large number of animals was us.a so that tne smoke generation
and animat-notoinq systems eould ae testeo and e.aluated and yet
provide signiliunt numbers ol animala for eaposure to cigarette

as alveolar adenocarcinomas (AAC). A total of 19 of 973 amokF
eaposed mies aro 7 of 651 snam-espoaea mice were observed
with AAC. The difference between tne amoke- and aham-eaposed
grouQs waa not statiatiully aipniticant at P<oS, but the data sup-

The experimental design of studies to evaluate the
long-term effects of exposure to cigarette smoke in an
animal model system must attempt to simulate human
exposures. The tziteria used to design such studies
should be based on those reported to be important in
cigarette smoke-auaeiated human diseases Those fae-
tors include high exposure to fresh mainstream cigarette
smoke on a daily basis for a major portion of the life-
time of the individual (2. 3). Even under these eondi-
tions, however. resultant smoke-associated diseasea have
been observed in only a small fraction of the exposed
individuals. Our laboratories have been involved in the
development of animal model systems and inhalation
equipment to assess the biologicsl effeets of acute and
chronic inhalation of cigarette smoke. In the develop-
ment of the mouse modcl system. two approaches were
taken: 1) quantitation of short-term effects known to be
tt,Juu:
C:r
associated with smoke exposure and 2) quantitacion of
long-term effects of model chemicals on eareinogenesis
of the respiratory tract (4-6). The expesimental condi-
tions in this chronic smoke inhalation study were
designed to maximize the responses known to be in-
volve:d from the short-term effects and to observe the
results of long-term exposure to cigarette smoke.
Mice were chosen as the animal model for these stud-
ies and, in parucular, (C578VCum X C3H/AngCumlFl
mice. This choice was based on several facton: a) avail-
ability of large numbers of animals; b) susceptibility to
the induction of lung tancer (squamous cell carcinoma.
A1C, poorly differentiated carcinoma. etc.) by model
chemical areinogetu (4, 6), which was linked to;eneti-
ally determined differences in hydrocarbon metabolism
capacity (7); c) availability of animals that were free of
common adventidotu agents, in particular. Scndai virus
and pneumonia virus of tnice; d) case and cost effective-
ness of handling and manipulating on a daily basis; c)

similarity to the mouse strain used by the National Toxi-
cology Program for the Chemical Bioassay Program.
The susceptibility of these mice to the long-term effects
of cigarette smoke was not known. However, the average
life-span of the animals was approximately 124 weeks.
and diseases that could interfere with interpretation of
the effects of cigarette smoke (i.e.. lung cancsr) were
known to occur very late in life (mean time of 112 wk of
age) and at low frequency (GT.G) (4).
The smoke generation and exposure equipment used
in these studies has been described in detail elsewhere (5,
13). This equipment was designed for standard'ued.
documented inhalation exposures of large numbers of
mice to fresh, whole cigarette smoke. Dosimetry studies
demonstrated that 80-90% of the smoke puticulates that
were deposited onto smoke-exposed mice were found in
the respiratory tract and that animal-to-animal variation
was less than 20% (5).
In this study, standardized exposure conditions with
Kentucky reference 2R1 cigarettes (high tar and high
nicotine) were used to expose 2.053 (CS7BLCum X
C3H/AnfCum)FI female mice to whole dgarette smoke,
1.014 mice were sham-exposed. and 449 mice were held
as shelf controls. In addition, 710 mice wen included for
co-treatment with benzo[a]pyrene by intratracheal inoc-
ulation, followed by smoke exposure or sham<xposurc.
The results from these latter studies will be reported sep-
arately (Henry CJ. Kouri REt Submitted forpublintion).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Data colfection.-An Experiment Information Man-
agement System on a Hewlett Packard 3000 computer
pro, ided means for recordingand collating the observa-
tions and data for each animal over the course of this
3-vear study. Animals were zandomized. given individ-
ual identification car tags (National Band and Tag,
Knoxville, TN), and assigned to a specific experimental
group and treatrnent schedule. This information was
entered into the experimental data base. interpreted by
an edit program. and added to the existing data base via
an update program. As the experiment proceeded. ob-
servations. inventories, monthly body weights, and the
levels of TPM generated each day were obtained and
added to the data base. An automacic-tare Sartorius bal-
ance was interfaced with a Hewlett Packard 2644 eom-
puter terminal to collect and record animal weights. At
the time of the animals' death or saaifice. autopsy forms
were prepared to describe any gross pathological obser-
ations and to assign specific histopathology numbers
to each animal. The computer system supported the
diagnoses using the Systematized Nomenclature of
Pathology codes for the interpretation and reporting of
the microscopic results.

View Farms (Clinton. TN) at 4-6 weeks of age. Females

Females were chosen beause they were not aggrest
with their cage mates during long-term experiments a..
because their smaller body size reduced the need for neck
restraints of different sizes. These neck restiaints were
used for smoke exposure and for shamtxposure.
Upon arrival, mice were tested serologimlly for adven-
titious agents, inoculated ip with 0.1 ml Sendai virus
vaccine (M.A. Bioproducts, Walkersville. mD: (I, it)).
and quarantined for a minimum of 3 weeks prior to
treatment. The serological testing and animal husbandrv
procedures have been descibed previously (4. 13).
Smoke generation and monitoring.-Cigatette smoke
was generated on the SEM II, a large-capacity, dynamic,
intermittent smoke exposure system in which the smoRe
is routed to the animal containment system as a contin-
uously flowing stream for nose-only exposure of mice
(5,13,15). Mice were restrained in stocklike holden, and
up to 480 mice were exposed nose only to the same
smoke-exposure regimen (13). Two SEM 11 machines
were required for the large numbers of animals in these
studies. A separate sham-exposure machine was also
used (1)). Three animal contaitunent racks were used.
one for each smoking machine and one for the sham
exposure machine. Mice were loaded into the neci;-
rutraint holders and transported on specially designed
carts for loading onto the exposure modules. The
animal-holding system was described elsewhere (13).
The mice were restrained approximately 2.5 hoursitlay.
,-k standardized smoke-exposure regimen was used.
The cigarette was puffed once per minute. generating
average SS-ml puff during a 2-second period. For tht
atudies, a nominal 10% percent (vol/vol) smoke aerosol
was produced. The exposure cycle alternated 20 seconds
of smoke with 40 seconds of air/minute for 6-8 consecu-
tive minutes (6-8 puffs/cigarette). Preliminary studies
showed that these numbers of puffs approached a maxi-
mum tolerated dose for this cigarette; however, this regi-
men also resulted in smoking about the first one-half of
the cigarette and resulted in delivery of approximately
one-third of the potential TPM of the 2R1 cigarette.
After an 8-minute.rest during which air was provided.
the smoke exposure cycle was repeated. Five such expo-
sure cycles (cigarette e4uiva)ents) with an air rest be-
tween each cycle were given each day. To acclimate the
mice to this exposure regimen. the length of exposure
was gradually increased over the lst month of the study.
Smoke and airflow-monitoring devices were devel-
oped to provide documentation of smoke particulate
exposure levels and to provide safety systems for acci-
dental toxic exposures or machine malfunctions (13).
The on-line smoke monitor provided daily puff-by-puff
documentation of the smoke particulate levels (13).
Flow sensors were added to the exposure equipment
during the lst year of the study and were designed to
provide auxiliary air to the exposure modules if neces-
sary. Detai)s of the design and use have been given else-
where (13).

filtered experimental reference cigarettes and have been
characterized under standard Federal Trade Commission
orocedures at Oak Ridge National Laboratories, Oak
Ridge. TN. Under these conditions. the 2RI cigarette
delivered approximately 44 mg TPM. 2.4 mg nieotine,
and 21 ml of carbon monoxide (16). Cigarettes were
removed from frozen storage and conditioned at 70-75'F
and 60% relative humidity for at leut 18 hours before
use.
Animaf wciShts.-AII mice were weighed at monthly
'intervals at approximately the same tiine of day. 2 days
aftcr cages were changed. Smoke- and sham<xposed
animals were weighed at least 2 hours after exposure.
Data were recorded for each animal, and the me:tn and
standard deviation were calculated for each group at
monthly intervals.
TPbf deposieion and COHb fevefs-As determined
from parallel radioactive dosimctry experiments, smoke
particulate deposition was determined to be between
approximately 125 and 200 µg TPM/day/mottse lung
for this exposure regimen using 6-8 puffs/cigarette. [See
Henry et al. (5) (or a description of the methods and
results.]
COHb levels were determined at monthly intervals.
Blood from the retro-orbital sinus was collected from
3-5 rnicergroup. Natelson bloodco)lecting tubes (175
µl; Sherwood Medical Industries. Inc., St. Louis. MO)
were prepared shortly before use by rinsing L'te tubes
with a drop of sodium heparin (10.000 U/ml: Abbott
Liboratories. Baltimore. MD). After blood collection,
the tubes were sealed with Critocaps, stored on iee. and
analyzed within 30 minutes using an IL-CO-Oximeter
(IL-282: Instrumentation Laboratory. Ine, Lexington,
`tA).
,Veeropsy.-;'vIice were observed twice daily for evi
dence of illness or respiratory distress. Dates and cireum-
stances of death were recorded for all mice. \onauto-
lyred tissues from mice found dead and those killed
when moribund were examined microscopically. Lungs
were fixed in situ with approximately 1.5 ml of 10% buf-
(ered Formalin by infusion via the trachea. Lungs were
lit,,ated at the trachea, and the thoneie viscera were
removed as a single unit and examined grossly. Lung.
trachea, esophagus. and thoracic lymph nodes were see-
tioned (6 umi as a unit at 3 levels. using a frontal plane
of sWion. During the lst year, respirztory tissues (lungs,
larynx. trachea, nasal cavity, and middle ear) and
abnormal tissues wcre examined microscopically from a
random sampling of 13% of the animals that died Dur-
ing the 2d and 3d years, respitatory tissues and any
abnormal tissues from all animals were fixed and
stained. Respiratorv tract tissues from 96% of the ani
mals were examined miaoscopieally.'In addition. 16
other tissues from major organs were examined miao-
scoptcall. irom a random sampling of 10% of the ani-
inals. These tissues included salivary glands. cervical
lymph nodes. spleen. liver. kidneys, adrenal glands. uri-
nary bladder. ovaries, uterus, heart, stomaeh. large and
small incestincs. pancreas, and thymus. Tissues were
examined microscopically from a total of 987. 659. and
369 mice in the smoke-exposed, shamtxposed, and
shclf-control animals, respectively.
Morphological crite,io.-A brief description of the
lesions observed In these studies is presented below.
AAC occurred as discrete grayish-white, firirt masses,
located in the peripheral portions of the lung, and were
often multiple. Some tumors occasionally showed pleu
nl invasion and metastasis. Adenomu are not included
in this category.
Pulmonary adenomas were scored in two categories:
ACN and ANCN. This classification scheme was devised
as part of other on-going studies to determine the possi.
ble progressive nature of adenomatous lesions to carci.
nomas. Details of the chemical inducibility. time course.
and transplantability of the ACN and ANCN will be
reported elsewhere: however, ACN, as well as AAC. grew
into tumon after transplantation into newborn BC3Ft%
Currt mice in about 50% of the ases (Henry CJ, Billups
LH. Hall WC, et al.: Manusaipt in preparation). Histo-
logially. ACN and ANCN were differentiated on the
basis of size and extent of compression of the surround-
ing lung parenchyma.
ACN were rounded masses of hyperplasdc alveoto-
genic cells, about 2-3 mm in diameter, that did eom-
press the surrounding parenchyma. Nodules located ir.
the most peripheral portions of the lung tended to
invade the pleura. ANC.~f were similar to ACN. but they
did not compress the surrounding parenchyma. These
nodules were barely visible grouiy. Mitoses were oo
served oecasionally.
Congestion in the lung was observed a; di)ated pul-
monary vefas and capillaries, which were engorged with
blood. The congestion could have been the result of an
active process resulting in lung irritation, a passive pro-
cess resulting in reduced flow of blood from the lung. or
an inadvertent delay in necropsy after dcath.
Head and neck fibrosarcomss were malignant neo-
plasms of fibrous tissues. They were unencapsulated anc

dish foei of hemorrhage. Manv of these observed in this

can be a portal of'entry for inhaled material. Extension
of this lesion into the brain can result in death of the
mouse.
PAMA was observed as clusters of alveolar foam cells
or pulmonary macrophages in the alvcolar spaces. The
cells contained brown pigment and were often large and
vacuolated.
Data analysis.-An attempt was made to determine
the cause of death of each animal. The major reasons for
death were either conditions that randomly removed the
animals from the study (i.e.. smoke-related or sham
exposure-related. hotder-related. or documented airflow
or smoke flow factors) or diseases that likely led to the
death of the animal. This tabulation allowed us to ana-
lyre the data by two methods (1. 17, 18).
The first method assumed that the lesion caused the
death of the animal. and thus an "actuarial" table was
constructed that compared the numbers of animals that
died carrying that specific lesion to the total number of
animals alive at the beginning of that interval. For the
actuarial analysis. the total numbers of animals at risk
either were those that were strictly defined to have died
as a result of their lesions or were those generally
defined as the total number of animals that had histo-
pathologiml examinations.
The second method assumed that the lesion did not
lead to the death of the animal. In this way. the "inci-
dence" of a particular lesion at a given interval was eal-
culated by determining the number of animals found
with a specific lesion compared to the total numbers of
animals that dted during that intervaL The numbers of
animals in this interval were either those animals that
were strictly defined to have been taken off test ran-
domly or the total number of animals that died during
that interval.
Statistical analyses were determined according to the
method of Mantel and Haenszel (19) and Katilan and
Meier (20). The procedure is briefly stated as follows.
For 2 groups to be compared, the number of aniraals
with a given lesion and the number of animals that were
at risk for that lesion for each interval were used to con-
struct 2X2 contingency tables. The number of lesions
expected and the variance of this number could then be
determined for cach interval. The sum of the expected
values was treated as an approximately normal random
variable with known mean and variance. The chi-square
statistic. corrected or uncorrected for continuity, w:
then used to determine the level of significance of tt:
difference between the expected number of lesions ar._
the ob'served number of lesions for 2 experimcnui
groups over any given interval.
RESULTS
Smok. Generatlon and Monitoring
Data from the on-line smoke monitor showed that an
average of 0.62 g TPM/day was delivered to the mice.
Thus an animal that survived for the complete exposure
time of 110 weeks was exposed to approximately 339 g
TPM. Data from previously reported dosimetry studies
(5) showed that following exposure to 6-8 puffs of 2R:
cigarette smoke, about 125-200 pg TP.1ii would be de
posited in the respiratory tract of these mice during one
exposure session. Multiplyins the daily amount depo;-
ited by the total exposure time suggested that up to
100 mg TPM could have been deposited per mouse lung
over the course of this study.
COHb levels were also determined at mont.hlv int:r-
vals. The mean COHb levels were 17.1 :: 4.2 iSD:.
1.4% d: 0.4 (SD). and 1.8% = 0.4 (SD) for the smole-
exposed. sham-exposed. and shelf-control mice. respec-
tively.
Toxlelty of Treatment
Survival.-A large number of animals were used i
these studies so that this smoke generation and anima
holding system could be tested and evaluated and still
allow for significant numbers of animals to be expose~'
to cigarette smoke for a sipifiant percentage of their
lifetime. Table I summarizes the disposition of mice
during this 3-year study. During the lst year. almost 50 e
of the smoke-exposed and 30% of the sham-exposed mice
died of exposure-equipment-related problems. One
major problem was an inability to monitor when or if
air was flowing through the modules. At the end of the
lst year. flow sensors (see "Materials and Methods" for
de!cription) were added, and these safety systems resulted
in enhanced survival of mice in both the smokc- and
sham-exposed groups.

of the smoke- and sham-exposed groups decreased more
rapidly than those of the shelf-control animals. indicat-
ing that the daily smoke exposure or sham<xposure
caused a detectable level of morbidity and mortality.
After 80 weeks on test, however, the shelf-control group
was observed to die at a more rapid rate than the smoke-
or sham-erposed mice. This was also the time when the
shell-control animals were losing body weight (see next
section and text-fig. 2).
Body weighrs.-Body weight analyses of the smoke-
exoosed, sharn-exposed, and untreated shelf-control ani-
mals are presented in text-figure 2. The shelf-control
mice gained weight until 30-60 weeks and then gradu-
ally declined in weight during old age. The rate of
weight gain of the shelf-control animals was signIfi-
antly greater (P:S.05) than that of the smoke- and sham-
erposed mice. At about 80 weeks on test, the shelf-
control mice had an average weight of SO g. No differ-
ence between the mean body weighu of the smoke- and
sham-exposed mice was found over the course of the
study. Smoke- and sham-exposed mice gained weight
slowly until about 60 weeks on test. after which their
weight gradually declined. The average maximum
weight of BC3FllCum mice in the smoke- or sham-
exposed groups was 32 g, which was s.een at about 60
weeks on test.

Clinical sigru.-Mice were observed during and im-
mediately after dafly exposetre to smoke and sham-
treatmenL For the smoke-exposed animals, while a czr-
tain amount of adaptation occurred, the animals never
accepted smoke exposure without some agitation or
struggling in the holder. They occasionally demonstrated .
some shallow breathing or gasping during expostue.
Immediately after exposure. mice in the smoke-exposed
groups were often lethargic, ataxic, and hypothermic.
The sham-exposed animals also demonstrated agitation
and struggling while restnined in the holders. but
generally they apperued normal after exposure.
After 20-30 weeks of exposure. certain animals were
observed to have reddened skin and worn-away hair
around the neck area that fits into the stocklike holder.
In 30-40% of the cases, these itTitated areas progressed to
open sores as exposures eontinued. Periodically, during
the 2d year of the study the tnice were rested and not
exposed. Such rcsts enabled the neck cuts to heal. The
length of the rt:sts varied from 1 day to I week. Polycar-
bonate inserts for the stocklike restraints were found to
cushion the neck slot and could be effective in limiting
such neck abrasions. It is recommended that such inserts
be used for any long-term studies where animals of dif-
ferent ages and/or sizes may be used.

major neoplastic diseases observed were hematopoictic

In general. the same spectrum of diseases was observed
in the smoke- and sham-exposed mice. The distribution
of lesions and the latency of occurrence, however,
seemed to be influenced by smoke exposure or shittt-

" The highest level of silrnificanee for the difference between the smoke- and sham+zposed wouos and
the time at which the differenc,
occurred are gi~en. These dacs were determined from ehi-aquare analysis of each of the lesions or
erouos of lesioeu ata-wk Interrsu ever tiu
eouru of the study (up to 1.120 days on tett).
' Respiratory tract tissues included lung. larynz, tnckea. nacal oavity, and middle ear (ue
"blaterials and Methods'1.
"tilaterials and Methods"). Thus the total ntunbers of
animals that died could be divided into those that died
of factors unrelated to their laions (i.e.. random factors)
and those that likely died as a result of their lesions (i.e..
nonrandom factors). Assuming that the animals died as
a result of these tumots yields the analysis shown in
table 3. In this actuarial analysis, the total number of
animals at risk was 304 and 379 in the smoke- and sham-
exposed groups. respectively. Analysis of this subset of
the population showed that there was no difference in
the incidence or latency of A.4C between the smoke- and
sham-exposcd mice.
Table 4 presents the results of the analysis of another
subset of the population. where only thtsse animals that
were determined to be randomly taken off the test were
studied. In this case the numbers of animals found nr-
rying lung tumors were compared to the numbers of
animals that were observed not carrying the tumor. In
this analysis. a total of 7 animals were found with AAC,
and all were in smoke-exposed animals. The final inc-
dence of 7A.iC of 4 74 smoke-exposed animals is sienifi-
cantly higher than 0AAC of 272 sham-exposed anirttals
(chi-square statistic = 4.18: P=.04). The month-by-
month cumulative, probabilitl. however, never reached a
level of significance of MOS (see table 4).
Similar analyses were done on all the lesions listed in
table 2. The respiratory tract lesions found to be signifi
cantly higher in smokeexposed mice were PAMA and
otitis media. PAMA was found only in the smoke-
exposed animals. and approximately 35% of all mice
that died during the last 4 months of smoke exposure
had this lesion. For some unknown reason, pulmonary
congestion was found to bc higher in the sham-exposed
animals than in the smoke-exposed animals.
Certain other nonrespiratory traa lesions were also
analyzed by the methods described above. Table 2 shows
that the incidence of head-neck fibrosarcomas was st3
nificantly higher in the smoke-exposed 'animals than ii
the sham-exposed animals. Analysis by actuaria
methods also showed significant dillerenees (data nc
shown). However, the incidence of nephtitis and hemt
copoietic talncers (i.a, leukemias. lymphosareornas. an
reticulum cell sarcomas) was significantly higher in th
sham-exposed animals than in the smoke-exposed mic:
This latter observation would seem to be an example c
competing risks, when the oceutsena of a specific lesio
was altered by the simultaneous expression of anotte
disease procea: that removed the animal from the studt
G1SCUSS1oN .
The results of this study suggest that 2R1 cigaret
smoke has weak carcinogenic activity in mouse lurr
tissue. No bronchogenie squamous cell eareinontas we
observed in any of these animals. AAC, as well as ot2t
alveologenic lesions. were observed in smoke-es:pose
animals, and the incidence was higher in the smok
exposed aaitssals than in the sham-exposed anitna:
The difference in incidence of these AAC and oth
alveologenic lesions. however, never reached the level
significance of MOS. The data suggested that the I
!ency for the oecurratce of these tumors is shorter in t:
smoke-exposed animals (Ps.10; see table 2).
Various methods of analyses were performed on the
dats, including incorporation of other alveologer
lesions with the lung cancers and analysis of subsets
the population of animals that were categorized as
cause of death (i.e.. random vs. nonrnndom). In tener
these analyses yielded no significant differences betwe
the smoke- and sham-exposed groups. However. :

cumulative dose of smoke. These data regarding PAMA
give biologial evidencc that the smoke paruttilates
cached thc alveolar regions of the lung. Further evi-
dence that the smoke particulates reached other anms of
the respiratory tract can be seen from the increased
incidence and decreased latency of otitis media. 'Me eu-
stachian tube with its ciliated epithelium was likely a
portal of entry for these inhaled materials and would
seem to have been impacted by smoke exposure.
Exposure to 2R1 cigarette smoke also resulted in
significantly increased incidence and deaeased latency
of head and neck fibrosarcomas. The mechanism by
which these tumors develop is unclear. Whether such
factors as localized deposition of smoke particulates in
this area and/or the relative severity of neck cuts or
abrasions caused by chronic restraint played a role in the
formation of these tumors is not known at this time- In
nts. chronic exposure to cigarette smoke has been asso-
ciatrd with inceued incidence of tumors of the forelegs
(21). In these studies the rats were exposed to smoke in
whole-body tubes. It was suggested that these tumors
resulted from the combination of smoke particulate
deposition on the forelegs and the presence of abrasions
on the forelegs caused by the method of restraint
The dose of dgarette smoke given in this study was
limited by the inhermt toxicity of this particular
cigarette smoke for this strain of tnioe- Following expo-
sure to 6-8 puffs of 2R1 cigarette smoke, the dose was
estimated to be 125-200 µg TPM/lung/day. Previous
studies with another cigarette type (high tar and low
nicotine) have shown that up to 1 mg TPM/lung/day
was given (J). Additionally, the exposure regiasett uti-
lired about the first one-half of the 2RI cigarette. It is
not known whether the first one-half of the cigarette has
different biological activity compared to that of the
other one-half. Thus the smoke exposure conditions
used in this study (low dose and first one-half of the
cigarette) may not have been optimal to detect signifi-
cant biological or carcinogenic activity.
In drawing conclusions from this study, several alter-
natives are possible. The first is that the mouse may not
be a good model for long-term human cigarette smoke
inhalation studies. Mice are obligate nose breathers.
have a turbinate structure different from that of humans.
have a shorter life-span. do not actively inhale smoke as
do humans. and are more sensitive to certain smoke-
associated chemicals (e.g., nicotine) that limit the dose
of smoke that can be given. All of these factors tend to
mitigate against rodents as an implicit model for human
inhalation studies. On the other hand, the mouse
appears to be a good model for the study of the effects of
smoke inhalation as noted by the following: Lung and
kidney aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylases are inaeased in
smoke-exposed mice (6, 7. 10); the number of sister
chromatid exchanges in bone marrow cells is increased
in smoke-exposed mice (8. 9); PAMA is ineteased in
smoke-exposed mice; DNA repair capaeity of lung tissue
from smoke-exposed mice is approximately 50% inhib-
ited (!2); DNA synthesis in lung tissue from smoke-
exposed mice is increased up to twentyfold (10): and

squamous cell ardnotna can be produced in these mioe
at high incidence with known cltemial csrdnogens
(1.6).
A further alternative to this latter observation is that
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are poor model chemi
nls to use for biologic activity of dgarette smoke. In
generat, rodents have not been observed to develop high
incidences of lung ancer following exposure to cigarette
smoke (see reviews (22. 2J)l. Notable among these many
studies is that bronchogenic.aquamous cell nrdnoma
has been observed only in I rat (FS44) after exposure to
cigarette smoke (21). In this cast, 10 respiratory tract
tumors were observed in 7 of 80 animals (9L), with the
difference between smoke-exposed and sham<xposed
rats reported to be significant at P5.05. The tumots
were reported to be I adenonrdrwtna and I squamous
cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity and 5 sdenomas,
2 alveologenic cazsinomas, and I squamous cell nrts-
noma of the lung (21L
Extensive studies by Dontenwill et a). (24. 2f).using
randombred Syrian~o lden hamsters have indicated sig-
nifiant changes in laryngeal tissues after smoke ezpo
sure, including laryngeal tsrcinoma, with little or no
changes reported in the lung. Using inbred Syrian
golden hamstezz. Bernfeld et al. (26. 27) have reported
neoplastic changes itt the larynx of hamsters exposed to
sraoke, with few changes reported in the lung. Bronc(to-
genic squamous cell carcinomas have not been reported
in either mice or hamsters after exposure to cigarette
smoke, although the incidence of AAC has been reported
inaased in anice (28, 29).
A second alternative condusion to this study is thas
the smoke exposure conditions did not reflect the "true"
biological potential of this 2R1 cigarette smoke. Ap-
proaci.taately the first one-half of the cigarette was used.
and relatively low levels of TPM were deposited. #nainly
benuse the high nicotine content ot the cigarette
limited the dose. Additional studies with other dgarette
types will have to be done to test this alternative.
A third alternative is that cigarette smoke alone has
fairly weak'biolofic activity and that the data in rodents
refleu this activtty. The high biological accivity and
response observed in human smokers (23, 30) may be a
result of a combination of faaors, which so far have
failed to be duplicated in the laboratory setting.
