When V79 cells are incubated in the presence of radiolabeled retinol, a small but consistent amount of radioactivity remains associated with nuclear DNA. Chromatographic analysis of enzymatic hydrolysates of DNA shows that no irreversible changes, such as adducts, haven taken place on DNA. We present evidence that this radioactive incorporation may occur via a metabolic conversion of retinol, leading mainly to the formation of radiolabeled thymidine, which is then incorporated into newly made DNA. Mutagenic effects by retinol, given at concentrations well above physiological levels, have been also excluded.
