Genetic control of hepatocarcinogenesis in C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ inbred mice

Carcinogenesis
N R Drinkwater, J J Ginsler

Abstract

Treatment of newborn male C3H/HeJ mice with N,N-diethyl-nitrosamine (DEN) or N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) resulted in the induction of hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas with a mean number of tumors per animal that was approximately 20- to 50-fold higher than that for similarly treated C57BL/6J male mice. We used two methods to study the genetic basis for this difference in susceptibility to liver tumor induction. Analysis of DEN-induced liver tumor multiplicities as a quantitative genetic trait in segregating crosses between C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mice indicated that allelic differences for at least two loci contributed to the higher sensitivity to hepatocarcinogenesis of C3H/HeJ mice relative to C57BL/6J mice. However, a single locus, which we have denoted Hcs (hepatocarcinogen sensitivity), was responsible for approximately 85% of the difference in susceptibility. The C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ alleles at this locus were semi-dominant. This result was confirmed by analysis of hepatocarcinogenesis by ENU in BXH (C57BL/6J X C3H/HeJ) recombinant inbred mice. Four of the nine recombinant inbred strains studied were highly susceptible to the induction of liver tumors by ENU, three of the strains exhibited the resistant phenotype of th...Continue Reading

Adenoma, Liver Cell

Liver Cell Adenoma or hepatic adenoma is a rare benign tumor. It is associated with birth control use or pregnancy. Discover the latest research on Liver Cell Adenoma here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
