The utility of liver H-ras codon 61 CAA to AAA mutant fraction as a biomarker of liver tumor development was investigated using neonatal male mice treated with 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP). Treatment with 0.1, 0.3, or 1.0 mumol 4-ABP produced dose-dependent increases in liver DNA adducts in B6C3F(1) and C57BL/6N mice. Eight months after treatment with 0.3 mumol 4-ABP or the DMSO vehicle, H-ras codon 61 CAA to AAA mutant fraction was measured in liver DNA samples (n = 12) by allele-specific competitive blocker-polymerase chain reaction (ACB-PCR). A significant increase in average mutant fraction was found in DNA of 4-ABP-treated mice, with an increase from 1.3 x 10(-5) (control) to 44.9 x 10(-5) (treated) in B6C3F(1) mice and from 1.4 x 10(-5) to 7.0 x 10(-5) in C57BL/6N mice. Compared with C57BL/6N mutant fractions, B6C3F(1) mutant fractions were more variable and included some particularly high mutant fractions, consistent with the more rapid development of liver foci expected in B6C3F(1) mouse liver. Twelve months after treatment, liver tumors developed in 79.2% of 4-ABP-treated and 22.2% of control B6C3F(1) mice; thus measurement of H-ras mutant fraction correlated with subsequent tumor development. This study demonstrates that ACB-PCR can directly measure background levels of somatic oncogene mutation and detect a carcinogen-induced increase in such mutation.
