Popis: We analyzed p53 mutations in 17 N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine-induced bladder transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) with or without areas of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of Long–Evans Cinnamon (LEC) and F344 rats, and in 7 N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced colon adenocarcinomas of LEC rats by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing. Of these bladder tumors, one TCC with moderately differentiated SCC had a T to G transversion mutation at codon 141, leading to a Val to Gly amino acid change. No p53 mutation was found in colon adenocarcinomas. Thus a p53 gene mutation seems infrequent in these rat bladder and colon carcinogenesis models even in the late stage.
