In Vitro Assays
The pmedin$ section showed that tobacco smoke
contains chemicals which interact with the
mpnooxygenase system. This interaction can be
beneficial if it produces nonbiologically active.

body, or it can be detrimental if it results in inter-
mediates with exceptional biological potency. Table

enzyme fractions from rat liver to fortts mutagettic

The fractions that induced AHH activity Ie.g. B,a or
B,bl contained chemicals that could metabolically
compete with BP in an in virrn assay (see Table 2).
This implies that CSC contains not only chcmicals
that induce pulmonary AHH. but also chemicals
that are potential subserates for these enzymes.

Addition of ferric oxide I FeyO, ) with BP resulted in
8°!c malignant tumors Li0). However, treatment with
selected :AI condensate fractions every other week
for the duration of the study 139 weeks), resulted in
significantly increased malignant lung lesions in
animals treated with both BP alone or with BP plus
FerO,. The fractions alone. or with Fe=CI,, resulted
in few malignant tumors 0 out of a total of 764
treated animals). Thus, in an in vivu lung tumor
model system, the fractions seemed to have mainly
"promotor-like" activity.
Can Individuals or Tissues within
an Individual Differ in Risk to 4ho
Effects of Tobacco-Related
Chemicals?
The answers to this question are at best complex.
The results of studies discussed in the previous sec-
tions can be somewhat difficult to reconcile. On the
one hand. tobacco smoke contains chemi:als that
interact with hepatic mixed-function oxidases such
as AHH. and this metabolism generates inter-
mediates that are mutagenic and transforming in in
rirn, test systems. On the other hand. CSC is not
activated to mutagenic forms by mouse-derived
pulmonary tissues in tvm,. Also. CSC material does
not seem to efficiently cause lung tumors in rira.
Many mtetpretations are feasible. Perhaps the lack
of activation is characteristic of mouse pulmoaary
tissue alone and cannot be generalized to other
species. In point of fact, rat pulmonary tissue Fa:
been reported to aStiv tte certain smoke :onden-
sates to mutagenic forms (24). Huwever. both rat
and human lung tissues have also failed to activate
CSC material (24. ; l). and so the generality of the
activation (or lack thereof) is still not understood.
Second the fact that hepatic tissue can activate
these condensates suggests that tobacco material
could be activated by this organ and, following that.
the tissues at risk (e.g.. lung) wculd be exposed to
these active Crsnns. Or third. th~ lung is at risk only
for the effects of those chemicals in cigarette smoke
capable of "promoting" the carcinogenic event that
may be initiated by a mynad of environmental pol-
tut9nu.
The first interpretation is difficult to assess be-
cause no lung cancer model animal system directly
appli;able to man is currently available. However.
the kind of pulmonary lesions observed in mice fol-
lowing exposure to known chemical carcinogens,
that is, bronchogenic squamous cell carcinomns, al-
veolat' adenocarcittomas. and adenosquamous car-
cinomas. resemble lesions found in man (,f?. 33).
Some data suggest that the liver plays a major
role in the eventual susceptibility of other organs to
chemically-induced cancers (34). However, no evi-
dence is available to suggest that lung tissue is at
risk from liver-metabolized chemicals. Evaluation
of this alternative in t'iwr will be difficult because of
the close liverrlung relationship.
The third interpretation is panicuiariy intriguing
and suggests that "promotion" represents the real
risk of cigarette smoke to lung tissue. This idea is
consistent with the following facts: (a) tobacco
smoke condensate is capable of "promoting"
mouse skin carcinogenesis: (b) tobacco-smoke con-
densate can "promote" lung carcinogenesis in
model animal systems (see Table 6): (c) the condi-
tions of cigarette-smoke exposure that result in the
highest risk of human lung cancer are quite similar
to those that are most promotive in animal test sys-
tems: that is. frequent and relatively prolonged
treatment: (d) the chemicals in cigarette smoke
(particulate phase) that are known inifiators of car-
cinogenesis may be too low in concentration [total
m 400 ngrcignrette 4>iS)1 to initiate sigaificant ttans-
forntation in vivo. The evaluation of whole cigarette
smoke as a potential initiator and promoter of lung
cancer in the inbred strains of mice is now being
studied in our laboratory.
NOTE ADDED IN PROOF: We have recently folmd
that a pulmonary S-9 preparation from Aroclor
1254-induced mice is capable of weakly activating
6-AC to a bacterial mutagen with the use of a pour
plate assay 12-3-fold over background). We have still
not observed an increase in bacterial mutations using
this S-9 preparation and 2AI cigarette smoke con-
densate.

Under similar conditions both rat and mouse he-
patic tissue could activate both 6-AC and the 3AI
CSC to mutagenic intermediates. However, the
pulmonary S-9 preparations were capable of ac-
tivating aflatoxin B, (AFB,) (see Table 4). 7.8-
dihydro-7.8-dihydroxybenaota)-8diol pyrene-7.
and 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) to mutagenic forms
(Table 5). Thus. the lung preparations were
metabolically Itceive by some measut+es, but did not
activate 6-At'; or CSC. That the tiaslu hypotheti-
cally at risk to tobacco-associsted carcinogenesis
seems unable to activate the tobacco smoke con-
densate allows many interesting interpretations
which will be discussed in the last section of this
report.
In Vivo Studies
Tobacco smoke condensate fractions have been
shown to "promote" carcinogen-initiated skin
tumors in mice (28. 29). Table 6 demonstrates that
at least some fiacdons from the 2A1 CSC are capa-
ble of acting synergistically with intrattac!teally in-
stilled BP (with or without Fe,O,). resulting in a
much higher incidence of Iung cancers in BC3FI
mice: see Saft)ottP 130) for discussion on use of
Fe=Q, in pulmonary cancer model systems. BP
alaru (given every other week for 6 weeksl resulted in
only one malignant tumor by 39 weeks after tteat-
meot out of a total of 82 trr-ated animals (combining
animals given 0.6 mg and 1.2 mg BP per treatment).

Introduction
Cancer is not randomly distributed among the
human population (1). ntther, both environmental
(2) and genetic tj-51 factora strongly influence its
occurrence. Lung cancer is a specific example of a
neoplasia whose occurrence is nonrandomly
distributed. Its incidence is often associated with
cigarette smoking (6). but the actual role that ta
bacco smoke or smoke-related chemicals play in
this association is unclear.
A potential role of tobacco smoke involves in-
teraction with those microsomally-bound mono-

ceptibility to chemically-induced cancer in model

because not only do they metabolize many en-
vironmental chemicals. b'at also natulaUy occuning
variations in their steady-state levels are genetically
linked with susceptibility to toxicity. mutagenesis.
and carcinogenesis induced by many of the same
chemicals (7. 9-! l ).
Three basic questions can be addressed con-
cerqing the role of tobacco smoke in cancer suscep

chemicals that interact with the microsomal
monooxygenases' (b) If they do interact, what at+e

Does Tobacco Smoke Contain

Systems?
Kinetics of increase of pulmonary AHH levels
in C57BV6(661. DBAt2J t D2). and C3H1fCum iC31
strains of mice exposed to IAI cigarettes are shown
in Figure I. Results suggested that there were rapid
increases in pulmonary AHH activity that peaked
by 6 hr post-exposure. and that these induced en-
zymes remained at this level for at least 24 hr. The
D2 strain was virtually nonresponsive to this smoke
exposure compared with 56 and 0 strains; this re-
sult paralleled that fsund when a polycyclic aro-
matic hydrocarbon (PAH). 3-methylcholanthrene
tMCI. was given intratracheally to the same strains
(see Fig. l). However, the kinetics of induction of
pulmonary AHH by smoke are different from those
obtained when MC was used as an inducer. The
peak of activity in the smoke induced lungs oc-
curred at 6 hr (vs. 24 hr for MCI. Also the half-life of
the smoke-induced enzyme was much longer (- 24
hr vs. - a hr). Finally, these smoke exposure condi-
tions did not induce the AHH activity in liver.

cinogenic (y. 10) forms. Similar to MC-induced
AHH levels. the smoke-induced enzyme levels are

Iree Table I).
Although tobacco smoke induced AHH activity
in the B6 strain preferentially to the D2 stntin. the
genetic basis for this difference may not be the same
as that for the difference in AHH activity induced
by MC. Figure 2 shows that. whereas MC given
intratracheally to (BI6D2) F, x D2 progeny induced
pulmonary AHH activity in approximately 30%
t 13/291 of the mice 02. 13). no clearcut discritnina-
tion was observed in the smoke-exposed animels.
However. it may be that the inducing capacity of
cigarette smoke for pulmonary tissue is just too low
to easily evaluate its genetic regulation.

densation with the use of Dry Ice. and this cigarette
