%0 Journal Article %T HIGH LEVEL OF GST-P mRNA IN ISLAND TYPE OF RAT ASCITES HEPATOMA CELL LINES %A M. Saadat %A D.D. Farhud %J Iranian Journal of Public Health %D 1999 %I Tehran University of Medical Sciences %X Several cell lines (18) of poorly differentiated rat ascites hepatomas which grown intraperitoneally were analyzed with respect to their mRNA levels of GST-P and albumin. The expression of albumin was dramatically decreased and became undetectable in all of the examined hepatomas compared with normal rat liver. The GST-P mRNA level in the hepatomas was correlated with their ability for formation of cellular islands in ascites. The island types, expressed GST-P at high level and the free type ones showed very low level of GST-P mRNA. %K GST-P %K Albumin %K Ascites hepatoma %K mRNA %U http://journals.tums.ac.ir/PdfMed.aspx?pdf_med=/upload_files/pdf/808.pdf&manuscript_id=808
