Mutations of the mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) displacement loop (D-loop) were investigated to clarify different changes of exogenous and endogenous liver carcinogenesis in rats. We induced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in rats with N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) and a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet. DNAs were extracted from 10 HCCs induced by DEN and 10 HCCs induced by the CDAA diet. To identify mutations in mtDNA D-loop, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, followed by nucleotide sequencing, was performed. Mutations were detected in 5 out of 10 HCCs (50%) induced by DEN. Four out of 5 mutations were G/C to A/T transitions at positions 15707, 15717, 15930, and 16087, and one T/A to C/G transition at position 15559. By contrast, no mutations were found in 10 HCCs induced by the CDAA diet. These results demonstrated that mutations in mtDNA D-loop occur in rat HCCs induced by DEN but not by the CDAA diet, suggesting that mtDNA D-loop is a target of exogenous liver carcinogenesis in rats.
