Abstract

Since it is known that tumor cell membranes have lost the capacity to undergo lipid peroxidation, it seemed of interest to investigate whether the toss of susceptibility to lipid peroxidation represents a tumoral marker appearing in preneoplastic cells together with the other known tumoral markers. A histochemical technique was developed to detect lipid peroxidation in individual cells of liver sections exposed to effective prooxidants. The technique was based on the detection of protein-bound aldehydes (alkenals) with the use of the Schiff's reagent. The latter reagent can also detect carbonyl function present in acyl residues of peroxidized phospholipids of cellular membranes. Liver preneoplastic foci were obtained in rats by the i.p. administration of diethyinitrosamine and of 2-acetylaminofluorene in the diet. Frozen sections of the liver, incubated in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate: iron revealed the presence of areas in which lipid peroxidation had not been induced (Schiff-negative areas). These areas corresponded strictly, in serial sections, to areas that were strongly positive to γ-glutamyltranspeptidase. © 1984, American Association for Cancer Research. All rights reserved.
