Modifiction of sister chromatid exchanges and radiation-induced transformation in mouse C3H/10T 1/2 and Syrian hamster embryo cells by the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and two retinoids has been studied. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate alone enhances, and retinoids alone reduce radiation-induced transformation. When both compounds were present, the retinoids not only reduced the oncogenic effects of radiation but completely eliminated the promoting effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. These results were not paralleled by changes in sister chromatid exchange frequencies.
