The effects of cyclosporine (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent, on azaserine-induced pancreatic carcinogenesis in rats were investigated using the short-term assays of the quantitation of atypical acinar cell foci. Male Lewis rats at 14 days of age were given a single intraperitoneal injection of azaserine (30 mg/kg). At 25 days of age, the treated rats were weaned and divided into two groups fed either basal diet or the same diet containing 0.011% CsA. Saline-injected rats were also fed the CsA diet. Rats were killed 4 months after azaserine injection and acidophilic and basophilic foci in the pancreas were quantified. The pancreas of the rats given saline injection and maintained on the CsA diet showed no significnt histological alterations. The dietary CsA after the injection of azaserine markedly reduced the number of both acidophilic and basophilic foci. It is concluded that addition of CsA to the diet inhibits the growth of initiated cells to form foci in the pancreas of azaserinetreated rats. The experimental model is useful in analyzing the modifying role of this immunosuppresant in the induction and growth of epithelial cell tumors.
