Abstract excerpt
The alkylating agent 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) is a powerful carcinogen and induces squamous cell hyperplasia, squamous cell dysplasia, papilloma, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in rat oral epithelia. Oral cancers induced by a single application of 4-NQO develop through a multistage process in a way similar to the development of this cancer in humans. In this study, mutations in exons 1 and 2 of Ki-ras,...
