Dietary 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AFF) coupled with a stimulus for cell proliferation such as a 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PH) or a necrotizing dose of carbon tetrachloride is frequently employed to generate nodules of resistant ("initiated") rat hepatocytes. This regimen is a useful model for experimental analysis of alterations in hepatocytes during carcinogenesis, and also as an assay for initiation by various carcinogens. Because of the decreasing availability of carcinogen-containing diets from commercial sources, we have developed alternative methods of 2-AFF administration to generate nodules in rats initiated with N-nitrosodiethylamine. This study compared the nodule-secreting and cancer-promoting efficacy of 2-AAF administered by the Solt-Farber procedure (0.02% in diet for 2 weeks) with 2-AAF administered by gavage, as a suspension in 1% aqueous carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Three of 4 daily administrations of 2-AAF by gavage (20 mg/kg/day) followed by PH on day 4 were equivalent to the dietary regimen in generating early resistant nodules, late persistent nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas. These regimens were similar to the dietary regimen of 2-AAF in inhibiting virtually all normal hepatocyte proliferation. These regimens permit control over the duration and level of 2-AAF exposure and the resulting size of selected nodules.
