Chromatographic pattern of DNA isolated from liver tissue during hepatoma development.
DNA was isolated from livers of the rats treated with DAB during various steps of hepatoma development. After histological examination the tumor tissue was separated from the normal liver tissue and used as the source of DNA. Chromatographic fractionation on DEAE and Ecteola celluloses shows characteristic patterns for DNA isolated at various steps of hepatoma development. The largest differences in hepatoma DNA as compared to normal liver DNA were demonstrated in the DNA fraction eluated with 2.0 M-NaCl and NH3, gradient 0.1--1.0 M (m. w. 2--9 x 10(6)), and an increase in the first DNA fraction (m. w. less than 1 x 10(6)) was observed. Differences in the chromatographic patterns are discussed in terms of direct DAB action on DNA.
