Thapsigargin (Tg), applied twice weekly to the backs of CD-1 mice initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, promoted papillomas on the skin of approximately 50% of the mice. Tg alone induced papillomas in 10% of the mice. Although Tg and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) are synergistic in a keratinocyte co-culture assay for promotion, skin tumor promotion by TPA was inhibited by co-treatment with...
