The purposes of the present study were to evaluate the hepatocarcinogenicity of
concurrent treatment of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline
(MeIQx) and diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in rats and to determine whether no effect levels of
combinations of these two different structural categories of genotoxic hepatocarcinogens
exist. Two 16-week rat hepatocarcinogenesis assays were performed using a total of 790
male F344 rats. In experiment 1, we evaluated the effects of concurrent treatment of a
subcarcinogenic dose of DEN on rat hepatocarcinogenesis induced by various doses of MeIQx.
In experiment 2, we determined hepatocarcinogenicities of combinations of MeIQx and DEN at
subcarcinogenic doses, low carcinogenic doses and high carcinogenic doses. Quantitative
analyses of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive
foci, a preneoplastic lesion of the liver in rats, revealed that concurrent treatment with
subcarcinogenic doses of DEN did not enhance MeIQx-induced rat hepatocarcinogenicity. We
also found that concurrent treatment with combinations of subcarcinogenic doses of DEN and
MeIQx was not hepatocarcinogenic, indicating that the combined effects of subcarcinogenic
doses of DEN and MeIQx were neither additive nor synergistic. Moreover, concurrent
treatment with low carcinogenic doses of these 2 carcinogens did not show additive or
synergistic effects. Synergetic effects were observed only in rats coadministered high
carcinogenic doses of the 2 carcinogens. These results demonstrate the existence of no
effect levels of combinations of these 2 genotoxic hepatocarcinogens, and provide new
evidence supporting our idea that there is a threshold, at least a practical threshold,
that should be considered when evaluating the risk of genotoxic carcinogens. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies suggest that alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer. However, the data are confounded by numerous cosegregating variables. To cast further light on the relationships between alcohol intake and colon cancer development, 21-day-old male F344/DuCrj rats were fed 200 ppm 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) in their diet for 8 weeks and doses of 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 20% of ethanol in their drinking water ad libitum for 16 weeks thereafter. The rats were sacrificed after 24 weeks of experiment, and aberrant crypt foci (ACF), surrogate lesions for colon cancer, were examined under a light microscope at low magnification. Ethanol was found not to affect the ACF formation at any dose compared with the initiated-controls. Furthermore, ethanol did not alter colon epithelial cell proliferation. These data, obtained by analysis of a colon cancer surrogate marker lesion, indicate that ethanol lacks promotion activity for MeIQx-initiated rat colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献
