The DMBA[7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene]-TPA[12-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate]-mediated 2-stage skin carcinogenesis experiment was modified in that pregnant mice were systemically treated once during pregnancy with the carcinogen. Intragastric application times were fetal days 6, 8 and 10-20. A control group of pregnant mice received repeated doses (from days 8-20) of sesame oil. At the age of 12 wk, the offspring were divided into 2 groups, one of which was left completely untreated while the other received TPA applications over 26 wk. Skin tumor development after TPA promotion was observed. Tumor rates and tumor yields increased and latency periods decreased progressively in the promoted subgroups with the postponement of initiation to later fetal periods. Day 19 of prenatal development was the most sensitive period to transplacental initiation; initiation at day 20 led to a significant decrease in tumor rate and yield. The capability to initiate skin tumors and the extent of initiation can be correlated to the organogenesis of the epidermis and its proliferative rate in utero.
