Inhibition of azoxymethane-induced colon carcinogenesis in male F344 rats by the citrus limonoids obacunone and limonin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The modifying effects of dietary administration of the citrus limonoids obacunone and limonin on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumorigenesis were investigated in two experiments in male F344 rats. In a pilot study, we examined the modifying effects of obacunone and limonin on AOM-induced (20 mg/kg body wt, once a week for 2 weeks) formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Dietary feeding of both compounds at dose levels of 200 and 500 p.p.m. during AOM exposure for 4 weeks ('initiation' feeding) or after AOM treatment for 4 weeks ('post-initiation' feeding) significantly inhibited ACF formation (55-65% reduction by 'initiation' feeding, P < 0.001; 28-42% reduction by 'post-initiation' feeding, P < 0.05-0.002). In a long-term study designed to confirm the protective effects of obacunone and limonin on ACF development, one group was treated with AOM alone and another four groups received the carcinogen treatment plus diets containing 500 p.p.m. test compounds for 3 weeks (initiation phase) or 29 weeks (post-initiation phase). Two groups were treated with obacunone or limonin alone (500 p.p.m. in diet) and one group was maintained on the basal diet. At the termination of the study, dietary exposure to obacunone or limonin during the initiation phase was found to have significantly reduced the incidence of colonic adenocarcinoma (72 versus 25 or 6%, P = 0.004 or 0.00003). Obacunone or limonin feeding during the post-initiation phase also reduced the frequency of colonic adenocarcinoma (72 versus 13%, P = 0.0002). Our results suggest that the citrus limonoids obacunone and limonin might be useful for the prevention of human colon cancers. 相似文献

Chemoprevention of Azoxymethane-induced Rat Colon Carcinogenesis by a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor, 1'-Acetoxychavicol Acetate 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Takuji Tanaka Kunihiro Kawabata Mikio Kakumoto Hiroki Makita Kengo Matsunaga Hideki Mori Kumiko Satoh Akira Kara Akira Murakami Koichi Koshimizu Hajime Ohigashi 《Cancer science》1997,88(9):821-830
In our studies to find natural compounds with chemopreventive efficacy in foods, using azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci and colonic mucosal cell proliferation as biomarkers, a x an thine oxidase inhibitor, 1′-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), present in the edible plant Languas galanga from Thailand was found to be effective. This study was conducted to test the ability of ACA to inhibit AOM-induced colon tumorigenesis when it was fed to rats during the initiation or post-initiation phase. Male F344 rats were given three weekly s.c. injections of AOM (15mg/kg body weight) to induce colonic neoplasms. They were fed diet containing 100 or 500 ppm ACA for 4 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM (the initiation feeding). The other groups were fed the ACA diet for 34 weeks, starting one week after the last AOM injection (the post-initiation feeding). At the termination of the study (week 38), AOM had induced 71% incidence of colonic adenocarcinoma (12/17 rats). The initiation feeding with ACA caused significant reduction in the incidence of colon carcinoma (54% inhibition by 100 ppm ACA feeding and 77% inhibition by 500 ppm ACA feeding, P=0.03 and P=0.001, respectively). The post-initiation feeding with ACA also suppressed the incidence of colonic carcinoma (45% inhibition by 100 ppm ACA feeding and 93% inhibition by 500 ppm ACA feeding, P=0.06 and P=0.00003, respectively). Such inhibition was dose-dependent and was associated with suppression of proliferation biomarkers, such as ornithine decarboxylase activity in the colonic mucosa, and blood and colonic mucosal polyamine contents. ACA also elevated the activities of phase II enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), in the liver and colon. These results indicate that ACA could inhibit the development of AOM-induced colon tumorigenesis through its suppression of cell proliferation in the colonic mucosa and its induction of GST and QR. The results confirm our previous finding that ACA feeding effectively suppressed the development of colonic aberrant crypt foci. These findings suggest possible chemopreventive ability of ACA against colon tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The modifying effect of dietary administration of defatted rice-germ and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-enriched defatted rice-germ on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in two experiments with male F344 rats. In the first experiment (the pilot study), the effects of the defatted rice-germ, the GABA-enriched defatted rice-germ and rice-germ on AOM-induced (15 mg/kg body wt once a week for 3 weeks) formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were examined. The latter two preparations (2.5% in the diet) significantly inhibited ACF formation (P < 0.005). In the second experiment, a long-term study of the effects of rice-germ was done. One group was treated with AOM alone, four groups received the carcinogen and were fed the diets containing 2.5% rice-germ or 2.5% GABA-enriched defatted rice-germ for 5 (initiation phase) or 30 weeks (post-initiation phase), two groups were treated with rice-germ or GABA-enriched defatted rice-germ alone and one group was kept on the basal diet. At the termination of the study, dietary exposure to rice-germ during the initiation phase significantly reduced the incidence of colonic adenocarcinoma (71 versus 29%, P < 0.01). GABA-enriched defatted rice-germ or rice-germ during the post-initiation phase also decreased the frequency of colonic adenocarcinoma (71 versus 20%, GABA-enriched defatted rice-germ feeding, P < 0.01; 27%, rice-germ feeding, P < 0.01). These data suggest that constituents of rice-germ are possible dietary preventatives for human colon cancers. 相似文献

Silymarin,a naturally occurring polyphenolic antioxidant flavonoid,inhibits azoxymethane-induced colon carcinogenesis in male F344 rats 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

The modifying effect of dietary administration of the polyphenolic antioxidant flavonoid silymarin, isolated from milk thistle [Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertneri], on AOM-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats. In the short-term study, the effects of silymarin on the development of AOM-induced colonic ACF, being putative precursor lesions for colonic adenocarcinoma, were assayed to predict the modifying effects of dietary silymarin on colon tumorigenesis. Also, the activity of detoxifying enzymes (GST and QR) in liver and colonic mucosa was determined in rats gavaged with silymarin. Subsequently, the possible inhibitory effects of dietary feeding of silymarin on AOM-induced colon carcinogenesis were evaluated using a long-term animal experiment. In the short-term study, dietary administration of silymarin (100, 500 and 1,000 ppm in diet), either during or after carcinogen exposure, for 4 weeks caused significant reduction in the frequency of colonic ACF in a dose-dependent manner. Silymarin given by gavage elevated the activity of detoxifying enzymes in both organs. In the long-term experiment, dietary feeding of silymarin (100 and 500 ppm) during the initiation or postinitiation phase of AOM-induced colon carcinogenesis reduced the incidence and multiplicity of colonic adenocarcinoma. The inhibition by feeding with 500 ppm silymarin was significant (p < 0.05 by initiation feeding and p < 0.01 by postinitiation feeding). Also, silymarin administration in the diet lowered the PCNA labeling index and increased the number of apoptotic cells in adenocarcinoma. beta-Glucuronidase activity, PGE(2) level and polyamine content were decreased in colonic mucosa. These results clearly indicate a chemopreventive ability of dietary silymarin against chemically induced colon tumorigenesis and will provide a scientific basis for progression to clinical trials of the chemoprevention of human colon cancer. 相似文献

The modulating effects of dietary feeding of two flavonoids, diosmin and
hesperidin, both alone and in combination, during the initiation and
post-initiation phases on colon carcinogenesis initiated with azoxymethane
(AOM), were investigated in male F344 rats. Animals were initiated with AOM
by weekly s.c. injections of 15 mg/kg body wt for 3 weeks to induced colon
neoplasms. Rats were fed the diets containing diosmin (1000 ppm),
hesperidin (1000 ppm) or diosmin (900 ppm) + hesperidin (100 ppm) for 5
weeks (initiation treatment) or 28 weeks (post-initiation treatment). The
others contained the groups of rats treated with diosmin, hesperidin alone
or in combination, and untreated. At the end of the study (32 weeks), the
incidence and multiplicity of neoplasms (adenoma and adenocarcinoma) in the
large intestine of rats initiated with AOM together with, or followed by, a
diet containing diosmin or hesperidin were significantly smaller than those
of rats given AOM alone (P <0.001). The combination regimen during the
initiation and post-initiation stages also inhibited the development of
colonic neoplasms, but the tumor data did not indicate any beneficial
effect of diosmin and hesperidin administered together as compared with
when these agents were given individually. In addition, feeding of diosmin
and hesperidin, both alone and in combination, significantly inhibited the
development of aberrant crypt foci. As for cell proliferation biomarkers,
dietary exposure of diosmin and hesperidin significantly decreased the
5'-bromodeoxyuridine- labeling index and argyrophilic nuclear organizer
region's number in crypt cells, colonic mucosal ornithine decarboxylase
activity, and polyamine levels in the blood. These results indicate that
diosmin and hesperidin, both alone and in combination, act as a
chemopreventive agent against colon carcinogenesis, and such effects may be
partly due to suppression of cell proliferation in the colonic crypts,
although precise mechanisms should be clarified.

Modifying effects of dietary capsaicin and rotenone on 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide-induced rat tongue carcinogenesis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The effects of dietary administration of capsaicin and rotenone on 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)-induced tongue tumorigenesis were investigated in male F344 rats. In pilot studies, gavage with capsaicin and rotenone elevated the phase II enzymes glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), in the liver and tongue. Also, a 10 week period of feeding of 500 p.p.m. capsaicin or rotenone together with 4-NQO exposure inhibited the occurrence of tongue dysplasia. Subsequently, a long-term study was conducted to test the protective effects of both compounds on 4-NQO-induced tongue carcinogenesis. One group was treated with 4-NQO alone (20 p.p.m. in drinking water for 8 weeks) and four other groups received the carcinogen treatment plus diets containing 500 p.p.m. test compounds for 10 weeks (initiation phase) or for 28 weeks (post-initiation phase). At the termination of the study (38 weeks), feeding of rotenone during the initiation phase, but not during the post-initiation phase, was found to significantly reduce the incidence of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (53% vs. 16%, 70% reduction, P b=e 0.0250) and severe dysplasia (80% vs. 42%, 70% reduction, P = 0.028). Capsaicin feeding during either the initiation or promotion phase and rotenone feeding during the promotion phase also reduced the frequency of tongue carcinoma without statistical significance. The treatment with two compounds especially rotenone lowered cell proliferation activity in the tongue, elevated phase II enzymes' activities of the liver and tongue, and increased the apoptotic index of tongue carcinoma. Although our results suggest that rotenone feeding during the initiation stage prevented 4-NQO-induced tongue carcinoma, chronic intravenous exposure of rotenone reproduces several features of human Parkinson's disease in rats (Nat. Neurosci., 3, 1301-1306, 2000), suggesting that additional studies to confirm the safety of rotenone are warranted. 相似文献

Epidemiological and preclinical studies demonstrate that nutrition plays an important role in the etiology of cancer. It has been reported that rice components, especially rice germ plays a key role in prevention of cancer. The experiments described here examined the potential anticancer properties of brown rice fermented by Aspergillus Oryzae (FBRA) in male F344 rats using inhibition of the formation of azoxymethene (AOM) induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and tumors in the colon as the measure of preventive efficacy. The agent was administered at 2.5 and 5% levels in the diet during the initiation phase (during and until 1 week after carcinogen treatment) and/or post-initiation phase (beginning 1 week after carcinogen treatment) of carcinogenesis. In the ACF and tumor studies, rats were sacrificed 5 or 40 weeks after the initiation of AOM treatment (15 mg/kg body weight, once weekly for 3 weeks), respectively. Colonic ACF and tumors were evaluated histopathologically. Administration of 2.5 and 5% FBRA in the diet continuously during initiation and post-initiation period significantly inhibited the ACF formation in rats treated with AOM, compared with rats treated with AOM alone (99+/-24.1 and 79+/-18.4 vs. 139.5+/-27.7, respectively). In addition, administration of 5% FBRA in the diet during the post-initiation phase significantly suppressed the incidence (44 vs.18%) and multiplicity (0.93+/-0.96 vs. 0.18+/-0.40) of colon adenocarcinomas as compared to those given the control diet. In addition, 5% FBRA in the diet during post-initiation phase caused significant inhibition of cell proliferation in the colonic mucosa as compared to the group fed the control diet (81% reduction, p<0.05). These observations demonstrated for the first time that FBRA inhibits colon tumor development in rats, and suggest that it is a promising dietary supplement for prevention of human colon cancer. 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 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

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.

The preventive effects of dietary exposure to a wasabi derivative 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate (6-MSITC) during the initiation and post-initiation phases on the development of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF), and β-catenin-accumulated crypts (BCAC) were investigated in male F344 rats. To induce ACF and BCAC, rats were given four weekly subcutaneous injections of DMH (40 mg/kg body weight). The rats also received diets containing 200 or 400 ppm 6-MSITC during the initiation or post-initiation phases. The experiment was terminated 12 weeks after the start. DMH exposure produced a substantial number of ACF (323.8±69.7/colon) and BCAC (3.80±1.05/cm(2)) at the end of the study. Dietary administration of 6-MSITC at a dose of 400 ppm during the initiation phase caused a significant reduction in the total number of ACF (52% reduction, P<0.0001), larger ACF (4 or more crypt ACF) (58% reduction, P<0.001) and BCAC (76% reduction, P<0.00001). The dietary exposure to 6-MSITC significantly reduced the size (crypt multiplicity) of BCAC during both initiation and post-initiation treatment when compared to group 1 treated with DMH alone. Immunohistochemically, 6-MSITC administration lowered the proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling index in ACF and BCAC. In addition, protein levels of hepatic cytochrome P-450 isozymes at 24 h after 6-MSITC exposure were significantly suppressed (P<0.01). The results indicated that 6-MSITC exerted chemopreventive effects in the present short-term colon carcinogenesis bioassay, through alterations in cell proliferation activity and drug metabolizing enzyme levels. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the enhancing effect of dietary sugar on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in male F344 rats initiated with azoxymethane (AOM). The potential role of sugar as either a co-initiator or a promoter was investigated by giving diets high in sucrose and dextrin (61%) during either the pre-initiation, the initiation, and/or the post-initiation stage of the ACF development. The colonic cell proliferation, activity of colonic phase II enzymes, and a biomarker of lipid peroxidation were additionally examined in order to obtain information on the specific mechanisms involved in the suggested effect of sucrose and dextrin on ACF development. The number of large sized and the total number of ACF were significantly increased by feeding sucrose and dextrin in the post-initiation period. No positive association between colonic cell proliferation and ACF was seen. The level of oxidative stress in the cytosol from the proximal colon and colonic glutathione transferase and quinone reductase was not affected by the sugar treatments. The overall results from this study show that sucrose and dextrin enhance the number of preneoplastic lesions in AOM-initiated rats, and act primarily as promoters in the development of ACF. 相似文献

Azoxymethane-induced beta-catenin-accumulated crypts in colonic mucosa of rodents as an intermediate biomarker for colon carcinogenesis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

It is now well established that bile acids act as colon tumor promoters. However, a previous study provided conflicting data showing that dietary exposure of cholic acid (CHA), a primary bile acid, inhibits the carcinogen-induced formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), possible preneoplastic lesions, in colonic mucosa of rodents. Recently we found beta-catenin-accumulated crypts (BCAC) in colonic mucosa of rats initiated with azoxymethane (AOM) and provided evidence that BCAC might be preneoplastic lesions independent from ACF. In the present study, we investigated the modifying effects of dietary CHA on the formation of BCAC as well as ACF in male F344 rats after exposure to AOM to determine if the differences in the effect of CHA on these lesions could account for this discrepancy. The results indicate that administration of CHA (0.5%) in the diet during the post-initiation phase significantly reduced the total number, multiplicity and size of ACF (P < 0.00001) in AOM-exposed colonic mucosa as reported previously. The number of ACF even with >4 aberrant crypts/focus was also decreased significantly (P < 0.0002), suggesting that the large ACF are little resistant to continuous feeding of 0.5% CHA diet. Interestingly, the dietary CHA significantly enhanced both the multiplicity (P < 0.002) and size (P < 0.00001), but not the incidence, of AOM-induced BCAC when compared with the control diet group. Importantly, the number of large BCAC with >6 crypts/lesion was increased significantly by the dietary CHA (P < 0.003). Our results support the concept that BCAC are precursors of colon tumors and indicate the usefulness of BCAC as intermediate biomarkers for colon carcinogenesis, although the methodology for their detection requires further improvement. 相似文献

Suppression of Azoxymethane-induced Rat Colon Aberrant Crypt Foci by Dietary Protocatechuic Acid 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2

The modifying effect of dietary exposure to protocatechuic acid (PCA) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was investigated in male F344 rats. The effects of PCA feeding on the silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions protein (AgNORs) count in the colonic epithelial cells and on the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in the colonic mucosa were also estimated. Animals were given weekly s.c. injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight) for 3 weeks to induce ACF. These rats were fed diet containing 1000 or 2000 ppm PCA for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. All rats were killed 2 weeks after the last AOM injection, to measure the number of ACF, ODC activity, and AgNORs count per nucleus in the colon. In rats given AOM and PCA, the frequency of ACF/colon was significantly decreased compared with that in rats given AOM alone ( P < 0.005 at 1000 and P < 0.05 at 2000 ppm). ODC activity in the colon of rats given AOM and PCA at both doses was also significantly lower than that of rats treated with AOM alone ( P < 0.05). Similarly, the mean AgNORs count in rats fed PCA was significantly smaller than that of rats treated with AOM alone ( P < 0.0001). Treatment with PCA alone did not affect these three biomarkers. These results provide further evidence that PCA could be a chemopreventive agent against rat colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

AKR/J mice are resistant to the tumorigenic properties of the colon carcinogen, azoxymethane (AOM). Following AOM exposure, limited numbers of preneoplastic lesions, referred to as aberrant crypt foci (ACF), are formed in the colon, and their progression to tumors rarely occurs. To determine whether genetic resistance can be overcome by exposure to a dietary tumor promoter, AOM-exposed AKR/J mice were fed a diet containing 0.25% deoxycholic acid (DCA). DCA exposure was begun 1 wk prior to or 1 wk after tumor initiation with AOM. Mice placed on the DCA diet prior to AOM treatment developed a significantly higher multiplicity of ACF compared to AOM-exposed mice fed a control diet (15.50 +/- 0.96 vs. 6.17 +/- 0.48, respectively; P < 0.05). When DCA exposure was begun after AOM treatment (post-initiation), ACF formation was further enhanced (34.00 +/- 1.22). Interestingly, increased numbers of ACF were associated with the presence of nuclear beta-catenin, assessed by immunohistochemistry. While approximately 33% of ACF from mice exposed to DCA prior to AOM treatment contained positive nuclear beta-catenin staining, approximately 77% of ACF from mice fed DCA after AOM were positive. Accumulation of nuclear beta-catenin was not associated with a loss of E-cadherin from the plasma membrane, although loss of APC staining was a consistent feature of most AOM-induced ACF, regardless of DCA exposure. These results demonstrate that exposure to DCA, an important digestive component, is sufficient to sensitize the resistant AKR/J colon to formation of high-grade dysplasia, and that nuclear translocation of beta-catenin may play an important role in this process. 相似文献

The modifying effects of dietary administration of 6-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine and 5 related compounds on the occurrence of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in rats. 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 diet containing 200 ppm test compound for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. At the termination of experiment, all of the compounds had caused a significant reduction in ACF frequency, which might be associated with suppression of the expression of proliferation biomarkers. The apoptotic index in the colonic mucosal epithelium of rats killed at 6 h after the first AOM exposure revealed no blocking activity of the compounds. 相似文献

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 effect of dietary administration of auraptene isolated from
the peel of citrus fruit (Citrus natsudaidai Hayata) 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 ACF. They also received
diets containing 100 or 500 p.p.m. auraptene for 5 weeks, starting 1 week
before the first dose of AOM. At termination of the study (week 5) dietary
administration of auraptene caused a significant reduction in the frequency
of ACF in a dose- dependent manner (P < 0.05). Feeding of auraptene
suppressed expression of cell proliferation biomarkers
(5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine labeling- index, ornithine decarboxylase activity,
polyamine content and number of silver stained nucleolar organizer region
protein particles) in the colonic mucosa and the occurrence of micronuclei
caused by AOM. Also, auraptene increased the activities of phase II enzymes
(glutathione S- transferase and quinone reductase) in the liver and colon.
These findings might suggest that inhibition of AOM-induced ACF may be
associated, in part, with increased activity of phase II enzymes in the
liver and colon and suppression of cell proliferation in the colonic
mucosa.

Efficacy of potential chemopreventive agents on rat colon aberrant crypt formation and progression 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

We assessed the effects of 78 potential chemopreventive agents in the F344 rat using two assays in which the inhibition of carcinogen-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the colon was the measure of efficacy. In both assays ACF were induced by the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) in F344 rats by two sequential weekly injections at a dose of 15 mg/kg. Two weeks after the last AOM injection, animals were evaluated for the number of aberrant crypts detected in methylene blue stained whole mounts of rat colon. In the initiation phase protocol agents were given during the period of AOM administration, whereas in the post-initiation assay the chemopreventive agent was introduced during the last 4 weeks of an 8 week assay, a time when ACF had progressed to multiple crypt clusters. The agents were derived from a priority listing based on reports of chemopreventive activity in the literature and/or efficacy data from in vitro models of carcinogenesis. During the initiation phase carboxyl amidoimidazole, p-chlorphenylacetate, chlorpheniramine maleate, D609, diclofenac, etoperidone, eicosatetraynoic acid, farnesol, ferulic acid, lycopene, meclizine, methionine, phenylhexylisothiocyanate, phenylbutyrate, piroxicam, 9-cis-retinoic acid, S-allylcysteine, taurine, tetracycline and verapamil were strong inhibitors of ACF. During the post-initiation phase aspirin, calcium glucarate, ketoprofen, piroxicam, 9-cis-retinoic acid, retinol and rutin inhibited the outgrowth of ACF into multiple crypt clusters. Based on these data, certain phytochemicals, antihistamines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and retinoids show unique preclinical promise for chemoprevention of colon cancer, with the latter two drug classes particularly effective in the post-initiation phase of carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Chemoprevention of colon carcinogenesis by the synthetic organoselenium compound 1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)selenocyanate. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The chemopreventive effect of 40% and 80% maximum tolerated dose (MTD) levels of 1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)selenocyanate (p-XSC) administered in the diet during the initiation phase (2 weeks before, during, and up to 3 days after carcinogen administration) and the post-initiation phase (3 days after carcinogen treatment until termination) of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was studied in male F344 rats. The MTD of p-XSC was determined in male F344 rats and found to be 50 ppm. Beginning at 5 weeks of age, all animals were divided into various experimental groups (42 rats/group) and fed the high-fat semipurified diet or diets containing 20 (40% MTD) and 40 (80% MTD) ppm p-XSC. At 7 weeks of age, all animals (30 rats/group) except the vehicle-treated groups (12 rats/group) were administered s.c. injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body weight/week for 2 weeks). Three days after the second injection of AOM or vehicle (normal saline), groups of animals fed the p-XSC diets and control diet were transferred, respectively, to control diet and p-XSC diets and continued on these diets until the termination of the study. All animals were necropsied during the 36th week after AOM treatment. Colonic mucosal prostaglandin E2 and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase were measured in animals fed the control and p-XSC diets at the termination of the study. The results indicate that 40 ppm p-XSC administered during the initiation phase significantly inhibited the colon tumor incidence (percentage of animals with tumors). Dietary p-XSC administered at 20 and 40 ppm levels during the initiation phase significantly inhibited colon tumor multiplicity (tumors/animal and tumors/tumor-bearing animal). Colon tumor incidence and multiplicity were significantly reduced in groups fed 20 and 40 ppm p-XSC diets at the postinitiation phase of carcinogenesis. Colonic mucosal selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity was increased, and prostaglandin E2 was reduced in animals fed the p-XSC diet compared to animals fed the control diet. Whereas the precise mechanisms of p-XSC-induced inhibition of colon carcinogenesis remain to be elucidated, it is likely that the effect during the initiation and postinitiation phases may be due to alteration in carcinogen metabolism and to modulation of prostaglandin synthesis and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity. 相似文献
