Daily intraperitoneal treatment of female Sprague-Dawley rats with either 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg tamoxifen (TAM) for 1 week increased the level of peroxidase activity in the uterus 2- to 10-fold compared to the control level. Using uterine extracts prepared from control and TAM treated animals, we investigated the activation of 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-HO-TAM) and (E,Z)-1,2-diphenyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-but-1-ene (cis/trans-metabolite E) to form DNA adducts. Activation of 4-HO-TAM by uterine extracts prepared from either control or TAM-treated rats produced one major (a) and two minor DNA (b and c) adducts. A similar activation of cis/trans-metabolite E produced two adducts (d and e). There was good correlation between levels of uterine peroxidase activity and levels of DNA adducts formed by 4-HO-TAM and cis/trans-metabolite E. Activation of 4-HO-TAM and cis/trans-metabolite E with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) produced the same adducts as observed by activation with uterine extract. Treatment of Sprague-Dawley rats with 5 and 10 mg/kg for 7 days produced eleven DNA adducts in the liver with no adducts detected in the uterus. However, treatment of rats with 20 mg/kg of TAM for 7 days produced the same adduct pattern in the liver and also one major adduct (1) in the uterus with a relative adduct level of 6.4 - 4.1 x 10(-9). Tamoxifen-DNA adduct 1 detected both in the liver and in the uterus of treated rats was similar to adducts produced by activation of 4-HO-TAM with either uterine extract or HRP. The results of these studies suggest a general model whereby the tamoxifen metabolite 4-HO-TAM is further activated in the uterus by peroxidase enzymes to form DNA adducts.
