Effect of meat (beef, chicken, and bacon) on rat colon carcinogenesis. (1/492)

High intake of red meat or processed meat is associated with increased risk of colon cancer. In contrast, consumption of white meat (chicken) is not associated with risk and might even reduce the occurrence of colorectal cancer. We speculated that a diet containing beef or bacon would increase and a diet containing chicken would decrease colon carcinogenesis in rats. One hundred female Fischer 344 rats were given a single injection of azoxymethane (20 mg/kg i.p.), then randomized to 10 different AIN-76-based diets. Five diets were adjusted to 14% fat and 23% protein and five other diets to 28% fat and 40% protein. Fat and protein were supplied by 1) lard and casein, 2) olive oil and casein, 3) beef, 4) chicken with skin, and 5) bacon. Meat diets contained 30% or 60% freeze-dried fried meat. The diets were given ad libitum for 100 days, then colon tumor promotion was assessed by the multiplicity of aberrant crypt foci [number of crypts per aberrant crypt focus (ACF)]. The ACF multiplicity was nearly the same in all groups, except bacon-fed rats, with no effect of fat and protein level or source (p = 0.7 between 8 groups by analysis of variance). In contrast, compared with lard- and casein-fed controls, the ACF multiplicity was reduced by 12% in rats fed a diet with 30% bacon and by 20% in rats fed a diet with 60% bacon (p < 0.001). The water intake was higher in bacon-fed rats than in controls (p < 0.0001). The concentrations of iron and bile acids in fecal water and total fatty acids in feces changed with diet, but there was no correlation between these concentrations and the ACF multiplicity. Thus the hypothesis that colonic iron, bile acids, or total fatty acids can promote colon tumors is not supported by this study. The results suggest that, in rats, beef does not promote the growth of ACF and chicken does not protect against colon carcinogenesis. A bacon-based diet appears to protect against carcinogenesis, perhaps because bacon contains 5% NaCl and increased the rats' water intake.  (+info)

Coordinate regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 and TGF-beta1 in replication error-positive colon cancer and azoxymethane-induced rat colonic tumors. (2/492)

Evidence is accumulating which indicates that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. We evaluated the expression of COX-2 in replication error-positive (RER) colon cancers, colon cancers metastatic to liver and azoxymethane (AOM)-induced rat colonic tumors. Immunohistochemistry showed that COX-2 was low to undetectable in normal human mucosa, but abundant in the RER adenocarcinomas we examined. COX-2 immunoreactivity in metastatic colon cancers was less abundant, but clearly detectable. In the colon of AOM-treated rats, COX-2 protein was not detectable in normal mucosa, but present in most of the epithelial cells comprising the tumors. The TGF-beta1 staining pattern in these human and rat tumors was similar to that observed for COX-2. The role of TGF-beta in RER adenocarcinomas is complex because of the increased mutation rate of TGF-beta type II receptors. Northern analysis showed abundant TGF-beta1 mRNA in AOM-induced tumors, but not in paired mucosa. TGF-beta1 induced the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6). Chronic TGF-beta1 treatment caused a TGF-beta-dependent overexpression of COX-2 in rat intestinal epithelial cells (RIE-1). TGF-beta1 may regulate COX-2 expression during the colonic adenoma to carcinoma sequence.  (+info)

Effect of retinoids on AOM-induced colon cancer in rats: modulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and aberrant crypt foci. (3/492)

We have previously reported that the retinoids, 4-(hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) and 9-cis-retinoic acid (RA) prevented azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumors and along with 2-(carboxyphenyl)retinamide (2-CPR) prevented aberrant crypt foci (ACF). In this study, we evaluated the effect of 2-CPR on AOM-induced colon tumors and the effect of the three retinoids on apoptosis and cell proliferation. Male F344 rats were administrated 15 mg/kg AOM at weeks 7 and 8 of age. 2-CPR (315 mg/kg) was administered in the diet starting either 1 week before or at week 12 after the first dose of AOM. The rats continued to receive the 2-CPR until killed at week 46. Unlike the demonstrated prevention of colon cancer by the other two retinoids, both dosing schedules of 2-CPR resulted in an approximate doubling of the yield of colon tumors. In adenomas, 2-CPR, 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA were equally effective in reducing mitotic activity, while only 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA but not 2-CPR enhanced apoptosis. When administered for only the 6 days prior to killing 4-HPR but not 2-CPR decreased the Mitotic Index and increased the Apoptotic Index in adenomas. In non-involved crypts, chronic exposure to 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA in contrast to 2-CPR reduced the Mitotic Index and enhanced the Apoptotic Index. In concurrence with our previous study, both 2-CPR and 4-HPR were very potent in preventing ACF when administered in the diet starting 1 week before the first dose of AOM and continuing for the 5 weeks of the study. Hence, unlike the other two retinoids, 2-CPR, although very potent in preventing ACF, enhanced rather than prevented AOM-induced colon cancer. Furthermore, our results suggest that the effect of 2-CPR on tumor yield is different from 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA because, unlike them, it does not enhance apoptosis.  (+info)

Prevention by aspirin and its combination with alpha-difluoromethylornithine of azoxymethane-induced tumors, aberrant crypt foci and prostaglandin E2 levels in rat colon. (4/492)

The dose-response relationship in male F344 rats was determined for the ability of aspirin administered in the diet to prevent azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer and aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and to reduce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. Starting at either 7 or 22 weeks of age, the rats received aspirin. All rats received two doses of AOM (15 mg/kg each on days 7 and 14) and were killed on day 36. The lowest concentrations of aspirin to prevent ACF or reduce PGE2 levels were 600 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. To evaluate the prevention of tumors, rats received either 0 or 400 mg/kg aspirin for a total of 39 weeks with AOM (30 mg/kg) administered 7 days after the start of treatment. Aspirin had no effect on the yield of colon tumors. In a second experiment, rats started to receive 0, 200, 600 or 1800 mg/kg aspirin or 1000 mg/kg alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) +/- aspirin. Eight and 15 days later, all the rats received 15 mg/kg AOM. Eleven weeks later, animals that were receiving the control diet started to receive 0, 200, 600 or 1800 mg/kg aspirin; 1000 or 3000 mg/kg DFMO; or 1000 mg/kg DFMO + 200 or 600 mg/kg aspirin. The animals were killed 32 weeks later. DFMO effectively reduced the yield of colon tumors when administered starting either before or after AOM while aspirin was much weaker. The combination of aspirin + DFMO administered after AOM was synergistic. Both aspirin and DFMO decreased the Mitotic Index, while apoptosis was increased only by DFMO. Our results demonstrated that aspirin and DFMO could prevent colon cancer when administered after AOM. Furthermore, aspirin reduced ACF, PGE2 levels and mitosis at concentrations that did not prevent cancer. In contrast, the ability to enhance apoptosis did correlate with the prevention of cancer.  (+info)

Chemoprevention of colonic aberrant crypt foci by an inducible nitric oxide synthase-selective inhibitor. (5/492)

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is overexpressed in colonic tumors of humans and also in rats treated with a colon carcinogen. iNOS appear to regulate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and production of proinflammatory prostaglandins, which are known to play a key role in colon tumor development. Experiments were designed to study the inhibitory effects of S,S'-1,4-phenylene-bis(1,2-ethanediyl)bis-isothiourea (PBIT) a selective iNOS-specific inhibitor, measured against formation of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Beginning at 5 weeks of age, male F344 rats were fed experimental diets containing 0 or 50 p.p.m. of PBIT, or 2000 p.p.m. of curcumin (non-specific iNOS inhibitor). One week later, rats were injected s.c. with AOM (15 mg/kg body wt, once weekly for 2 weeks). At 17 weeks of age, all rats were killed, colons were evaluated for ACF formation and colonic mucosa was assayed for isoforms of COX and NOS activities. Both COX and iNOS activities in colonic mucosa of the AOM-treated rats were significantly induced. Importantly, 50 p.p.m. PBIT suppressed AOM-induced colonic ACF formation to 58% (P < 0.0001) and crypt multiplicity containing four or more crypts per focus to 78% (P < 0.0001); it also suppressed AOM-induced iNOS activity. Curcumin inhibited colonic ACF formation by 45% (P < 0.001). These observations suggest that iNOS may play a key regulatory role in colon carcinogenesis. Developing iNOS-specific inhibitors may provide a selective and safe chemopreventive strategy for colon cancer treatment.  (+info)

Preliminary analysis of azoxymethane-induced colon tumorigenesis in mouse aggregation chimeras. (6/492)

Inbred mice exhibit differential susceptibility to colon carcinogens. The following study addresses the possibility that differences are intrinsic to colonic mucosa (cell autonomous) or are mediated by extracolonic systemic factors (e.g. liver activation of carcinogens). Our approach was to construct mouse aggregation chimeras, mice whose tissues are a mosaic of cells derived from two parental genotypes, from a susceptible (SWR) and a resistant (DBA/2) strain. Forty-five embryo aggregations yielded 11 viable pups, four of which were chimeric by coat color. Six-week-old SWR<-->BA/2 chimeras were injected i.p. with azoxymethane (AOM) once a week for 8 weeks (5 and 7.5 mg/kg body wt for 2 weeks followed by 10 mg/kg for 6 weeks) and tumor incidence in distal colon was evaluated 15 weeks after the last injection. Additional groups of parental mice received the same treatment. In the parental SWR treatment group, 1.7 +/- 0.82 tumors/colon were found. No tumors were observed in AOM-treated DBA/2 mice. In SWR<-->DBA/2 chimeras exposed to AOM, 2.8 +/- 2.1 tumors/colon were found. Tumor lineage was examined in paraffin sections stained with Dolichos biflorus agglutinin-peroxidase, a cell surface specific marker that stains intestinal endothelial cells of SWR and epithelial cells of DBA/2. Cellular lineage of tumors was further evaluated by microsatellite analysis of DNA isolated by microdissection. There was no significant difference in tumor incidence between SWR parental and chimera treatment groups. Histochemical analysis of tumor tissue in chimeras suggested that most tumors were derived from SWR. However, subsequent genetic analysis of tumors indicated mixed parental composition. These preliminary studies suggest that DBA/2 resistance mechanisms are not sufficient to protect adjacent SWR-derived epithelium from the tumorigenic effects of AOM.  (+info)

Carcinogen and dietary lipid regulate ras expression and localization in rat colon without affecting farnesylation kinetics. (7/492)

Epidemiological and experimental data suggest that dietary fiber and fat are major determinants of colorectal cancer. However, the mechanisms by which these dietary constituents alter the incidence of colon cancer have not been elucidated. Evidence indicates that dominant gain-of-function mutations short-circuit protooncogenes and contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer. Therefore, we began to dissect the mechanisms whereby dietary fat and fiber, fed during the initiation, promotion and progression stages of colon tumorigenesis, regulate ras p21 localization, expression and mutation frequency. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (140) were provided with corn oil or fish oil and pectin or cellulose plus or minus the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design and killed after 34 weeks. We have previously shown adenocarcinoma incidence in these animals to be 70.3% (52/74) for corn oil + AOM and 56.1% (37/66) for fish oil + AOM (P < 0.05). Total ras expression as well as ras membrane:cytosol ratio was 4- to 6-fold higher in colon tumors than in mucosa from AOM- or saline-injected rats. Expression of ras in the mucosal membrane fraction was 13% higher for animals fed corn oil compared with fish oil feeding (P < 0.05), which is noteworthy since ras must be localized at the plasma membrane to function. The elevated ras membrane:cytosol ratio in tumors was not due to increased farnesyl protein transferase activity or prenylation state, as nearly all detectable ras was in the prenylated form. Phosphorylated p42 and p44 mitogen activated protein kinase (ERK) expression was two-fold higher in tumor extracts compared with uninvolved mucosa from AOM- and saline-injected rats (P < 0.05). The frequency of K-ras mutations was not significantly different between the various groups, but there was a trend toward a greater incidence of mutations in tumors from corn oil fed rats (85%) compared with fish oil fed rats (58%). Our results indicate that the carcinogen-induced changes in ras expression and membrane localization are associated with the in vivo activation of the ERK pathway. In addition, suppression of tumor development by dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may be partly due to a combined effect on colonic ras expression, membrane localization, and mutation frequency.  (+info)

Polyethylene-glycol, a potent suppressor of azoxymethane-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci in rats. (8/492)

Bulking fibers and high water intake may decrease colon carcinogenesis in rats, and the risk of colorectal cancer in humans. We speculated that a non-fermented polymer, polyethylene-glycol (PEG) 8000, which increases stool moisture, might protect rats against colon carcinogenesis. Thirty female F344 rats were given a single injection of azoxymethane (20 mg/kg), and 7 days later randomized to AIN76 diets containing PEG (to provide 3 g/kg body wt/day), or no PEG (control). Diets were given ad libitum for 105 days, then colon carcinogenesis was assessed by the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) test. ACF were scored blindly by a single observer. Dietary feeding of PEG almost suppressed ACF larger than one crypt, and strikingly decreased the total number of ACF per rat. PEG-fed rats had 100 times less large ACF than controls (0.8 and 83 respectively, P = 0.00001). PEG-fed rats had 20 times less total ACF than control (six and 107 ACF/rat, respectively; P < 0.0001). Two treated rats had no detectable ACF. PEG is 10 times more potent than other chemopreventive agents in this model. Since PEG is generally recognized as safe, its cancer-preventive features could be tested in humans.  (+info)

The effect of 30% caloric restriction on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats. Starting at 5 weeks of age, groups of animals were fed ad libitum a high-fat (23.5%) semipurified diet. At 7 weeks of age, all animals except the vehicle-treated groups were s.c. injected with AOM (15 mg/kg body wt, once weekly for 2 weeks). Four days after the second AOM injection, groups of animals were continued on high-fat diet and fed ad libitum (ad libitum group) whereas other groups were restricted to 70% of total calories (calorie-restricted group) consumed by the ad libitum group, but received same amounts of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Thirty-two weeks after AOM injections, all animals were necropsied. The animals in the calorie-restricted group developed significantly fewer colon tumors and had a lower colon tumor incidence than did the rats in the ad libitum group. The size of colon tumors was also reduced in the calorie-restricted group.. ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Effect of diets fortified with tomatoes or onions with variable quercetin-glycoside content on azoxymethane-induced aberrant crypt foci in the colon of rats. AU - Femia, A.P..

N2 - Background: Onion and tomato are vegetables widely consumed by humans and epidemiological studies show an inverse association between vegetable consumption and colon cancer risk; however, the effect on colon cancer of diets containing high levels of vegetables like onion and tomato are not clear. Aims of the study: To investigate whether tomatoes and onions,with low or high quercetin-glycoside content, could reduce azoxymethane (AOM)-induced Aberrant Crypt Foci (ACF), preneoplastic lesions in the colon of rats. Methods: Male Fisher 344 rats were fed the following diets: a) high fat (HF) diet (control diet); b) HF diet containing 20 % (w/w) tomatoes ...
Background and aims: The molecular mechanisms underlying the promotion of colorectal carcinogenesis by a high-fat diet (HFD) remain unclear. We investigated the role of the insulin-signal pathway and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, which reportedly play crucial roles in insulin resistance, during colorectal carcinogenesis in the presence of hyperinsulinemia induced by a HFD.. Methods: Azoxymethane-induced aberrant crypt foci formation and cell proliferation in the colonic epithelium were compared between mice fed a normal diet (ND) and mice fed a HFD. A western blot analysis was performed to elucidate the mechanism affecting colorectal carcinogenesis by a HFD.. Results: The number of aberrant crypt foci and the colonic epithelial cell proliferative activity were significantly higher in the HFD group than in the ND group. While the plasma insulin level was significantly higher in the HFD group than in the ND group, a western blot analysis revealed the inactivation of Akt, which is ...
β-Catenin is a key regulator of the cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion system and an important element in the Wnt signal transduction pathway. Stabilization and accumulation of cytoplasmic β-catenin, which result from mutations in either the adenomatous polyposis coli or β-catenin genes, are causatively associated with colon carcinogenesis. In the present study, we examined the expression of β-catenin in rat colon tumors induced by azoxymethane in comparison with adjacent normal colon mucosa by immunostaining and immunoblotting. Cytoplasmic and nuclear immunostaining was pronounced in all colon adenoma and carcinoma tissues, whereas antibody binding was limited to membranes at the intercellular borders in normal colon epithelial cells. Increase of the free β-catenin fraction in tumor cells was also indicated by immunoblot analysis of fractionated tissue lysates. Investigation of mutations in the glycogen synthase kinase-3β phosphorylation consensus motif of the β-catenin gene by ...
Severe combined immunodeficiency (Scid) mice have defects in V(D)J recombination and DNA double-strand breaks repair caused by an inherited genetic defect in the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs). Scid mice are highly susceptible to development of T-cell lymphomas, and because of the nature of its association with DNA repair and recombination, DNA-PKcs is considered to belong to the caretaker class of tumor suppressor genes. In the present study, the susceptibility of Scid mice to colon carcinogenesis due to administration of azoxymethane (AOM) was investigated. Significantly higher susceptibility in terms of induction of both aberrant crypt foci (ACFs), putative pre-cancerous lesions of the colon and colon cancers was observed as compared with the isogenic strain, C.B-17 mice. The incidences of colon tumors, either adenomas or adenocarcinomas, in Scid and C.B-17 mice after administration of AOM (10 mg/kg body weight/week) for 6 weeks were 87% (26 of 30) and 50% (15 of ...
Cell cycle variations and DNA aneuploidy, were investigated in different phases of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats by flow cytometry. K-ras gene mutations (transitions Gright curved arrow A) were frequently detected in aberrant crypt foci (ACF) initial pre-neoplastic lesions. The fraction of cells in the G2M-phase of the cell cycle was higher in ACF compared to the normal mucosa of control rats. A similar modification of the cell cycle was found in adenomas and adenocarcinomas but, unexpectedly, also in morphologically normal mucosa from AOM-treated animals indicating that AOM treatment permanently modifies cell cycle control in rat colon mucosa. These alterations, however, were not associated with DNA aneuploidy as reported in human sporadic colorectal cancer, suggesting that tumour development in AOM-treated rats is less dependent on aneuploidy.. ...
Purpose: Colon cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths. Dietary factors contribute substantially to the risk of this malignancy. Western-style diets promote development of azoxymethane-induced colon cancer. Although we showed that epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) controlled azoxymethane tumorigenesis in standard fat conditions, the role of EGFR in tumor promotion by high dietary fat has not been examined.. Experimental Design: A/J × C57BL6/J mice with wild-type Egfr (Egfrwt) or loss-of-function waved-2 Egfr (Egfrwa2) received azoxymethane followed by standard (5% fat) or western-style (20% fat) diet. As F1 mice were resistant to azoxymethane, we treated mice with azoxymethane followed by one cycle of inflammation-inducing dextran sulfate sodium to induce tumorigenesis. Mice were sacrificed 12 weeks after dextran sulfate sodium. Tumors were graded for histology and assessed for EGFR ligands and proto-oncogenes by immunostaining, Western blotting, and real-time PCR.. Results: Egfrwt mice ...
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is potential target for inflammation and cancer. Previously, we have shown that S,S′‐1,4‐Phenylenebis(1,2‐ethanediyl)bisisothiourea (PBIT) inhibit colon carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane (AOM). Although, colon cancer inhibitory efficacy of PBIT has been significant, selective iNOS inhibitors do not completely abrogate NO production due to the exogenous bioavailability and NO generation by eNOS in tumor tissues. To create an iNOS selective and multi‐targeted molecule, we have developed a novel isosteric analogue of PBIT, namely PBISe in which sulfur was replaced with selenium. We examined the chemopreventive efficacy of PBISe on AOM‐induced rat colon carcinogenesis model using aberrant crypt foci (ACF) as end point. At seven weeks of age, rats (12/group) were fed the control diet (AIN 76A) and colonic ACF were induced by AOM. Three days after second AOM treatment, rats were fed the diets containing 0, 10 and 20 ppm of PBI‐Se and continued ...
Azoxymethane (AOM) is a colon carcinogen that is used to study the pathogenesis of sporadic colorectal cancer. We have evaluated differential susceptibility to AOM in inbred mice used as progenitors of recombinant/transgenic lines. In experiment 1, male FVB/N, 129/SvJ, C57Bl/6J mice were treated i.p. with 10 mg/kg AOM once per week for 4 weeks and sacrificed after 20 weeks. Only AOM-treated FVB/N mice developed tumors (3.6 tumors/mouse) in distal colon. In experiment 2, A/J, AKR/J, Balb/CJ mice were treated with AOM for 6 weeks and sacrificed after 24 weeks. AOM-treated A/J and Balb/CJ mice developed 9.2 and 1 tumor/mouse, respectively. Despite these differences, tumors had similar morphology regardless of strain. Immunohistochemistry with β-catenin resulted in marked nuclear and cytoplasmic staining of tumor cells in FVB/N. However, fainter and heterogeneous β-catenin staining was observed in A/J tumors, suggesting distinct pathways of tumorigenesis in different strains. Irrespective of ...
Results A single bout of exercise increased the expression and secretion of SPARC in skeletal muscle in both mice and humans. In addition, in an azoxymethane-induced colon cancer mouse model, regular low-intensity exercise significantly reduced the formation of aberrant crypt foci in wild-type mice but not in SPARC-null mice. Furthermore, regular exercise enhanced apoptosis in colon mucosal cells and increased the cleaved forms of caspase-3 and caspase-8 in wild-type mice but not in SPARC-null mice. Culture experiments showed that SPARC secretion from myocytes was induced by cyclic stretch and inhibited proliferation with apoptotic effect of colon cancer cells.. ...
The preventive effect of polysaccharide of Larimichthys crocea swimming bladder (PLCSB) and the increase of this effect by use of resistant starch (RS3) as the carrier for PLCSB on azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-inducing colon carcinogenesis in C57BL/6 mice has been studied. RS3 microspheres carrying PLCSB (RS3 + PLCSB) were produced and evaluated as a potentially improved colon carcinogenesis therapy for this study. The body weight, colon length, and colon weight of mice were determined, and colonic tissues were histologically observed. The serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines and the inflammation and apoptosis-related genes in colonic tissue were also tested. The PLCSB or RS3 + PLCSB significantly suppressed AOM and DSS-induced body weight loss, colon length shortening and decreased the colon weight to length ratio. PLCSB or RS3 + PLCSB reduced the levels of the serum pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ to a greater extent compared with the control
The main objective of this proposal was to investigate the effect of vitamin B6 on colon carcinogenesis in vivo. Two in vivo studies were conducted to determine the role of vitamin B6 as a biological modifier of colon carcinogenesis. It is hypothesized that vitamin B6 may serve as an antioxidant in vivo and will modulate colon carcinogenesis. In the first study, a 2X3 factorial experimental design was used to determine if three different levels of vitamin B6, classified as low, normal and high in conjunction with two different levels of protein intake, classified as normal or high, will affect post-initiation stages of colon carcinogenesis, in Sprague-Dawley rats. Male Sprague-Dawley male were injected with azoxymethane for two weeks (15mg/kg/week) and then one week later they were allocated to different dietary treatment groups. After eight weeks, the effects of dietary treatment on hematological status, oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes, as well as enumeration of preneoplastic ...
Previous work suggests that vagus nerve disruption reduces hepatocyte and oval cell expansion following liver injury. The role of post-neuronal receptor activation in response to liver injury has not been ascertained. We investigated the actions of scopolamine, a non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist, and specific genetic ablation of a key cholinergic receptor, muscarinic subtype-3 (Chrm3), on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced liver injury in mice. Animal weights and survival were measured as was liver injury using both gross and microscopic examination. To assess hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis, ductular hyperplasia and oval cell expansion, we used morphometric analysis of BrdU-, activated caspase-3-, H&E-, CK-19- and EpCAM-stained liver sections. Sirius red staining was used as a measure of collagen deposition and its association with oval cell reaction. In AOM-treated mice, both muscarinic receptor blockade with scopolamine and Chrm3 ablation attenuated hepatocyte proliferation and ...
As the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) kicks off Australias Healthy Weight Week today, new research shows that cooking at home more often means Australians will up their fruit and vegetable intake, helping win the war on weight.. The research, involving more than 1,300 people, found those who spent the most time preparing and cooking meals ate more fruit and vegetables and spent less money on food away from home, compared with those who spent the least amount of time in the kitchen.. Given more than nine in 10 Australians dont eat the recommended five serves of vegetables a day, and 63 per cent of adults are overweight or obese, and that number is rising, this is important research, Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) spokesperson and Co-Director of the Priority Research Centre in Physical Activity and Nutrition at the University of Newcastle, Professor Clare Collins said.. Professor Collins said the quality of a persons diet was a good way of predicting weight; and ...

Chronic inflammation characterizing patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a major risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer. Mechanisms underlying this neoplastic transformation are not fully understood though studies in experimental models of colon carcinogenesis suggest that inflammatory cell-derived cytokines either directly or indirectly stimulate the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Nevertheless, under specific inflammatory conditions, immune cells can boost an anti-tumor immune response with the down-stream effect of eliminating dysplastic and cancerous cells. This review outlines the beneficial and detrimental role of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis.

Mustard seeds (MS), which are consumed in considerable amounts by the Japanese people that, interestingly, have the longest life expectancy in the world, are known to contain a number of yet not fully defined but quite powerful anti-oxidants. A suspension of extracted MS was found to suppress oxidized-LDL-induced macrophage respiratory burst in vitro, to prevent growth, and to induce apoptotic death of SW480 cells (a human colon cancer cell line), while no such effects were found for normal 3T3 cells. A diet enriched with MS decreased plasma levels of the lipid peroxidation product malonaldehyde in mice exposed to the colon cancer-inducer azoxymethane (AOM). Such a diet also dose-dependently enhanced the activity of several anti-oxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and GSH-peroxidase and, moreover, reduced AOM-mediated formation of colon adenomas by about 50%. Further studies are required to detail and explore the beneficial effects of MS and their rich content of ...
Dietary artepillin C suppresses the formation of aberrant crypt foci induced by azoxymethane in mouse colon.. Shimizu K, Das SK, Baba M, Matsuura Y, Kanazawa K.. Source. Department of Life Science, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kobe University, Rokkodai, Nada-ku, Kobe 657-8501, Japan.. Abstract. Artepillin C, a prenylated phenylpropanoid found specifically in Brazilian propolis, has been shown to be a bioavailable antioxidant. In this study, artepillin C was tested for colon cancer-preventing activity using azoxymethane-challenged ddY mice. Oral doses of 80 and 160 mg/kg body weight of propolis or 10mg/kg of artepillin C (equi-amounts to 160 mg propolis) reduced significantly the frequency of colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) by 39.2, 43.7 and 43.4%, respectively. In liver of the mice, glutathione S-transferase and NADPH:quinone reductase activity increased with the doses of propolis or artepillin C, and an antioxidant-responsive element (ARE) was found to be activated for binding ...
The influence of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) on colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats treated with azoxymethane (AOM). In experiment I, 2% and 0.2% bLf, and Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) as a positive control at 3% were given in the diet for 4 weeks, along with two s.c. 15 mg/kg …
Preventive intervention of colorectal cancer has become essential as a major portion of the population may develop the disease at some points during their lives. Diet and nutrition play an important role during this multistep colon carcinogenic process. Inhibitory activity of aqueous suspensions of garlic and tomato, individually and in combination, were tested on azoxymethane induced colon carcinogenesis in Sprague-Dawley rats. The effect was observed on aberrant crypt foci (ACF), the preneoplastic lesion. To investigate the mechanism of action of the agents used, cell proliferation and the level of apoptosis were determined and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein was analyzed in the colon. Following treatment, significant inhibition of the level of cell proliferation (P|0.01 in garlic; P|0.001 in tomato and P|0.001 in combination treatment group with respect to the carcinogen control group), significant induction of apoptosis (P|0.01 in garlic treated; P|0.01 in tomato treated and P|0
The dose-response relationship in male F344 rats was determined for the ability of aspirin administered in the diet to prevent azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer and aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and to reduce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. Starting at either 7 or 22 weeks of age, the rats received aspirin. All rats received two doses of AOM (15 mg/kg each on days 7 and 14) and were killed on day 36. The lowest concentrations of aspirin to prevent ACF or reduce PGE2 levels were 600 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. To evaluate the prevention of tumors, rats received either 0 or 400 mg/kg aspirin for a total of 39 weeks with AOM (30 mg/kg) administered 7 days after the start of treatment. Aspirin had no effect on the yield of colon tumors. In a second experiment, rats started to receive 0, 200, 600 or 1800 mg/kg aspirin or 1000 mg/kg α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) +/- aspirin. Eight and 15 days later, all the rats received 15 mg/kg AOM. Eleven weeks later, animals that were receiving the control ...
It is generally assumed that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related carcinogenesis occurs as a result of chronic inflammation. We previously developed a novel colitis-related mouse colon carcinogenesis model initiated with azoxymethane (AOM) and followed by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). In the present study we investigated whether a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor nimesulide and ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), troglitazone (a PPARγ ligand) and bezafibrate (a PPARα ligand) inhibit colitis-related colon carcinogenesis using our model to evaluate the efficacy of these drugs in prevention of IBD-related colon carcinogenesis. Female CD-1 (ICR) mice were given a single intraperitoneal administration of AOM (10 mg/kg body weight) and followed by one-week oral exposure of 2% (w/v) DSS in drinking water, and then maintained on the basal diets mixed with or without nimesulide (0.04%, w/w), troglitazone (0.05%, w/w), and bezafibrate (0.05%, w/w) for 14 weeks. The inhibitory
Aspirin, naproxen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are promising chemopreventive agents for individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, uptake of chronic and continuous NSAID administration to reduce CRC risk is limited by unwanted side effects. Employing novel dosing regimens and an azoxymethane-induced rat colon cancer model, Mohammed and colleagues found that intermittent use of either aspirin or naproxen was highly effective in preventing the progression of colonic adenoma to adenocarcinoma without serious side effects (see the study beginning on page 751). These findings could ultimately impact the standard of preventive care for patients at the adenoma stage (i.e., in high-risk cohorts) to protect against advancement to invasive adenocarcinoma with intermittent NSAID use. The micrograph on the cover depicts hematoxylin and eosin staining of rat colon crypt, hyperplasia, adenoma, and adenocarcinomas that recapitulate the histological progression of ...
It is pertinent however to determine wholesome cooking strategies in addition to consuming habits in methods to not intervene with the nutritious worth of meals Mother Nature intended. Have you ever ever gone through a grueling weight reduction program for a very long time, solely to seek out out later that youve hit a wall when it comes to outcomes. You wont end up tempted almost as much if your forbidden foods arent simply accessible. Correctly, chances are youll need to do additional than merely discovering a meals plan reply program. He did it greater than 50 years earlier. One factor to remember when deciding how one can go about shedding pounds is that there is no such thing as a single greatest way to lose weight. This can be a weight loss program thats loaded with numerous greens and fruits, chemopreventive effects of dietary canola oil on colon cancer development with the lean meats and likewise other protein sources. Due to this actuality, it is best to avoid excessive consumption ...
The goal of this study was to characterize p53 tumor suppressor pathway in colon-specific carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM)-induced mouse colon tumor and to assess the usefulness of this animal model to evaluate novel anti-cancer drugs. The acute exposure of mice to AOM showed no overall induction of p53-regulated genes. Subdued p53 gene activation in the colon corresponded to a drop in the expression of its transcriptional co-activator, p300. The status of p53 pathway was further analyzed using AOM-induced mouse colon tumor and the cell line (AJ02-NM0) generated from the primary tumor. Wild type p53 protein, constitutively expressed in this model, showed no detectable DNA binding activity nor did it activate p21 expression. The cell line studies revealed that p53 activity was inhibited by a constitutive interaction with Mdm2. The p53-activating p19/ARF protein did not appear to have significant effect on the standing of p53 pathway in this cell line. p53 was activated by Doxorubicin, 5-FU and the recently
But early in colon cancer development, these growth-controlling hormones are lost and not expressed, disrupting GCCs activity, and, Dr. Waldman believes, contributing to tumor formation. Using two separate mouse models that mimic the development of colon cancer in people, his team showed that GCC signaling blocks such tumors from forming. According to Dr. Waldman, the group found that GCC stops tumors from forming through two different mechanisms. In one case, it controls cell growth, while in the other, it maintains regulation of genomic integrity.. In one mouse cancer model, the animals carried mutations in the APC gene, which causes colon polyps that frequently lead to colon cancer. Mice in the other cancer-development model were exposed to a commonly used experimental cancer-causing agent, azoxymethane. We modeled both ways that humans develop colon cancer, and studied the effects of a lack of GCC on the incidence of colon cancer development, he explains.. We found that in animals ...

Myeloid Translocation Gene, Related-1 (MTGR1) CBFA2T2 is a member of the Myeloid Translocation Gene (MTG) family of transcriptional corepressors. The remaining two family members, MTG8 (RUNX1T1) and MTG16 (CBFA2T3) are identified as targets of chromosomal translocations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mtgr1(-/-) mice have defects in intestinal lineage allocation and wound healing. Moreover, these mice show signs of impaired intestinal stem cell function. Based on these phenotypes, we hypothesized that MTGR1 may influence tumorigenesis arising in an inflammatory background. We report that Mtgr1(-/-) mice were protected from tumorigenesis when injected with azoxymethane (AOM) and then subjected to repeated cycles of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Tumor cell proliferation was comparable, but Mtgr1(-/-) tumors had significantly higher apoptosis rates. These phenotypes were dependent on epithelial injury, the resultant inflammation, or a combination of both as there was no difference in aberrant ...
Interestingly, in the investigated effect of consumption of standard diets supplemented with freeze-dried vegetables (peas, spinach, sprouts and broccoli) and carotenoids (all-trans beta-carotene and palm oil carotenoid extract) on surrogate end-point markers for colorectal cancer in an azoxymethane-induced rat model, researchers at the Unilever Research Vlaardingen, illustrated ...

Bielas and colleagues first set out to analyze mutation rates in mitochondrial DNA because they wanted to see if it could act as a surrogate for nuclear DNA as a cancer biomarker. Cells contain a thousandfold more mitochondrial genetic material than nuclear DNA, so theoretically youd need a thousand times less tissue to get the same genetic information to predict clinical outcomes such as how fast a tumor would progress or whether it would be resistant to therapy, Bielas said.. While mitochondrial DNA proved to be an unreliable stand-in for nuclear DNA as a cancer biomarker, it offers promise as a new drug target.. If we could increase DNA damage and mutation within the mitochondrial genome, theoretically we could decrease cancer, Bielas said. Thats what were testing now. This is a whole new hypothesis.. The way mitochondria maintain genetic stability in the face of cancer, Bielas suggests, may be because unlike normal cells, cancer cells do not need oxygen to survive. In fact, cancer ...

How can you work toward develop a positive body image? By realizing that fitness is not a number; it is a way of life. Avoid choosing a perfect weight for yourself. Instead, think of your ideal weight as a zone, or a range of weight in which you feel comfortable and beautiful. If you focus on healthy lifestyle instead of a number or a measurement, you can feel truly satisfied ...
The characteristic features of cancer cells are aberrant (acidic) intracellular pH and elevated levels of phosphatidylserine. The primary focus of cancer research is concentrated on the discovery of biomarkers directed towards early diagnosis and therapy. It has been observed that azoxymethane-treated mice demonstrate an increased expression of calnuc (a multi-domain, Ca2+- and DNA-binding protein) in their colon, suggesting it to be a good biomarker of carcinogenesis. We show that culture supernatants from tumor cells have significantly higher amounts of secreted calnuc compared to non-tumor cells, selectively packaged into exosomes. Exosomal calnuc is causal for epithelial-mesenchymal transition and atypical migration in non-tumor cells, which are key events in tumorigenesis and metastasis. In vitro studies reveal a significant affinity for calnuc towards phosphatidylserine, specifically to its C-terminal region, leading to the formation of molten globule conformation. Similar structural ...

In their pioneering work on essential fatty acids, Burr, Burr and Miller compared the nutritional properties of α-eleostearic acid (ELA) to that of its isomer alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA relieved essential fatty acid deficiency; ELA did not.[1] In rats, α-eleostearic acid is converted to a conjugated linoleic acid.[2] The compound has been found to induce programmed cell death of fat cells,[3] and of HL60 leukemia cells in vitro at a concentration of 20 μM.[4] Diets containing 0.01% bitter gourd seed oil (0.006% as α-eleostearic acid) were found to prevent azoxymethane-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats.[5] ...
The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) continue to increase worldwide. Therefore, new preventive strategies are needed to lower the burden of this disease. Previous studies reported that aspirin could suppress the development of sporadic colorectal adenoma. In addition, metformin is a biguanide derivative that is long widely used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and has recently been suggested to have a suppressive effect on carcinogenesis and cancer cell growth. Both drugs exhibit a chemopreventive effect, but their efficacy is limited. Aberrant crypt foci (ACF), defined as lesions containing crypts that are larger in diameter and stain more darkly with methylene blue than normal crypts, are more prevalent in patients with cancer and adenomas, and considered a reliable surrogate biomarker of CRC. Thus, we designed a prospective trial as a preliminary study prior to a CRC chemoprevention trial to evaluate the chemopreventive effect of aspirin combined with metformin on

US28 is a constitutively active chemokine receptor encoded by CMV (also referred to as human herpesvirus 5), a highly prevalent human virus that infects a broad spectrum of cells, including intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). To study the role of US28 in vivo, we created transgenic mice (VS28 mice) in which US28 expression was targeted to IECs. Expression of US28 was detected in all IECs of the small and large intestine, including in cells expressing leucine rich repeat containing GPCR5 (Lgr5), a marker gene of intestinal epithelial stem cells. US28 expression in IECs inhibited glycogen synthase 3β (GSK-3β) function, promoted accumulation of β-catenin protein, and increased expression of Wnt target genes involved in the control of the cell proliferation. VS28 mice showed a hyperplastic intestinal epithelium and, strikingly, developed adenomas and adenocarcinomas by 40 weeks of age. When exposed to an inflammation-driven tumor model (azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate), VS28 mice developed a
Natural killer (NK) cells are an essential component of innate immunity against cancer development. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate immune-modulating effects using dietary compounds. Our laboratory has been investigating the chemopreventive potential of black raspberries (BRBs) and previously demonstrated their beneficial modulation of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The current study investigated their potential on modulating NK cells. To avoid the excessive inflammation caused by the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment that leads to colitis, we treated the mice with overnight DSS so that it would slightly irritate the colon but still promote colon carcinogenesis with 100% incidence in both the Apc(Min/+) mice and azoxymethane (AOM)-treated mice ...
Cardiac fibrosis is a pathophysiologic hallmark of the aging heart. In the uninjured heart, cardiac fibroblasts exist in the quiescent state, but little is known about how proliferation rates and fibroblast transcriptional programs change throughout the lifespan of the organism from the immediate postnatal period to adult life and old age. Using EdU pulse labeling, we demonstrate that more than 50% of cardiac fibroblasts are actively proliferating in the first day of post-natal life. However, within 4 weeks of birth in the juvenile animal, only 10% of cardiac fibroblasts are proliferating. By early adulthood, the fraction of proliferating cardiac fibroblasts further decreases to approximately 2%, where it so remains throughout the rest of the organisms life span. Examination of absolute cardiac fibroblast numbers demonstrated concordance with age related changes in fibroblast proliferation with no significant differences in absolute cardiac fibroblast numbers between animals 14 weeks and 1.5 ...
