[Low-molecular RNA in different rat liver and liver tumor cell fractions]

Low molecular weight nuclear RNAs (LMWN RNAs) from rat liver, Zajdela hepatoma and rat hepatoma induced by DENA have been studied. The changes in the relative content of nucleoplasmic U1 and U2 RNAs, nucleolus U3 RNA and chromatine 5S RNA have been discovered in both hepatomas. Whereas 8S1 and U3 RNA were found in polysomes from rat liver but not in those from Zajdela hepatoma.
