Studies in vivo using inhibitors of eicosanoid synthesis suggested that prostaglandins may play a role in mediating tumor promotion in liver by agents such as phenobarbital (PB). However, it is not clear whether any stimulation of arachidonic acid metabolism/prostaglandin formation results directly
Continued exposure of rats to carcinogenic doses of methapyrilene (MP) leads to elevated levels of 5-methyl-deoxycytidine (5MC) in liver DNA. Since gene expression often correlates with DNA methylation, we investigated these parameters in the MP-induced hepatocellular carcinomas of Fischer 344 rats.
