[Phenotypic changes in acetylation in tumor patients]

L N Bulovskaia, N N Blinov, N N Simonov

    Voprosy Onkologii
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    N-acetyltransferase activity and acetylation patterns are altered in cancer patients. Tumor progression correlates with increased N-acetyltransferase activity, while surgical interventions and metastasis show varied effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacogenetics
    • Oncology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Investigating the role of N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity in cancer patients.
    • Examining acetylation phenotypes in individuals with lung and gastrointestinal cancers.
    • Comparing cancer patients with a control group of 72 individuals.

    Purpose:

    • To determine N-acetyltransferase activity and acetylation types in cancer patients.
    • To analyze the correlation between acetylation status and cancer progression.
    • To assess the impact of surgical interventions and tumor spread on N-acetyltransferase activity.

    Summary:

    • Altered distribution of slow and fast N-acetyltransferase (NAT) acetylators observed in cancer patients.
    • Increased NAT activity noted with greater tumor spread.
    • NAT activity decreased after radical surgery but increased with palliative procedures, recurrences, or metastases.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the pharmacogenetic basis of cancer.
    • Suggests potential biomarkers for tumor progression and treatment response.
    • Highlights the dynamic nature of N-acetyltransferase activity in the context of cancer management.
