Relative frequencies of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-initiated foci of altered hepatocytes appearing in response to promotion by either dietary phenobarbital or a topically applied coal-derived organic mixture (CDM) were investigated in male and female rats. The focus population was examined for two histochemical markers, elevated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase [GG (+)] and iron exclusion [FE (−)], giving rise to 3 detectable focus phenotypes, ie, GG (+) foci, FE (−) foci, and GG (+)(FE (−) foci. Frequencies of the 3 phenotypes were quantitated through the use of serial frozen sectioning and computer-assisted image analysis. In agreement with our prior observations, cutaneous exposure to CDM or dietary phenobarbital promoted the expression of DEN-initiated foci. However, the current data showed that this promoting effect of CDM occurred only in females and was restricted to foci with the GG (+) FE (−) phenotype. Dietary phenobarbital, on the other hand, promoted both the GG (+) and GG (+) FE (−) phenotypes and was effective in both males and females, althouth a sex-related differential in the promoting efficiency of phenobarbital was also observed. The pronounced heterogeneity in the responses of the 3 focus phenotypes suggests that each phenotype is the consequence of a specific type of genomic alteration with a specific capacity to undergo phenotypic expression in response to a given promoting stimulus.
