Cells of sarcoma 180 and of Ehrlich's carcinoma were maintained by serial transplantation in male and female Swiss mice. Either estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone were injected im at doses of 1 mg/mouse. Ascitic fluid was aspirated at intervals of 1, 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours following hormone injections. Enzyme activities were analyzed by subjective grading according to the intensity of staining reaction. Estrogen produced enhancement of alkaline phosphatase activity in both types of cells in both sexes of mice. Progesterone produced increased alkaline phosphatase activity in both types of cells from female hosts but an inhibitory effect in male hosts' cells. Testosterone produced no change in enzyme activity in tumor cells of female hosts but in male hosts it inhibited enzyme activity of sarcoma 180 cells and activated activity in carcinoma cells. The effect of all 3 hormones on acid phosphatase activity was activation. With adenosine triphosphatase, estrogen stimulated the activity in both types of tumor in both sexes. Progesterone stimulated cells from male hosts with little or no effect on cells from female hosts. This enzyme was resistant to testosterone. Succinate dehydrogenase activity under similar conditions was different. Estrogen reduced this activity and progesterone produced some inhibition of activity. Testosterone inhibited the sarcoma cells but had no effect on carcinoma cells of either sex. Others have shown that sex hormones affect the enzyme activities beyond the target tissues, particularly in the liver, kidney, and pancreas. Different responses of the enzymes seemed to depend on the endogenous hormonal status of the mice.

Changes in the activity of membrane bound ATPase of Sarcoma 180 cells caused by immunoglobulin G (IgG) of anti-Sarcoma 180 was investigated in relation to the incorporation of amino acid by the cells. Enzymatic activity of ATPase was increased up to 160% of the original activity upon incubation of the cell with IgG. Kinetic studies showed that IgG did not change the affinity of this enzyme for the substrate, but exerted influence upon catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. The rate of incorporation of leucine into Sarcoma 180 cells was also affected by IgG, as observed in the effect of IgG on the enzymatic reaction of the cells.

Limitless numbers of various genetic structures have been formed in chromosomes and plasmids and numerous bioactive compounds are produced by microorganisms. Therefore, it may be said that compounds useful in treatment of cancer will be found more and more in microbial secondary metabolites and more effective antitumor antibiotics and their derivatives, or more effective products producing immune resistance to cancer, will be discovered. In these studies, as discussed in this paper, the most urgent problem is to establish a rational screening principle or system to select compounds worth clinical examination. This is particularly important in the analog area. Bleomycin is an analog of phleomycin chosen because of lower renal toxicity. It has become an antitumor agent of significant value. Macromycin is a new structure which has been found to bind with animal cells and inhibit growth. Neothramycin is a new benzodiazepine antibiotic which has lower toxicity than other structures studied in this class and is active against L1210, Yoshida sarcoma, and Sarcoma 180. Aclacinomycin A is an analog of adriamycin chosen for clinical study based on its low cardiac toxicity and high distribution in mouse lung and spleen. Coriolins are another new structural class. Diketocoriolin B has activity in L1210 leukemia and has been shown to inhibit Na-K-ATPase. Bestatin is a compound which inhibits aminopeptidase B and leucine aminopeptidase has been shown to increase delayed hypersensitivity. Bestatin also increases the effects of other antitumor agents such as adriamycin, and bleomycin.

The influence of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone on the activities of alkaline and acid phosphatases, adenosine triphosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase were determined by cytochemical methods in sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich's carcinoma cells transplanted in male and female Swiss mice. The results revealed differential effects of the sex hormones on different enzymes which seemed to depend on the type of tumour cell studied and the sex of the host mice.

1. Ruthenium Red-insensitive Ca2+ transport in the mouse ascites sarcoma 180/TG is enriched in a 'heavy' microsomal fraction (microsomes) sedimented at 35 000 g for 20 min. The subcellular distribution of this Ca2+ transport differed from that of Ruthenium Red-sensitive Ca2+ transport and (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase activity, but was similar to that of glucose 6-phosphatase. 2. The affinity of this transport system for 'free' Ca2+ is high (Km approx. 6 microM) and that for MgATP somewhat lower (Km approx. 100 microM). Ca2+ transport by the tumour microsomes, by contrast with that by liver microsomes, was greatly stimulated by low concentrations of P1. 3. Although incubation of intact ascites cells with glucagon led to an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP, no stable increase in the initial rate of Ca2+ transport in the subsequently isolated 'heavy' microsomes could be detected as in similar experiments carried out previously with rat liver cells. Reconstitution experiments suggest that a deficiency exists in the tumour microsomal membrane such that an action of glucagon that is normally present in rat liver microsomes is not evoked.

ATPase was localized in distinct regions of the mitotic apparatus of HeLa and Sarcoma 180 tissue culture cells. ATPase was demonstrated in the metaphase spindle of HeLa and Sarcoma 180 cells fixed in cold buffered 2 per cent formalin (pH 6.5 to 6.8) containing 2 x 10(-3)M CaCl(2). A high concentration of ATPase was frequently observed at the poles of the spindle. ATPase was also demonstrated in the interzonal region of both cell types during anaphase. The narrowing of the band of ATPase activity localized in the interzonal region during telophase indicates that ATPase activity is associated with the central spindle. In polar views of Sarcoma 180 cells fixed in cold, unbuffered, 2 per cent formalin, ATPase was frequently localized in granules in the region of the inner circumference of the ring of chromosomes formed at metaphase. ATPase in the mitotic apparatus of HeLa and Sarcoma 180 cells was shown not to be due to non-specific alkaline phosphatase. Mitotic apparatus ATPase in Sarcoma 180 cells was suppressed by an -SH inhibitor.
