Abstract：
:In a long-term animal study, the combined and separate effects of Thorotrast (colloidal 232ThO2) and silica dust on the induction of lung tumors were investigated. Female Wistar rats were exposed for 29 d to aerosol concentrations of quartz of either 6 mg m-3, 30 mg m-3, or 0 mg m-3 (6 h d-1, 5 d wk-1). After inhalation, one-half of all exposed animals received a single intravenous injection of enriched Thorotrast (600 microL, 2960 Bq 228 Th mL-1). In all quartz-exposed groups the incidence of benign and malignant lung tumors turned out to be more than 40%. The additional Thorotrast treatment (lifelong exhalation of 220Rn) led to a marked shortening of latency times (first lung tumor was found 1 y after treatment) and to a higher total incidence in the animals exposed to 30 mg m-3 quartz (57 of 87 animals with lung tumors = 65.5%). In the group treated only with Thorotrast, three of 87 animals developed lung tumors. Statistical methods that correct for intercurrent mortality showed a significant increase of the lung tumor risk with respect to Thorotrast treatment, even for the low quartz groups with nearly similar incidences of lung tumors (in the group with ThO2, 39 out of 87 = 44.8%; in the group without ThO2, 37 out of 82 = 45.1%). The tumors were found predominantly in the peripheral regions of the lung and were preceded by proliferation and hyperplasia of the alveolar and bronchiolar epithelium. The results demonstrate a pronounced interactive effect of quartz and Thorotrast on carcinogenesis of the lung. The underlying possible mechanisms are discussed.
