ABSTRACT
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 during the S phase following the administration of four different liver mitogens, namely, lead nitrate, ethylene dibromide, nafenopin, and cyproterone acetate, or during compensatory cell proliferation following partial hepatectomy or a necrogenic dose of CCl4. The carcinogen-altered hepatocytes were monitored as gamma-glutamyltransferase- or placental glutathione S-transferase-positive foci using a 2-wk promoting regimen consisting of 0.03% 2-acetylaminofluorene coupled with a necrogenic dose of CCl4. The results indicate that, unlike compensatory cell proliferation induced by partial hepatectomy or CCl4, the mitogen-induced cell proliferation did not result in a significant number of enzyme-altered islands, despite the fact that the extent of cell proliferation at the time of carcinogen administration, as monitored by the examination of labeled cells, is similar with both types of proliferative stimuli.
