The modifying effects of administrating an ethyl acetate extract of "Kurosu" (EK), a vinegar made from unpolished rice, on development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats. We also assessed the effects of EK on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index in ACF, prostaglandin (PG) E2 expression in the colonic mucosa and activities of detoxifying enzymes of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR) in the liver. To induce ACF, rats were given two weekly subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg body wt). They also received drinking water containing 0, 0.05, 0.1 or 0.2% EK for 4 weeks, starting 1 week before the first dosing of AOM. AOM exposure produced 140 +/- 23 ACF/rat at the end of the study (week 4). EK administration dose-dependently inhibited ACF formation and inhibition by 0.2% EK was statistically significant (P < 0.002). Treatment with EK significantly lowered PCNA index in ACF and reduced PGE2 content in the colonic mucosa, while EK elevated liver GST and QR activities. These findings suggest that EK may be effective for inhibiting colonic ACF, through induction of liver GST and QR and possibly alteration of PGE2 production. 相似文献

The modifying effects of dietary feeding of a polyisoprenylated benzophenone, garcinol, isolated from Garcinia indica fruit rind on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats. We also assessed the effects of garcinol on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index in ACF and activities of detoxifying enzymes of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR) in liver. In addition, we examined the effects of garcinol on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced O(2)(-) generation in differentiated human promyelocytic HL-60 cells and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and interferon (IFN)-gamma-induced nitric oxide (NO) generation in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Western blotting analysis of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression was done in LPS- and IFN-gamma-treated mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Rats were given subcutaneous injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body wt) once a week for 3 weeks to induce ACF. They also received the experimental diet containing 0.01 or 0.05% garcinol for 5 weeks, starting 1 week before the first dosing of AOM. AOM exposure produced 97 +/- 15 ACF/rat at the end of the study (week 5). Dietary administration of garcinol caused significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: 72 +/- 15 (26% reduction, P < 0.01) at a dose of 0.01% and 58 +/- 8 (40% reduction, P < 0.001) at a dose of 0.05%. Garcinol administration significantly lowered PCNA index in ACF. Feeding of garcinol significantly elevated liver GST and QR activities. In addition, garcinol could suppress O(2)(-) and NO generation and expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins. These findings might suggest possible chemopreventive ability of garcinol, through induction of liver GST and QR, inhibition of O(2)(-) and NO generation and/or suppression of iNOS and COX-2 expression, on colon tumorigenesis. 相似文献

Increased Cell Proliferation of Azoxymethane-induced Aberrant Crypt Foci of Rat Colon 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:3

Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were induced in the colon of F344 rats by s.c. injection of azoxymethane (AOM) twice in a three day-interval and examined after 4 and 12 weeks. The number and crypt multiplicity of ACF in each section of rat colon increased during this period. Histologically, aberrant crypts consisted of proliferating atypical epithelial cells. Cell proliferation of ACF consisting of 4 aberrant crypts [ACF(4)] and 2 aberrant crypts [ACF(2)], and normal crypts in the colon of rats treated with AOM [normal crypts/AOM(+)] or saline [normal crypts/AOM(-)] was investigated by measurement of the mitotic index, proliferating cell nuclear antigen-labeling index (PCNA-LI), and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine-labeling index (BrdU-LI). All three parameters of the cell proliferative activity of ACF(4) were higher than those of normal crypts/AOM(+) and normal crypts/AOM(-). The PCNA-LI and BrdU-LI in ACF(2) were the same as those in ACF(4). These findings suggest that ACF have increased cell proliferative activity. The correlation of these three parameters confirmed that the PCNA-LI is also a useful parameter for evaluating cell proliferative activity in ACF. The presence of many cells stained by PCNA in the upper portion of ACF suggested that ACF have more G1 phase cells, which readily respond to mitogenic stimulation, than G0 phase cells, which are predominant in normal crypts. 相似文献

Chemoprevention of azoxymethane-induced rat colon carcinogenesis by dietary capsaicin and rotenone 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The modifying effects of dietary administration of capsaicin, which is the principal pungent capsicum fruit, and rotenone, which is a naturally occurring pesticide derived from Derris and Lonchorcarpus species, on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumorigenesis were investigated in male F344 rats. Gavage with capsaicin and rotenone significantly elevated phase II enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), in the liver and colon. In an aberrant crypt foci (ACF) bioassay, feeding of capsaicin and rotenone at a dose of 500 ppm for 4 weeks significantly inhibited ACF formation induced by AOM (20 mg/kg body weight, once a week for 2 weeks). In a subsequent long-term study designed to confirm the protective effects of both compounds on ACF development, one group was treated with AOM alone and four other groups received the carcinogen treatment plus diets containing 500 ppm test compounds for 4 weeks (initiation phase) and for 34 weeks (post-initiation phase). Two groups were treated with capsaicin or rotenone alone (500 ppm in diet) and one group was maintained on the basal diet. At the termination of the study, dietary exposure of capsaicin during the initiation phase was found to significantly reduce the incidence of colonic adenocarcinoma (60% vs. 24%, 60% reduction, P=0.0407). Rotenone feeding during the post-initiation phase also reduced the frequency of colonic adenocarcinoma (60% vs. 19%, 68% reduction, P=0.0226). Our results suggest that two natural compounds, capsaicin and rotenone, might be useful for the prevention of human colon cancers. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of the two fractions, aqueous (AEP) and ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEP) of the Brazilian propolis on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Male Wistar Hannover (GALAS) rats were administered two weekly subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg bw) and fed with diets mixed with AEP (100, 500 and 1,000 ppm) or EEP (500 and 1,000 ppm) for 4 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. The modifying effects of the test extracts on ACF formation were assessed by counting the incidence and multiplicity of ACF at week 4. Proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-labeling nuclei and apoptotic index were also immunohistochemically determined. Dietary supplementation with AEP and EEP significantly reduced the multiplicity of ACF with the effect of EEP being more potent than AEP. In the ACF and their surrounding non-lesional crypts, significantly lowered cell proliferation was observed in the rats, administered with AOM, and the extracts, while neither fraction affected the apoptotic index. Our findings suggest that AEP and EEP possess a chemopreventive ability in the early phase of colon carcinogenesis through the modulation of cell proliferation. 相似文献

The modifying effects of dietary feeding with chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats. We also assessed the effect of chrysin on mitosis and apoptosis in 'normal appearing' crypts. To induce ACF, rats were given two weekly subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg body weight). They also received an experimental diet containing chrysin (0.001 or 0.01%) for 4 weeks, starting 1 week before the first dose of AOM. AOM exposure produced a substantial number of ACF (73+/-13/rat) at the end of the study (week 4). Dietary administration of chrysin caused significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: 0.001% chrysin, 37+/-17/rat (49% reduction, P<0.001); and 0.01% chrysin, 40+/-10/rat (45% reduction, P<0.001). In addition, chrysin administration significantly reduced the mitotic index and significantly increased the apoptotic index in 'normal appearing' crypts. These findings might suggest a possible chemopreventive activity of chrysin in the early step of colon tumorigenesis through modulation of cryptal cell proliferation activity and apoptosis. 相似文献

The modifying effects of dietary administration of natural compounds, caffeine, quercetin and morin, which are present in our daily food, on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in rats and compared to that of a metabolic inhibitor of AOM, disulfiram. Male F344 rats were given s. c. injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 3 weeks to induce ACF. They also received the experimental diets containing one of test compounds (500 ppm) for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. At the termination of the study (week 5), AOM exposure produced 101.0+/-10.2 ACF/rat. Disulfiram almost completely inhibited ACF development (0.60+/-0.90, 99% reduction). Dietary administration of test compounds caused significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: caffeine (70.4+/-16.6, 30% reduction), quercetin (53.0+/-8.4, 48% reduction) and morin (37. 6+/-18.1, 63% reduction). Numbers of cells positive for proliferative cell nuclear antigen in ACF and surrounding crypts were lowered by feeding of test compounds. Feeding of these test compounds also suppressed polyamine content in the colonic mucosa and blood as did disulfiram. These findings might indicate possible chemopreventive effects of caffeine, quercetin and morin, through their modulation of cell proliferation activity in crypt cells, on colon tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The dietary effect of monoglucosyl-rutin (M-R), a flavonoid, on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in two experiments with 5 week old, F344 male rats. In the first experiment (5 weeks study), effects of MR on AOM (15 mg/kg body weight 3 times weekly)-induced formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in five groups were assessed. In this experiment, group 3 given 500 ppm M-R with AOM had a significantly smaller number of ACF containing 4 or more aberrant crypts than group 1 with AOM alone, and groups 2 and 3 given 100 ppm or 500 ppm M-R respectively had significantly lower BrdU labeling indices in the epithelial cells of large bowel than group 1. For the second experiment, rats were divided into 8 groups. Groups 1-5 were given AOM as in the first experiment. Groups 2-5 were fed diets containing 100ppm or 500ppm M-R for 4 weeks in the initiation phase or 36 weeks in the post-initiation phase. Group 6 was given 500ppm M-R throughout the experiment, and group 7 was kept on the basal diet and served as a control. At the termination of the experiment (40 weeks after the start), groups 2-5 had significantly smaller numbers of positive cells with anti-proliferating cell nuclea antigen (PCNA) antibody than group 1. Furthermore, group 5 treated with 500ppm M-R for 36 weeks demonstrated tendencies for decrease in the incidence and multiplicity of colon tumors. These data suggest that M-R has the potential to inhibit AOMinduced colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

The inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) are overexpressed in colonic tumors of humans, as well as in colon tumors that develop in rats after the administration of the colon-specific carcinogen, azoxymethane (AOM). iNOS may regulate COX-2 production of proinflammatory prostaglandins, which are known to play a key role in colon tumor development. Experiments were designed to assess the potential chemopreventive properties of highly selective iNOS inhibitors, administered individually and in combination with a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on the development of AOM-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF). F344 rats were fed experimental diets containing one of the following: 0, 10, 30, or 100 parts/million (ppm) of the selective iNOS inhibitor L-N(6)-(1-iminoethyl)lysine tetrazole-amide (SC-51); 1800 ppm of the less potent, selective iNOS inhibitor aminoguanidine (AG); 500 ppm of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib; 320 ppm of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory sulindac (positive control); or 30 ppm of SC-51 with 500 ppm of celecoxib, and 100 ppm of SC-51 with 500 ppm of celecoxib. One and 2 weeks later, rats received s.c. injections of AOM at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight. At 17 weeks of age, all rats were sacrificed. Colons were evaluated for ACF, and colonic mucosae were assayed for COX and NOS isoform enzyme activities. Samples of venous blood, collected at various time points, were analyzed for these agents. SC-51, administered alone, demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of the incidence of colonic ACF. The highest doses of SC-51 (100 ppm) and AG (1800 ppm) significantly suppressed the incidence of colonic ACF (P < 0.01 and < 0.001, respectively) and crypt multiplicity in terms of numbers of aberrant crypts/focus (P < 0.0001). Importantly, the combination of either low or high effective doses of SC-51 (30 or 100 ppm) and celecoxib (500 ppm) suppressed AOM-induced colonic ACF formation (P < 0.05 and < 0.001, respectively) and reduced multiplicity of four or more aberrant crypts/focus (P < 0.0001) to a greater extent than did these agents administered individually. As expected, sulindac inhibited colonic ACF formation (P < 0.001) and reduced the multiplicity of four or more aberrant crypts (P < 0.0001) to approximately 45%. The enzymatic activities of COX-2 and iNOS were significantly induced in the AOM-treated animals, and administration of the iNOS inhibitors, SC-51 and AG, significantly inhibited the activities of both iNOS and COX-2 in the colonic mucosa. The combined administration of SC-51 and celecoxib inhibited the COX-2 activity to a greater extent than did either of these agents administered alone. These findings support the hypothesis that selective iNOS inhibitors may have chemopreventive properties and that coadministration with a selective COX-2 inhibitor may have additional chemopreventive potential. 相似文献

Suppression of occurrence and advancement of premalignant lesions is important for cancer prevention. Our previous studies clarified that β-catenin-accumulated crypts, independent of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), are probably direct precursors of colon cancers in rats. Here we investigated the effects of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, on the development of β-catenin-accumulated crypts in comparison with those on ACF. Male F344 rats were divided into 4 groups. Groups 1-3 were administered azoxymethane (AOM) s.c. at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, once weekly for 3 weeks to induce β-catenin-accumulated crypts. Groups 2 and 3 also received experimental diet containing celecoxib (500 and 1500 ppm, respectively) for 8 weeks, starting a week before the first dosing of AOM. At termination, the frequency and crypt multiplicity (number of crypts/lesion) of β-catenin-accumulated crypts of groups 2 and 3 were significantly less than that of group 1. Furthermore, numbers of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs)/nucleus in β-catenin-accumulated crypts were also decreased by exposure to celecoxib. In this study, celecoxib had greater effects on the frequency and growth of β-catenin-accumulated crypts than on those of ACF. These findings represent additional evidence that β-catenin-accumulated crypts are premalignant lesions of colon cancer. The results also suggest that β-catenin-accumulated crypts could be a novel target for evaluation of possible chemopreventive agents against colon carcino-genesis, and indicate that possible chemopreventive effects of celecoxib on the initial stage of colon carcinogenesis may be related to modulation of cell proliferation activity in such early lesions. 相似文献

Aberrant crypts correlate with tumor incidence in F344 rats treated with azoxymethane and phytate. 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Aberrant crypts are putative preneoplastic lesions that have been proposed as intermediate biomarkers for colon cancer. The goals of these studies were to determine (i) if the colon cancer chemopreventive agent, sodium phytate, when started 1 week after a single dose of carcinogen, has any effect on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in treated rats; and (ii) if ACF at an early time period under these conditions correlate with the later formation of tumors in similarly treated animals. The number of ACF with four or more crypts was greater (P = 0.02, Mann-Whitney test) in rats with tumors compared with rats without tumors killed at 36 weeks after the injection of azoxymethane (AOM); the total number of ACF was not significantly different in these two groups. The incidence of tumors in F344 rats treated with AOM without phytate was 83% (10/12) compared to 25% (3/12) in rats treated with AOM plus phytate (P = 0.0045, two-tail Fisher's exact test). The finding of more (P = 0.005, Mann-Whitney test) ACF with four or more crypts in rats without phytate than in rats with phytate at 12 weeks after the injection of AOM is consistent with the hypothesis that the development of larger ACF (with four or more crypts) is predictive of the tumor incidence. These results validate the use of this parameter, i.e. ACF with four or more crypts, as an intermediate biomarker for tumor incidence in this system. 相似文献

Prevention by retinoids of azoxymethane-induced tumors and aberrant crypt foci and their modulation of cell proliferation in the colon of rats 总被引:7,自引:6,他引:1

Retinoids are proposed chemopreventive agents that inhibit cell
proliferation and induce differentiation. Their ability to prevent
azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and tumors and to
modulate cell proliferation was investigated in the colon of male F344
rats. Thirteen retinoids were evaluated for prevention of ACF and two of
them, 9-cis-retinoic acid (RA) and 4-(hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4- HPR),
were also evaluated for prevention of colon cancer. The retinoids were
administered continuously in the diet starting 1 week prior to the first of
two weekly 15 mg/kg i.p. injections of AOM and for a total of either 5 or
36 weeks in order to evaluate their effect on colonic ACF and tumors. At a
concentration of 1 mmol/kg diet, 2- (carboxyphenyl)retinamide caused the
greatest reduction (57.7%) in the yield of ACF. 9-cis-RA was toxic at 1
mmol/kg so that it was evaluated at 0.1 mmol/kg, resulting in a 41.6%
reduction in ACF. The ability of the retinoids to reduce the proliferating
cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling index in ACF and in non-involved
crypts correlated with their ability to prevent ACF. Both 9-cis-RA (0.1 and
0.2 mmol/kg diet) and 4- HPR (1 and 2 mmol/kg diet) were highly effective
in decreasing the yield of AOM-induced colon tumors. In summary, retinoids
were demonstrated to reduce cell proliferation and to prevent ACF and
tumors in the colon, suggesting promise as preventive agents for colon
cancer.

Cyclin D1 is a cell cycle regulator which is overexpressed in a variety of human cancers. We examined overexpression of cyclin D1 in several stages of rat colorectal carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane (AOM) treatment. The level of cyclin D1 in 13 aberrant crypt foci (ACF) (atypical hyperplasias), 22 colorectal tumors (14 non-invasive adenocarcinomas and eight invasive adenocarcinomas) was assessed by immunostaining using a polyclonal antibody. Cell proliferation of these samples was investigated by measurement of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine-labeling index. Indices of cyclin D1-positive cells in adenocarcinomas and atypical hyperplasias were significantly higher than that in normal crypts (P<0.05). Moreover, cyclin D1-positive rates in the two types of adenocarcinomas were significantly higher than that in atypical hyperplasias (P<0.05). Staining of nuclear cyclin D1 was very strong in almost all adenocarcinomas and four ACF. Comparisons of BrdU-positive indices in colorectal lesions showed similar results to the cyclin D1-positive indices. These results suggested that overexpession of cyclin D1 occurs early in the multistep carcinogenesis, and plays an important role in rat colorectal carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Azoxymethane (AOM) is an organotropic colon carcinogen that is commonly used to induce colon tumors in rodents. Unlike its parent compound, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), a tumor susceptibility phenotype in inbred mice with respect to AOM has not been established. Thus, this study was undertaken to determine whether genetic susceptibility extends to this carcinogen. SWR/J, A/J (both susceptible to DMH carcinogenesis) and AKR/J (resistant) mice were treated with 10 mg/kg AOM i.p. once a week for 8 weeks. Twenty-five weeks after the initial injection, tumor yield was determined. With a single exception, only SWR/J and A/J mice developed tumors, with a distribution that was limited to the distal colon (16.3±1.1 and 36.4±2.4, respectively). The formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), putative preneoplastic lesions, was also assessed in whole-mount colons using Methylene Blue staining. Consistent with tumor multiplicity, the total number of ACF was highest in A/J mice, followed by SWR/J mice. In addition, A/J mice had a significantly greater number of large ACF (five or more crypts per foci) than the other strains. Despite the absence of colon tumors, however, AKR/J mice did develop a significant number of ACF. This finding suggests that ACF in resistant mice are persistent but do not progress to tumors. 相似文献

Suppression of azoxymethane-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci by a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS), an important bioregulator of a variety of biological processes, is overexpressed in colonic tumors of humans and rodents. In this study, effects of L-N(G)-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a NOS inhibitor, on development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by azoxymethane (AOM) in F344 male rats were investigated. Six-week-old male F344 rats were fed diets containing 0 or 100 ppm L-NAME, and given s.c. injections of AOM at 15 mg/kg body wt, once a week for 2 weeks. At 17 weeks of age, all animals were sacrificed and their colons were evaluated for numbers of ACF. Feeding of 100 ppm L-NAME inhibited the development of ACF in different sizes by 24-39%, those containing four or more crypts being most markedly affected. Assessment of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions protein (AgNORs)/nucleus further revealed a 44% reduction by administration of L-NAME. These results suggest that the NOS inhibitor, L-NAME, may be an effective chemopreventive agent against colon carcinogenesis due to depression of cell proliferation. 相似文献

A xanthine oxidase inhibitor 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate inhibits azoxymethane-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci in rats 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:2

The modifying effect of dietary administration of a xanthine oxidase
inhibitor 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) present in an edible plant
Languas galanga in Thailand on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-
induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was investigated in rats. Male
F344 rats were given s.c. injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body wt) once a week
for 3 weeks to induce colonic ACF. They were fed the diets containing 100
or 200 ppm ACA for 5 weeks, starting 1 week before the first dosing of AOM.
At the termination of the study (week 5), AOM induced 118 +/- 28 ACF/colon.
Dietary administration of ACA caused significant reduction in the frequency
of ACF (41% inhibition by 100 ppm ACA feeding and 37% inhibition by 200 ppm
ACA feeding, P<0.01). Such inhibition might be associated with
suppression of the proliferation biomarkers' expression such as ornithine
decarboxylase activity in the colonic mucosa, number of silver-stained
nucleolar organizer regions' protein in the colonic mucosal cell nuclei and
blood polyamine content. These results indicate that ACA could inhibit the
development of AOM-induced ACF through its suppression of cell
proliferation in the colonic mucosa and ACA might be a possible
chemopreventive agent against colon tumourigenesis.

Dietary Conjugated Linolenic Acid Inhibits Azoxymethane-induced Colonic Aberrant Crypt Foci in Rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The modifying effects of dietary feeding of conjugated linolenic acid (CLN) isolated from the seeds of bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia ) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats to predict its possible cancer chemopreventive efficacy. The effect of CLN on the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index in colonic ACF was also examined. Rats were given subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/ kg body weight) once a week for 2 weeks to induce ACF. They also received the experimental diet containing 0.01%, 0.1% or 1% CLN for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. AOM exposure produced a substantial number of ACF (108±21/rat) at the end of the study (week 4). Dietary administration of CLN caused a significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: 87±14 (19.4% reduction, P <0.05) at a dose of 0.01%, 69±28 (36.1% reduction, P <0.01) at a dose of 0.1% and 40±d6 (63.0% reduction, P <0.001) at a dose of 1%. Also, CLN administration lowered the PCNA index and induced apoptosis in ACF. These findings might suggest possible chemopreventive activity of CLN in the early phase of colon tumorigenesis through modulation of cryptal cell proliferation activity and/or apoptosis. 相似文献

The modifying effects of dietary feeding of conjugated linolenic acid (CLN) isolated from the seeds of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats to predict its possible cancer chemopreventive efficacy. The effect of CLN on the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index in colonic ACF was also examined. Rats were given subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 2 weeks to induce ACF. They also received the experimental diet containing 0.01%, 0.1% or 1% CLN for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. AOM exposure produced a substantial number of ACF (108 +/- 21/rat) at the end of the study (week 4). Dietary administration of CLN caused a significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: 87 +/- 14 (19.4% reduction, P < 0.05) at a dose of 0.01%, 69 +/- 28 (36.1% reduction, P < 0.01) at a dose of 0.1% and 40 +/- 6 (63.0% reduction, P < 0.001) at a dose of 1%. Also, CLN administration lowered the PCNA index and induced apoptosis in ACF. These findings might suggest possible chemopreventive activity of CLN in the early phase of colon tumorigenesis through modulation of cryptal cell proliferation activity and/or apoptosis. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species cause damage to proteins, lipids and DNA. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a compound withmitochondrial bioenergetic functions. The reduced form of CoQ10 shows antioxidant activity. In the present study,effects of CoQ10 on development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin-depletedfoci (MDF) in F344 male rats were investigated. To induce ACF and MDF, 6-week old rats were given two weeklysubcutaneous injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight) and also received a control diet or experimental dietscontaining CoQ10 (200 or 500 ppm) for 4 weeks, starting one day before the first dose of AOM. At 10 weeks of age,all animals were sacrificed and their colons were evaluated for numbers and sizes of ACF and MDF. Administrationof 200 and 500 ppm CoQ10 resulted in reduction of ACF numbers, to 77% and 68% of the carcinogen control value,respectively. The percentages of ACF consisting of more than 4 crypts in these groups were also significantly lowerthan in the controls. Treatment with 500 ppm CoQ10 furthermore decreased the number of sialomucin-producingACF and MDF per colon to 42% and 38% of the carcinogen control value without CoQ10, respectively. Theseresults suggest that CoQ10 may be an effective chemopreventive agent against colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献
