glycogen-containing, histochemically altered cells of the foci in one or more histochemical parameters. The findings suggested that the glycogen-containing, histochemically altered cells of the foci may be the first step in the development of neoplasia; further steps toward malignancy appeared to be frequently associated with additional alterations, such as loss of sinusoidal ATPase and re-formation of glucose-6-phosphatase.

The standard lead precipitation method was used for ultracytochemical localization of glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) in the in vivo and in vitro forms of the Chang rat hepatoma and in the normal adult rat liver. Reaction product was visualized as very fine particulate within the cisternae of the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum. Cytochemically, the amount of the G-6-Pase reaction product in both forms of the tumor cells was obviously less than that in the normal hepatocytes. Apparently, the enzyme was not completely deleted from the hepatoma cells. The results supported some biochemical data of certain other hepatomas. The successful ultracytochemical localization of G-6-Pase in cultured hepatoma cells has not been reported previously.

A comparative study of glucose-6-phosphatase, alcaline RNase, ATPase, inosine diphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities in isolated rat liver and hepatoma-27 nuclei and nuclear envelopes was performed. The tumor nuclear membranes were shown to be free from G-6-Pase activity in contrast to the liver nuclear membranes. The nuclear RNase activity was strongly inhibited in the hepatoma and could be unmasked in the presence of 3-10(-4) M pCMB. Hepatoma nuclear and nuclear envelopes ATP-ase activity was found to be moderately decreased as compared to those of the normal tissue. The values of inosine diphosphatase activity in hepatoma were similar to those in liver. The role of the nuclear envelope in nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions as well as nuclear location of G-6-Pase are discussed.

The activity of hexokinase (HK), its isoenzymes, glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and the triiodothyronine (T3) effect on this activity in the liver tissue of mice bearing transplantable hepatoma 22a were studied in different periods of the tumor growtn. It was shown that alterations in the activity of the enzymes in the liver of tumor-bearing mice occurred already in the presence of a small tumor. More profound alterations in the activity of all enzymes studied, apart from those in the enzymatic pattern of HK, could be observed starting from day 21after the tumor transplantation. In the initial stages of the hepatoma growth the activity of the test enzymes in the liver was regulated by thyroid hormone. The effect of Ta on the activity of the enzymes in the host liver was gradually lost in the course of the tumor growth.
