Work from our laboratory showed that carcinogenic metal salts of arsenic, nickel, and chromium induced morphological transformation of cultured C3H/10T1/2Cl 8 (10T1/2) mouse embryo cells, and that many of the transformants grow in soft agarose and form tumors in nude mice. Concentrations of arsenic, nickel, and chromium compounds that induced morphological transformation did not induce mutation to ouabain resistance in 10T1/2cells. This indicated that the mechanism of metal induced morphological transformation was likely not caused by induction of base substitution mutations, and in the case of lead chromate, likely not caused by frameshift or deletion mutations.In addition, we showed that carcinogenic arsenic, nickel, and chromium compounds, and MNNG, induced anchorage independence in diploid human fibroblasts. Anchorage-independent cell strains derived from anchorage-independent colonies were stable but did not form foci and eventually senesced, therefore, arsenic and nickel compounds and lead chromate induced stable anchorage independence as an isolated phenotype. Nickel compounds and lead chromate induced anchorage independence but not mutation to ouabain resistance or to 6-thioguanine resistance. Hence, the mechanism of induction of anchorage independence by these metal salts in human fibroblasts was likely not via induction of base substitution, frameshift, or deletion mutations that would be measured in these mutation assays. MNNG, on the other hand, induced mutation to 6-thioguanine resistance and to ouabain resistance over the same concentration ranges that induced anchorage independence was induced, indicating that MNNG might induce anchorage independence by inducing base substitution, frameshift, or deletion mutations. It is likely, therefore that the mechanisms of metal salt induced morphological and anchorage independent transformation in murine and human base substitution mutations. We hypothesize that rearrangements or amplification of proto-oncogenes, or, possibly, inactivation of suppressoro oncogenes, might play a role in the mechanism of metal salt induced morphological or anchorage independent transformation of 10T1/2and diploid human fibroblasts, respectively. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A03GS019 00027
