DNA repair defi cient Xpa-/- and Xpa-/- /p53 +/- knock-out mice in a C57BL/6 genetic background, referred to as respectively the XPA and XPA/p53 model, were investigatedinthe international collaborative research program coordinated by InternationalLife Sciences Institute(ILSI)/Health and Environmental Science Institute. From the selected list of 21 ILSI compounds, 13 were tested in the XPA model, and 10 in the XPA/p53 model. With one exception, all studies had a duration of 9 months (39 weeks). The observed spontaneous tumor incidence for the XPA model after 9 months was comparable to that of wild-type mice (total 6%). For the XPA/p53 model, this was somewhat higher (9%/13% for males/females). The 3 positive control compounds used, B[a]P, p-cresidine, and 2-AAF, gave positive and consistent tumor responses in both the XPA and XPA/p53 model, but no or lower responses in wild-type mice. From the 13 ILSI compounds tested, the single genotoxic carcinogen (phenacetin) was negative in both the XPA and XPA/p53 model. Positive tumor responses were observed for 4 compounds, the immunosuppressant cyclosporin A, the hormone carcinogens DES and estradiol, and the peroxisome proliferator WY-14,643. Negative results were obtained with 5 other nongenotoxic rodent carcinogens, and 2 noncarcinogens tested. As expected, both DNA repair defi cient models respond to genotoxiccarcinogens. Combined with previous results, 6 out of 7 (86%) of the genotoxic human and/or rodent carcinogens tested are positive in the XPA model. The positive results obtained with the 4 mentioned nongenotoxicILSI compounds may point to other carcinogenic mechanisms involved, or may raise some doubts about their true nongenotoxicnature. In general, the XPA/p53 model appears to be more sensitive to carcinogens than the XPA model.

Key Words: Carcinogens • carcinogenicity testing • DNA repair • genotoxic • nucleotide excision repair • short-term assay • tumor suppressor gene • xeroderma pigmentosum • XPA.
