Exposure to many carcinogens in vivo has been shown to result
in damage to DNA which can be detecte3 as single strand breaks
using an alkaline elution (AE) assay. We propose to characterize
the AE assay simultaneously using two specific approaches: 1) as a
tool in predicting lung tumorigenic capacity of chemical carcinogens,
and 2) as a tool in predicting the capacity of the chemicals In
cigarette smoke to interact with lung DNA in vivo. Using our model
systems for lung carcinogenesis and cigarette smoke inhalation, we
intend to address the foliowing questions:
1. Can damage to lung DNA be detected after intratracheal
(IT) treatment with chemicals under conditions where
these chemicals inducellung carcinomas?
2. For a particular-class of chemical carcinogens, Is there
a correlation between conditions that yield high inci-
dences of lung carcinomas and amount of DNA damage?
3. Is the amount of lung DNA damage related to the capacity
of lung tissue to metabolize these chemicals?

8. Brief statement of 'working hypolhcsis:
Our working hypothesis Is that chemical carcinogens or the metabo-
lites of the carcinogens have the potential to Interact with DNA and
that this interaction or DNA damage is one of the early steps In the
carcinogenic process. This DNA damage can be quantitated in vivo
by a simple, sensitive, short-term, and inexpenstve techni uqe w~ ch
measures the rate at which this damaged DNA elutes from a filter
under alkaline conditions. In this way, a method that has the
capacity to quantitate one of the earliest presumed steps In the
initiatlon of carcinogenesis can be s ecificall used to address the
question of defining those classes o c em ca s and those in vivo
conditions responsible for determining the susceptibility _oT 'iung
tissue to chemical carcinogenesis. .

I. Background
Many chemicals tho.ght to be toxins, mutagens, or carcinogens are
believed to exert their effects through interactions with DNA. This
interaction can be a covalent attachment of the chemital to a s peci-
fic nucleotide, an Intercalation between bases which resultsiin helix
distortion, a cross-linking between nucleotides on opposing DNA strands
- or phosphotrlester formation (see reviews 1, 2, 3). Such damage can
' cause localized perturbations In the DNA structure and either directly
lead to single-stranded breaks, or indirectly result In single
stranded breaks formed because of the action of endonucleases (part
of the normal repair processes). The amount of damage can be quan-
titated by measuring the size of the DNA strands after exposure to
alkaline conditions (>pH 12.0). Exposure to alkali results in the
unwinding of the double strands of DNA and the size of these strands
can be directly quantitated by either alkaline-sucrose gradient
(ASG) centrifugation (4) or alkaline elutlon (AE) (5, 6, 7).
The ASG method is tedious, time-consuming, limited in the number
of individual assays that can be performed, and sometimes suffers
from poor recovery 8f labeled DNA. Moreover, single strand sizes of
up to only 2-5 x 10 daltons can be measured (8). Above this size,
no generally applicable method has been available. The AE assay,on
the other hand, provides size measurements of extremely long DNA
single strands (7). This assay has been used to study DNA replica-
tion (9), DNA repair followin X-ray exposure (10), DNA scission In
cells treated with bleomycin ?il), and DNA cross-linking in cells
treated with nitrogen mustard or with chloroethylnitrosoureas (12).
The AE method is based on the very simp le Idea of re~ainin cells
in which the DNA has been prelabeled with 3H-Thymidine ( H-TdR~ on
poly (vinylchloride) filters, lysing the cells on the filters, and
eluting the DNA from the filters in an alkaline buffer (pH 12.2).
The elution rate seems to be governed by the properties of the DNA
itself because:(7)

Continutation of Details of Experimental Design and Procedures:
a) almost all non-DNA material 1s removed by the
lysis solution Including protein, lipids and
memb ranes,
b) removal of protein with proteinase-K and RNA by
ribonuclease does not alter the elutlon kinetics,
therefore,proteln and RNA play no role In the DNA
elution,
c) the rate of DNA elution is independent of the
number of cell~ on the filter in the range of
0.1 - 2.0 x 10 cells; therefore, retention on
the filter does not depend on the aggregation
or trapping of DNA strands in a large-scale
d) conditions that cause DNA shearing result In an
immediate and striking Increase in DNA elution,
0
e) retention of DNA Is independent of the filter
material, also essentlally independent of pore
size from 1-5 µm,
f) DNA under alkaline conditions is susceptible to'
strand scission by visible light (13), and the
elution of DNA is markedly sensitive to exposure
to room light.
The limit of sensitivity of the AE assay has been estimated
following exposure to low-level X-rays. Th int ajeil lar NA

Current speculation is that the rate-limiting process Involves
the search for a molecular conformation that will allow a long DNA
single strand to be pulled through a single filter pore. Since
the strand dimensions are much larger than the filter pores,
portions of a single strand may be pulled through many pores at
the same time. Elution must require that the strand segment In
one pore acquire enough dominance to pull the entlre strand
th rough .
The AE assay can be streamlined Into a rap id and inexpensive
method to test the capacity of unknown chemicals to Induce damage
to DNA (5,6). Moreover, the AE assay can be used In the Presence
of exogenous metabolic activation systems (6). Assay of 46 differ-
ent chemicals(with and without metabolic activation) Indicate that
every known carcinogen causes DNA damage (ncluding such weakly active
chemicals as safrole, DDT, dieldrin and cyclophosphamide, while all
non-carcinogens yield no DNA damage (5). Recent studies In our
laboratory suggest that the amount of damage to DNA Imparted by
benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is directly related to the aryl hydrocarbon
hydroxylase (AHH) levels in tissue hemogenates from lung or liver,

~ and not the level of epoxide hydrase (14). Thus, at least In 1n
vitro systems, the amount of BaP metabolized to forms that cause
YNA aamage, parallels quite nicely the amount of BaP metabolized
to 3-OH BaP (i.e., AHH activity).
The AE assay can also be used to quantitate the level of DNA
damage following In vivo exposure of chemical carcinogens (5,15).
This DNA ls prelabel'ey 3H-TdR andthe DNA detected by radio-
metric means, or directly measured by a fluorometric method (15).
DNA damage can be assessed in liver, lung, thymus, brain, kidney,
stomach, duodenum, colon, bone marrow and mammary gland (5,15).
Most direct acting carcinogens (e.g. N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroso-
guanidine (MNNG), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea,
methyl methanesulfonate, and ethyl methanesulfonate) caused sig-
nificant DNA damage in target and non-target organs, but ten other
known chemical carcinogens induced the greatest DNA damage In the
target organs for carcinogeniclty (5). In fact, dimethylhydrazine,
a potent colon carcinogen, causes dose-dependent DNA damage In
colonic tissue, and strains of mice that are susceptible to di-
methylhydrazine-induced colonic cancers are more sensitive to DNA
damage in this tissue, than are strains that are resistant to the
tumorigenic effect of this chemical (15)'.
Since there Is adequate evidence that methods for evaluating '
the capacity of a compound to damage DNA and to Initiate DNA
repair may be utilized as a rapid prescreening test for assessing
potential carcinogenic activity (5,15), this evidence coupled with
the relative ease and sensitivity of the AE assay suggests a rather
straight forward, sensitive, short-term bioassay that should be able
to quantitatively evaluate the kind of chemicals and the In vivo
conditions necessary for optimal induction of lung cancer.-T~F e-
animal model developed In our laboratories for the defined chemical
induction of lung cancer ts described below. The use of this model
in cigarette smoke lnhalation studies is also described. Both the
chemical induction of lung tumors and bioevaluation of cigarette
smoke require long-term studies (one year or longer) before an
effect can be observed or the lack of an effect can be determined to
besignificant. Hence, the desirability of the AE assay as a sensl-
tive, short-term test which would show direction In the chronic,
long-term In vivo studies.
Doses of 250 µg MCA given intratracheally one, two, four and
six times to C3H/Anf Cum mice yielded approximately 35, 45, 76 and
77% lung carcinomas, respectively, within one year after treatment
(Table i). Doses of 1.2 mg BaP given Intratracheally five, ten
and fifteen times to C3H/Anf mice yielded approximately 19, 15 and
24% tumor Incidences within one year after treatment. The derivative,
7,8-dlhydro dth ydroxybenzo(a)pyrene (BaP-7,8 diol), is much more
tumort genic to lung tissue than is the parent chemical, BaP. Data
in Table 1 show that IT administration of 250 µg BaP-7,8-dlol given
five times at biweekly intervals results In approximately 40-50%
lung carcinomas after about one year after treatment. The tumors

observed In these experiments Include bronchogenic squamous cell
c arcinoma, squamous neoplasm, alveolar adenocarcinoma and alveolar
adeno-squamous carcinoma. These malignant lesions have been defined
and characterized In the mouse and are representative of the major
classes of the lung cancers found In man. The characterization of
these lesions In our model animal systems has included a descrip-
tion of the pathogenesis of these lesions; that is, a documentation
of the steps Involved In the progress'ton or formation of the tumors
from specific preneopl-asttc lesions (Table 2). This model system
has also been characterized for levels of aryl hydrocarbon hydrox-
ylase (AHH) In the pulmonary tissues of inbred strains of mice after
IT inoculation of chemical carcinogens (16), and the susceptibil-
ity of lung tissue to cancers induced by these chemicals is geneti-
c ally linked to the capacity of lung tissue to metabolize these
chemicals (see Appendlx A). Thus, we have an In vivo model system
for lung cancer that is sensitive, well-characterTzed, analogous to
the human situation, and specifically dependent on the capacity of
the lung tissue itself for the bioactivation of these chemicals to
forms carcinogenic tothe lung.
It is interesttng to note that an Inhibitor of MFO activlty dl-
sulfiram, has been shown to alter the amount of hepatic DNA damage
induced In rats by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (23). In addition, multi-
ple feeding of disulfiram has also been shown to alter and delay the
onset of hepatocarclnogenesls induced by DEN (24). Thus a known ln-
hlbttor of MFO activity Is capable of altering the amount of DNA damage
Induced by a chemical requiring these enzymes for bioactlvations.
This murine lung model s ystem has been utilized In our labora-
tories for evaluating the biological activity of whole cigarette
smoke In vivo. Cigarette smoke has been characterized as a weak
carcinogen orto-carclnogen and hypothetically can exert Its effects
at various stages during the process of tumor formation and ex-
pression (see discussion, 25). Cigarette smoke contains between
5,000 and 10,000 chemicals (17), however, only a few have been
characterized with regard to concentration In smoke and potential
biological activity. Experiments evaluating the carcinogenic
potential of such a complex chemical mixture as cl garette smoke In
animal models must satisfy several specific criteria matnly because
cigarette smoke possesses, at best, very weak biological activity.
Thus, conditions must be found that mimic those that exist for man;
thatis, exposure for long periods of time (in humans 30-40 years)
at fairiy hl gh levels (3-4 packs/day), and then oniy 0.5-2% of the
subjects will be observed to have smoke-associated lung cancers.
The smoke exposure conditions presently in use In our labora-
tory for the inbred strains of mice have been developed to assure
maximal de posltion of total particulate matter (TPM) In the lung.
Fresh, whole cigarette smoke ls generated using the Smoke Exposure
Machine (SEM 11, Process and Instruments, Brooklyn, N1(.), delivered
as a smoke aerosol (0.3-0.5 µm mass median diameter) to the animal
containment unit (Figure I). The mice are restrained In stock-
type head restraint trays (5 mlce/tray) which are placed on the

~ supports of the polycarbonate module In the animal containment
unit for smoke exposure. Smoke Is delivered through a channel
In the polycarbonate module,into which the noses of the mice
protrude. A soft rubber dam material provides a seal around the
nose to prevent smoke leakage. Mice are obligate nose breathers
and this exposure system, therefore, forces the mice to breathe
the air or smoke provided In the channel (see Figure 1).
The deposition and distribution of TPM In SC3F1lCum mice
after exposure to cigarettes In the SEM 11 system has been
characterized and representative data are shown In Table 3 and
Figure 2. Such dosimetry experiments utilize a radioactive tracer
1n the cigarette smoke to quantitate the TPM distributed through-
out the body of the mouse after smoke exposure. The SEM 11 allows
the smoke concentration and exposure time to be varied and as the
results Indicate, a dose response is obtained for TPM In the lung
with Increasing smoke concentration or Increasing smoke exposure
time. Elghty-90% of the TPM was found In the total respiratory
tract of the mouse (head, larynx and lung) and 60-80% of the TPM was
found 1n the lung itself. The deposition In the lung represents
80-90 µg TPM per cigarette at the lon ger exposure times (200-300
seconds total). Mice can tolerate this level of exposure fairly
well and doses of 10 cigarettes per day (Kentucky reference 2A1
cigarettes) have routinely been used for periods of longer than
~ one year. This dose of 10 ctgarettes per day results In almost
I mg TPM/day mouse lung or 50 mg TPM/kg body weight, which Is
equivaient to a human smoker exposed to the smoke from 3-4 packs
of cigarettes per day (18).
The capacity of clgarette smoke to induce pulmonary DNA
d amage requires several approaches In order to be bhoroughly
evaluated. The question addressed Is whether there are chemicals
in cigarette smoke which Interact with DNA and whether this lnter-
action can be detected as damage by the AE assay. The most direct
approach Is to expose mice to known quantlties of smoke and monitor
the DNA damage at various times after the exposure.
The use of whole smoke alone, however, precludes ascribing
~ the effect (i.e., DNA damage) to specific chemicals or even a class
of chemicals. Condensates of whole cigarette smoke (20) and frac-
tionation of those condensates (21) represent one of the only
logical methods for breaking down the complex chemical mixtures
found in smoke into some workable number of subcomplexes. The
procedures for making clgare.tte smoke condensates (CSC) and the
resulting fractions (CSCFs) have been previously discussed (20,
~ 21,22) and are only briefly described here. Cigarettes are smoked
i
on an analytical smoking machine using a two-second puff of 35 ml
volume, once a minute to a butt iength of not less than 20 mm.
The smoke is condensed In traps cooled in a dry-ice acetone mixture
and the condensate removed from the traps with acetone. The
solvent is removed In vacuo at a low temperature and the conden-
sate stored under nlcrogen at -20°C or lower until fractionation.

~ Continuation of Details of Experimental Design and Procedures:
The fractionation scheme is given In Table 6. Twelve fractions
are obtained. A reconstituted sample was prepared by pooling
one-third portions of each fraction. This reconstituted material
(RCM) is needed to control for possiblE. alterations in chemical
composition during the fractionation procedure. The need for
standardization of procedures and establishment of quality stand-
ards in this area has been recognized (20,22). The twelve con-
densate fractions and reconstituted material from several research
cigarettes are available to us for evaluation as potential Inducers
of pulmonary DNA damage (Table 8).
As discussed previously, compounds which can alter MF0 activ-
ity can alter lung cancer susceptibility and DNA damage caused by
other chemicals as measured by the AE assay (23). Cigarette smoke
and CSC contain chemicals which lnduce pulmonary AHH and theoret-
ically could alter the lung cancer susceptibility and amount of
DNA damage induced by other chemical carcinogens. The effect of
whole cigarette smoke In altering the amount of DNA damage caused
by other chemicals may require long-term studies in ll yht of recent
information from our laboratories. In collaboration with Dr. R.
Rasmussen, we have observed that whole cigarette smoke is capable
of lnhibiting DNA repair capacity in an in vitro assay (Table 7),
however, the effect Is not observed unttl-after 2-3 months of con-
tinuous exposure (Table 7). Even though DNA repair is inhlbited
, in this assay, the role of this lnhibition on the DNA damage or
' persistence of this damage Induced by other chemicals is diffi-
culttio predict. There could be an enhancement of the effect,
tnhtbition or no effect on DNA damage.lnduced ]M vivo.
Special Considerations
The Departments of Experimental and Biochemical Oncology
possess special expertise required for:
1. Short-term and long-term animal handling under conditions
where such factors as adventitious agents, parasites, and housing
conditions that may alter the carcinogen metabolizing capacity
of the Inbred strains of mice are well controlled.
2. On-hand and in-depth experience in the model systems
for inducing lung cancers in the Inbred strains of mice.
3. On-hand and In-depth experience In exposing the in-
bred strains of mice to varying doses of whole cigarette smoke
under a variety of exposure conditions.
4. More than a year.of experience in analyzing the
amount of DNA damage produced In mammalian cells using the
alkaline elution assay. This experience includes on-slte
visits by the departmental staff to the laboratories of
Drs. J. Swenberg and G. Petzold of the Upjohn Corporation to
gain first-hand experience at the nuances of this assay
precedure.

A. Evaluation of AE assay as a tool In predicting
lung tumorigenic capaclty of chemical carcinogens.
1. Can damage to lung DNA be detected after
intratracheal (IT) treatment with chemicals under conditions
where these chemicals lnduce carcinomas?
Intraperitoneal trea'tment with such chemicals
as dimethylnitrosamine, 4-nltroqulnoline-N-oxide (4-NQO),
1,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, ethylnitrosourea, methyl
methanesulfonate (5) and subcutaneous or oral treatment
with dimethylhydrazine (15) all cause damage to lung tissue
DNA as measured by the AE assay. The major question 1s,
can the AE assay detect DNA damage In lung tissue under
conditions where a significant incidence-of malignant lung
carcinomas will eventuate? The question will be addressed
by measuring the amount of DNA damage in lung tissue using
the AE assay at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 24 and 48 hours
after IT instillat-ton of MCA, BaP, and BaP-7,8 diol to
female SC3F1 mice. The procedure for the AE assay ls given
in Table 4. The negative control will be the 0.2% gelatin-
saline vehicle and the positive control will be 2.0 mg
4-NQO given IT to these mice. Recent studies In our labo-
ratory have indicated that an In vitro positive control
_ should also be Incorporated Into tFiTs test to insure that
' the buffers, filters, lysing solution etc. are functional.
This control will be MNNG-treated V-79 cells (treated In
culture) that are stored frozen at -120°C until assayed.
The total DNA eluted from the filter will be determtned
simultaneously method (the animals will be
IP treated as neonates with a total of 150 pCI 3H-TdR over
a 3 week period of time and a fluorometric method (15,19).
This latter technique, although a little less sensitive,
has the advantage of not requiring prelabelling of the DNA.
This is especially Important when analyzing for DNA damage
after multiple treatments with these carcinogens, because
the In vivo labeling Index of lung tissue has a halflife
of abou`=-3 weeks and thus by 6-9 weeks the ability to
detect DNA damage may be severely impaired because of an
Inability to detect the DNA which may elute f rom the filters.
2. For a particular class of chemical carcinogens,
is there a correlation between conditions that yield high
Incidence of lung carcinomas and amount of DNA damage?
The major factors that Influence lung cancer
susceptibility In BC3F1 mice are type of chemical carcinogen
and dose of carcinogen. The data from section 1 should
determine those conditions whereby MCA, BaP, or BaP-7,8 dlol
_ Induce lung DNA damage. The second approach will be to use
_s various doses of MCA (10-500 jig) and BaP (600-1800 µg) and
various times of treatment (1-6 times) in order to observe

if the extent of DNA damage parallels the ultimate suscepti-
bility of that organ to cFiemical carcinogenesis after a
specific dose and treatment. Thus, we propose to evaluate
the extent of DNA damage at only 2-3 times after multiple IT
treatments with these chemlcals (e.g. 2, 4 and 6 hours, the
exact time will be determined by the results of thE study
in section 1).
3. Is the amount of lung DNA damage related to the
capacity of lung tissue to metabolize these chemicals?
The answer to this question also provides support
for the question addressed in section ii. That is, strains
of mice are variable in their susceptibility to lung cancer
induced by MCA and this variability at least partly results
from the relative levels of those enzymes capable of metabo-
lizing this chemical carcinogen (see Appendex A). Therefore,
by measuring the amount of DNA damage in various strains
of mice with known AHH levels following IT treatment with
MCA, we can determine not only if the levels of AHH are
playing an'important role, but also if this damage parallels
the ultimate susceptibility of these strains to MCA-induced
lung cancers.
We propose to answer this question by measuring
the amount of DNA damage in lung tissue of B6D2F1 x D2 mice
following IT treatment with MCA. These progeny animals
represent an ideal model system, because the capacity to
recognize MCA and metabolize this chemical to a variety of
biologically active forms segregates as a sin e autos.omal dominant
gene in this cross (see Appendix B for discus3~ on). Thus 50% of the
progeny animals from this cross will be capable of responding to
the IT-instilled MCA by Increased )evels of pulmonary AHH,
and 50% will not. The genetic linkage that may exist In
lung tissue between AHH responsiveness, cancer susceptibility,
and degree of DNA damage can, therefore, be unequivocably
obtained. Approximately only 20 B6D2F1 x D2 animals would
have to be analyzed in order to arrive at this conclusion.
A simple method of confirming the relationship
between AHH responsiveness and amount of pulmonary DNA
damage ls based on the observation that there exists a
chemical that can specifically alter the AHH capacity of
the genetically non-responsive strains of mice. That is,
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo(p)dioxin (TCDD) treatment of
DBA/2 mice will result in increased AHH levsls. Thus,
TCDD-treated D2 mice have AHH capacities very similar to that
of the responsive B6 strain. TCDD, under conditions where
it induces AHH in D2 mice, selectively enhances the tumor
susceptibil ity of this strain (see Appendix ). The most
direct test for establishing a relationship between AHH
levels and amount of DNA damage in pulmonary tissue is
to compare the level and kinetics of DNA damage in control
MCA-pretreated, and TCDD-treated D2 strains of mice.

Continuation of Details of Experimental Design and Procedures:
If the AHH enzyme complex plays a major role in determining
the amount of pulmonary DNA damage induced by MCA, BaP and/or
BaP-7,8 diol, then TCOD should specifically enhance the sus-
ceptibility of the D2 mice to this DNA damage. The effect
of co-treatment and pre-treatment with TCDD will be carried
out In a manner similar to that described in manuscript
form in Appendix C.
B. Characterization of the AE assay as a tool In
predicting the capacity of the chemicals in cigarette smoke
to interact with lung DNA In vivo.
1. Does whole cigarette smoke contain chemicals
capable of causing damage to lung DNA as detected by the
AE assay?
The general approach will be to expose mice
to a known quantity of smoke and monitor damage to pulmonary
DNA at various times after the exposure. Several variables
will be examined: 1) the exposure conditions Including the
cigarette type (hi h vs low nicotine), the smoke concentration,
the total dose; 23 exposure of different strains of mice to
determine whether a difference exists in susceptibility to
smoke-induced damage, and 3) exposure for various lengths
of time to determine long-term effects of smoke exposure.
The smoking conditions currently In use In our
laboratory utilize the SEM II, the Kentucky reference 2A1
or 2R1 cigarettes at a smoke concentration of 10%, total
exposure time of 300 or 200 seconds Per ctgarette, respectlvely.
Shorter exposure time is used for the 2R1 cigarette because
of the high nicotine content and resulting toxicity. A
description of the reference cigarettes is given In Table 5.
BC3FI/Cum mice (7-8 weeks of age) will be adapted to smoke
from the 2A1 or 2R1 cigarettes under adaptation procedures
requiring 3 weeks to reach an exposure level of 2 cigarettes
per day. The AE assay will be performed on adapted mice
exposed to: 1) one 2A1 cigarette, 10% smoke concentration,
300 seconds exposure time, and 2) one 2R1 cigarette, 10%
smoke, 200 seconds exposure time.
Mice of the same age but unadapted to smoke
will be exposed once on the day the AE assay Is performed.
Mice used as machine controls will serve as ne ative controls
and mice treated IT with 4-NQO (2 mg per mouse) will serve
as positive controls. The AE assay will be performed at 0.5,
1, 4, 6, 8, 24 and 48 Fiours post exposure. I f any DNA
damage Is observed under the conditions of 300 or 200 seconds
total exposure time for 2A1 or 2R1 cigarettes, respectively,
then a dose response curve will be determined for Increasing
smoke concentration and varying total exposure times. If
no DNA damage is observed after one 2A1 or one 2R1 cigarette,
the number of cigarettes per day will be lncreased to 5 and
then 10 and the AE assay performed at the times indicated
after the last cigarette offered.

Continuation of Details of Experimental Design and Procedures:
If an effect is observed with one cigarette type but not
the other, the cigarettes listed in Table 5 will be evaluated
under the same conditions In which DNA damage was observed.
The optimal conditions for Inducing DNA damage
by cigarette smoke will be determined using BC3F1/Cum mice.
These conditions will be used to evaluate the effects of
whole cigarette smoke in two other strains, the C3H/Anf (C3)
and DBA/2 (D2). The C3 and 02 represent extremes In sensi-
tivity to PAH induced carcinogenesis, the C3 being most
sensitive, while the D2 Is resistant. The BC3F1 strain Is
presently being evaluated and the C3 and D2 strains are
scheduled for evaluation as model strains for the determi-
natlon of carcinogenic and/or cocarcinogenic capacity of
whole cigarette smoke during lifetime exposure.
Using the optimal times for detecting pulmonary
DNA damage determined in the above, BC3F1/Cum mice chronically
exposed to cigarette smoke will be monitored by the AE assay
at monthly Intervals for one year for DNA damage.
2. Are tliQre chemlcals In smoke as represented by
cigarette smoke condensate and condensate fractions whic h
have the capacity to cause damage to DNA as detected by the
AE assay?
As discussed in the Background (section 1), a
logical extension of the studies evaluating the potential
damaging effects of whole cigarette smoke on lung DNA is
the use of cigarette smoke condensates and fractions
derived from the condensates. This approach would not only
confirm the result of using whole smoke, but also, should
give indications of the type or class of chemicals that
may be responsible for these effects. Cigarette smoke
condensates from different cl garettes have been made avail-
able to us and are currently being stored at -120°C. The
CSC material will be lnitlally dissolved in acetone, vi gorously
added to 0.2% gelatln-saline solution, the acetone will
then be removed, leaving a working suspension of CSC in
gelatin-saline. CSC from 3A1 and 2R1 ci garettes will be
evaluated in BC3F /Cum mice after IT administration for
the capacity to induce DNA damage using the AE assay. The
3A1 and 2R1 cigarettes represent low and high nicotine
containing cigarettes (Table 5). If differences are observed
between the 3A1 and 2R1 condensates, then 2A1 and 1R3 con-
densate material (representing low and intermediate nicotine
containing cigarettes,'Table 5) will be evaluated under
conditions where the effect is scen.
The twelve cigarette smoke condensate fractions
(Table 6) and the reconstituted material from the 3A1 and
2111 cigarettes will be evaluated after intratracheal inocu-
lation into BC3F1/Cum mice by the AE assay. The strong acid
fractions will be neutralized with IN NaOH so as to a void
acid-associated toxicity.

Continuation of Details of Experimental Design and Procedures:
The dose response will be determined for each CSCF and an
LDSO dose determined. This dose and two dilutions of this
dose will be evaluated for the capacity to damage DNA.
3. Does exposure to whole cigarette smoke alter
the DNA damage induced by other chemicals?
Cigarette smoke contains chemicals which alter
MFO activity and hypothetically,such chemicals may have
the potential to al.ter DNA damage induced by other chemicals
(see Background, section 1). An experiment designed to
test this hypothesis Is outlined 1n the accompanying table
(Table 9). The general approach will be to expose mice
to cigarette smoke for one year. At several times during
the year, mice will be treated IT with a chemical known to
induce DNA damage (see section II.A.1). The AE assay will
be performed at monthly intervals for one year. Results
from the chemically-treated smoke exposed mice will be
compared to chemically-treated machine control mice. Variations
on this approach will include evaluation of different ciga-
rette types (Table 5), different chemicals, different
mouse strains, and different treatment schedules.

The studies described in the Progress Report (section 12) demonstrate
that the alkaline elution assay may be used to quantitate the amount of
chemical ly-i nduced damage to pulmonary DNA. A series of standardized pro-
tocols have been developed in order to make this assay efficient, sensi-
tive and reproducible. A major question that was answered during this
first year of work is that a non-radiometric assay can be used to quanti-
tate the DNA. A fluorometric assay was developed and standardized so that
DNA levels in the order of 0.1-0.3 ug/ml can be routinely detected.
A. Two studies are presently on test and will be completed during the
next year.
1. Evaluation of ability of MCA, B P, 7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxy -BP
(BP-7,8-diol) to induce damage to pulmonary DNA.
These chemicals have previously been shown to be carcinogenic
to lung tissue by our laboratory. Under these conditions of inducing
lung carcinomas, the chemicals will be given intratracheally (IT) to
BC3F1 female mice and the rate of DNA elutlon at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0,
8.0, 24 and 48 hours will be determined. The positive control will b e
4-riitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) and 0.2% gelatin-saline
will be the negative control.
2. Measurement of the damage induced by certain lung carcinogens
(e.g. MCA and BP-7,8-diol) following multiple treatments. The
carcinogenicity of both MCA and BP-7,8-diol is enhanced by multi-
treatments given IT at biweekly intervals. We will evaluate the
amount of DNA damage induced by 1,3 and 6 treatments of those
two chemicals. The exact times at which those assays will be done
will be determined by the data generated in the previous study.

B. Studies to be initiated during this second. year.
1. Evaluation of the capacity of whole cigarette smoke to damage
pulmonary DNA.
The general approach will be to expose mice to known quantities
of whole smoke and monitor damage to pulmonary DNA at various times
after the exposure. Several variables will be examined: a) the
immediate exposure conditions, including the cigarette type (high vs
low nicotine), the smoke concentration, and the total dose, b) ex-
posure of different strains of mice to determine whether a difference
exists in susceptibility to smoke-induced damage, and c) exposure
for various lengths of time to determine long-term effects of smoke
exposure.
These studies have not been initiated because of the higher
priority assigned particular supplemental studies to our smoke in-
halation program also funded by The Council for Tobacco Research.
These studies have utilized most of the available space on our
Smoke Exposure Machines (SEM) and thus long term exposure for this
proposed study will not begin until February, 1980.
In addition, the initiation of this study has been delayed by
the observation by our collaborator, Dr. R. Rasmussen, that unlike
the smoke exposure regimen used for 2A1 cigarettes, the smoke ex-
posure regimen for 2R1 cigarettes has not caused any DNA repair in-
hibition in pulmonary tissue. We presently are scheduling long-
term exposure of BC3F1 mice to 2A1, 3A1, and 2R1 cigarettes for the
simultaneous measurement of: a) DNA repair capacity, b) ability
of pulmonary tissue to decarboxylate ornithine (ornithine decarboxy-
lase is the proposed rate limiting step for promotion of the carcino-
genicis process), and c) mixed-function oxidase activity.

This study should show direction as to the type of smoke expo-
sure (and length of time of exposure) necessary to cause some bio-
chemical alteration in pulmonary tissue.
2. Evaluation of the metabolic capacity of pulmonary tissue as a
prime determinant of the amount of damage induced by MCA.
This approach-is a corollary to the studies proposed in section
A. That is, strains of mice differ in their susceptibility to lung
cancer induced by MCA. Such variability at least in part results
from the relative levels of the enzymes capable of metabolizing chem-
ical carcinogens. Therefore, by measuring the amount of DNA damage
in various strains of mice following IT treatment with MCA, we can
determine if the levels of AHH are playing an important role in the
extent of damage, and if this damage parallels the ultimate sensi-
tivity of these strains to MCA-induced lung cancers.
We propose to answer this question by measuring the amount of
DNA damage in lung tissue of B6D2F1 x 02 mice following IT treat-
ment with MCA. These progeny animals represent an ideal model sys-
tem, because the capacity to recognize MCA and metabolize this
chemical to a variety of biologically active forms segregates as a
single autosomal dominant gene in this cross. Thus 50% of the pro-
geny animals from this cross will be capable of responding to the
IT-instilled MCA by increased levels of pulmonary AHH, and 50% will
not. The genetic linkage that may exist in lung tissue between AHH
responsiveness, cancer susceptibility, and degree of DNA damage can,
therefore, be unequivocably obtained. Approximately 20 B6D2F1 x 02
animals would have to be analyzed in order to perform these studies.

A simple method of confirming the relationship between AHH res-
ponsiveness and the amount of pulmonary DNA damage is based on the
observation that there exists a chemical that can specifically alter
the AHH capacity of the genetically non-responsive strains of mice.
That is, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo(p)dioxin (TCDD) treatment of D2
mice will result in increased AHH levels. Thus. TCDD-treated D2
mice have AHH capacities very similar to that of the responsive 86
strain. TCDD, under conditions where it induces AHH in D2 mice,
selectivelyeahances the tumor susceptibility of this strain (Kouri,
~t,a.1,Can. Res. 38, 2777, 1978). The most direct test for estab-
lishing a relationship between AHH levels and the amount of DNA
damage in pulmonary tissue is to compare the rates of elution of
DNA in the alkaline elution assay in control, MCA-pretreated, and
TCDD-treated D2 strains of mice.
If the AHH enzyme complex plays a major role in determining
the amount of pulmonary DNA damage induced by MCA, BP and/or B P-
7,8-diol, then TCDD should specifically enhance the susceptibility
of the D2 mice to this DNA damage. The effect of co-treatment and
pre-treatment with TCDD will be carried out in a manner similar to
that described (Kouri gl A-1, Can Res 38: 2777, 1978).

I. Studies for the period July, 1980 to December 1980.
A. Smoke-induced DNA damage.
Our Initial results (Table 10) showed that chronic exposure to
2A1 cigarette smoke for a period of 40 weeks did not result In an in-
creased elution of DNA. We will continue to Investigate this phenomenon
in more detail using both chronically and acutely exposed animals.
Our first set of studies will involve the effects of the 2R1 ciga-
rette smoke. Male and female BC3F1 mice have been placed on chronic
exposure to high levels ( 600 L'g TPM/day) 2R1 cigarette smoke starting
in January 1980 (CTR 117). Thus, in the next six months we will test for
the existence of DNA damage In animals exposed for periods of 6, 9, or
12 months. At the same time we will test for the existence of DNA damage
in animals acutely exposed to the 2R1 cigarette smoke. These studies
should tell us:

the two week exposures to smoke from both cigarette types will also be
scheduled.
The third study will be the analysis of the lung DNA In animals
chronically exposed to low levels of 2R1 cigarette smoke (.. 200 yg/day).

The source of these animals will be CTR 101 which will have animals at
24, 30, and 36 months of smoke exposure by September 1980, March 1981
and September 1981, respectively.
B. Cigarette smoke plus chemicals as Inducers of DNA damage.
Our preliminary results studying the lnteraction of smoke exposure
in conjunction with intratracheal BaP or BaP-7,8-diol administration
showed that smoke exposure augmented the DNA damaging effects of these
compounds. (Table 11). The exact mechanism for this augmentation. i.e.
effects on carcinogen metabolism, effects on DNA repair, etc., is not

known. Duririg the next six months we will Initiate studies designed to
more fully detail the specifics of this interactlon. We will employ
both long termsmoke exposed animals (up to 12 months) as well as animals
exposed acutely (up to two weeks) to 3A1 or 2R1 cigarette smoke. These
studies should help answer a number of questions with respect to our
finding of smoke induced augmentation of BaP-7,8-diol damage, including:
1) how long an exposure to cigarette smoke ls necessary to see this lnter-
actton? 2) is there any specificity in terms of which cigarette type
can induce the interaction?
Experiments lntended to determine mechanistic questions with
respect to this Interaction will be addressed during the last year of
this grant (December 1980 - November 1981) and will be discussed in
section II.

First, attempts to optimize the use of inethyl methane sulfonate
with respect to dose, and time post administration to yield reproducible
and substantial DNA damage will be performed. These experiments will be
aimed primarily to optimize the MMS treatment conditions which will be
employed as a positive control In the in vivo lung experiments.
Second, the optimal conditions for DNA damage with BaP-7,8-dlol
or BaP will be determined so that further studies anent the Interaction of
cigarette smoke with this carcinogen can be performed. By October 1980
we will have optimized the use of this agent with respectto dose, time
post treatment,etc. Having optimized these procedures, we can then
readily screen various groups of smoked animals for the Interaction be-
tween smoke and carcinogen exposure.

II. Proposed studies for the period December 1, 1980 - November 31, 1981.
The exact nature of the studies to be performed in the last year of
this study will be significantly determined by the results obtained in
the preceding six months. The following series of experiments are scheduled.
A. Cigarette smoke exposure and pulmonary DNA damage.
By the early part of 1981 we will have animals which have been
chronically exposed to 3A1 or 2R1 cigarette smoke at a high dose daily
of TPM for up to nine months and animals exposed to 2R1 cigarette smoke
for - 30 months at a low dose of TPM. Thus, these results together with
the chronic studies previously performed (I.e. Table 11) and those to be
performed between July 1980 - December 1980 with the 3A1 and 2R1 ciga-
rettes should provide information as to: 1) whether there is any measur-
able increase in DNA damage following chronic cigarette smoke exposure,
2) does the presence or the amount of damage depend on the particular
type of cigarette employed, and 3) how long of an exposure to cigarette
smoke will be necessary to detect measurable DNA damage employing the
alkaline elution assay?
At the same time that the chronically exposed animals are being
studiedjBC3F1 female and male mice will be studied following acute (2 week)
exposure to 3A1 or 2R1 cigarette smoke. Should there prove to be signifi-
cant DNA damage following acute exposure, we will attempt to determine
the role of the Ah locus in this effect. Thus, we would expose C57BL/6
and DBA/2-derived congenic animals which differ only at the Ah locus,
being either AHH inducible or AHH non-inducible, and look for differences
in DNA damage in the two groups of mice.

The congenic line which would initially be studied would be the 86 --> 02
line where the Ahb locus from the B6 mouse has been genetically inserted
onto a D2 backgound. Thus, the study will be to compare the DNA damaging
effects of whole cigarette smoke In this congenic line compared to the D2
strain itseif. This approach Is more efficient than the previously proposed
use of B6o2F1 x D2 progeny because the congenic lines would not have to be
phenotyped for their AHH responsiveness prior to smoke exposure, and
fewer animals would have to be evaluated In order to generate significant
results. The rationale for such an approach Is that cigarette smoke contains
many chemicals that have the capacity to (nduce AHH activity and these
chemicals are more readily activated to mutagenic moieties by AHH induced
microsomes (Kouri, et al, Environ. Health Perspec. 29: 63, 1979). Together,'
these findings suggest the real possibility that genetic differences In
AHH function may regulate the lnteraction of the organism with whole
cigarette smoke.
B. Cigarette smoke exposure plus chemical carcinogens as inducers
of pulmonary DNA damage.
Mice from ongoing smoke exposure studies will be used to evaluate
the synergistic effects of BaP-7,8-d1o1 and exposure to whole cigarette
smoke in Inducing pulmonary DNA damage. The ongoing studies CTR 101,
CTR 117 and CTR 118 (from Contract 0030) wlll provide female and male BC3F1
animals which have been exposed to smoke from 2R1 and 3A1 reference ciga-
rettes for periods of time ranging from 6 months to 30 months. At -. 6 month
intervals, mice will be treated with BaP-7,8-diol intratracheally using
the conditions which are presently being standardized (see Section A-
Proposed Studies).

These studies will be a continuation of those presented In Section A.
A second approach will be to study the actual mechanism of this
BaP-7,8-diol-whole cigarette smoke interaction. The genetic system out-
lined in the previous section is proposed. That Is, mice from the congenic
~
line 86 -> D2 will be compared to the D2 strain in their susceptibility
to pulmonary DNA damage induced by BrP-7,8-diol plus cigarette smoke.
These genetic studies will be a continuation of those proposed In Section A.
Sufficient congenic animals should be available for smoke exposure by
November 1980. Studies will continue for 6, 9, and 12 months of smoke
exposure and will end by October 1981.
C. Chemical carcinogen-induced pulmonary DNA damage.
Analysis of BaP-7,8-diol pulmonary DNA damage will be done simul-
taneously with the proposed studies described In the previous section.
Both shelf controls and sham controlanimals will serve as source of animals
for determining conditions for optimal pulmonary DNA damage by this chemical.
Ongoing studies and thosescheduled for completion during the next 3-6 months
will utilize Intratracheal treatment with this diol.
We presently have the capabilities to generate aerosols of several
chemicals and these will be tested for their interactions with pulmonary DNA.
The aerosols will be yenerated using the conditions which have been used
to generate particulate aerosols of phorbol esters (Dinowitz et al. Proc.
Amer. Assoc. Cancer Res. 21: 31, 1980). A collision nebulizer has been
modified to generate an aerosol of respirable particles in ethanol or
water with an estimated mass median diameter of 0.4 micron. This aerosol
generator will be used for exposures of catechol, nicotine and tetradeconyl-
phorbol acetate(TPA) from 10-200 ug/day and for daily exposures for 1, 2,
4, 8, and 16 days. BaP and BaP-7,8-dlol have also been generated from a

DMSO/ethanol solution, and this approach is under active investigation
so that aerosols of these chemicals could be examined for their inter-
.action with pulmonary DNA. At the appropriate times after exposure,
BC3F1 mice will be sacrificed by cervical dislocation and analyzed for
pulmonary DNA damage. The more uniform distribution of this chemical
throughout the lung tissue of mice should put more cells at risk to
these chemicals and lung DNA damage should be more easily and repro-
ducibly detected. The role of the Ahb locus (AHH responsiveness) in
determining the amount of DNA damage can easily be determined. Mice
from the 86 - D2 congenic line (AHH responsive) and D2 mice (AHH
non-responsive) are proposed to be compared for their susceptibility
to aerosol generated chemical-induced lung DNA damage.
