Anti-tumor promoting potential of luteolin against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary tumors in rats 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In this study, we evaluated the anti-tumor potential of luteolin (30mg/kg, p.o.), combined with cyclophosphamide (10mg/kg, i.p.) (LU+CYC) orally administered for 20 days; and CYC individually for 10 days against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Combination treatment (LU+CYC) inhibited the incidence rate of tumors and decreased tumor volume significantly without changing the total body weight of the animals. Long-term treatment did not show any apparent toxicity in rats. The CYC-treated group showed potential reduction of tumor volume (74%), severe toxicity, and loss of body weight. In order to elucidate the anticancer mechanism of luteolin, antioxidant activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) generation in the liver, kidney and breast, as well as protein profiles, were also examined. Biochemical analysis of the combination-treated group showed significant (P<0.01; P<0.05) inhibition of lipid peroxide (LPx) formation (oxygen-free radicals), the level and the activity of SOD, CAT and GPx were found to be very high than the LU and CYC individually treated rats at a 30mg/kg dose. 2D gel electrophoresis analysis revealed that (56kDa) high molecular weight protein was detected in tumors of rats receiving combination treatment than the cancer controls. The biological significance of that protein involved for the dysfunction of cancer cells and induces apoptosis. Histopathological changes also confirmed the formation of tumor tubules and neovascularization after the treatment. Overall, these results suggest that the combination treatment provided antioxidant defense with strong chemopreventive activity against the genesis of DMBA-induced mammary tumors. 相似文献

Primary cell cultures from a density-defined cell subpopulation of the DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors were exposed to tamoxifen during their log phase of growth. Growth inhibition and the ultrastructure of surviving cells were examined along with the influence of this antiestrogen on the secreted proteins as determined by pulse labeling with [35S]methionine and fluorography. Cell growth was remarkably inhibited at clinically achievable concentrations. However, ultrastructural changes in the surviving cells were minimal, the most noteworthy being the accumulation of myelin bodies. Protein secretion was affected in the defined subpopulation of several tumors by the reduced production of a high-molecular-weight protein. These tumors may represent a population of estrogen-sensitive tumors within the DMBA-induced mammary tumor model. 相似文献

Caloric restriction reduces the incidence and progression of a broad spectrum of neoplastic diseases, yet little is known about the biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved. Profiles of enzyme activities of importance in cellular energy utilization were examined in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced (DMBA) mammary adenocarcinomas from rats fed ad libitum or calorically restricted diets. The diets provided equal nutrients except for fewer carbohydrate-derived calories; graded caloric restriction was 10, 20, 30 and 40%. The specific activities of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were all elevated to varying degrees in both large palpable and small, non-palpable tumors from calorically restricted hosts compared to activities in tumors from ad libitum-fed rats. Phosphofructokinase activity was increased in palpable tumors from calorically restricted hosts but markedly reduced in non-palpable tumors. These results suggest adaptive or compensatory alterations in tumor enzyme profiles in response to the altered nutritional state of the host. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of pinealocytes was studied in rats with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary tumors which were subjected to experimental manipulations known as enhancers of pineal actions (anosmia, underfeeding or cold exposure). In these animals we found: (I)--more nuclei with deep nuclear invaginations; (II)--a large number of cytoplasmic organelles, including lipid droplets, myeloid bodies, synaptic ribbons and lysosomes; (III)--numerous degenerative changes. In general, we found an increase in structural features related to pineal photoneuroendocrine activity. Our results indicate that pineal-dependent inhibition of neoplastic growth induced by these experimental manipulations, previously reported, can be mediated through an increase in pineal metabolic activity. 相似文献

The administration of the placental hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) to 50-day-old virgin Sprague--Dawley rats has been shown to reduce the incidence of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary cancer. We now report from studies using rat mammary epithelial cells in culture that the anti-carcinogenic effect of HCG may be related to its effect on DNA binding of DMBA and on DNA repair. The results showed that the level of excision repair in cells derived from young virgin (YV) rats grown in the presence of HCG (10 units/ml) was 2.5-4.0 times higher than the level exhibited by control YV cells and 1.5-2.5 times over that obtained for cells from old virgin and parous rats. The effect of HCG on DMBA-DNA binding was also determined in YV cells cultured in the presence of HCG (10 units/ml). Results from this study indicated that DMBA-DNA binding was inhibited by 30-40% in HCG-treated cells as compared to control cells. DNA binding of DMBA was also determined with mammary epithelial cells from YV rats which were given subcutaneous injections of HCG (5 units/rat) 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Using this in vivo-in vitro protocol, DMBA-DNA binding was 17-51% lower in cells from HCG-treated rats than in cells derived from control saline-treated rats. These results suggest that the protective effect provided by HCG against DMBA-induced mammary tumorigenesis may be attributed to its ability to inhibit binding of the carcinogen to mammary cell DNA and to its ability to increase the level of excision repair in the cells. 相似文献

Summary Milk protein gene expression was studied in cell subpopulations of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammary carcinoma cells enriched or depleted for casein production grown on attached collagen gels.
Culture of these cells in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, insulin (5 μg/ml), hydrocortisone (10 μg/ml), and prolactin
(5 μg/ml) maintained α-, β-, and γ-casein and whey acidic protein mRNAs at levels identical to cells isolated from perphenazine-treated
rats. Whey acidic protein mRNA levels in the tumor cells relative to the 14-d lactating gland were greater than those of the
casein mRNAs. Withdrawal of prolactin from the casein-producing cells resulted in the loss of all four milk protein mRNAs.
Subsequent addition of prolactin to the withdrawn cells caused a rapid accumulation of these mRNAs to prewithdrawal levels.
Milk protein gene expression in this tumor cell subpopulation is modulated by prolactin (in the presence of insulin and hydrocortisone)
in a similar manner to that observed in the normal mammary gland when these tumor cells are cultured on attached collagen
gels.

Antioxidative effects of hesperetin against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced oxidative stress in mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Choi EJ 《Life sciences》2008,82(21-22):1059-1064
We investigated the effects of the chronic administration of hesperetin on the activation of the antioxidant defence system in mice in which oxidative stress had been induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Mice were divided randomly into three treatment groups. Hesperetin was administered orally to two of the three groups at 10 and 50 mg/kg body weight for 5 weeks. Subsequently, each group was subdivided randomly into DMBA-treated and untreated groups. The DMBA-treated groups were intragastrically administered a dose of 34 mg/kg BW in corn oil vehicle twice a week for 2 weeks. The TBARS value showed a tendency to decrease following hesperetin treatment; these decreases were significantly greater in the DMBA-treated than the untreated groups. Hesperetin significantly decreased the carbonyl content at the high dose in both DMBA-treated and untreated mice. Catalase and SOD activity were increased by hesperetin; this increase was more pronounced in DMBA-treated than untreated mice. Catalase, Mn-SOD, and CuZn-SOD expression analyses supported these results. Although the GSH-px and GR activity were little affected, hesperetin treatment significantly increased the GSH/GSSG ratio in the DMBA-treated group in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that hesperetin shows antioxidant activity and plays a protective role against DMBA-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

The peroxidase and estradiol-metabolizing activities of mammary tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene were determined in fresh and stored tissue. In both cases, a wide variation in peroxidase activity was observed in 47 different tumors tested. The properties of the enzyme found in the tumors were similar to those of lactoperoxidase. It is suggested that the amount of peroxidase present might reflect the ability of tumor cells to differentiate in response to hormonal stimulation and be indicative of the degree of tumor progression. 相似文献

Female rats were examined for the effects of feeding buckwheat protein extract (BWPE) on the development of mammary tumor caused by administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene. The percentage of rats with palpable mammary tumors and serum estradiol were lower in the BWPE-fed animals than the casein-fed ones, implying that BWPE intake retarded the mammary carcinogenesis by lowering serum estradiol. 相似文献

Administration of 13-cis retinoic acid and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide daily in the diet to female Sprague-Dawley rats beginning one day after intubation with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) prolonged the latency periods and inhibited the percentage incidence of mammary tumors. A significant reduction in the total number of tumors was also evident. The inhibition of mammary tumor growth by retinoids was associated with a significant increase (3-fold) in cytosolic cAMP-binding and histone kinase activities. The increase of histone kinase activity was almost totally in the cAMP-dependent protein kinase Type II. Retinoic acid increased the amount of the regulatory subunit (R11) rather than altering its cAMP binding affinity. These results suggest that cAMP-dependent protein kinase Type II may be involved in mediating the retinoid action in the inhibition of mammary tumor growth in vivo. 相似文献

The hormonal regulation of two plasminogen activators, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase (u-PA), was studied both in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary carcinoma and in DMBA-induced rat mammary dysplasia. t-PA activity in DMBA-mammary carcinoma was decreased markedly by oophorectomy and recovered upon estradiol administration to reach the maximum level at 12 hr. In contrast to its effect on DMBA-mammary carcinoma, estradiol had no effect on t-PA activity in DMBA-mammary dysplasia. Furthermore, DMBA-mammary carcinoma cells in primary culture displayed similar estrogen-dependency in production of t-PA, while t-PA production in DMBA-mammary dysplasia cells was not under the control of estradiol in vitro. Moreover, estrogen-stimulated production of u-PA activity was not observed in DMBA-mammary carcinoma cells or DMBA-mammary dysplasia cells both in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, these results suggest that estrogen stimulates the production of t-PA but not u-PA and that this estrogen dependency of t-PA is limited to malignant DMBA-mammary tumor cells. 相似文献
