Persistently inhaled CE produces endometrial cancers in female mice. The first-tumor-corrected uterine endometrial incidence (I) in B6C3F1 mice is 90%, but no significant tumors occurred in F344 rats. The endometrial cancers dispersed by 1) migrating locally to the adjacent myometrium, 2) then migrating to the bloodstream by intravasation, 3) entering 17 distal organs by extravasation and adapting to the new tissue environment. Distal cancers retained sufficient endometrial cell features to be recognized at each metastatic site. CE produced one of the highest metastasis rates ever observed by NTP of 79%. Comparing CE with bromoethane (BE), a structural analogue, it was found that BE too produced rare murine endometrial cancers yielding the second highest NTP incidence rate of I\u00a0=\u00a058% with a similar high malignancy rate of 56%. Because of the historical rarity of endometrial tumors in the B6C3F1 mouse, both of these SAR haloethanes seem to be evoking a strong, related carcinogenic potential in B6C3F1 mice, but not in F344 rats. The question of whether humans are similar to mice or to rats is addressed here and in Gargas, et\u00a0al., 2008. The powerful carcinogenesis caused by these halohydrocarbons may have been caused by excessive and metabolically unresolved acetaldehyde (AC) which is directly generated by Cyp2E1 in the oxidative elimination of CE. With &gt;95% AC metabolic production, as predicted from pharmacokinetic (PK) studies depending on CE exposure, AC is the main elimination intermediate. AC is a known animal carcinogen and a strongly suspected human carcinogen. Also, CE causes incipient decreases of tissue essential glutathione pools [GSH] by Phase II conjugation metabolic elimination of CE (and BE), by glutantione transferase (GST), in most organs (except brain) exposed to high circulating CE and it metabolites. In three laboratories, an excessive stress reaction of hyperkinesis was observed only during 15,000\u00a0ppm gas exposure but not when the exposure ceased or when exposure was presented at 150\u00a0ppm. Test rodents other than the female mice did not exhibit a pattern of visible stress nor did they have a carcinogenic response to CE gas. Unremitting stress has been documented to contribute a feedback to the hypothalamus which stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-axis (HPA), which in turn, induces the adrenal glands. Because estrus and estrogen and progesterone levels were unaltered by CE gas, the adrenal over stimulation, causing high steroid output, may be the penultimate step in this extraordinary carcinogenic response. High adrenal production of corticosteroids could adversely promote endometrial cells to cancers in mice \u2212 a mechanism that has already been observed in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0748233708100371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,13]],"date-time":"2009-01-13T10:28:02Z","timestamp":1231842482000},"page":"655-675","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Analysis of chloroethane toxicity and carcinogenicity including a comparison with bromoethane"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"JW","family":"Holder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Environmental Assessment, Office of Research and Development, US Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, District of Columbia, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"241","volume":"23","author":"Anisman H","year":"1999","journal-title":"Alcohol Res Health"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/agh220"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0027-5107(94)90307-7"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"Toxicological Profile for Chloroethane.
