The folates present in liver, gut and tumour tissue were examined before and after autolysis. Before autolysis 10-formylfolate tetraglutamate (10-CHOFA(glu)4), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate triglutamate (5-CH3THF(glu)3) and possibly tetrahydrofolate polyglutamate(s) (THF(glu)n) were detected. Liver contained all 3 species whereas no 5-CH3THF(glu)3 was present in the tumours; gut showed an intermediate situation. After autolysis the predominant monoglutamates formed were 5-CH3THF in the liver, 10-formylfolates in the gut and possibly tetrahydrofolate (THF) in the tumour extracts. These differences illustrate changes in tissue folates with the proliferation rate of the tissue and suggest an explanation for the methionine auxotrophy of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells.
对肝脏、肠道和肿瘤组织中的叶酸在自溶前后进行了检测。自溶前检测到了10-甲酰基叶酸四谷氨酸(10-CHOFA(glu)4)、5-甲基四氢叶酸三谷氨酸(5-CH3THF(glu)3)以及可能的四氢叶酸多谷氨酸(THF(glu)n)。肝脏中含有所有这三种物质,而肿瘤组织中不存在5-CH3THF(glu)3;肠道呈现出中间状态。自溶后,肝脏中形成的主要单谷氨酸是5-CH3THF,肠道中是10-甲酰基叶酸,肿瘤提取物中可能是四氢叶酸(THF)。这些差异说明了组织叶酸随组织增殖率的变化,并为沃克256癌肉瘤细胞的甲硫氨酸营养缺陷提供了一种解释。
