Abstract

A total of 75 BALB/cStCrlfC3H/Nctr male weanling mice were administered either 0 or 250 ppm of 4 ethylsulfonylnaphthalene-1-sulfonamide (ENS) in the diet for periods up to 14 days to evaluate the early morphological changes of the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder with scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Primary TEM changes included hyperplasia of the epithelium, loosening of the intercellular junctions, autophagic vacuoles and electron dense granules in the mitochondria. Primary SEM changes included sloughing of epithelial cells, irregularity in the size and shape of the transitional epithelial cells and the presence of microvilli. Although pleomorphic microvilli were present after only three days of treatment with ENS, it appears that they are a transient observation in a series of morphological changes. The reversibility or transient nature of the pleomorphic microvilli may indicate that they are an acute toxic response and may not necessarily indicate a preneoplastic change.
