Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of sonically prepared submitochondrial particles of rat liver and Morris Hepatoma 3924A were compared as a function of changes in temperature. On Arrhenius plots, a discontinuity at 18 degrees was observed for the rat liver mitochondrial ATPase, while the hepatoma mitochondrial ATPase revealed a discontinuity at 20.4 degrees. Values for energy of activation of the rat liver and hepatoma mitochondrial ATPases were comparable below the break (34.5 and 35.5 kcal/mole, respectively) and above the break (11.6 and 9.2 kcal/mole, respectively). Solubilization of the mitochondrial membrances with Triton X-100 resulted in constant and similar values of energy of activation for the ATPases Km values of hepatoma and rat liver mitochondrial ATPases for adenosine triphosphate were similar in both the membrane-bound and solubilized states. The lack of uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity in hepatoma mitochondria is apparently not due to membranous effects on the affinity of the ATPase for adenosine triphosphate.

The specific activity and the content of ATPase in mitochondria of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma were compared. The specific activity of ATPase in sonicated mitochondria and in mitochondrial membrane fraction of rat liver was almost two times higher than the specific activity in the corresponding fraction of Zajdela hepatoma. Accordingly, the autovertin binding capacity of rat liver mitochondrial membrane fraction as well as the yield of F1-ATPase from this fraction were about two times higher than those of the mitochondrial membrane fraction of Zajdela hepatoma. The results show that mitochondria of Zajdela Hapatoma possess about half amount of ATPase present in rat liver mitochondria.

Hydrolysis of extramitochondrial ATP by coupled Zajdela hepatoma mitochondria is not stimulated by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. The results of the present study show that the hydrolysis of intramitochondrial ATP in these mitochondria is stimulated by DNP and CCCP. It is proposed that the uncoupler insensitivity of ATPase in coupled Zajdela hepatoma mitochondria with exogenous ATP as a substrate result from an altered functional relationship between ATPase and ADP, ATP translocase.

Histochemical investigation shows that ATPase activity is located intensively on the surface of cell contacts in hepatoma cells grown in confluent monolayer culture. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP and theophylline-treated hepatoma cells which exhibit contact-inhibited growth show the absence of localization of intense ATPase activity at cell-cell contacts. However, after removal of these additives the activity fully recovers to the intense level of control cells, when the release of cells from contact inhibition of growth occurs. Cultured hepatic parenchymal cells in monolayer have little or no ATPase activity at their surface immediately after contacts are established, and again after growth to a confluent state. In a different type of hepatoma cell which is less malignant and forms a small tissue mass or island, cell surface ATPase activity at cell-cell contacts in an island is very weak or scarcely detected even when cells are not treated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP and theophylline.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a C19 adrenal steroid hormone, induces peroxisome proliferation in liver cells and is hepatocarcinogenic in the rat. The present study deals with the phenotypic properties of DHEA-induced liver lesions. A majority of the altered areas (80-87%), neoplastic nodules (> 94%) and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC, 80-100%) lacked the marker enzymes gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and placental form of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP). Northern blot analysis of HCC from 4 rats revealed no detectable GSTP mRNA. These HCC, however, showed a marked decrease in the staining of glucose-6-phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase. These results indicate that the phenotypic properties of liver tumors induced by DHEA and amphipathic carboxylate peroxisome proliferators are similar.

We have found a substantial decrease in the level of Na,K-ATPase beta 2-subunit mRNA in xenografts of human renal, lung hepatocellular carcinomas in nude mice as compared with corresponding normal tissues, as well as in the neuroblastoma cell line as compared with the neuron primary cell culture. The level of beta 1 mRNA is decreased in kidney and lung tumor cells, but is unchanged in hepatocellular carcinoma. In the neuroblastoma cell line the level of beta 1 subunit mRNA was found to be higher then in neuron primary cell culture. The level of alpha 1 mRNA in investigated tumors was the same as in normal tissues. These results may give evidence of the involvement of beta 2-subunit in the process of tumorigenesis as was shown for some other adhesion molecules.

The incidence and phenotype of preneoplastic and neoplastic liver lesions appearing in LEC rats after recovery from severe hereditary hepatitis were studied in comparison with the liver lesions appearing in chemical liver carcinogenesis. The livers of 168 rats (90 male, 78 female) were stained for seven histochemical markers at different time periods from the 20th week to the 122nd week of life. Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and non-specific esterase (ES) were used as negative markers. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), glutathione S-transferase placental form (GSTP), esterase isozyme L-1 (L1) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were used as positive markers. The study on the incidence of liver lesions in the LEC rats revealed sequential development of liver foci, nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) similar to those seen in chemically induced liver carcinogenesis. These lesions appeared earlier and more frequently in male LEC rats than in female ones, suggesting the importance of hormonal environment in spontaneous HCC development. The histochemical analysis of spontaneous liver lesions in LEC rats showed that GSTP was the most reliable positive marker as previously reported in chemical liver carcinogenesis. There was no essential difference in the expression of the markers in spontaneous and chemically induced liver lesions except for L1, which is considered to be related to xenobiotic metabolism. The results of this study suggest that both spontaneous and chemically induced liver cancer may develop by passing through phenotypically similar preneoplastic processes. In addition, the LEC rat uniquely showed chronic liver damage (hepatocyte death and regeneration) at the promotion stage of carcinogenesis. Such a natural history of HCC development in LEC rats is similar to that of human HCC which is frequently associated with chronic liver damage. Thus, the LEC rat provides a useful model for studying the process and underlying mechanisms of human liver cancer development.

Numerous hepatic cell lineage pathways have been proposed for the development of hepatocarcinogensis induced by chemical carcinogens in rats. The roles of bile ductule cells and hepatocytes in the development of carcinogenesis were investigated using light and electron microscopic procedures to detect differences in morphology and in the phenotypic expression of antigens that are associated with each cell type. In early stages of hepatocarcinogenesis (4-10 weeks after initiation of feeding of a choline-deficient ethionine containing diet), both bile ductulelike (BDL) cells and hepatocytes were seen in mitosis. At the light microscope level, BDL cells showed intense cytoplasmic pyronin (RNA) staining and were positive for the antigens defined by monoclonal antibody 270.38 (bile ductule cells and "oval" cell marker) and glutathione-S-transferase (Yp isoform), whereas hepatocytes were positive for the antigens defined by monoclonal antibodies 270.26 and 258.26 (liver parenchymal cell markers), catalase activity (peroxisome marker) and adenosine triphospatase activity (bile canalicular marker). The authors frequently encountered BDL cells and hepatocytes in close proximity. Ultrastructural examination showed extensive plasma membrane appositions between a subset of BDL cells and hepatocytes. Desmosome structures, tight junctions, microvilli interdigitations and ATPase-positive bile canalicularlike structures were present along the contiguous plasma membrane domains of BDL cells and hepatocytes. Many of the BDL cells attached to hepatocytes were also attached to other BDL cells that had retained a basal lamina. In many cases, BDL cells connected to both hepatocytes and other BDL cells were no longer completely surrounded by basal lamina and had acquired a dual polarity as a consequence of their sharing apical and lateral membrane domains with both BDL cells and hepatocytes. BDL cells showed increased numbers of microperoxisomes (catalase positive organelles) and numerous free ribosomes. Hepatocytes showed a prominent development of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, a feature prominent in hepatocytes within hyperplastic nodules. Since BDL cells and hepatocytes proliferate and BDL cells and hepatocytes develop intercellular junction sites, the authors propose that both cell types in early stages of carcinogenesis have the capacity to enter the cell lineage pathway leading to the development of hepatocarcinoma. Furthermore, the finding that BDL cells and hepatocytes form multiple attachment sites at the level of the plasma membrane, suggests the possibility that at some stage convergence of separate hepatic cell pathways may occur.

Plasma membrane fractions from normal, regenerating liver and the AS-30D ascites hepatocarcinoma exhibited a high degree of enrichment when a set of plasma membrane enzyme markers were studied in comparison to the ones associated to the mitochondrial and cytosolic compartments. While the (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase observed for the plasma membrane fraction isolated from normal liver showed an activity of 1.2 mumoles/mg/min, the regenerating liver and the AS-30D plasma membrane fractions presented a much lower ATPase activity (0.3 and 0.22 mumoles/mg/min respectively). Despite the differences in ATPase activity observed between models, the plasma membrane fraction from the AS-30D hepatocarcinoma presented a calcium transport activity similar to the value observed for the normal system (5.9 and 5.5 nmoles Ca2+/mg/10 min, respectively). Interestingly, the ATP in equilibrium with Pi exchange experiments carried out with the different plasma membrane fractions revealed that the (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase contained in the plasma membrane from the AS-30D cells shows an exchange activity of 26 nmoles ATP in equilibrium with Pi/mg/min, similar to the one observed fo the enzyme from normal liver (30 nmoles ATP in equilibrium with Pi/mg/min). Our results suggest that the plasma membrane from the transformed model presents a more efficient mechanism to regulate the movement of calcium through the calcium pump, with an optimum expenditure of energy.

A decrease in the rate of ATP hydrolysis was observed after preincubation of intact mitochondria from hepatoma 22a with an uncoupler. This effect is due both to a decrease in the rate of ATP transport and to an inactivation of the F0F1-ATPase. The former effect is shown to result from an uncoupler-induced ADP efflux. In de-energized mitochondria from hepatoma (but not from mice liver), the concentration of adenine nucleotides in the matrix equilibrates with the medium concentration via a carboxyatractyloside (CATR)-insensitive transport system. CATR-insensitive accumulation of medium ADP and stoichiometric exchange of added ATP are observed in energized hepatoma mitochondria. The dependence of the uncoupler-induced inactivation of ATPase activity on delta mu H+, pH, and ATP is consistent with the effect being caused by the natural protein inhibitor (IF1) of F0F1. ATP- and pH-dependent inactivation of the enzyme is also observed after disruption of mitochondria with the detergent Lubrol-WX. Almost all F0F1 in hepatoma mitochondria have IF1 bound in a noninhibitory manner. In the presence of uncoupler, this complex converts, via a reversible pH-dependent and an irreversible ATP-dependent process, to an inhibitory complex. The pH-dependent step can be blocked by Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions which probably bind to negatively charged residues on IF1, thereby preventing their protonation and conversion of the protein to an inhibitory conformation.
