Effect of human chorionic gonadotrophin on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced DNA binding and repair synthesis by rat mammary epithelial cells.

Abstract:

:The administration of the placental hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) to 50-day-old virgin Sprague--Dawley rats has been shown to reduce the incidence of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary cancer. We now report from studies using rat mammary epithelial cells in culture that the anti-carcinogenic effect of HCG may be related to its effect on DNA binding of DMBA and on DNA repair. The results showed that the level of excision repair in cells derived from young virgin (YV) rats grown in the presence of HCG (10 units/ml) was 2.5-4.0 times higher than the level exhibited by control YV cells and 1.5-2.5 times over that obtained for cells from old virgin and parous rats. The effect of HCG on DMBA-DNA binding was also determined in YV cells cultured in the presence of HCG (10 units/ml). Results from this study indicated that DMBA-DNA binding was inhibited by 30-40% in HCG-treated cells as compared to control cells. DNA binding of DMBA was also determined with mammary epithelial cells from YV rats which were given subcutaneous injections of HCG (5 units/rat) 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Using this in vivo-in vitro protocol, DMBA-DNA binding was 17-51% lower in cells from HCG-treated rats than in cells derived from control saline-treated rats. These results suggest that the protective effect provided by HCG against DMBA-induced mammary tumorigenesis may be attributed to its ability to inhibit binding of the carcinogen to mammary cell DNA and to its ability to increase the level of excision repair in the cells.
