The content of cytosolic superoxide dismutase has been determined in Morris hepatomas 3924A (fast-growing) and 44 (slow-growing) and in ascites tumour cells (Novikoff hepatoma and Ehrlich-Lettré). The enzyme is decreased in all the tumours examined. The lowest amounts were found in the tumours with the fastest growth rates. Measurements of the lipid composition and fluidity of microsomal membranes isolated from Morris hepatomas show that also these parameters are changed in relation to the growth rate. The lipid to protein ratio and the degree of fatty acid unsaturation decrease gradually from rat liver to hepatoma 44 and 3924A microsomes. The different lipid composition is reflected also by differences in the physical environment of the bilayer, as indicated by data obtained with spin-labeled fatty acids. It is proposed that the changes in the membrane lipid composition and organization are consequent to the decrease in the protective effect of cytosolic superoxide dismutase against the O2- induced lipid peroxidation.
