✦ Synopsis

Only a small proportion of DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors are transplantable in cleared (gland-free) mammary fat pads. To enhance their transplantability, several host factors were modified: age, parity, hormone levels, and tissue integrity of the fat pad. Our 2 important findings were that (I) there were individual differences between the tumors in their transplantability and potential to proliferate normal and hyperplastic outgrowths, and (2) these differences were determined by their inherent potential and not by their environment. These intrinsic differences among the tumors are consistent with the concept that properties of a given type of tumor are independently variable.

The chemopreventive efficacy of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), anethole trithione, miconazole and phenethylisothiocyanate (PEITC), each of which would be expected to alter carcinogen metabolism, was examined in the dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) mammary carcinogenesis model.

In order to analyze the mutational events and to understand the biological significance of the p53 gene in chemical carcinogenesis, we applied a new yeast-based p53 functional assay to ovarian tumors induced by 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), as well as to transitional cell carcinomas of the
