Murine susceptibility to two-stage skin carcinogenesis is influenced by the agent used for promotion

TL;DR: Findings suggest that murine stock and strain-dependent differences in sensitivity to two-stage skin carcinogenesis may not be due to major differences in the metabolism of the initiating hydrocarbons, but are partially the consequences of the agents used for promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: correlations between DNA adducts and ras oncogene mutations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of studies on the tumorigenic activities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in various experimental animal model systems, their ability to form PAH-DNA adducts in target tissues, and their abilities to mutate ras oncogenes in PAH induced tumors were described.
Journal Article

Adenomas induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in strain A/J mouse lung correlate with time-integrated DNA adduct levels.

TL;DR: The essentially identical induction of adenomas as a function of TIDAL values for these PAH suggests that the formation and persistence of DNA adducts determines their carcinogenic potency.
Journal Article

Formation of benzo(a)pyrene/DNA adducts and their relationship to tumor initiation in mouse epidermis

TL;DR: The results suggest a possible causal relationship between B(a)P/deoxyribonucleoside adduct formation and papilloma formation in mouse skin.
