Proliferative lesions induced by 2,6-dimethylaniline (DMA) in a two-stage rat nasal carcinogenesis model were immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally investigated. Male F344 rats received diet containing 3,000 ppm DMA for 52 weeks after initiation with a single subcutaneous injection of 2400 mg/kg of N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine (DHPN). Histopathologically, proliferation of Bowman's glands, glandular hyperplasias, dysplastic foci, adenomas, and carcinomas were observed in treated rats. These nasal lesions mostly arose in the olfactory mucosa of the nasal cavity. Immunohistochemically, they were positive for cytokeratin and/or collagen type IV antibodies. Ultrastructurally, intracytoplasmic dense secretory granules (200—850 nm in diameter), identical to those in normal Bowman's glands, were observed in all the lesions, providing further support from an origin from these glands. Based on their cellular characterization, growth pattern and/or proliferative activity, two morphological continua were evident, one from dysplastic foci to carcinomas and the other from proliferation of Bowman's glands to glandular hyperplasias and adenomas. These results suggest that dysplastic foci arise from Bowman's glands and progress to carcinomas, while proliferation of Bowman's glands result in glandular hyperplasias and adenomas.

Key Words: Bowman's gland • carcinogenicity • 2,6-dimethylaniline • N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine • nasal cavity • proliferative lesions • rat
