A knowledge of the biological characteristics of carcinogen-induced hyperplastic nodules of rat liver may be important in the understanding of cancer development. Although its biological role remains to be elucidated, the level of microsomal epoxide hydrase (epoxide hydrolase, EC 3.3.2.3) is 5- to 7-fold greater in hyperplastic nodules nodules induced by feeding the hepatocarcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene than in liver of control rats. After removal of the carcinogen from the diet, the high level of the enzyme is maintained in those nodules that persist and in the hepatocellular carcinomas that subsequently develop. The availability of antibody to the epoxide hydrase made it possible to use electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to localize this enzyme in the cells of hyperplastic nodules. The immunocytochemical procedure provides direct visual evidence for the presence of this enzyme in smooth endoplasmic reticulum and also in rough endoplasmic reticulum (including the nuclear envelope) of the nodule's parenchymal cells.
