A liver DNA synthesis promoter induced in rat plasma by injection of dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA) or thioacetamide.

Abstract:

:The appearance of a liver DNA synthesis promoter (HP) in rat plasma after dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA) or thioacetamide injection was investigated. After 48 h, DMNA (30 mg kg-1 body weight) produced liver (centrilobular) necrosis and intense hepatic regeneration, as assessed by microscopic observations of liver slices, as well as augmented transaminase levels; HP was detectable under these conditions. After 5 days, transaminases and HP returned to normal values (the latter undetectable), coinciding with a lack of necrotic zones. At 60 mg DMNA kg-1 body weight, necrotic areas were more marked and transaminases and HP levels higher after 48 h than with the lower dose; these increases were even more pronounced at 90 mg DMNA kg-1 body weight. After thioacetamide injection (200 mg kg-1 body wt) the situation at 48 h was very similar, with focal, centrilobular necrosis, frequent regenerative signs, high transaminases and detectable HP. Rats recovered after 7 days in a similar fashion as with DMNA. At 400 mg thioacetamide kg-1 body weight, necrotic areas and regeneration zones were more widespread and transaminases and HP higher after 48 h than with the lower dose. On account of the differing modes of action of DMNA and thioacetamide in rat liver, it is proposed that the appearance of HP activity in plasma could be related to the regenerative process that follows hepatotoxic damage.
