Abstract: | Summary Arylhydrocarbons are inducers of monooxygenase activity in epithelial cells in culture (Hela) whereas diterpene esters are not. This is one more example of a specific biochemical difference — here in gene activation — exhibited by tumor initiators and tumor promoters of the classes of compounds assayed.Abbreviations TPA 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate - 4-OMe-TPA 4-O-methyl-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate - P2 1-alkyldaphnane-type orthoester (Adolf et al. 1982) - 3-TI 3-tetradecanoyl-ingenol - DMBA 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene - BA benz(a)antracene - DMSO dimethylsulfoxide |
