Abstract

The hypothesis that in tumor-bearing animals an increase of host hepatic zinc metallothionein (Zn-MT) causes a restriction of zinc in the tumor tissue was studied. Three types of tumors were induced in laboratory mice by cell transplant. Tumor growth appears to be inhibited under zinc-deficient conditions, even in cases where zinc deficiency was started after tumor cell transplant. The survival times of tumor-bearing mice were prolonged by administration of cadmium chloride, which induces the synthesis of a combined zinc-cadmium metallothionein derivative in the host Liver, but not in the tumor tissue, leading to an increase of hepatic zinc in the treated animals. The uptake of Zn-65 by theliver of Cd-treated, tumor bearing mice was significantly higher thanthat of controls whereas uptake of Zn-65 by tumor cells was significantly higher in controls than in the treated animals. These results suggest that restriction of zinc intake suppresses tumor growth.
