چکیده

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed control diet or diet containing 0.05% nafenopin (NAF) or 0.025% WY-14,643 (WY) and male Syrian hamsters were fed control diet or diet containing 0.25% NAF or 0.025% WY for periods of 1, 15, 40, and 60 weeks. Both NAF and WY produced a sustained increase in liver weight and induction of peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation in the rat and Syrian hamster. Replicative DNA synthesis was studied by implanting osmotic pumps containing [3H] thymidine during weeks 0-1, 14-15, 39-40, and 59-60. Cell replication, determined either as the hepatocyte labelling index or by incorporation of radioactivity into liver whole homogenate DNA, was increased in rats given NAF and WY for 1 week. However, only WY produced a sustained increased in cell replication after 15-60 weeks. After 40 weeks, liver nodules and tumors were present in WY-treated rats, and these lesions were observed in all WY-treated and some NAF-treated rats after 60 weeks. In contrast to the rat, no marked effect on replicative DNA synthesis and no liver nodules and tumors were observed in Syrian hamsters given NAF and WY for up to 60 weeks. The rat study demonstrates that liver tumors are produced more rapidly by doses of peroxisome proliferators that produce a sustained stimulation of cell replication, whereas the hamster study suggests that species differences may exist in both peroxisome proliferator-induced cell replication and liver tumor formation.

Peroxisome proliferators activate Kupffer cells in vivo.

The mechanism by which peroxisome proliferators increase cell replication and cause liver tumors in rodents remains unknown. When activated, Kupffer cells, the resident hepatic macrophages, release a variety of mitogenic stimuli that could theoretically increase cell proliferation in nearby hepatocytes. Therefore, in the present study we evaluated the effect of two potent peroxisome proliferato...

Peroxisome proliferators do not increase DNA synthesis in purified rat hepatocytes.

There have been numerous reports that chemicals which induce peroxisomes in rodent liver increase DNA synthesis in isolated hepatic parenchymal cells, but not as well in vitro as in vivo. It is also known that tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is mitogenic in isolated hepatocytes. Since Kupffer cells are a major source of TNFalpha in the liver and have recently been shown to be activated ...

Relationship of Hepatic Peroxisome Proliferation and Replicative DNA Synthesis to the Hepatocarcinogenicity of the Peroxisome Proliferators Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and [4-Chloro-6-(2,3-xylidino)-2- pyrimidinylthiojacetic Acid (Wy-14,643) in Rats

The mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis caused by peroxisome proliferators (PP) is poorly understood, making it difficult to predict the carcinogenicity of PP to rodents or other species. It has been suggested that the carcinogenic potential of individual PP in rodents is correlated with the degree of PP-induced hepatic peroxisome proliferation. To evaluate this possible correlation, di(2-ethylhe...
