[Features of purine compound metabolism in hepatoma 22, mouse liver and erythrocytes during tumor development].

During development of transmitted solid hepatoma 22 pools of purine metabolites were studied as well as the rate of 3H-hypoxanthine and inosine incorporation was measured in acid soluble fraction of liver tissue and erythrocytes of mice C3HA as well as of the tumor tissue. Specific alterations in metabolism of adenine and guanine nucleotides and of their derivatives were detected at various steps of the hepatoma development in the tissues studied. Specific interaction of the hepatoma cells with host tissues appears to be realized via the pool of purine nucleotides.
