Carcinogenesis by Urethan Via Mother's Milk and Its Enhancement of Transplacental Carcinogenesis in Mice1
نویسنده
چکیده
Pulmonary tumors were induced in mice that were suckled by mothers that received urethan during lactation. More induced tumors appeared in sucklings when urethan was injected into lactating mothers soon after delivery. When pregnant mice were treated with urethan during gestation and lactation their offspring had a significantly increased incidence of pulmonary tumors, and the number of tumors per mouse was compatible with the sum of tumors in mice who received either prenatal or postnatal treatment. However, when prenatal urethan treatment was coupled with postnatal exposure via mother's milk, off

متن کاملTransplacental and Lactational Carcinogenesis by Safrole1
The carcinogenicity of safrole following transplacental ex posure of the mouse fetus and exposure of the neonatal mouse via the mother's milk was investigated in C57BL/6J x CSHeB/ FeJ F, (hereafter called B6C3F,) mice by intragastric admin istration of the agent to pregnant and lactating C57BL/6J females. Safrole (120 ftg/g body weight per treatment) was administered to (a) pregnant mice (4 tim...

One-week-old male and female mice of the A, BALB/c (C), and Oil, He (C3) strains and of the AC3 and CC3 !•, hybrids were treated with a single dose (300 mg/kg s.c.) of urethan and then kept without further treatment until 30 and 40 weeks (males) or 30 and 65 weeks (females). The degree of difference in susceptibility to hepatocarcinogenesis between the susceptible C3 and the resistant A and C...
متن کاملEnhancement of skin tumorigenesis by a single application of croton oil before or soon after initiation by urethan.
The importance of DNA synthesis in the initiation of skin tumorigenesis by urethan was investigated. Treatment of mice with 0.5% croton oil increases the rate of epidermal DNA synthesis 3to 6-fold beginning at 9 to 12 hr, reaching a peak at 18to 24 hr, and remaining elevated for 3 to 4 days. Croton oil treatment times of -24, -6, +1, and +24 hr were tested for their effect on initiation of skin...

for lung tissue (29). Subsequently, it has been shown to produce tumors in a variety of tissues of the mouse (37). Hemorrhagic lesions (6, 34, 37) and hemangiomas (20, 22, 32) in the livers of mice have been observed following the administration of unethan. Heston et al. (18) provided data obtaine4 from unethan-tneated C3H mice that permitted the addition of hepatomas to the list of neoplasms i...
