Total and polyadenylylated RNA have been isolated from two Morris hepatomas with different degree of differentiation and from the normal liver of the corresponding tumor-bearing inbred rats. The analysis of mRNA has been performed by Northern hybridization using32P-dA-tailed synthetic deoxyoligonucleotide probes, 33-mer for Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 36-mer for CuZnSOD, derived from the nucleotide sequences of the rat enzyme cDNAs. Two distinct mRNA species (about 850 and 1080 nucleotides) have been identified by using the MnSOD probe. CuZnSOD is translated from a single message of about 720 nucleotides. The total MnSOD mRNA concentration is decreased by 43% and 57% in the hepatomas 9618A (highly differentiated) and 3924A (poorly differentiated), respectively. CuZnSOD mRNA is practically unchanged in the hepatoma 9618A whereas it is reduced by 80% in the hepatoma 3924A. Comparison of the enzyme activities and mRNA levels indicates a good correlation only for hepatoma 3924A, suggesting that the changes of both SODs are regulated pretranslationally. From the data obtained it is also inferred that the mRNA levels of MnSOD respond more readily than those of CuZnSOD to changes in differentiation.
