PROPOSED STUDIES Con t ract CTR-0030 I. CHRONIC INHALATION STUDIES A. Introduction. These studies proposed will describe those conditions necessary for maintenanc,e, utilization and implementation of a state-of-the-art inhalation facility for the determination of the potential biological effects of whole cigarette smoke in the inbred strains of mice. In order to carry out successful chronic cigarette smoke inhalation studies, it is required that: 1) the facility must be capable of generating and characterizing large quantities of cigarette smoke; 2) the facility must be capable not only of documenting and quantitatina the level of smoke generated, but also documenting the smoke deposition patterns in the test animal; 3) the facility must be capable of utilizing large numbers of animals in chronic studies; and 4) the facility must be capable of evaluating and characterizing the potential biological response of the test animal to these exposure conditions. The inhalation facility at M.A. meets these rather stringent conditions. The following proposed studies should ensure a continuation of the state-of-the-art inhalation facility. B. CTR-101A. Chronic exposure of BC3F1/Cum mice to cigarette smo e. CTR-101B. Chronic exposure of C3H/Anf-Cum mice to ci arette smo e. CTR-101C. Chronic exoosure of OBA/2J mice to - cigarette smoke. The chronic inhalation studies are designed to evaluate chronic exposure of rJiole cigarette smoke as a potential com- plete carcinogen in.three strains of mice (BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf-Cum, and DBA/2J).Data to date suggest that cigarette smoke at best, possesses weak biological potency to man. Because of this low biological potential and because of the conditions under which man is exposed to cigarette smoke, it is a necessary•requirement that any smoke exposure study use conditions whereby: a) the smoke deposition and distribution parallels that of human smokers b) the length of time of exposure parallels that of human smokers, and c) the animal system employed is capable of - expressing those types of biological lesions associated with cigarette smoking in man. 1. Rationale.. Several parameters must be considered for this experiment including: 1) estimated lifetime of the animals under these test conditions; 2) numbers of mice required initially in order to insure a significant number of animals during the time when lung lesions may be expected; 3) an assumption as to the incidence and latency of lung lesions -1- CTR CONTRRCTS 027837 11247587 CTR I-IN 0'44301

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 4) the type of cigarette employed; 5) dose of cigarette employed and 6) equipment capacity for smoke exposure. The experiment will be scheduled so that mice are exposed to smoke for their "lifetime". In an attempt to deter- mine what the lifetime is for each strain, the following data were assembled. Table 1 Mean Life Span Strain (LD50) References i3C3F1/Cum 30 Months Peter, et al (Mech. A ing Develop. +T~c'251, 1975? C3H/Anf-Cum 28-30 Months Peterson (Fersonal Com- munication) DBA/2J 22 Months Myers (Birth Defects 14:41, 1978) Realistic estimates for the lifetimes of the mice are difficult to predict because of variations in laboratory con- ditions and because of the treatment conditions employed. Data from our laboratory'(CTR-i100) suggest that BC3F1/Cum mice exposed to 2A1 cigarettes at a dose level of 10 per day yield an LD5o (50% of the animals are dead) of about 44 weeks. The machine control animals also yield an LD50 of about 44 weeks. However, less than 1% of the uninoculated control , animals have died during this observation period. The factors causing this high death rate include, human and equipment associated accidents, stress, toxicity of treatment and a combination of these factors. The accidental deaths have decreased dramatically during the past four months mainly' for two•reasons: 1) the technical staff has become experienced in the day-to-day handling of the animals, and 2) equipment malfunctions have been an increasingly rare occurrence. The death rates in the machine control groups have decreased significantly as the result of the installation of flow meters at the end of the smoke line in the animal containment units. These flow meters insure adequate flow of air and/or cigarette smoke and have significantly decreased the numbers of animals dying on the smoke exposure machines. Because.of these latter changes, we now assume'that the LD50 for BC3F1/Cum mice for uninoculated controls, machine controls, and smoke exposed animals will be approximately 30 months, 15 months, and 12 months, respectively. Although not directly comparable, results from experiments CO-91:and CO-94 tend to corroborate these assumptions.that is,handling animals every 4-5 days throughout their lifetime has resulted in at least 20% survival at 118 weeks of age. Therefore,• it would seem for the BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf-Cum, and DBA/2J strains that the initial numbers of mice should be 1600, 800, and 400 for smoke exposed, machine controls, and uninoculated controls, respectively.

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 smoke from the 2R1 cigarette on BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf-Cum, and DBA/2J strains is given in Table 2. The schedule was made with the assumption that approxi- mately 200 animals would be alive during the time at which the LD50 Qccurred to the time at which the L090 occurred.. This is the minimal number of animals which must be evaluated in order to insure that an assumed 2% squamous cell carcinoma incidence In the smoke exposed group and a zero incidence in the control groups will be statistically significant. A 2% .inc.i.dence was based on the extrapolation of the data of Hammond, et al (Origins of Human Cancer, =d. Hiatt, Watson, Winsten, Co1U-Spring Harbor Laboratory, 101-1t.2, 1977). on the inci.dence of lung cancers in humans exposed to high levels of cigarette-smoke (approximately 2 packs/day) for extended periods of time (>40 years). These proposed studies will use the 2R1 reference cigarette. A comparison of its total particulate matter (TPM), nicotine, and puff characterisitics relative to the 2A1, 3A1, and 1R3 cigarettes are given in table 3. Cigarette Type Table 3 TPM m /Ci .)

(A dosimetry experiment with the 2R1 cigarette has been proposed (CTR-102) to quantitate this deposition.) Such a dose is equivalent to a human smoking approximately 3.5 packs of cigarettes per day. Also presented in Table 2 Is the schedule of an experiment to study the potential co-carcinogenicity of ciga- rette smoke in BaP Induced lung cancers. The rationale for this study is as follows: 1) previous studies have shown that IT instillation of cigarette smoke condensate materials enhanced BaP induced lung tumorigenesis (see progress report, 1978), and b) this enhanced tumorigenicity was observed within 1.0 year afte.r BaP treatment. This pa-rt of the chronic inhalation study would be expected to end by 12-18 months.

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 and March, 1980 (for ')EA/?J), the capacity for animal exposure must be doubled. We propose to evaluate two alter- native arrangements of animal containment units that should double :he number of anim?ls that could be exposed per day. The alternatives are a tandem (one behind another) arrangement o" animal containment units, or the doubling the number of smoke •lines coming from the SEM. These alternatives will be evaluated by testing for total flow rate, smoke particulate deposition and levels of CO/CO~, in line. These details are presented in proposed study CTft-103.

For the smoke exposed and machine control mice, weights will be obtained at least two hours after exposure. d. Smoke and machine exposure will be initiated gradually until exposure reaches 5 cigarettes/day and will continue 5 day/week for the lifetime of the animal. e. Carcinogen treatment of the designated groups will be given at weekly intervals and be completed before the first smoke exposure. The dose will be 3 x 1.2.mg BaP/0.02 ml gel-saline. f. Urine will be routinely collected from each group of animals and assayed for mutagenic components according to procedures described. g. Carboxyhemoglobin, hemoglobin and methemoglobin determinations will be made for mice from each group at monthly intervals. h. Several assays will be used to monitor this long-term study: OOC, AHH, and pulmonary DNA repair capacity. These will be performed periodically on 3-4 mice and compared to known controls. i. Mice will be taken off test when moribund and the following tissues examined histopathologically: lung, trachea, larynx, head, and any other abnormal tissue. -6- CTR coNTRaCTS 027842 11247592 CTR HN 044,306

Rationale. After completion of preliminary experiments to determine the tolerance of BC3FI/Cum mice to smoke from 2R1 cigarettes, a dosimetry experiment using 14C-DTC and 14C- nicotlne-labeled 2R1 cigarettes is proposed. Comparison of the 2R1 with the 2A1 cigarette with regard to particulate deposi- tion Is important because these cigarettes differ in: 1) toxicity of smoke, 2) procedures for adaptation to smoke, and 3) the resulting level of carboxyhemoglobin. The 2R1 and 2A1 cigarettes have slightly different TPM (50 and 40 mg/clgarettes, res pectively), and are known to differ In the amount of nicotine (2:81 and 0.5 mg/cigarette, respectively), the amount of water delivered under analytical smoking conditions (6.6 and 3.1 mg/ cigarette, respectively) and the number of puffs per cigarette (12 and 10 puffs/cigarette, respectively) (see Table 3). We thus propose to evaluate whether the particulate deposition and internal distribution can account for the differences ob- served in a biological effect using 14C-DTC and 14C-nicotine labeled 2R1 cigarettes. b. Procedure. . (1) 14C-DTC - 2R1 cigarettes BC3FI/Cum female mice (7-8 weeks old) will be adapted to smoke on the SEM II according to the schedule which results in the lowest toxicity. Exposure to smoke will continue for one month before the dosimetry study with 14C-OTC. Labeled 2R1 cigarettes will be prepared using the cigarette labeled injection machine described previously. The smoke exposure conditions used for the experiment will depend upon which conditions are best tolerated by BC3FI/Cum female mice (10% smoke concentration, 20 or 30.seconds ex- posure time). Immediately after smoke exposure, retroorbital blood samples will be taken for carboxyhemoglobin analysis. One group of mice (15 mice) will then be sacrificed by C02 asphyxiation to determine the Immediate deposition of smoke particulates and another group (15 mice) sacrificed 24 hours post exposure to determine the level of retention. The following tissues will be analyzed to determine the amount of particulate deposition: head, larynx and upper trachea, lung and lower trachea, stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys, remains and hide.

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-003G 2. CTR-103. Evaluation of SEM il Animal Contain- ment Caoacity Usinq 14C- -c Cicarette Dosimetrv Studv. a. Rationale. The feasibility of increasing the inhalation capac•ity through use of additional•animal containment units will be evaluated. The amount of smoke generated by the SEM II , is ln excess of the amount required for one animal containment unit, so that the possibility of attaching a second unit in series or in parallel seems to be a likely way to increase capacity of the SEM 11 machine. Preliminary determinations of flow rate, CO1C02 changes along the extended smoke line, and total particulate matter along the smoke line are presently under- way. In the event these results indicate that two animal containment units can be successfully utilized with one SEM 11, a dosimetry experiment to verify the deposition and dosimetry in the BC3F1/Cum mice will be performed. b, Procedure. The procedures will be as described for CTR-102 using 14C-DTC-2R1 cigarettes. Fifteen mice per module (60 mice total) will be sacrificed after smoke exposure, with the position on the smoke line carefully noted. Tissues and data will be as described as for CTR-102, with the additional information of the TPM deposition given as a function of the distance from the SEM 11. 3. CTR-104. De osition and dosimetr of 14C-DTC-3A1 cigarette smo eC3F um mice. a. Rationale. Dosimetry results presently available have all been obtained using the 2A1 cigarette. It is proposed that a low-alkaloid cigarette may be used in the chronic inhalation studies. The 2A1 cigarette is not available in sufficient quantities for these studies and therefore, the 3A1 cigarette would have to be used. The particulate deposi- tion and distribution pattern of this cigarette have not been determined, and as indicated in Table 3, the TPM, nicotine and number of puffs pe r cigarette are different compared to both the 2A1 and 2R1 cigarette. It is anticipated that deposi- tion and dosimetry from a 3A1 cigarette would most resemble results from a 2A1 cigarette. b. Procedure.

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-003G 4. CTR-205. Comnarative.evaluation of deoosition and_ dosimetry arter_exposure to <-naont v amine or catec o in a smo e aeroso . _, a. Rationale. ' Previous studies (CTR-0022 Progress Report) have examined the physiologic response in the mouse to nanogram quantities of BaP, MCA, nicotine and DTC when aerosolized In cigarette smoke. All are constituents of smoke with the exception of MCA. These specific chemicals represent, respectively, the polycyclic aromatic hydro- carbons, the tobacco alkaloids and an inert particulate con- stituent of tobacco smoke. BaP, MCA and nicotine were shcxqn in these studies to be rapidly cleared (t12<2 hours) from the lung, while DTC was retained at significant levels up to a week post exposure. There are many more classes of chemicals in cigarette smoke capable of exerting a biological effect, for example, catechol (220-550 µg/cigarette) or e'-naphthylamine (22 ng/cigarette) Weisburger, J. L., et al.,(Origins of Human Cancer Ed. Hiatt, Watson, Winsten, CoTd-9'pring Harbor Laboratory, 573-574, 1977). The chemicals examined In our studies to date may not reflect the types of chemicals responsible for the biological effects In the lung. The chemicals responsible may be the cocarcinogens or "promoters", a few of which are known to be specifically present In tobacco smoke. Dosimetry studies using radloactively labeled f'-naphthylamine and catechol will be carried out so as to determine the conditions of retention and clearance from the lung and whole body. _ b. Procedure. BC3F1/Cum female mice (8-12 weeks old) will be adapted to smoke on the Walton Smoking Machine using standard procedures (10% smoke concentration, 30 seconds smoke exposure alternatin with 30 seconds purge air per puff for a total of 10 minutes}q. Exposure to smoke will continue for one month before the dosimetry study. Labeled 2A1 cigarettes will be prepared using the cigarette label, injector machine described previously. Standard dosimetry procedures'will be used that Is: (exposure to one unlabeled 2A1 cigarette, followed by exposure to one radio-labeled cigarette, and 4 mice per time-point) and a total of 6 time-points. Mice will be sacrificed at the following times after exposure: 0, 1, 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours. The following tissues will be analyzed for radioactive content: head, larynx and upper trachea, lung and lower trachea, stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys, remains and hides. The data will be p'resented as micrograms or nanograms chemical per tissue per time-point, the data for the lung normalized to mg wet weight/tissue. The time for one-half of the original dose to clear the lung (t 1/2) will be estimated from this data. cTR CaNTRacTS 027848 11247598 CTR IuIN 044312

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 B. Distribution of Cigarette Smoke Constituents. 1. CTR-106, Autoradio raohic analysis of luna tissue after ex6osure o mice to 2-ciQarette smo e. (1 C-DTC. ?4C-BaP), • a. Rationale. Autoradiography of lung tissue after appro- priate exposure to biologically relevant chemicals allows deposition and retention patterns at the cellular level to be established. The'distribution pattern within the lung after exposure of mice to 14C-DTC-2R1 cigarette smoke will be determined using the Walton Horizontal Smoking Machine (WHSM) with the techniques and procedures developed under CTR-Contract 0022 last year: The WHSM utilizes fewer animals and cigarettes than the SEM 11 and comparative dosimetry studies have demon- strated equivalent TPM deposition between the two machines. By their nature, dosimetry studies cannot provide information except in an approximate fashion, regarding the specific dis- tribution of chemicals within an organ. Thus, autoradiography Is proposed to evaluate the imnediate deposition and distribu- tion patterns within the lung for 14C-DTC and 14C-BaP aero- solized In 2R1 cfgarette smoke. In addition, an evaluation of the methods of administration of chemicals to the lung can be made; that Is whether a different localization pattern would be found for )4-BaP delivered in a smoke aerosol com- pared to 14C-BaP delivered by intratracheal )noculation. b. Procedure. BC3F)/Cum mice (8-12 weeks old) will be ex- posed to smoke on the WHSM using 10% or 20~ smoke concentra- tion, 20 or 30 seconds exposure time. 14C-DTC-2R1 and 14C-BaP-2R1 ci garettes will be prepared as described using the cigarette label injector machine (10-100 µCi/cigarette). Four mice will be sacrificed by C02 asphyxiation at 5 minutes, 6 hours and 24 hours post exposure. Lungs will be rapidly removed,, quickly frozen in dry ice snow and stored at -70° C. Frozen lungs will be embedded in paraplast for sectioning at 6 hM in the International Cryostat. Two sections per glass slide are collected and allowed to dehydrate slightly in the cryostat. The sections then adheres well to the slide, which is then treated with methanol for I minute to complete fixation and dehydration. The dried slides are dipped in a 2% solution of NTB-2 gelatin solution and allowed to harden briefly at room temperature in the dark. Lead shielded slide boxes are used for storing the slides at -20° C for the 4-8 week exposure period. The exposed slides are developed in Kodak D-19 developer, fixed and stained with nuclear fast red (O.lY). The developed, stained sections are then examined microscopically for the distribution of silver grains. CTR C0NTRACTS 027849 11247599 vwJ I m R ! I I 1 0,44313 •

Carcinogenesis appears to be a focal reaction • of tissues, that is, the eventual manifestations of neo- plastic growth do not involve the whole tissue but appear as discrete and separate Islands of cellular aberration. It has been suggested that damage to cellular DNA may represent an early essential step in carcinogenesis. For some carcinogens, such damage has been shown to result in an inhibition of DNA synthesis, followed by an increase in the incorporation of 3H- TdR into DNA (Shimkin et al., Cancer Res. 29, 994 (1969)). These changes in 3H-TdR incorporatlon can be specifically de- tected after autoradiographic treatment of sections from fixed tissue. The fraction of labeled cells can be determined and Is expressed as the 3H-TdR labeling index (LI). In collabora- tion with Dr. R. Rasmussen (University of California at Irvine, Irvine, Ca.), we have used this technique to evaluate tissues from mice exposed to cigarette smoke. Preliminary results suggest that one of the earliest effects of exposure to 2A1 or 2R1 smoke In the lungs of BC3F1/Cum mice is an in- crease in the L1. Thus, the LI may be a sensitive monitor of organ or cellular response and may be used to detect the earliest effects of smoke or carcinogen treatments. The analysis of cell type and histopathology of the smoke associated lesions will be performed at MA with Dr. L.H. Billups. We propose to continue these studies In collaboration with Dr. Rasmussen to evaluate tissue specific or cellular specific responses to whole cigarette smoke. Particular attention will be given to comparisons between the methods of delivery, intratracheal Inoculation, and aero- solization in solvent vs. aerosolization in smoke. b. Procedure. As discussed previously, Initial studies are in progress with regard to the effects of 2A1 and 2R1 cigarette smoke on the LI of lung, liver, bladder and kidney. Mice have been exposed to smoke on the SEM II (10% smoke concentrate, 30 seconds exposure time) for varying periods of time, then shipped to Dr. Rasmussen for evaluation of DNA repair capacity. Two mice from each group sent to Dr. Rasmussen have been used at MA to evaluate the LI immedi- ately after exposure to smoke. Dr. Rasmussen has determined the LI at subsequent times. Mice have been injected after smoke exposure with 100 wCi-3H-TdR for 30 minutes, sacri- ficed by pentobarbital overdose, tissues removed and fixed in formalin. Lungs and bladders have been embedded in -14- CTR COhtTRRCTS 027651 11247601 ~ T~"~ t-IN 044,31tIE"i

Alterations In pulmonary MFO activity a. Rationale. are among the earliest reponses following exposure to whole cigarette smoke. It is not known whether different cigarette types engender different biochemical responses among the in- bred strains of mice. The proposed use of the three different cigarette types, 2A1, 3A1, and 2R1 and the use of the three different strains, BC3FI/Cum, C3H/Anf Cum and DBA/2J In our chronic inhalation studies (CTR-101), make it necessary to evaluate the lung MFO response under these different conditions. The use of ethoxyresorufin (ETR), propoxyresorufin and methoxyresorufin as substrates for MFO will be particularly important because the use of these different substrates may differentiate between the type of cytochromes (e.g. P-450, P-448) present in specific tissue preparations. Moreover, ETR Is the most sensitive substrate 'for smoke-induced MFO activity because non-induced pulmonary tissue cannot metabolize this substrate at all, but induced pulmonary tissues, resulting from exposure to only one puff of whole cigarette smoke, exhibits significant levels of c• deethylase activity 6 hours post exposure. -15- CTR CONTRRCTS 027852 11247602 CTR HN 0''°431 G

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-003U The use of ETR-as a substrate for MFO will permit evaluation of the following: a. The effect of different types of cigarettes (2A1, 3A1, and 2R1). b. The use of different strains of mice in order to observe if enzymatic response to whole smoke is genetically linked to AHH responsiveness (BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf Cum, DBA/2J). c. Correlation of smoke particulate deposition with Induced levels of pulmonary MFO activity using the SEM to generate and deliver whole smoke, and d. Comparison of Induced pulmonary enzyme levels following treatment with IT administered chemicals or exposure to aerosol generated chemicals. This latter study must await the implementation of the aerosol generator to be constructed and developed by ORNL for this work In this con- tract. The main thrust of all of these studies will be the characterization of the differences between smoke chemicals-induced and chemically-induced MFo levels in the lung. • . b. Procedures. The SEM Ii will be used in these studies to generate smoke from either 2A1, 3A1 or 2R1 ci ar- ettes. Initial studies will use standard conditions of ~0% smoke concentration, 20 or 30 seconds exposure time. BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf Cum, DBA/2J mice, 8-12 weeks old, will be exposed to 2A1, 3A1 or 2R1 smoke once on the day of the assay. Mice will be sacrificed 6 hours post exposure, lungs removed and assayed for MFO levels using methoxy-, ethoxy-, and propoxyresorufin as substrates. Six mice per substrate- will be used, in addition to control groups. The assay for ETR 0-deethylase activity is performed on lung homogenate in the presence of 0.01 mM ethoxyresorufin (dissolved in 0.1 M Tris-Hcl, pH 8.5) in a total volume 0.4 ml. NADPH (0.125 mM) is added to initiate the reaction and the f.luorescence of the suspension is measured at an emission waveleng th of 586 nanomoles with an excitation wavelength of 520 nm using an Aminco-Bowman spectrophotofluorometer. A known amount of resorufin is added after the reaction has proceeded sufficiently in order to standardize the fluorometer. Data is given in terms of nanamoles resorufin formed per minute per wet weight tissue. As part of CTR-102, particulate deposition and distribution in BC3F1/Cum female mice will be determined after exposure to smoke generated on the SEM using ]4C-DTC-2R1 cigarettes. Twelve mice from this exposure will be sacrificed 6 hours post exposure to determine the induced pulmonary MFO levels using ethoxyresorufin as substrate. -16- CTR cONTRaCTS a2?'®53 11247603 CTR PIN 04431f `

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 C. Short-Term Assays Relating to Possible Initiation Events. 1. CTR-96. Inhibition of pulmonary DNA repair capacity after exDosure to cioarette smoke. a. Rationale. Collaborative studies with Dr. R. Rasmussen (University of California at Irivne, Irvine, CA) are In progress. These studies are designed to characterize the effects of whole cigarette smoke on DNA repair capacity of pulmonary tissue in vivo. As reported in the CTR-0022 Progress Report, inhibition o7-iSNA repair was observed after exposure to whole 2A1 cigarette smoke, but not 2R1 filtered smoke. Exposure to smoke for four weeks was required for the effect to be first observed. The inhibitory effects of chronic smoke exposure on DNA repair capacity and the apparent persistence of this effect will be investigated during the next contract year using 2R1 cigarettes and mice of three strains (BC3F1/Cum, C3H/Anf-Cum and DBA/2J). Mice•will be exposed to smoke at M.A. then sent to Dr. Rasmussen for evaluation of In vitro DNA repair capacity. b. Procedure. • The SEM li will be used to generate smoke from 2A1, 3A1, or 2111 cigarettes. Mice will be rapidly adapted to smoke, using 10% smoke concentration and 20 or 30 seconds exposure time depending upon the cigarette type.

This effort will be a continuation of the ongoing collaborative studies with Dr. I. Wang (Univ. of So. Carolina, Charleston, S.C.).

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 3. CTR-109. Alterations in the i-rrnune res onse after exoosure to cia-' arette smo•e Dr. H. Hersco-:iitz.. a. Rationale. The immune response has been shown to be suppressed by MCA inoculated intratracheaily into the inbred strains of mice (Levy, aS ,a_l,. Can. Res. 37, 3892, 1977). The suppression could be correlated with the genetic suscepti- bility of the various mouse strains to chemically induced lung tumors and also to the inducibility of AHH. Herscowitz has recently demonstrated (In Pulmonary Disease: Defense Mechanisms and Populations at Risk, Tobacco Health Research Institute, Lexington, Ky., 1977) the immunosuppressive effects of cigarette smoke in BALB/C mice, which are inducible for AHH and susceptible to MCA induced lung tumors (Kouri, et al. J. Natl. Can. Inst. 51, 197, 1973). The criteria used by Herscowitz to determin~e the immune responses were: 1) antibody production at the cellular levelas reflected by the spleen plaque assay; 2) antibody production In vivo as determined by circulating hemagglutinating antibody ZHA'j, and 3) mitogen induced prolifer- ation of spleen cells. All three criteria were.shown to be suppressed by 1R1 cigarette smoke but not by 1A1 cigarette smoke. Similar results have been reported in mice exposed to "high tar" cigarettes (16 mg tar, 1.1 m9 nicotine) (Holt, et al., Arch. Environ. Health 31, 258, 1976). These same autios had previously demonstrated that 1f murine sarcoma virus was introduced intothe lungs of BALB/c mice, only those mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke were susceptible (Thomas, et al., Br., J. Can. 10, 459, 1974). No such effect was observed-for mice exposed to smoke for short periods of time. Thus, several questions can be posed with regard to immune - suopression and_ the mouse model forr lung carcinogenesis. 1) What effect does chronic exposure to cigarette smoke have on the immune response of BC3F1/Cum female mice? 2) Can any effect observed be quantitatively related to the immunosuppressive effects of chemicals used to induce lung tumors? 3) What Is the effect of various levels of nicotine and tar in this system? We propose to address these specific questions in collaboration with Dr. Herscowitz as part of our ongoing chronic inhalation studies. Briefly, as shown by Herscowitz, the immuno- suppressive effects of cigarette smoke in BALB/c mice may be summarized as follows: BALB/c mice exposed to smoke for 1 week der~onstrated a decrease In the plaque-forming cells (PFC) per 10 cells from 2671 ± 487 for machine controls to 21 t 6 for smoke exposed mice. For BALB/c mice exposed to 1R1 cigarette smoke for approximately the reqimen proposed for the BC3F1/Cum mice, the hemagglutinating antibody (HA) titer log2 decreased from 8 for the machine controls to 4 for the smoke exposed mice. Chronic exposure to. cigarette smoke in BALB/c mice resulted in approximately 40% reduction in responsiveness to phyto- hemaggluttnin .(PHA) and concanavalin A(con A), but not to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of splenic lymphocytes. -20- CTR CONTRRCTS 027857 11247607 CTR ~~~~ Ct~~ 4~~2 ~

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 No effect was observed in BALB/C mice exposed to 1R1 cigarette smoke fcr 15 days. Our initial studies in collaboration with Dr. Herscowitz (Georgetcwn University, Washington, D.C.) will measur.e the immunosuppressive effects of 2R1 and 2A1 cigarette smoke in BC3F1/Cum mice and the results will be compared directly to the results for BALB/c mice. Using the smoke exposure regimen developed in previous studies with the SEM ii, mice will be adapted to increasing amounts of cigarette smoke up to 2 ciga- rettes/day (a period requiring at least 3 weeks). Mice used as machine controls will be similarly treated, placed in holders, etc. but without exposure to smoke. Approximately 20 mice will be used per group to assure statistical signifi- cance for the results. . After the initial evaluation In BC3F1/Cum mice of the immunosuppressive effects of smoke, the combined effects of-MCA and smoke exposure will be evaluated using the above assays. This would confirm the previous findings with regard to MCA and indicate whether smoke caused an increased immunosuppressive effect. MCA (250 ug/0.02 m1 gel-saline) will be given intratracheally concurrently with the first smoke exposure (day 1). Mice will be immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) on day 11 of the smoke exposure. Smoke exposure will continue for the 3-week period, with the PFC and HA•assays performed on day 15 of smoke exposu re. Mitogen stimulation of spleen cells will not be performed. b. Procedure. All mice will be exposed to smoke at M.A. using either 2A1 or 2R1 cigarette smoke generated on the SEM il. BC3F1/Cum female mice, 7-8 weeks old at the time of the first exposure, will be adapted gradually to the machine or smoke exposure up to the equivalent of 2 cigarettes per day. For the 2A1 cigarette; 2 complete cigarettes of 10 puffs each can be offered for the 2R1 cigarette recent results suggest that the equivalentof 2 complete cigarettes can be given of 5 puffs from 4 cigarettes are given with rest periods between cigarettes. Mice or tissues will be transported directly to Dr. Herscowitz's laboratory for assay. In the PFC or HA assays, mice will be immunized I.p. at M.A. with 0.1 ml of 12.5% suspension of SRBC washed at least three times in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2. Mice will be immunized with SRBC 5 days before sacrifice (day 11 or smoke exposure). The mice will be exposed to the equivalent of 2 cigarettes per day. The PFC and HA assays will be performed by Herscowitz as described. Mice assayed for mitogen stimu.lation of spleen cells will be exposed to smoke on the 3-week regimen as described, (not immunized with SRBC), transported to Herscowitz's laboratory where the spleens will be removed, cultured, and mitogen activated as descri.bed. -21- CTR CONTRRCTS Q2?'E358 11247608 CTR HN 044,32.2

Evaluation of adaotation and stress in the inbred strains or mice exposea to ci arette smo e. Or. ssman . . a. Rationale. Previous studies with Dr. Essman have evaluated the effects of restraint and exposure to cigarette smoke in BC3F1/Cum female mice using several assays as stress Indicators (plasma corticosterone (PC) levels, cardiac norepinephrine (NE) and digoxin uptake, and in vitro adrenal corticosterold systnesis). These studies employed tF-ie WAM,- the 2A1 cigarette, and either the cone or neck restraint. There was no apparent difference between results obtained when the mice were restrained using the cones compared to the neck type. The effect of the machine or cigarette has not been evaluated and will be the aim of the present' study. While an exact protocol must await some further results from the previous studies with Dr. Essman, the following general protocol will be employed. b. Procedure. All'mice will be exposed to smoke at M.A. using 2111 cigarette smoke generated on the SEM 11. In the first study, BC3F1/Cum female mice, 7-8 weeks old at the time of the first exposure, will be adapted gradually to the machine or smoke exposure up to 2 cigarettes per day or the equivalent machine time. The following groups of mice will be treated, placed in cages for 10 minutes, then sacrificed by pontobarbital overdose. Five mice per group will be sacrificed after 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days and 56 days smoke exposure (125 mice total).

Comoarison of smoke induced OOC in three strains of mice and discrimination between ODC induct on ano • Frin uction by c garette smoke Am. a. Rationale. OOC induction has been shown to be an obligate step in the promotability of at least certain chemicals. As reported previously, mouse pulmonary ODC activity was induced after 1) exposure to whole cigarette smoke and 2) exposure to TPA inoculated intratracheally. Thus, at least in principle, there are chemicals in cigarette smoke both capable of inducing ODC activity and promoting chemically induced cancers. In addition, the observation that ODC induction is also an obligate step in the induction of MFO acitivty In mice makes it necessary to discriminate between ODC induction'as the result of Increases in AHH activity and that observed specifically In response to a promoter. b.

The assay protocol for ETR was presented in CTR-108. The protocol for ODC in lung tissue is as follows: 1. Pulmonary hepatic tissue is placed In a pestle and lass homogenizer containing 2 ml of homogenization buffer at 4Y C. -Homogenization Buffer (PH 7.8 for lung, pH 7.5 for liver). Ill 100 mM Hepes 2 1 mM EDTA 2.5 mM dithlothreitol ml of Buffer ~) 100 pM pyridoxal phosphate -Total protein content of this mixture is determined by the standard fluorescamine'assay previously described by our laboratory (see Progress Report). 2. The homogenate is spun at 2,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C. The supernatant is saved and the pellet is discarded. 3. At this point, the supernatant can be f rozen or recentrifuged. The supernatant is spun in an ultracentrifuge at 100,000 xg for 30 min at 4°C. This super- natant contains only the soluble form of the enzyme. 4. The supernatant from the 100,000 xg spin 'is saved and the pellet is discarded.(at this point the super- natant material can be assayed directly for OOC activity or forzen and assayed later. The 100 µM pyridoxal phosphate has been found to stabilize to enzyme.) 5. 0.5 ml.of the 100,000 xg supernata t is added to a 6 ml narrow mouth vial, and then 25 ~ci (1-C1~) ornithine (0.025 µCI/3.5 nmoles/fcl) is added, and immediately sealed with a rubber stopper fitted with a plastic wail con- taining a paper wick and 0.2 ml ethanolamines:2-methoxyethanol (2:1) to trap 14C02.

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 2. CTR-112. Evaluation of feasibility of a focus enhancement assay. a. Rationale. Agents which have the ability to increase the yield of tumors in tissues previously exposed to initiators of carcinogenesis are cortmonly called promoters. Presently, one of the basic needs is to establish assays which would permit the rapid screening of compounds to which man is exposed (e.g. cigarette smoke, environmental pollutants) which may be potential promoters of carcinogenesis. The need to be able to detect promoter properties of chemical agents is obvious, since such properties could account in part for the biohazardouse nature of certain compounds. We feel that if , a test compound fails to cause neoplastic transformation in culture or neoplasia In vivo, this may simply reflect its inability to initiate the transformation process, but does not rule out the possi6iTity that such a compound could promote a transformation event previously initiated by another chemical. We have shown that promoters such as TPA can enhance expression of the transformed phenotypes in vitro (see Progress Report, 2/78), which demonstrated the uiTlity'- of the BALB/3T3 focus enhancement assay. This asssay, developed by Sivak (Cancer Letters, 2: 285, 1977), is based upon the fact that chemicals which possess promotion pro- perties enhance the development of phenotypically transformed foci In a mixed population of transformed and non-transformed cells. We have also reported that whole cigarette smoke condensatels capable of enhancing expression of phenotypic transformation in BALB/3T3 celis (see Progress Report, 2/78). Thus, the focus enhancement assay appears to be capable of detecting potential promotion properties associated with known model promoting agents (e.g. TPA) as well as complex biological mixtures. The added advantage of being a rapid, relatively inexpensive technique make the focus enhancement assay a promising short-term in vitro method for screening potential promoters. - . Prior to implementation of this,bioassay as a screen, it will first be necessary to validate the accuracy, repcoducibility and precision of the test. The specificity of the focus enhancement assay also needs to be established, In order to show that enhancement of focus expression is not a non-specific event, inducible.by non-promoters as well. b. Procedure. 1. 50-400 .4hemically transformed 3T3 cells are co-incubated with 2 x 10..untransformed 3T3 cells In 60 mm diameter petri dishes at 37°C In a humidified atmosphere of 57. C02 plus ai r. 2.

PROPOSED.STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 E. Aerosol Studies 1. Introduction. - The animal model for lung carcinogenesis developed in our laboratories has relied upon'intratracheal inoculation for the precise and reproducible delivery of carcinogens or tobacco-related material to the lung. The intratracheal technique in carcinogenesis has elucidated the pulmonary response with respect to: 1) chemical, 2) strain suscepti- bility, 3) dose, 4) biochemical responses, and 5) the types of histologic lesions that can be induced in a mouse lung. How- ever, now that some of the histopathologic and biochemical end points have been investigated in this animal system, a refinement of the delivery method of the chemical to the lung is desired In order to pose more biologically relevant questions concerning lung carcinogenesis. Aerosolization of these chemicals may be a more biologically relevant method of delivery for the following reasons: 1) aerosolization of chemicals should result In tissue deposition and distribution more similar to that observed during normal respiration; 2) the effect of particle size on cellular distribution within tissues can be efficiently studied, and 3) the biochemical response of such pulmonary enzymes as AHH, ODC, and EH to certain chemicals may change after aerosol delivery compared to intratracheal delivery. In addition, aerosolization of single chemicals or groups of chemicals would allow direct comparison with the effects of ovhole cigarette smoke on the physiological and biochemical responses of the lung. •As described In the progress report from Dr. M. Guerin and Dr. R. Holmberg at ORNL, an aerosol generator has been developed which will allow aerosolization of TPA. This equipment will hypothetically permit the aerosolization of any chemical soluble in ethanot TPA has been fully characterized in this generator with regard to concentration and particle size. The following experiments will utilize TPA aerosolized with this generator, but the conditions and procedures. developed willbe applicable to any aerosolized chemical. -?9- CTR CQNTRRQTS 027866 11247616 CTR MN 044330

PROPOSED STUDIES Contract CTR-0030 2. CTR-1_3. Acute toxicity of aerosolized TPA in the inbre3' strains o7 mice. a. Rationale. Recently we studiej the acute toxicity of aerosolized TPA in BC3F1/Cum female mice. Three groups of animals, 15 animals in each group were exposed to aerosolized TPA for 5, 10, and 15 ninutes. Our results indicated that LD5o for total TPA aerosolized was 2340 jig and that the estimated LD50 lung dose is 2.20 yg/mouse, which may be appreciably higher than the LD50 dose of 0.25 µg/mouse observed earlier for intra- tracheal inoculation. The LD50 doses will also be determined for the C3H/Anf-Cum, C57BL/6, and DBA/2J mice. b. Procedure. A 0.2% solution of TPA in ethanol is used in the aerosol generator, which is run for 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Each exposure must be cal-ibrated at the time of exposure in order to quantitate the dose. C3H/Anf-Cum and DBA/2J mice will be evaluated and data presented for the LD50, for the total TPA aerosolized, and the•LD50 for estimateddose to the lungs. TPA. 3. CTR-114:• Deposition and retention of aerosolized a. Rationale. Quantitatton of the amount of aerosolized TPA reaching the lung can only be determined by dosimetry experiments. Acute toxicity experiments.(CTR-113) have suggested that the estimated tolerable doses of TPA are higher when given in aerosol form than when given intra- tracheally. Use of 3H-TPA for aerosolization will document and quantitate the deposition, distribution, retention and c;earance of this chemical after aerosol exposure of mice. The amount of TPA found in the lung will also be compared to the Induction of pulmonary ODC (see CTR-111). b. Procedure. BC3F1/Cum mice, 8-12 weeks old, will be exposed to aerosolized TPA or ethanol at approximately one half the LD50 dose. Five mice will be sacrificed by cervical dislocation after exposure at the following times: zero, 0.25, 050, 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours. The control group will be sacrificed after 8 hours. The following tissues will be removed, stored, frozen and the shipped to ORNL for radio- active analysis; head and law, upper trachea and larynx, lower trachea and lungs, 1 ver, stomach, and esophagus, fur and remains. -30- CTR CONTRACTS 027867 11247617 C Tk;' kif'I 0+4331
