Inc., has rcvkwed many formal and in- lormal applicaturns tur rcxarch support. The direct result is that 413 diflercnt proj.cts havc Ixen lunded by 'fhc Council. based upon the rccommcndations ol the Adviwry Board, to support invc.tigaton in 259 medical schools, hospitals and rescarch instinotions. Each of thcx projccts, whcther active or completed, is listcd in this ycar's Report. Total funding through 191{0 was SMt.00q.0o0. The chief output of The Council's financial support arc 1,14342 scientific papers and repnrts. published by these investigators in many diQerent medical and scicntific journals, cuvering a widc range of subjects. 'ihe puhlication of thcsc rescarch results adds to the scientific literature and to the stockpile of informauun (rom which. it is hoped. will conie answers to complex problems .uch as thuse asociated with cancer, cardiovascular diseases and pulmonary ailments.

With rccpect to human AHlI. this groufis current views arc summarized as follows: (1) thc enzyme's inducihilily diRers among various individuals; (2) this diBerencc is genetically controlled; (3) thc distrihution paturn of Atilt inducibility in the normal population may merely rclkct day-to-day variability in the lymphocyte system, hut it also suggests polygcnic control of the cnzymc system; and (4) lung and oropharyngeal cancer paticnls have a higher Atilt inducibility than that found in the nurntal population. Indications arc, however, that cancer yrr u docs not causc high Atilt inducibilily. In patients with othcr types of malig- nancics. Utc cnzynte inducibility was indistinguishabk from that found in the normal puptdatiun. Studies that show an increased incidence of hydrocarboo- induccd tumors in animals susceptible to AHH induction, however. ><uggeu that such inducrhilily is a critical factor in the occurrence*o( chemically in- duced tumors.

-1 ARYI. f1YDROC'ARBON HYDROXYLASE IN HUMAN CANCER POPULATIONS 1he genetics of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (Allll) inducibility and tunwr susccptrbilily have becn studicd extensively in inbrcd roicc, and sumc of thc exlxrimcntul animal modcls have suggested that AIIII inducibility could bc an im)wrtan( dctcrntinant of susceptibility to hydraKarhon-tnduccd Iurnurs in humans. To tcst this hypothcsis. AFIH activity was measurcd in culturcd human lymphocytes. One inveatigator, surveying inducrbility in a population of 353 healthy donors, reported that it fcll into three groups: low, rntermedi- ate and high. This trinsodal distribution suggested that two allcles at a.inglc locus were responsiblc for the genetic control of AFI)f irxfucibility. Family studies were cunsistenl with this concept. The present invcstigators nxa.rucd AHit inducibility in lung cancer patients and paticnts with othcr typcs of cancer, and dcvebpcd a sophisticatcd, computerized systcm lor infornration rctricval pertaining to normal donors and cancer patienu. Over 7lX) normal donors and 600 cancer patients, including approximatcly 250 with lung can- ccr, have been sesred in this systcm so date. The studies reported here lead to the following summary of AfIH inducibility in humans: (1) individuals diHcr in their AHH inducibiGty; (2) the inducibility diRercnces observcd bc- twecn people arc under genetic control; (3) the unimodal distribution of AIIII inducibility observed in the normal population may stem in part from day-to- day variability in the lymphocyte system, but also suggests polygcnic control of /he enzynu system; and (4) lung and oropharyngeal cancer patients cx- hibit higher AHH inducibility than the normal population. No cause and effect relationship can be inferred from these studies alone, but viewed in the wntext of what has been shown clearly in experimental animals, the human lymphocyte AHH studies suggest that AHH inducibility is an important dc- tcrmiaant of susceptibility to hydrocarboa-induced tumors.

ARYL HYDROCARBON HYDROXYLASE ACTIVITY IN PULMONARY ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES AND LYMPHOCYTES FROM LUNG CANCER AND NONCANCER PATIENTS: A CORRELATION WITH FAMILY H)STORIES OF CANCER In tbis attempt to determine whether differences in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) iaducibility cxist bctweca normal and lung cancer pa- tients. AHH activity was measured in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) and peripheral blood lymphocytes from cigarette smokers with and without prim.ry luug canccr. The data allowed comparisons between the nor- mal and lung cancer paucnts for 26 variables, including age, occupation. sex. and sanrily hisluric% uf tliscase. Frequency distribution analy.is of AH11 in- rluctino rrt~us fur thc Iwo gruups rcvcalcd an incrcascd number of individuals rn the lung canccr paucnl group wi/b high lymphocyte induction values. Such nn incrca.c was nw shown lor high-I'AM AIIII values in lung cancer patients. When individual I'AM aud lymphocyte AH11 values were compared between nuncanccr and lung cancer patients, there was a positive correlation for nun- cancer paticnu, hrut ,hesc values did not correlate for lung cancer paticnta. 'lhcx cancer paticnts were divided into three subgroups showing (1) high PAM and low lymphocyte AiIH levels, (11) low PAM and low lymphocyte A)Ilf lcvcls, and (I11) low PAM and high lymphocyte AIIII kvcls. When the uicidcnce of lamily histary of cancer was compared for these subgroups, none was rccordcd for pcr.uns in subgroup ll; howevcr, individuala in sub- groups I and III prcccnted family cancer history incidences of 9.5% and i9.1%, respeclivcly. Paricnts in group 111 averaged six yean younger than thasc in gruup 1. ') hcsc data support the hypothesis that high kveb of AHH might be associated with increased levels of lung cancer in man, and they indicate that, for the analysis of AIIII levels in lung cancer patients, usc of the cultured lymphocyte system as a sole indicator of high Alfll levels is not warrantcd. These data also indicate that genetic factors are expressed in the initiation of lung cancer. McLcmorc. T. 1.., Murrin, R. R., Springer, R. R., Wray. N.. Cantrell, E. T., and Bushcc, D.

DO1E-RFSPONSE RELATIONSHIP OF RAT ARYL HYDROCARBON )IYDROXYLASE AND EPOXIDE )IYDRATASE INDUCTION The data reported here support the hypothesis that different regulatory mechanisms control aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH ) and cpoxide hydratase (EH) activity and that a selective inducer of liver enzymcs, such as phcao- barhital, may also aflect the inducibility of extrahepalic monooxygenases by other chemicals. The AH)f in rat lung and kidney is highly sensitive to in- ducers in cigarette smoke and smoke condensate, while EH activity is not af- fected by Ihcse agents. Both AHH and EH can be induced selectively in pri- mary rat liver cells in culture. Low doses of bens(o)anthraccrse (BA) prefer- entially enhance A)fll activity, while tranr-stilhcnc oxide (TSO) and various g 9

c antioxid:rnts aQcct only the EH activity. Phenobarbiul, which polcntirtcs in- duction of lung AHH activity by low doses of henzo(a)pyrcne,•also induccs AHH activity in cell culture and has a greatcr than additive effect when mixcd into the culture medium with BA. The effect of phcnoharhital on AH11 induc- tion is blocked by TSO but not by the inducing effect of BA. 7lrese results suggest that phcnobarbital is not merely an AF1)l induccr, but also has the capacity to potentiate /hc action of chemicals that belong to a ditTcrenl class of induccrs. In particular, they demonstrate that phcnobarbital ak,ne induccs a cytochrome P-450 linked AHH and causes the accumulation of more cyto- chronx Pr-450 associated enzyme when mixed with BA. Gitkn, !.

COMPARISON OF ARYL HYDROCARBON HYDROXYLASF. AND EPOXIDE HYDRATASE. I.NDUCTION IN PRIMARY FETAL RAT LIVER CELL CULTURE The effccts of benrla)anthracene (BA), phenobarbital (PB), cigarette smoke condensate (CSC), 2,3,7,B-tctrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and rrars-uilbcne oxide (TSO) on aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHII) and epo:ido hydratase (EH) activity have been studied in primary fetal rat liver cell eukure. The two enzymes vary in their response to these chemicals as shown by the following: (1) the concentration of BA, PB and CSC required to induce AHH is lower than the one nec+dcd for signi&ant induction of EH; (2) TCDD and low concentrations of BA selectively induce AHH; (3) with BA. PB and CSC, the AHH inductioa kinetics are not the same as those of EH induction; (4) TSO induces EH selectively. In the early phases of F.H induetion, RNA and protein synthesis as well as the continuous presence of the inducer arc required. When EH activity reaches a plateau, neither imact RNA rsor protein synthesis is required to maintain enzyme activity at its opti- aul kveL Tbe EH activity decays with the removal of the inducer, and its biologic half-life is estimaled to be about 72 hours as opposed to about 10 hours for AHH. While TSO preveMs the induction of AH11 by PB. it does not block that mediatod by BA aod CSC; but added together with PB, BA, CSC or PB plus BA, it induces the EH activity in a more than additive man- ncr. This effect, however, is only seen after six days of continuous treatment. According to these results, in this particular tissuo culture model, the mech- aoam of AHH and EH induction can clearly be disaociatcd. Goujon. F. M., V.ar Canrfort, J., aad GkJrs, I. E.

Previously used melhods for prcx)ucing lung carcinomas in inbted strains of mice sugacst a puuible animal modcl in which the susccptibility to pulmonary carcinomas may be specifically linked to the capacity of that organ to metabolize chemical carcinogens. In the system dcscribcd here, mice of the C57BL/6Cum. DBA/2Cum, first filia (F,) and hackcross progeny from the two parental strains were evaluated for susceptihility to 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced lung cancers. In the crosus, Afill respumivcncss segrcgatcd as a single autosomal dominant gene (Ah locus). The Aflll responsive mice expressed a very much higher AI1F1 activity/g wet weight liver after intraperitoneal treatment with MCA than the nonrespunsivc animals. Intratracheal administration of M('A (four 500 mg doscs, at wcekly intc(vals) caused a variety of pulmonary malignancies among the mice surviving one year aftcr treatment, including squamous cell carci- nomas, alveolar adcnucarcinomas and adenosquamous cell carcinomas. The ALIH-resp,)nsive ('S7Hl./6Cum, F, and CS7BIa6Cum x F, mice were much more susceptible to MCA•induced lung cancers than the nonresponsive DBA/ 2Cums. Purthcrmure, thc lung cancers found in DBA/2Cum x F, backcruss progeny did not occur randumly, since significantly more tumors were found in thc Alifl responsive oR.pring than in the nonresponsive ones. These data tend to support the exrstence of a genetic link between the capacity to respo to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through irxreased kvets of AHH activit . and susceptibility to certain types of malignancies. Indications are that sus- ceptibility to MCA-induccd lung carcinomas is relatcd to the AM allek. These results also suggest that animal models involving inbred strains could be used to surdy the control and regulation of cpithclially derived tunwrs, the type most frequently observed in the' human lung.

XENO7 ROPIC VIRUS EXPRESSION AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO 3-METHYLCHULANI HKL'NE-INDUCED CANCER Mice from two inbred strains, NZB/BLNJ and 1?9/1, and their various gcnetic crosses were studicd here for evidence of a geperic linkage between spontanuus production of infectirws xenotropie (X-tropic) virus and suscep- tibility to chemically induced cancers. The parental strains and F„ backcruss. and F_ progeny between lhcse two strains were partially spknectomized to as- ccrtain X-trupic viral sutus and were subsequently treated subcuuneatsly with 500 pg of 3-merhylchulanthrcne in trioctanoin.

In order to .pccilically address thc quLstion of Ihe rok of X-Iropic virus cxpression on susccptibility to chemical carcinogcneais, populations in which virus cxpressiun aegrcgates were studied. Here, the careinogenicily of the chemical was dclcr- minesf by obtaining a single value, the C1, which utilized both tumor incidence and latency pcriod. After 3-rrrethykholanthrcne Ircatment, 42% of the virus- positive mice devebped tumors as compared to 22% of thc vints-negativc animals. However, the average latency period was much longcr for the virus- positive mice, so that the resultant CI's for the two populations wcrc quite similar. Overall, the results seen herc suggest that little, if any, correlation exists between virus expression and 3-mcthylcholsnthrenc carcinugcncsis, and that there is no demonstrable genetic linkage between the two.

COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF INDOLE AND AMINOACL•TONITRII.E DERIVATIVES ON DIMETHYLNLTROSAMINE-DEMETHYI.ASE AND ARYL HYDROCARBOIJ HYDROXYLASE ACTIVITIES Certaiu substances such as the 3-substituted indole derivativcs found in erueiferous vegetablq, including brussel sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, alter the biological responses to chemical cueirrogeas. Of these compounds, which induce aryl hydrocarbon hydroaylase (AHH) and inhibit polycyclic hydro- earboa-induced neoplasia, at least one, 3-indolymethanol, also irxhtces amino- pyriac N-0emethylaae and /-nitroacisok O-0cmcthylase. indolc itself also in- duces dirrscthylnitrosamioe (DMN)-demetAyWe I in the rat, as does trypto- phan. Aminoacetottitrik, a mixed-function oxidase modifxr, intcr(eres with DMN rsretabolism, inhibits DMN-induced mctby/ation of hepatic RNA and breakage of DNA, and protects against DMN-produced injury to micrusomal amino acid irrcorporatioa; it also ptotecta against DMN-induccd disorganiza- lion o/ hepatic fine structure and DMN-induccd hcpatic carcinogcnesis. Itcre, the eQata of indole and amfooacetonitrik derivatives on the two enzymic forms of DMN-dcmethylase and on AHH were studied in vino. lndok, 3-in- dolymethanol, 3-indolylacetonitrik, 3-iadolylacetone and L-tryptophan in- creased AHH induction 3- to 6-fold, but P-3-irsdolykthanol had no e/fcct. In tact, the latter decreased the tissue endopfasmic reticulum content (i.e., micro- sonsal protein/uait weight) by 21%. Only L-Iryptophan induced DMN-dernc- thylase I and only it and 3-indolyrnethanol induced DMN-demethylase !1, about doubling the enzyme activity in all three instances. Aminoacetonitrik strongly repressed DMN-deroetbylaae I. Substitution of the amino group greatly decreased or abolished mixcd-function oxidase repressor activity. For uampk, iminodiacetonitrile displayed only about one-fifth the repressor ac- tivity of the puent eompound, while nitrilotriacetonitrik and dimethylamino- autoaitrik aeemed to be inactive. Neither the derivatives studied nor the par- eat compound, however, had any efieet on DMN-dcmethylasc II or Allti activitics. Since these nwxcd-function oxidases represent critical atcps in the metabolism uf DMN and polynuclear hydrocarbons, the modifying eRects of indole and aminoacctunitrile and their derivatives demonstrate the potential complexity of asscssing thc efTects of dietary constituents on the carcinogenic responses. It is suggestcd that such constituents can generally alter susceptibility to chemical carcinogens and in some instances, can further amplify the ear- ciiwgenic responscs to wu or more combination of agents. .1 rcns, J.

In these subjects. the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducihility ratio ranged from 2.4 to 4.6 and the antipyrinc plasma half-life from eight to 17 hours. While the results show that BP metabolizing activity docs not differ qualitatively among human donors, there are quantita- bve variations in the inducibility of BP metabolites, reflecting known individual differences in AHH inducibility. Several BP metabolites were identifscd: 7,8- dihydrudiol,, quinoncs, and 9-hydroxy and 3-hydroxy phenols. The HPLC data for the induction of BP phenol production correlated well with the known AHli' inducibility ratios for the donors, as determined by the conventional Iluorometric AIiH assay. These studics also indicated that the induction of bcnzo(n)pyrcne-7,8-dihydrodiul, proposed as the proximate carcinogenic form of BP, dues not parallel BP phenol induction. In addition, there was a strong ncgative eurrclation Ixtwcen Afllf irsducibility and measurements ol plasnu antipyrine or urinary 4-hydroayantipyrine half-Ide. At best then. AHH in- ducibility can be presunud to be an indcx of the capacity to metabolize BP through major, it not all, pathways, auggesting unequal flux of BP through the various routcs. 7 hc data also indicate that at least one activating inter- mediate sy.tem, the formation of BP-7,8.fiol, is not directly proportional to A)lH levels.

SECONDARY METABOUSM OF BENZO(a)PYRENE IN HUMAN CELLS Whik many metabolites of benra(a)pyrcrre (BP) are known to form in man, recent studies have shown that these primary metaM>aites are tnnsformed further to conjugates of sulfate, glueuronide and gluthathionc. Here, human lymphocytes and lung aucropiuges were used to study BP metabolism in cancer and rroncarrcer patients. Results of these experiments showed a meta- bolic profik similar to that reponed by others for human lymphocytes. After hydrolysis of the fractiqu, the metabolic prohks were slightly altered. The observed data suggest that during a short time of reaction where the substrate concentration is not saturating the enzyme complea, a substantial amount of conjugation occurs via glueuronide formation. The phenols are conjugated to an equal extent with glucuronide and sulfate. Also, in lung macrophages the extent of cunjudation wa% variable from pcr.on to person.

G 0 PHAGOCYTOSIS OF ASBESTOS FIBERS BY HUMAN PULMONARY ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES Although epidemiologic evidence supports a relationship between exposure to asbcstor (AS) 6bcn and the incidence of cancer, the exact mechanism of action on the human respiratory tract remains unknown. The pulmonary alveolar macrophaga (PAMs), which ingest various foreign particles that enter the distal tracheobrotschial tree, arc also the primary line of defense against inhakd AS fibers, but because it is virtually indcstructible, this material poses a unique problem tor PAM detoxification. Therc is cvidcnce, however, that phagocytosis followed by coating of the particles with cell membranc components, acid mucopolysaccharida and hcmosiderin convert it to a less toxic form. The present study investigates some biological interactions buwccn cultured human PAMs and amosite AS. Phagocytosis, cytotoxicily and ccll surface changes were examined by scanning ekctron microscopy after the cells' viability bad Arst been determined by the trypan blue dye exclusion method.. Results show tbat low concentrations of amositc AS are only slightly toxic to human PAMs in vitro. Higher coocentrations, however, cause significant tosicity. Phagocytosis begins immediately upon contact with AS: the PAM either wraps itself around the end of the fiber, endocytizing it by slowly moving toward its opposite end, or it spreads toward each end from the midline, then completely engulfs it. The macrophage membranes arc also aRectcd, as re- tlectcd by an increase in cytoplasmic bkbbing known as zciosis that probably results from the ccU's high metabolic activity, and by the appearance of a fibrous-likc material in close approximation with the AS fibers in the arca of the PAM membrane where the initial contact is made. The precise nature of this cellular product is currently under study to determine its biochemical structure. Further research into these biological interactions may prove valuable in establishing the etiology of ASrctated lung disorders. McLemore, T., Corson. M., Mace, M., Arnorr, M.

IN VITRO ACTIVATION OF CIGARETTE SMOKE CONDENSATE MATERIALS TO THEIR MUTAGENIC FORMS Accordin= to this report, both lAl and 2A1 reference cigarettes contain subslrates for bepatic morrooxygenascs capable of generating metabolic inter- rnediates that are mulasenic for S. rypbimuriwm tester strains TA1538 and TA9E. Tbc latta is selectively more scnsitive to mutagcncsis induced by smoke condensate. Thc most mutagcnic fractions, moreover, are not Ihe ones that contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) but those suppoaedly con- taining such hase•solublc chemicals as aromatic amines. The data suggest, therefore, that most (about 5896 ) of the total mutagenk activity of these con- dcnsatcs lies in the basic fractions and not in the ones containing the PAH. In addition, mouse pulmonary tissues seem capable of activating certain PAH and aromatic amincs but not others. Mouse, rat and human pulmonary tissues arc currently being compared for their ability to metaboiically activate cigarette smoke condensate material to biologically active forms. Kouri, R. E. rr af.

ORGAN SPECIFICITY OF INDUCTION OF ACTIVATING AND INAC"1'IVA'fING LN"LYh1ES BY CIGAREITE SMOKE AND CIGARETTE SMOKE CONDENSATE • The effccts of cigarette smoke and cigarette smoke condensate on the activating and inactivating enzyme systems of the body were studied here by in vivo and in r•itro methods. In the rat, cigarette smoke inhalation selectively induced lung and kidney aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity. On the other hand, epoxide hydratasc (EH) and glutathione S-transterase were not significantly modified in any tissues of the treated animals. Compared to the kidney AH1f, the lung hydroxylase was three-four timcs more sensitive to small concentrations of cigarette smoke and seemed to have a longer biological half- life. In both tissues, the induced AHH presented the same in vitro sensitivity to various inhibitors as a polycyclic hydrocarbon-induced AHH. In the in vitro studies, cigarette smoke condensate fractions (CSCF) induced both AHH and EH activity in primary (etal rat liver cell cultures. Neverthekss, the AHH activity responded faster and to lower concentrations of CSCF than did the F.Ff activity. A low concentration of bcnz(a)anthracene induced only the AHH activity, while trunr-stilbcne oxide enhanced selectively the Eli activity. Appropriate conccntrations of CSCF or of phenobarbital determined a parallel induction of both enzymes. It seems, therefore, that the liver cell culture constitutes a unique tool for a comparative study of the A111i and Eli in- duction nxchanisms. The existence of coordinated or independent biochemical control of AFtH and EH activity is discussed in this paper. Gielrn. J. E. rr. al.
