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.
