The influence of progressive tumor growth on phosphate-activated glutaminase (PAG) expression in splenocytes from mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells was investigated. Implantation of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in the peritoneal cavity of mice led to a 2.3-fold stimulation of spleen PAG activity 48 h later. Four days after tumor implantation the glutaminase activity had returned to nearly basal value and remained at this level throughout the tumor development. Northern blot analysis indicated that two species of glutaminase mRNA were expressed in the spleen, which showed a differential expression pattern during the first 2 days after tumor implantation. The abundance of the transcript of higher electrophoretic mobility (approximately 3 kb) constantly increased over the first 2 days of tumor growth. The mRNA of lower electrophoretic mobility (approximately 6 kb) peaked at 12 h after tumor implantation and returned to control values at 48 h. These results demonstrate that tumor has the capability of altering glutaminase expression in the host spleen.
