Hormonal and genetic factors strongly influence the susceptibility of inbred mice to hepatocarcinogenesis. Female C57BR/cdJ (BR) mice are extremely susceptible to liver tumor induction relative to other strains because they are genetically insensitive to the inhibition of hepatocarcinogenesis by ovarian hormones. To determine the genetic basis for the sensitivity of BR mice relative to resistant C57BL/6J (B6) mice, we treated 12-day-old B6BRF1 x B6 and B6BRF1 x B6BRF1 (F2) animals with N,N-diethylnitrosamine (0.1 micromol/g of body weight) and enumerated liver tumors at 32 weeks of age in males and at 50 weeks in females. Genomic DNA samples from backcross and F2 mice were analyzed for 70 informative simple sequence length polymorphism markers. Genetic markers on chromosome 17 (D17Mit21) and chromosome 1 (D1Mit33) cosegregated with high tumor multiplicity in both sexes. Together, these loci [designated Hcf1 and Hcf2 (Hepatocarcinogenesis in females), respectively] account for virtually all of the difference in sensitivity between BR and B6 mice. The Hcf1 locus accounts for a majority of the higher susceptibility of BR mice of both sexes. Backcross female mice heterozygous at both loci (33 +/- 23 tumors per mouse) and at Hcf1 only (17 +/- 18) were 15- and 8-fold more sensitive, respectively, than mice homozygous for the B6 alleles at Hcf1 and Hcf2 (2.2 +/- 3.9). In backcross male mice, the double heterozygotes (35 +/- 22) and Hcf1 heterozygotes (28 +/- 12) were 5.4- and 4.3-fold more sensitive than mice homozygous for B6 alleles at both loci (6.5 +/- 5.4).
