Prevalidation of a rat liver foci bioassay (RLFB) based on results from 1600 rats: a study report.

Abstract:

:A rat liver foci bioassay (RLFB) based on an initiation-promotion protocol employing preneoplastic foci of altered hepatocytes (FAH) as an endpoint, was prevalidated in 5 different laboratories. FAH were identified by immunohistochemical demonstration of glutathione-S-transferase (placental form, GSTP) and by staining with hematoxilin/eosin (H&E), and their area fraction was quantified morphometrically. The four model hepatocarcinogens N-nitrosomorpholine, 2-acetylaminofluoren, phenobarbital, and clofibrate were selected according to characteristic differences in their presumed mode of action, and tested in a total of 1,600 male and female rats at 2 different dose levels. The chemicals were found to differ characteristically in their potency and dose-response relationship to induce FAH when given alone or when administered following initiation with diethylnitrosamine. The interlaboratory variation was small for results obtained with the GSTP-stain and somewhat larger with respect to H&E. The assessment of the carcinogenic potential of the four chemicals by the different laboratories was in the same range and the nature of their dose-response relationships did not differ essentially between laboratories. Our results suggest that this RLFB is a sensitive bioassay, providing potentially valuable information for risk assessment including the classification of carcinogenic chemicals according to their mode of action.
