The human normal breast cell line MCF-10A is being widely used as a model in toxicity studies due to its structural similarity to the normal human mammary epithelium.

Rat embryo fibroblast cell line 6 was transfected with plasmid pT24, which contains the activated human bladder c-Ha-ras oncogene, and the cells were grown continuously in the absence or presence of the tumor promoters 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or teleocidin. The presence of TPA or teleocidin led to a 6- to 14-fold increase in the number of morphologically transformed foci. No transformed foci were seen when rat 6 cells were transfected with the normal c-Ha-ras oncogene in the absence or presence of TPA, or in cells simply treated with TPA or teleocidin. Enhancement of pT24-induced foci was seen even when the addition of TPA was delayed until day 16. In transfection studies with the drug resistance genes gpt and neo, TPA and teleocidin did not increase the number of Gpt+ or Neo+ colonies. When rat 6 cells were cotransfected with pT24 and neo genes and grown in the absence or presence of TPA, the presence of TPA did not increase the yield of Neo+ colonies but caused a fivefold increase in the number of Neo+ colonies that displayed a transformed morphology. Southern blot analyses of DNAs obtained from these clones indicated that TPA treatment did not influence the extent of integration of either the pT24 or neo gene. DNA samples from all of the morphologically transformed cells displayed a characteristic 2-kilobase SacI fragment homologous to pT24 DNA and expressed relatively high levels of the corresponding mRNA. Our findings indicate that in this system tumor promoters do not simply enhanced the process of DNA transfection per se. Thus, this model system may be useful for analyzing synergistic interactions between tumor promoters and activated oncogenes during multistage carcinogenesis. It may also serve as a simple screening test for detecting new tumor promoters.
