The effect of DMBA on hamster cheek pouch mucosa in vitro: constant exposure. 1983

D Mock, and J H Main, and R Delgado Fdez

Repeated topical application of DMBA to hamster cheek pouch mucosa in vivo has been shown to cause dysplastic changes and ultimately the development of squamous cell carcinomas in the epithelium. A technique has already been reported whereby neonatal hamster pouch mucosa can be maintained in vitro and dysplastic changes have been described in the epithelium after a single exposure to DMBA. By 35 days in organ culture, these changes disappeared and the epithelium regained its normal organotypic morphology. In this study, the tissue was maintained in vitro in medium containing various concentrations of DMBA for up to 49 days. Dysplastic changes were seen in the epithelium of the explants with some histological evidence of malignant behaviour. These changes were observed throughout the experimental period.

D000287 Administration, Topical The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.
