DNA-adduct formation and induction of gene mutations were determined simultaneously after treatment with the four ethylating agents, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), ethylnitrosourea (ENU), diethyl sulfate (DES), and N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG). Both, in E. coli K-12 (NAL-resistance) and in V79 Chinese hamster cells in culture (HPRT-deficiency), the frequencies of mutation induction by all chemicals were the same when plotted against the amount of O6-ethylguanine formed in DNA, suggesting that this DNA adduct can be used as a common dosimeter for the comparisons of the frequencies of gene mutations induced by ethylating agents in various mutagenicity assay systems. Using ENU, such a comparison was performed between mutation induction in V79 cells in vitro and in the specific-locus assay in the mouse. The data indicate that at equal levels of O6-ethylguanine in the DNA of V79 cells and in testicular DNA from male mice treated with ENU, the frequencies of induced mutants in both assay systems were quite similar. These results support the concept that the determination of premutagenic DNA adducts in vivo can be used to monitor exposure to chemical mutagens and that genetic risk estimations may ultimately be performed on the basis of such measurements and of comparative mutagenesis in vitro and in vivo.
