✦ Synopsis

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a multimedia environmental pollution that is carcinogenic in mouse liver. The ability of TCE to modulate DNA methylation and the expression of immediate-early protooncogenes was evaluated. Female B6C3F1 mice were administered 1000 mg/kg TCE by gavage 5 days/week and killed after 5, 12, or 33 days of exposure. Methylation of DNA as 5-methylcytosine was decreased by 5 days of treatment with TCE and remained reduced for 33 days. TCE also decreased the methylation of the promoter regions for the protooncogenes, c-jun and c-myc. The expression of the mRNA for the two protooncogenes was increased between 60 and 120 minutes after administering the last dose of TCE and returned to control level by 24 hours. The expression of the mRNA for c-fos remained undetectable after administering TCE. Hence, TCE decreased the methylation both of total DNA and the promoters for the c-jun and c-myc genes and increased the expression of their mRNA. The decreased methylation and increased expression of the two immediate-early protooncogenes might be associated with TCE-induced increase in cell proliferation and promotion of tumors.

Loss of chromosomes frequently accompanies the establishment of hepatic cell lines in mice. Previous cytogenetic and allelotype studies have revealed that loss of chromosomes 4 and 12 is particularly common. In the present study, fine-deletion mapping was performed for chromosome 12 using 44 liver e

The alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) or "comet" assay under alkaline conditions was used to measure DNA damage in the liver cells of B6C3F1 male mice exposed to 2,4-dimethylaniline and 2,4,6-trimethylaniline. Cells embedded in agarose were lysed, subjected briefly to an electric field
