We have studied the proliferation of cells in two models of chemical hepatocarcinogenesis. The cells were genetically labeled in vivo using retrovirally mediated transfer of the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase marker gene coupled to a nuclear localization signal (nls-lacZ gene). In the first carcinogenic model, rats were fed a choline-deficient diet containing 2-acetylaminofluorene, and their livers were perfused with recombinant retrovirus at the onset of oval cell proliferation. The second model was based on the administration of diethylnitrosamine coupled with a partial hepatectomy and is thought to induce cancer with no involvement of oval cells. Analysis of beta-galactosidase expression in the liver at various times after gene transfer revealed the presence of large clusters of positive cells in both models. Moreover, the beta-galactosidase-positive cells displayed morphologic, antigenic, and enzymatic profiles consistent with a hepatocyte phenotype. Our results, therefore, provide evidence for a strikingly similar clonal proliferation of apparently normal hepatocytes during the course of 2-acetylaminofluorene- as well as diethylnitrosamine-induced liver carcinogenesis.
