2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a carcinogen found in cooked meat, was determined to be a mammary carcinogen in female Sprague-Dawley rats on a high fat diet. Forty-three-day-old female Sprague-Dawley rats received 10 doses of PhIP (75 mg/kg, p.o., days 1-5 and 8-12). Two days after the last dose of PhIP, animals were placed on a high polyunsaturated fat diet (23.5% corn oil) or a standard low fat diet (5% corn oil). After 25 weeks on the defined diet, mammary tumor incidence (average tumor mass +/- SE) was 53% (5.7 +/- 1.3 g) and 16% (2.4 +/- 0.9 g) in rats on a high fat and standard low fat diet, respectively. The histological differences in mammary gland tumors found in animals on the standard low fat diet and the high fat diet were striking. Mammary gland tumors found in PhIP-treated rats on the low fat diet were all histologically benign. The histopathological changes in these tumors included hypertrophic changes resembling the normal mammary gland, fibrocystic changes, and sclerosing adenosis. However, 80% of the mammary gland tumors found in PhIP-treated rats on a high fat diet were histologically malignant. These tumors had several malignant phenotypes including intraductal carcinoma (papillary, cribriform, and comedotype), tubular adenocarcinoma, and infiltrating duct carcinoma. The data indicate that a high fat diet in combination with a heterocyclic amine carcinogen derived from cooked meat may enhance the incidence and severity of mammary gland cancer.
