Changes in p53 expression, apoptosis and cell proliferation after treatment with 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1-oxide (4HAQO) were investigated in the rat pancreas and liver, target and nontarget organs for tumorigenesis, respectively. Male rats were given a single intravenous injection of 4HAQO at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight and control rats received vehicle alone and were euthanized after 2—72 hours. Pancreata and livers were removed for histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry for p53 protein, PCNA and Ki-67, and TUNEL labeling and electron microscopic observation for detecting apoptosis. In the pancreas, p53 expression and apoptosis were significantly increased first at 4 and 6 hours, respectively, while no change was evident in the liver. The rates peaked at 24 hours, consistent with the peak for PCNA-labeling, while Ki-67-labeling rates peaked at 72 hours. Electron microscopically, apoptotic changes in pancreatic acinar cells were observed after 2 hours. No significant apoptosis, p53 expression or cell proliferation were noted in the pancreatic tissues of the control rats nor in liver cells regardless of 4HAQO treatment. Taken together with our previous data, the results suggest that apoptosis, p53 expression, and enhanced cell replication are closely related phenomena involved in the carcinogenesis of 4HAQO following DNA adduct formation.
