[beta-glucuronidase activity in human tumors of the lung and of the mammary gland (author's transl)]. 1977

H G Lippmann, and W Krüger, and G Elsner, and H Wolff

The intratumoral activity of beta-Glucuronidase (total and free) was determined in surgical specimens of malignant tumors of the lung (N equal to 20) and of the breast (N equal to 15) from patients. A free beta-Glucuronidase-activity from about 90 mU per g tissue was found but there was no difference between both tumor types, and the beta-Glucuronidase-activity, as it seems, is not dependent on histological characteristics of the tumors. The findings are discussed under the view of the key function of the lysosomal enzymes in the concept of the "Cancer-Multistep-Therapy" by M. von Ardenne.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.
