This paper describes the development of a relatively rapid single-dose model for induction of lung adenomas in female A/J mice by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). Mice maintained on AIN-76A semi-synthetic diet were given a single i.p. dose of 2.5, 5 or 10 .mu.mol NNK in saline and killed 3-7 months later. Maximum lung tumor induction, measured by lung tumors per mouse (tumor multiplicity), occurred in 3.5 months. There was no significant incresae in tumor multiplicity between 3.5 and 7 months. Four months after treatment, numbers of lung tumors per mouse were 11.9 .+-. 1.0 (10 .mu.mol NNK), 3.6 .+-. 0.4 (5 .mu.mol) and 0.07 .+-. 0.1 (saline). Lung tumor multiplicity in mice treated with a single dose of 10 .mu.mol NNK and maintained on AIN-76A diet was significantly higher (8.3 .+-. 0.5) than in mice treated with NNK and maintained on NIH-07 diet (2.5 .+-. 0.3). The results of this study establish a useful bioassay for identification of compound that can modify NNK-induced lung tumorigenesis.
