title: Induction of hepatic poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase by peroxisome proliferators, non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogens.
abstract: Two peroxisome proliferators, [4-chloro-6-(2,3-xylidino)-2-pyrimidinylthio] acetic acid (Wy-14,643) or di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), were given orally to male F-344 rats for up to 78 or 97 weeks. At 1 week, the activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (pADPRP) was increased 2- and 1.8-fold in the liver of rats treated with Wy-14,643 and DEHP, respectively. The induction of the activity was maintained at 2.5- or 2-fold for up to 52 weeks. The immunoblot and Northern blot analyses revealed that the induction of pADPRP activity would be responsible for the increase in the amount of mRNA. In addition, in the liver tumor induced by Wy-14,643 and DEHP, the pADPRP mRNA level increased 3.6- or 3.7-fold. The magnitude of the increase in the mRNA level was higher than that in the non-tumor portion. These findings suggest that the induction of pADPRP may play an important role in the hepatocarcinogenesis induced by peroxisome proliferators.
