A single local injection of 2.5 mumol of N-hydroxy-N-formyl-2-aminofluorene (N-hydroxy-FAF), N-hydroxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (N-hydroxy-AAF), or N-hydroxy-N-pro-pionyl-2-aminofluorene )N-hydroxy-PAF) to each of the six left mammary glands of female Sprague-Dawley derived CD rats gave a mammary tumor incidence, after 12 months, of 53% for the N-acetyl (42% adenocarcinoma, 11% fibroadenoma), 41% for the N-formyl (8% adenocarcinoma, 11% sarcoma, 22% fibroadenoma), and 33% for the N-propionyl (11% adenocarcinoma, 22% fibroadenoma) derivatives of N-hydroxy-N-2-aminofluorene, Latent periods for malignant tumor appearance (adenocarcinoma or sarcoma) was 210 days, 148 days, and 177 days, respectively, with no malignant tumors occurring in the vehicle-treated animals. In contrast, latent periods for benign tumor appearance (fibroadenoma) was 263 days for control animals, 289 days for the N-hydroxy-AAF, 324 days for the N-hydroxy-FAF, and 317 days for the N-hydroxy-PAF animals. When N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (AAF) was applied as above there was only an 8% mammary tumor incidence (4% adenocarcinoma, 4% fibroadenoma) with a latent period of 207 days for malignant tumor (adenocarcinoma) and 221 days for benign tumor (fibroadenoma) appearance. Arylhydroxamic acid N, O-acyltransferase activity has been demonstrated in the mammary glands of male, and lactating and non-lactating female Sprague-Dawley derived CD rats by means of nucleic acid binding assay. Mammary gland cytosol catalyzed tRNA adduct formation to a greater extent with N-hydroxy-FAF. AAF was not activated by this enzyme. Ammonium sulfate fractionation demonstrated the presence of two enzymes, one specific for N-hydroxy-FAF (70-80% fraction), the other specific for N-hydroxy-AAF and N-hydroxy-PAF (40-70% fraction). Moreover, gel filtration chromatography of mammary gland cytosol demonstrated the presence of two enzymes of differing acyl specificity. Mammary gland microsomes catalyzed the formation of tRNA adducts, but only with the N-hydroxy-FAF derivative. Assays that tested the mutagenic potential of the arylhydroxamic acids in Salmonella typhimurium TA-1538 with either mammary gland cytosol or microsomes demonstrated the order of mutagenicity to be N-hydroxy-FAF greater than N-hydroxy-AAF greater than N-hydroxy-PAF. A similar order of mutagenicity was demonstrated without an external metabolic activation system. These data demonstrate that the presence of two distinct enzymes in the rat mammary gland that activate arylhydroxamic acids.
