Aldolase A, B, and C were determined in rat liver and serum by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in order to evaluate the alteration of these isozymes in the process of hepatocarcinogenesis induced by 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-Me-DAB), and the immunohistochemical technique was also used for the analysis of localization of aldolase isozymes. Aldolase A was increased in cancer tissues of 3'-Me-DAB induced hepatoma, whereas aldolase B was decreased in the same tissues according to both RIA and the immunohistochemical technique. During the promotion stage of hepatocarcinogenesis, the cells in hyperplastic nodules, which are known as preneoplastic lesions, were stained for aldolase A. Aldolase C was slightly increased in cancer tissues by RIA, suggesting the increase of A-C hybrid like A3C which was demonstrated by the electrophoretic method. Serum aldolase A levels were not significantly elevated in rats with liver cancer in comparison to rats with non-cancer.

The marmoset, a small non-human primate, has rarely been used in toxicological studies. A short-term toxicity study was performed on common marmosets (BW = 330 +/- 32 g). Fifteen male marmosets received oral administration of DAB at a dose level of 56 mg/kg/day and 4 control animals received corn oil alone for a period of 15 days. Hematological, biochemical, histopathological and bone marrow examinations were carried out on the 5th, 10th and 15th day of treatment. Body weight decreased continuously and two animals died on day 10. Decreases in RBC, Hb and Ht and increases in MCV and WBC were observed. Uric acid and glucose were increased and AlP and LAP were decreased. Aldolase, GOT and GPT were increased by day 10, and thereafter recovery of aldolase to the control level and decreases of GOT and GPT were observed. Relative organ weights of the liver, kidney, spleen and adrenal were increased. Histologically, C-cell hyperplasia of the thyroid and slight changes of the liver were noted. Marrow total cell counts were not changed, but the G/E ratio was reduced. Thus, macrocytic anemia, an increase of marrow erythroblasts due to anemia and changes of biochemical parameters indicating liver injury were observed in marmosets; these findings were similar to those in rats in the previous experiments.
