Recent studies have demonstrated that transient (1 h) hepatic arterial ischaemia is followed by increased incorporation of labelled thymidine into tumour DNA 24 h later. The present study aimed at investigating if and when there is a corresponding increase in incorporation of labelled 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or orotic acid into tumour tissue. Incorporation was studied at 0, 6, 24 and 48 h after discontinuation of transient hepatic arterial ischaemia in Wistar-Furth rats having liver tumour. The transient ischaemia was followed by increased RNA and RNA/DNA ratios in normal liver but not in tumour. Incorporation of orotic acid into RNA and DNA was unchanged in tumour but increased at 0 and 6 h in normal liver. Incorporation of 5-FU decreased with time in liver and tumour DNA and in tumour RNA. It is suggested that 5-FU has an optimal effect on tumour tissue when infused immediately after transient hepatic arterial ischaemia.
