Development of murine HA-1 hepatoma was accompanied by increased activity cathepsin B (in ascitic cells), cathepsin D (in ascitic fluid) and increased activity of procathepsin B. There were some changes of cysteine proteinases in liver and spleen, not involved directly into tumor growth. The most prominent changes included the decreased level of cysteine proteinase inhibitors сystatin C and stefin A in ascitic cells (and to a lesser degree in liver tissue). During tumor development serum cystatin C concentration was decreased 3-times compared to intact mice. Treatment by antitumor drug Ukrain increased life span of mice with HA-1 hepatoma (transplanted intravenously), decreased the increment of tumor gain; in ascite the number of tumor cells decreased and number of macrophages increased. Ukrain (administered once or 5-times in a dose of 0.5 mg per mice) increased cystatin C level, revealing protective mechanism of action.
