Wy-14,643 (WY), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha agonist, and piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a pesticide synergist, induce oxidative stress and promote hepatocarcinogenesis in the liver of rodents.

Arch Toxicol. 2010 Apr;84(4):319-31. Epub 2009 Dec 20.


To elucidate the role of metal-related molecules in hepatocarcinogenesis, we examined immunolocalization of transferrin receptor (Tfrc), ceruloplasmin (Cp) and metallothionein (MT)-1/2 in relation to liver cell foci positive for glutathione-S-transferase placental form (GST-P) in the early stage of tumor promotion by fenbendazole (FB), phenobarbital, piperonyl butoxide or thioacetamide in a rat two-stage hepatocarcinogenesis model.
