The mutational spectra of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines (HCAs), 2-
amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-b]quinoline (MeIQ), 2-amino-1-methyl-6-
phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and 2-amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (A
alphaC) were studied in the colon of Big Blue mice. In 90, 115 and 105 lacI
mutants from mice fed 300 p.p.m. MeIQ, 400 p.p.m. PhIP and 800 p.p.m. A
alphaC, respectively, 92, 115 and 105 mutations were identified.
G:C-->T:A transversions predominated with these HCAs. Mutational hot
spots for base-substitution mutations caused by MeIQ, PhIP and A alphaC
were in distinct sequence contexts; at 5'-GC-3', in runs of guanine and in
5'-CGT-3', respectively. Further, 30 of 115 (26%) PhIP-induced mutations
were G:C base pair deletions, and eight of these deletions were in
5'-GGGA-3'. The mutational characteristics of MeIQ in the lacI gene
coincided well with those in the Ha-ras gene of MeIQ-induced mouse
forestomach tumors and rat Zymbal gland tumors. The characteristic
single-base deletion induced by PhIP in the lacI gene also coincided well
with those in the Apc gene of PhIP-induced rat colon tumors. These results
suggest that the mutational characteristics of each chemical are conserved
across different genes in different species.
