• Description:
  A study has been initiated to investigate the carcinogenicity of 4,4-methylene bis(2-chloroaniline)(MOCA) and 2-phenyl-l,4-benzoquinone (PBQ) and to identify biomarkers of effects of exposure to these workplace-associated suspect carcinogens. High resolution two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE) was used to examine changes in protein expression in chemically-treated human uroepithelial cells (HUC). Previously, HUC has been shown to be sensitive to malignant transformation by 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) and its metabolites (Bookland, et., at, Cancer Research, 52;160&1614, 1992). HUC was incubated for 24hr with the controls, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)or N-OH-AABP as well as N-OH-MOCA(2.5 and .10 uM), or PBQ (1.5.and 3.5 uM) which resulted in 25% and 75% cell kill, respectively. A 2D PAGE protein map of treated HUC was developed using the ISO-DALT method of Anderson. Electrophoretic pattern comparison across treatment groups by scanning densitometer and computer analysis revealed quantitative changes in a specific subset of proteins in the 10 uM MOCA-treated HUC and N-OH-AABP-treated HUC but not the DMSO-treated HUC. Preliminary studies of tumor incidence in athymic mice suggest that neo-plastic transformation occurred only in the 10 uM MOCA-treated HUC. These results show that occupational chemical exposure of HUC results in 2D PAGE protein alterations which may be useful for the identification of biomarkers associated with bladder tumorigenesis.
