The expression of the WAF1/CIP1 gene product, p21, in enzyme-altered foci (EAF) induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and phenobarbital (PB) was examined. p21 expression in the nucleus of hepatocytes in EAF was decreased compared to surrounding tissue. Fifty-eight percent of all GST-P-positive EAF induced by DEN and 79% of the EAF induced by PB were p21-negative. The proportion of p21-negative EAF increased with the size of the foci and more than 90% of the largest EAF were p21-negative. p21 is a mediator of p53 signals leading to block of the cell cycle. In conjunction with previous data indicating that p53 is not induced in GST-P-positive hepatocytes isolated from EAF-bearing rats, the results of this study suggest a role for altered signaling in the G1-S check point in rat hepatocarcinogenesis.
