Abstract
B6C3F1 mice of both sexes that had been exposed transplacentally on day 18 of gestation to 0.5 mmole N-nitrosoethylurea (NEU) were fed either normal diets or diets containing di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) at 6,000 ppm beginning at 6 wk of age and continuing to 78 wk of age. At 52 and 78 wk of age, 6-26 mice from each group received a single injection of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (Brdu) at 200 mg/kg i.p. and were sacrificed 1 h later for determination of the levels of renal and hepatic DNA synthesis by the Brdu immunohistochemical technique. No differences occurred in incidences of gross or microscopic renal tubular cell tumors between the NEU (males 15%, females 21%) and NEU-DEHP groups (males 10%, females 15%) at 78 wk. The labelling index (LI) of renal cortical tubular cells was significantly increased at 78 wk (22.3 +/- 3.7/mm2 for males, 21.8 +/- 1.2 for females) in mice given NEU and DEHP as compared with NEU alone (9.7 +/- 1.0 for males, 6.9 +/- 0.7 for females). The number and sizes of focal hepatocellular proliferative lesions (FHPL), including hyperplastic foci, hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas, were quantified by image analysis and stereology. DEHP significantly enhanced the mean volume and volume % of FHPL, in...Continue Reading
