Lack of modifying effects of 6-mercaptopurine in a medium term bioassay system for liver carcinogenesis using male F344 rats.

Abstract:

:Carcinogenic and modification potential of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was studied in a medium-term bioassay system for rat liver carcinogenesis. F344 male rats were initiated with a single dose (200 mg/kg body wt.) of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) i.p. and fed diets containing either 0.005% or 0.02% 6-MP with or without 0.05% phenobarbital (PB) for 6 weeks. Quantitative data revealed that 6-MP did not enhance the appearance of enzyme-altered preneoplastic foci and nodules even when administered at the highest dose (0.02%) despite showing an immunosuppressive effect and slight liver cell damage. Neither of the doses of 6-MP exerted any significant influence on the enhancing effect of PB when administered simultaneously in the medium-term-bioassay.

  • Analysis of E6 variants of human papillomavirus type 33, 52 and 58 in Japanese women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia/cervical cancer in relation to their oncogenic potential.

To see whether the same is the case with HPV33, 52 and 58, known to have high homology with HPV16, we analyzed the E6 sequence variation of these HPVs in 107 Japanese women with cervical i...
