Genetic background and 227Thorium as risk factors in biologically based models for induction of bone cancer in mice.
Radiat. Environ. Biophys. 51, 179-185 (2012)
We explore the potential for the biologically based two-stage clonal expansion model to make statements about the influence of genetic factors on the steps in the model. We find evidence that the different susceptibility of BALB/C and CBA/Ca mice to bone cancer after (227)Thorium injection may be mostly due to different promotional responses to radiation. In BALB/C × CBA/Ca back-crossed mice, we analyzed the specific contribution of two individual loci in the carcinogenic process. This analysis suggests that the two high- or low-risk alleles are acting on promotion or on the background parameters, but not on radiation-induced initiation. Taken together with the comparison of CBA/Ca and BALB/C mice, this hints at the possibility that the two loci are candidates for modifying radiation-induced promotion.
