Biomarkers for individual susceptibility to carcinogenic agents: excretion and carcinogenic risk of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In rats exposed to a single intraperitoneal dose of 200 mg/kg of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BP) in sunflower oil, significant individual variations in excretion of the BP activation (BP-7,8-diol) and deactivation (3-OH-BP) derivatives were found. Most rats developed peritoneal sarcomas. Only the levels of BP-7,8-diol excreted in the urine correlated directly with the latency of tumor formation. After a similar exposure to a dose of 100 mg/kg BP, Macaca fascicularis monkeys excreted smaller quantities than rats of both metabolites. After rats were given 10 intraperitoneal injections each of 10 mg/kg of BP in a water-lipid emulsion, the excreted levels of both metabolites after the first, fifth, and tenth injection were lower than those of the rats that received 200 mg/kg. BP metabolites were also detected in the urine of lung cancer patients who were heavy smokers. The applicability of monitoring the excretion of the BP metabolites to predicting individual cancer risk is discussed.

polynuclear Aromatic Bydromrbons As criteria for the presence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco smoke, the list of J. W. Cook (m) has been widely accepted by tobacco chemists. The Surgeon General’s 1964 Report and Cook’s paper are in agreement with respect to the presence of benzo(a)pyrene (3 : 4benzopyrene) , dibenz (a,h) -anthracene (12 : 5,6-dibenzanthrac) : benzo(c) phenanthre...

Within 4 hr after administration of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) by p.o. intubation, marked changes in the microsomab metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) occur. Liver microsomes isolated from female A/HeJ mice under these conditions show a depression of BP metabolism by more than 16%. The effects on individual metabolites as determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography differ. Relative inc...

Benzo(e)pyrene (BeP) is a cocarcinogen with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and an anticarcinogen with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) in mouse skin initiation-promotion assays (Slaga, T.J., Jecker, L., Bracken, W.M. and Weeks C.E. Cancer Lett. 7: 51-59, 1979). We have investigated the effects of BeP on the metabolic activation of BaP and DMBA in early-passage cultures of Syrian hamster embryo cells...
