摘要
We studied the use of acute and chronic 5-bromo-2'-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) administration for detection of DNA-synthesizing cells in the liver and kidney of B6C3F1 male mice. Six-week-old mice were exposed to BrdU either acutely with a single-pulse (IP) injection 1 hr before sacrifice or chronically with the use of slow-release pellets or osmotic minipumps at one of four BrdU dose rates. Pellets (2.5, 10, 25, and 50 mg) and minipumps (2.5 and 10 mg equivalents) were implanted subcutaneously on the backs of the animals 4 or 7 days before sacrifice). BrdU incorporation into DNA was determined by immunohistochemistry using an anti-BrdU antibody. Mice chronically exposed to BrdU demonstrated increased levels of nuclear labeling compared with those receiving a single-pulse injection. No time-related increases in nuclear labeling were detected in hepatocytes or renal tubule cells of mice exposed to BrdU pellets and in the kidneys of mice receiving BrdU minipumps at the 7-day compared with the 4-day time point. In some cases, the labeling indices at 7 days were significantly decreased compared with those at 4 days. In contrast, a time-related increase in nuclear labeling was seen in hepatocytes and Kupffer cells of mice exposed to BrdU minipumps. Therefore, the method used to administer BrdU chronically to the animal appears to play an important role in presenting the true proliferative scenario in cell kinetic studies. Our findings also provide evidence for an effect of BrdU on normal proliferation rates in these tissues.
