2-Amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ), which is a heterocyclic amine found in food and the potent mutagen in S. typhimurium TA98, was examined for its genotoxic potential using lacI transgenic mice (Big Blue, C57BL/6N lineage). Female mice, at 7 weeks of age, were given a diet containing 0.03% MeIQ for 1, 4 and 12 weeks, and mutant frequencies (MF) were analyzed in the bone marrow, liver, forestomach, colon and heart. The MF increased in a feeding period-dependent manner. Relative to untreated mice, the MF after a 12-week-feeding of MeIQ was 38 times higher in the colon, 5.8 times higher in the bone marrow, 4.6 times higher in the liver, and 2.6 times higher in the forestomach. No increase in MF was detected in the heart, where no tumors develop.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
