Lung tumor susceptibility in inbred mouse strains is caused by the susceptibility allele at the pulmonary adenoma susceptibility I (PasI(s)) locus. However, after urethane treatment, most strains carrying the PasI(s) allele show an intermediate (1-4 tumors/mouse) instead of a highly susceptible (15-30 tumors/mouse) lung tumor phenotype. To test the hypothesis that strains displaying the intermediate lung tumor phenotype carry dominant or codominant resistance alleles at pulmonary adenoma resistance (Par) loci, we crossed mice of intermediate susceptibility or resistance to lung tumorigenesis with the highly susceptible A/J strain. Eleven F-1 hybrids were treated with urethane to induce lung tumorigenesis. The A/J strain developed 35.3 tumors/mouse, while its F-1 hybrid with C57BL/6J mice (null allelle at Par loci) developed 22.8 tumors/mouse due to the PasI allele dosage effect. F-1 hybrids of strains 129/SvJ, CBA/J, ST/J and LP/J (PasI(s)) and of SPW, DBA/2J and C57L/J (PasI(r)) mice showed significant reduction in lung tumor multiplicity (i.e., 0.3-12.8 tumors/mouse) compared to A/J and (A/J X C57BL/6J), mice. These results indicate that resistance alleles at Par loci are common in inbred mouse strains and account for the lung tumorigenesis intermediate phenotype of strains carrying the PasI(s) allele.
