Proliferative vascular lesions of the heart were found in mice exposed chronically to 1,3-butadiene by inhalation with an overall incidence of 30% in males and 43% in females. Based on histological criteria, the lesions were subclassified as endothelial hyperplasia with an incidence of 7% in males and 13% in females and hemangiosarcoma with an incidence of 23% and 30%, respectively. A dose-relationship for both lesions was observed in females, but not in males. The absence of a dose response in males was most likely due to the lower survival rate for high-dose animals (14%) when compared to the lower-dose animals (22%). Endothelial hyperplasia was characterized by widened vascular spaces lined by a single layer of plump endothelial cells. When cellular pleomorphism and piling up of endothelial nuclei were observed, the lesion was diagnosed as hemangiosarcoma. Ultrastructural examination of hemangiosarcomas revealed lumen formation, intercellular junctions and cytoplasmic filaments. Pinocytotic vesicles which are 1 of the characteristics of endothelial cells could not be identified with certainty. Weibel-Palade bodies were not detected in the neoplastic endothelium. Metastatic lesions were observed in liver, lung and kidney. To date, 1,3-butadiene is the only carcinogen reported that induces proliferative vascular lesions in the heart of mice.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006965	Hyperplasia	An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells.	Hyperplasias
D008297	Male		Males
D008815	Mice, Inbred Strains	Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.	Inbred Mouse Strains,Inbred Strain of Mice,Inbred Strain of Mouse,Inbred Strains of Mice,Mouse, Inbred Strain,Inbred Mouse Strain,Mouse Inbred Strain,Mouse Inbred Strains,Mouse Strain, Inbred,Mouse Strains, Inbred,Strain, Inbred Mouse,Strains, Inbred Mouse
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D002070	Butadienes	Four carbon unsaturated hydrocarbons containing two double bonds.	Butadiene Derivative,Butadiene Derivatives,Derivative, Butadiene,Derivatives, Butadiene
D005260	Female		Females
D006338	Heart Neoplasms	Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.

D006394	Hemangiosarcoma	A rare malignant neoplasm characterized by rapidly proliferating, extensively infiltrating, anaplastic cells derived from blood vessels and lining irregular blood-filled or lumpy spaces. (Stedman, 25th ed)	Angiosarcoma,Angiosarcomas,Hemangiosarcomas
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012737	Sex Factors	Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from SEX CHARACTERISTICS, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from SEX DISTRIBUTION, the number of males and females in given circumstances.
