Smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum of two Morris hepatomas, the slow growing 9618A and the fast growing 3924A, have been isolated, and their biochemical composition, supramolecular organization, and response to the action of peroxidative agents have been studied. Cytochrome P content and lipid availability are the limiting factors of their peroxidizability. The hemoprotein content is reduced about 80% in hepatoma 9618A and is virtually absent in hepatoma 3924A. The peroxidizability decreases with increasing growth rate of the tumor. The protein, phospholipid, and cholesterol content, the fatty acid composition as well as the double bond index, and the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid content are reported. Differences have been found between normal liver and tumors and between the fractions within a given tumoral tissue. The molecular order, as determined by fluorescence anisotrophy decay of DPH, increases in total microsomes and in the smooth fraction going from liver 9618A to 3924A, whereas for the rough fraction it is the same in liver and hepatoma 9618A; in 3924A it increases of about 30%. Fluidity decreases in total microsomes going from liver to 3924A, to 9618A. In both the purified fractions it decreases with increasing deviation of the tumor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
