In a population of cultured rat liver epithelial cells transformed by 11 brief treatments with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 9% of the cells stained intensely for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). We have isolated from this phenotypically heterogeneous tumorigenic cell population 11 GGT-positive and 7 GGT-negative clonal subpopulations (from single cells) and have analyzed the ploidy and selected biochemical, histochemical, and growth properties of the cells in these clonal sublines. As compared to the GGT-negative strains and normal diploid rat liver epithelial cells, cells of the GGT-positive strains are larger in size, have greater DNA content, proliferate more slowly in culture, and have higher specific activities of NADH diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase. The GGT-positive strains also show greater alteration and heterogeneity than do the GGT-negative strains in their ability to store glycogen and in their expression of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes. The results indicate that enzymatic changes commonly observed in "altered" hepatocytes in rat livers exposed to chemical carcinogens in vivo can also be produced in vitro in cultured hepatic epithelial cells by treatment with carcinogens. Moreover, treatment of a cell line with a chemical carcinogen generates a population of cells vastly heterogeneous in both their phenotypes and genotypes. Isolation of clonal subpopulations from the resulting cell line allows critical examination of the linkage and mechanistic relationship between tumorigenicity and many paratumorigenic phenotypes.
