چکیده

We have conducted a series of experiments to characterize the lesions that are precursors of cutaneous papillomas in SENCAR mice initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The first grossly detectable lesions at sites where papillomas subsequently developed were papules, slightly raised areas of skin ranging in diameter from 0.25 to approximately 1.5 mm. Papules were first detected in DMBA-initiated mice 21 days after the start of dosing with TPA. Of 78 DMBA/TPA-induced papules tracked during 15 weeks of TPA treatments, 68% progressed to papillomas, 9% persisted as papules, and 22% completely regressed. Histological evaluation of serial sections of 69 DMBA/TPA-induced papules revealed that they were focal hyperplastic lesions that we refer to as squamous cell hyperplastic foci (SCHF). These hyperproliferative lesions appeared to progress through two distinct stages. Stage I SCHF were characterized as regular hyperplastic foci involving the interfollicular epidermis and the outer root sheaths of 1 or more hair follicles down to the level of the sebaceous glands. Stage II SCHF were foci of irregular epithelial hyperplasia with increased fibrovascular stroma and involved from 3 to >10 hair follicles. Prominent dilated capillaries and inflammatory cell infiltrates were frequently associated with both stage I and II SCHF. Ha-ras gene codon 61 mutations were detected in 7 of 10 stage I SCHF and 13 of 14 stage II SCHF microdissected from histological sections and 7 of 7 of whole papules by mutation-specific PCR analysis. These data provide molecular evidence that SCHF are foci of initiated cells. Further study of these lesions may contribute to more fully defining the sequence of molecular and cellular changes necessary for tumorigenesis in mouse skin. SCHF may also have utility as early indicators of potential skin tumorigenicity in cancer bioassays.

Induction of terminal differentiation-resistant epidermal cells in mouse skin and in papillomas by different initiators during two-stage carcinogenesis.

Carcinogen treatment of normal mouse epidermal cells causes some cells, if cultured under the appropriate conditions, to continue to proliferate instead of terminally differentiate, forming foci at 37 degrees C in medium with a calcium level above 0.1 mM. We have examined these Calcium (Ca)-resistant cells formed in the skin of SENCAR mice after treatment with the carcinogen initiator 7,12-dime...

Analysis of two inbred strains of mice derived from the SENCAR stock with different susceptibility to skin tumor progression.

The SENCAR stock of mice has proved to be a useful model in dissecting out the multistage nature as well as the critical mechanisms involved in skin tumorigenesis. This outbred stock was selectively bred to be susceptible to initiation with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and promotion with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). In order to obtain mice more suitable for genetic analy...

Terminal differentiation-resistant epidermal cells in mice undergoing two-stage carcinogenesis.

We have used an in vivo-in vitro approach to investigate the cellular aspects of two-stage skin carcinogenesis. Female SENCAR mice initiated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were promoted twice weekly with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Epidermal cultures from untreated or TPA-treated mice had few focus-forming cells resistant to calcium-induced terminal differentia...

Development and initial characterization of several new inbred strains of SENCAR mice for studies of multistage skin carcinogenesis.

The development and initial characterization of five new inbred strains of SENCAR mice are described in this paper. Ten randomly selected pairs of outbred SENCAR mice were mated and offspring from each separately maintained parental line were sib mated at each successive generation to result in inbred strains. Due to poor reproductive performance only five of the original 10 lines were bred to ...
