چکیده

Adult male Fischer rats were exposed to a necrogenic dose (200 mg/kg) of diethylnitrosamine or to nonnecrogenic doses of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, or benzo(a)pyrene following partial hepatectomy or sham hepatectomy. This treatment by itself led to no hepatocellular carcinomas by 8 to 18 months, except in animals given N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, which showed a 30% incidence by 12 months. With each treatment regimen, exposure to dietary 2-acetylaminofluorene for 2 weeks coupled with partial hepatectomy or the administration of a necrogenic dose of CCl4, was associated with an incidence of 68 to 94% of cancer at 8, 12, or 18 months, depending upon the initiating carcinogen used. Appropriate controls showed either no hepatocellular carcinoma or a much lower incidence. It is concluded that the 2-week exposure to dietary 2-acetylaminofluorene plus partial hepatectomy or the administration of CCl4 has a strong promoting effect on liver carcinogenesis with four different chemical carcinogens.

Promotion of Liver Cancer Development by Brief Exposure to Dietary 2-Acetylaminofluorene plus Partial Hepatectomy or Carbon Tetrachloride1

Adult male Fischer rats were exposed to a necrogenic dose (200 mg/kg) of diethylnitrosamine or to nonnecrogenic doses of N-methyl-W-nitrosourea, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, or benzo(a)pyrene following partial hepatectomy or sham hepatectomy. This treatment by itself led to no hepatocellular carcinomas by 8 to 18 months, except in animals given A/-methyl-A/-nitrosourea, which showed a 30% incidence b...

Requirement of cell proliferation for the initiation of liver carcinogenesis as assayed by three different procedures.

Experiments were designed to determine the role of cell proliferation in the initiation of liver carcinogenesis induced by chemicals. To investigate this, two methylating carcinogens, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, were used as the initiating carcinogens. The initiated hepatocytes were monitored by selectively stimulating them to grow into focal islands of presumptive preneop...

Induction of resistant hepatocytes as a new principle for a possible short-term in vivo test for carcinogens.

The induction of resistant hepatocytes in vivo in the rat has been observed with 21 different chemical carcinogens. The resistance was measured by the ability of the cells to proliferate as focal lesions in the presence of an environment that inhibits the original or surrounding hepatocytes from proliferation. This was created by a dietary 2-acetylaminofluorene plus a stimulus for cell prolifer...

Enhanced liver tumor promotion but not liver initiation activity in rats subjected to combined administration of omeprazole and β-naphthoflavone.

Omeprazole (OPZ) and β-naphthoflavone (BNF) are cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A inducers and have liver tumor promoting effects. In this study, we investigated the co-promoting and co-initiating effects of OPZ and BNF in rats. In Experiment 1, male rats were subjected to partial hepatectomy (PH), and given oral doses of 138 or 276 mg/kg OPZ, 0.125% or 0.25% BNF or 138 mg/kg OPZ+0.125% BNF (n = 9~12) fo...

Inability of mitogen-induced liver hyperplasia to support the induction of enzyme-altered islands induced by liver carcinogens.

Experiments were designed to determine whether liver cell proliferation induced by direct mitogens is as effective as compensatory cell proliferation consequent to previous cell loss, in supporting the growth of enzyme-altered islands in the liver induced by chemical carcinogens. Male Wistar rats were given injections of a single nonnecrogenic dose of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea or benzo(a)pyrene du...
