To shed light on the association of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status with the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), we studied the modulatory influence of resveratrol, supplemented in three dietary regimens (initiation, post-initiation and entire period) on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon carcinogenesis. Rats were administered DMH (20 mg/kg body weight, s.c.) for 15 weeks and were supplemented with resveratrol (8 mg/kg body weight, p.o. everyday) in three dietary regimens. Intestines and colons were analyzed for the levels of diene conjugates (DC), lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Enzymic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT; glutathione peroxidase, GPX; glutathione S-transferase, GST; and glutathione reductase, GR) and non-enzymic reserve (reduced glutathione, GSH; ascorbate; and alpha-tocopherol) were also assessed in the intestine and colon. Unsupplemented DMH exposed rats showed significantly decreased levels/activities of tissue DC, LOOHs, TBARS, SOD, CAT, GSH, GR and significantly elevated (P<0.05) GPX, GST, alpha-tocopherol and ascorbate as compared to control rats. Resveratrol supplementation during the entire period of the study resulted in significant (P<0.01) modulation of lipid peroxidation markers and antioxidants status, which were paralleled with ACF suppression, as compared to DMH-alone treated rats. These results indicate that resveratrol effectively inhibits DMH-induced ACF and colonic tumor development. 相似文献

Rat colonic lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status: the effects of dietary luteolin on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine challenge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. A number of recent articles demonstrate the importance of natural products as cancer chemopreventive agents. In this study, we evaluated the chemopreventive efficacy of luteolin, a flavonoid, on tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status, which are used as biomarkers in DMH-induced experimental colon carcinogenesis. Rats were given a weekly subcutaneous injection of DMH at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight for 15 weeks. Luteolin (0.2 mg/kg body weight/everyday p.o.) was given to the DMH-treated rats at the initiation and post-initiation stages of carcinogenesis. The animals were killed after 30 weeks. After a total experimental period of 32 weeks (including 2 weeks of acclimatization), tumor incidence was 100% in DMH-treated rats. In those DMH-treated rats that had received luteolin during the initiation or post-initiation stages of colon carcinogenesis, the incidence of cancer and the colon tumor size was significantly reduced as compared to that for DMH-treated rats not receiving luteolin. In the presence of DMH, relative to the results for the control rats, there were decreased levels of lipid peroxidation, as denoted by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes and lipid hydroperoxides, decreased activities of the enzymic antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and elevated levels of glutathione and the glutathione-dependent enzymes reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR), and of the non-enzymic antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E. Our study shows that intragastric administration of luteolin inhibits colon carcinogenesis, not only by modulating lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status, but also by preventing DMH-induced histopathological changes. Our results thus indicate that luteolin could act as a potent chemopreventive agent for colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common internal malignancies in Western society. Currently oxidative stress has been increasingly postulated as a major contributor to carcinogenesis. The assessment of damage in various biological matrices, such as tissues and cells, is vital to understand the development of carcinogenesis and subsequently devising intervention strategies. Thus, the major objective of the present study was to examine the effect of resveratrol (Res) on DNA damage in a short-term study of 16 days and circulatory lipid peroxidation, enzymic/non-enzymic antioxidants status in a long-term study of 30 weeks in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induced colon carcinogenesis. Wistar male rats were divided into 6 groups, group 1 were control rats, group 2 rats received Res (8 mg/kg body weight, orally, everyday), rats in groups 3–6 were administered (DMH, 20 mg/kg body weight, s.c.) as four injections in order to induce DNA damage in the short-term or once a week for the first 15 weeks in the long-term study. In addition to DMH, group 4 (initiation), 5 (post-initiation) and 6 (entire-period) received Res (8 mg/kg body weight, p.o., everyday). The results revealed that, supplementation with Res (entire-period) treatment regimen significantly reduced the DMH-induced leukocytic DNA damage (tail length, tail moment, % DNA in the comet tail and olive tail moment) as compared to DMH-alone treated rats. In addition, entire-period Res supplementation increased the enzymic (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase) and non-enzymic (reduced glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene) antioxidant status with a corresponding decrease in the extent of lipid peroxidation markers (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, diene conjugates and lipid hydroperoxides). Conversely, Res supplementation during initiation and post-initiation regimen did not produce greater modulatory effects. Our results indicate that DMH-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress were suppressed/prevented effectively by chronic Res supplementation. 相似文献

Fenugreek seeds modulate 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced hepatic oxidative stress during colon carcinogenesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) is a colon carcinogen which undergoes oxidative metabolism in the liver. We have investigated the modulatory effect of fenugreek seeds (a spice) on colon tumor incidence as well as hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant status during DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis in male Wistar rats. In DMH treated rats, 100% colon tumor incidence was accompanied by enhanced LPO and a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) content as well as a fall in glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities. Inclusion of fenugreek seed powder in the diet of DMH treated rats reduced the colon tumor incidence to 16.6%, decreased the LPO and increased the activities of GPx, GST, SOD and CAT in the liver. We report that fenugreek modulates DMH-induced hepatic oxidative stressduring colon cancer 相似文献

The present study evaluated the inhibitory effects of zinc on colonic antioxidant defense system and histoarchitecture during
1,2 dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induced colon carcinogenesis in male Sparque Dawley rats. The rats were segregated into four groups viz., normal control, DMH treated, zinc treated, DMH + zinc treated. Colon
carcinogenesis was induced through weekly subcutaneous injections of DMH (30 mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks. Zinc (in the
form of zinc sulphate) was supplemented to rats at a dose level of 227 mg/l in drinking water, ad libitum for the entire duration of the study. Increased lipid peroxidation was accompanied by a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH),
glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase. Administration of zinc
to DMH treated rats significantly decreased the lipid peroxidation levels with simultaneous enhancement of GSH, GR, GST, SOD,
and Catalase. Histopathological studies from DMH treated rats revealed disorganization of colonic histoarchitecture. However,
zinc treatment to DMH treated rats greatly restored normalcy in the colonic histoarchitecture, with no apparent signs of abnormality.
Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) studies revealed a significant decrease in tissue concentrations of zinc in the
colon following DMH treatment, which upon zinc supplementation were recovered to near normal levels. In conclusion, the results
of this study suggest that zinc has a beneficial effect during the initiation of key events leading to the development of
experimentally induced carcinogenesis. 相似文献

We investigated the chemopreventive potential of luteolin on hepatic and circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status during 1,2-dimethylhydrazine induced colon carcinogenesis in rats. Rats were given a weekly subcutaneous injection of DMH at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight for 15 weeks. Luteolin (0.2 mg/kg body weight/everyday p.o.) was given at the initiation and also at the postinitiation stages of carcinogenesis to DMH treated rats. The animals were sacrificed at the end of 30 weeks. Enhanced lipid peroxidation in the liver and circulation of tumor bearing rats was accompanied by a significant decrease in the levels of plasma and hepatic reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene in DMH treated rats as compared to the control rats. Intragastric administration of luteolin (0.2mg/kg body weight) to DMH-treated rats significantly reduced the incidence and size of tumor in the colon, reduced lipid peroxidation levels and enhanced the plasma and hepatic activities of GSH, GPx, GST, GR, SOD, CAT, vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. Thus the chemopreventive efficacy of luteolin against colon carcinogenesis is evidenced by our preliminary studies which showed decreased incidence of tumors and the antiperoxidative and antioxidant effect of luteolin. Further study on the exact mechanism of action of luteolin in preventing colon carcinogenesis is yet to be elucidated. 相似文献

We investigated the chemopreventive effect of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA), an active phenolic acid of rice bran, turmeric, and Kaemperfia galanga against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced rat colon carcinogenesis. Male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group 1 consisted of control rats that received a modified pellet diet and 0.1% carboxymethyl cellulose. The rats in Group 2 received a modified pellet diet supplemented with p-MCA [80 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.) post-orally (p.o.)] everyday. The rats in Groups 3-6 received 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) (20 mg/kg b.wt.) via subcutaneous injections once a week for the first 4 weeks; additionally, the rats in Groups 4, 5 and 6 received p-MCA at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg b.wt./day p.o., respectively, everyday for 16 weeks. The rats were sacrificed at the end of the experimental period of 16 weeks. The DMH-treated rats exhibited an increased incidence of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) development; an increased crypt multiplicity; decreased concentrations of tissue lipid peroxidation markers such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes (CD) and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH); decreased levels of tissue enzymic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR); and decreased levels of non-enzymic antioxidants such as reduced glutathione (GSH) and vitamins C, E and A in the colon. Supplementation with p-MCA significantly reversed these changes and significantly inhibited the formation of ACF and its multiplicity. Thus, our findings demonstrate that p-MCA exerts a strong chemopreventive activity against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colon carcinogenesis by virtue of its ability to prevent the alterations in DMH-induced circulatory and tissue oxidative stress and preneoplastic changes. p-MCA was more effective when administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg b.wt. than at the other two doses tested. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide with diet playing a prominent role in disease initiation and progression. Diet and nutrition play an important role during this multistep colon carcinogenic process. We have investigated the modulatory efficacy of hesperetin on aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon carcinogenesis. Male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group 1 served as control, received modified pellet diet and group 2 rats received 20 mg/kg body weight of hesperetin p.o. every day. Groups 3-6 rats were given subcutaneous injections of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (20 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 15 weeks to induce ACF in the colon. In addition, rats in group 4 received hesperetin as in group 2 orally for the first 15 weeks (initiation), group 5 rats received hesperetin as in group 2 after the last injection of DMH and continued till the end of the experimental period (post-initiation). Group 6 received hesperetin as in group 2 throughout the entire period of 32 weeks. DMH exposure showed high incidence (90%) of ACF (280 ± 24.5 aberrant crypt/colon) and dysplastic ACF, elevated activities of phase I enzymes and reduced the activities of phase II enzymes in the liver and colonic mucosa of colon cancer bearing rats. Hesperetin supplementation significantly reversed these effects, the effect being more pronounced in group 6 rats (hesperetin supplemented throughout the study period).These findings suggest that hesperetin can significantly reduce the formation of preneoplastic lesions and effectively modulate the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rats. 相似文献

Colon cancer is the major health hazard related with high mortality and it is a pathological consequence of persistent oxidative stress and inflammation. Farnesol, an isoprenoid alcohol, has been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive properties. The present study was performed to evaluate the protective efficacy of farnesol against 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induced oxidative stress, inflammatory response and apoptotic tissue damage. Farnesol was administered once daily for seven consecutive days at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight in corn oil. On day 7, a single injection of DMH was given subcutaneously in the groin at the dose of 40 mg/kg body weight. Protective effects of farnesol were assessed by using caspase-3 activity, tissue lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant status as end point markers. Further strengthening was evident on histopathological observations used to assess the protective efficacy of farnesol. Prophylactic treatment with farnesol significantly ameliorates DMH induced oxidative damage by diminishing the tissue LPO accompanied by increase in enzymatic viz., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR) and non-enzymatic viz., reduced glutathione (GSH) antioxidant status. Farnesol supplementation significantly decreased caspase-3 activity in colonic tissue. Histological findings also revealed that pretreatment with farnesol significantly reduced the severity of submucosal edema, regional destruction of the mucosal layer and intense infiltration of the inflammatory cells in mucosal and submucosal layers of the colon. The data of the present study suggest that farnesol effectively suppress DMH induced colonic mucosal damage by ameliorating oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic responses. 相似文献

Vanadium (V) has recently been found to possess potent anti-neoplastic activity in rat colon carcinogenesis. In the present study attempts have been made to investigate the expression of the number and area of aberrant crypt foci positive for placental glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) during 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH)-induced rat colon carcinogenesis. Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups. Rats in group A were designed as normal controls. Group B animals received DMH once a week (20 mg/kg body wt.) intraperitoneally for 16 weeks. Group C rats received the same treatment of DMH as in group B, along with 0.5-ppm vanadium as ammonium monovanadate ad libitum in drinking water throughout the experiment. Vanadium alone was given to Group D rats without any DMH injection. The expression of the number and the area of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) positive for GST-P was maximum in DMH-treated group. Vanadium-treated rats significantly reduced (P < 0.001) the expression of GST-P positive ACF cells (by 71.13%) for the entire period of the study. Moreover the histopathological examination also showed that vanadium action could minimize the aberrant crypt foci (P < 0.001). Furthermore, vanadium supplementation also elevated SOD activities in both liver and colon (P < 0.01, P < 0.02 and P < 0.01, P < 0.02 respectively) when compared to their carcinogen counterparts. Our results confirm that vanadium is particularly effective in limiting the action of the carcinogen, thereby establishing its anticarcinogenicity in chemically induced rat colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Chemoprevention opens new perspectives in the prevention of cancer and other degenerative diseases. Use of target-organ biological models at the histological and genetic levels can markedly facilitate the identification of such potential chemopreventive agents. Colon cancer is one of the highest incidence rates throughout the world and some evidences have indicated carotenoids as possible agents that decrease the risk of colorectal cancer. In the present study, we evaluate the activity of annatto (Bixa orellana L.), a natural food colorant rich in carotenoid, on the formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by dimethylhydrazine (DMH) in rat colon. Further, we investigate, the effect of annatto on DMH-induced DNA damage, by the comet assay. Male Wistar rats were given s.c. injections of DMH (40 mg/kg body wt.) twice a week for 2 weeks to induce ACF. They also received experimental diets containing annatto at 20, 200 or 1000 ppm for five 5 weeks before (pre-treatment), or 10 weeks after (post-treatment) DMH treatment. In both protocols the rats were sacrificed on week 15th. For the comet assay, the animals were fed with the same experimental diets for 2 weeks. Four hours before the sacrifice, the animals received an s.c. injection of DMH (40 mg/kg body wt.). Under such conditions, dietary administration of 1000 ppm annatto neither induce DNA damage in blood and colon cells nor aberrant crypt foci in rat distal colon. Conversely, annatto was successful in inhibiting the number of crypts/colon (animal), but not in the incidence of DMH-induced ACF, mainly when administered after DMH. However, no antigenotoxic effect was observed in colon cells. These findings suggest possible chemopreventive effects of annatto through their modulation of the cryptal cell proliferation but not at the initiation stage of colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Ethanolic leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) inhibits buccal pouch carcinogenesis in hamsters
We evaluated the chemopreventive effects of ethanolic neem leaf extract in the initiation and post-initiation phases of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch (HBP) carcinogenesis. The frequency of bone marrow micronuclei as well as the concentrations of lipid peroxides, ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG), and the activities of the GSH-dependent enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the buccal pouch, liver and erythrocytes were used as biomarkers of chemoprevention. All the hamsters painted with DMBA alone for 14 weeks developed buccal pouch carcinomas that showed diminished lipid peroxidation and enhanced antioxidant status associated with increased frequencies of bone marrow micronuclei. In the liver and erythrocytes of tumour-bearing animals, enhanced lipid peroxidation was accompanied by compromised antioxidant defences. Administration of ethanolic neem leaf extract effectively suppressed DMBA-induced HBP carcinogenesis as revealed by the absence of tumours in the initiation phase and reduced tumour incidence in the post-initiation phase. In addition, ethanolic neem leaf extract modulated lipid peroxidation and enhanced antioxidant status in the pouch, liver and erythrocytes and reduced the incidence of bone marrow micronuclei. The results of the present study, demonstrate that ethanolic neem leaf extract inhibits the development of DMBA-induced HBP tumours by protecting against oxidative stress. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between diabetes mellitus and colorectal carcinogenesis as well as the possible mechanism involved in this interaction. Diabetes rat models were induced with a low dose of STZ followed by a low dose of DMH to induce colorectal cancer. The formation of ACF in the colon and the incidence, number and size of tumors were measured. The activity of glycolytic enzymes in colonic tissues was also measured. The results demonstrated that both the total number of ACF and the number of foci that contain a different number of crypts were increased in diabetic rats. At the end of the experimental treatment, the incidence, number and size of tumors were also increased in diabetic rats. Overall, these data indicated that diabetes increased the risk of colorectal cancer. The activity of HK and PK in colonic tissues was increased in diabetic rats, whereas the activity of PDH was decreased. In addition, the activities of these enzymes in intratumor were higher than that of in peritumor. These data indicated that the high rate of glycolysis may play a role in colorectal carcinogenesis in diabetic rats. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to unravel the chemopreventive effect of luteolin on bacterial enzymes such as beta-glucuronidase and mucinase in a colon carcinogenesis model induced by 1, 2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH). Twenty mg/kg body weight of DMH were administered subcutaneously once a week for the first 15 weeks and then discontinued. Luteolin (0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 mg/kg body weight/everyday (p.o.) was administered in a dose dependent manner at the initiation and also at the post-initiation stages of carcinogenesis to DMH treated rats. The animals were sacrificed at the end of 30 weeks. Colon cancer incidence and the activities of bacterial enzymes beta-glucuronidase (in the proximal colon, distal colon, intestines, liver and colon contents) and mucinase (colon and fecal contents) were significantly increased in DMH -treated rats compared to the control rats. On luteolin administration, colon cancer incidence, number of tumors per rat and the activities of beta-glucuronidase and mucinase, were significantly decreased both in the initiation and post-initiation stages of colon carcinogenesis dependent on the three different doses given. The increase in beta-glucuronidase activity may augment the hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates, liberating toxins, while the increase in the mucinase activity may enhance the hydrolysis of the protective mucins in the colon. Thus our results demonstrate for the first time that luteolin, a dietary flavonoid, exerts chemopreventive and anticarcinogenic effects against DMH induced colon cancer. 相似文献

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a multifunctional protein that plays different roles in cancer biology. To better understand the role of Gal-3 and its ligands during colon carcinogenesis, we studied its expression in tumors induced in rats treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) and in human tissues. Normal colon from untreated rats showed no staining using two specific monoclonal antibodies. In contrast, morphologically normal colon from DMH-treated rats and dysplastic aberrant crypt foci were strongly stained, indicating that increased Gal-3 expression is an early event during the neoplastic transformation in colon cells. Gal-3 was weakly expressed in adenocarcinomas. Overall, the Gal-3 expression pattern observed in the DMH rat model closely resembles that displayed by human colon stained with the same antibodies. We also found that Gal-3 phosphorylation diminishes in serines while increasing in tyrosines during rat colon carcinogenesis. Finally, we showed that Gal-3–ligands expression is strikingly similar in rat and human malignant colon and in non-malignant tissues. In conclusion, the DMH-induced rat colon cancer model displays expression patterns of Gal-3 and its ligands very similar to those observed in human samples. This animal model should contribute to clarifying the role of Gal-3 in colon carcinogenesis and also to finding effective preventive cancer agents based on Gal-3 targeting.

Oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins, lipids, and DNA seem to influence the promotion and progression of tumors. High-fat diets and diets high in iron decrease manganese superoxide dismutase activity, a mitochondrial antioxidant, in colon mucosa. Lipid peroxidation products are low in microsomal preparations from colonic mucosa even under peroxide-inducing conditions. However, damage specific to mitochondrial membranes is unknown. This study was designed to investigate dietary lipid and iron effects on fatty acid incorporation and lipid peroxide formation in mitochondrial membranes of colonic mucosa. Male Fischer rats were fed high-fat diets containing either corn oil or menhaden oil with an iron level of either 35 or 535 mg/kg diet. Animals were given two injections of the colon carcinogen, azoxymethane, or saline. Colon tissue was collected 1 and 6 weeks after injections. Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were prepared for fatty acid analysis and quantitation of lipid peroxidation products. Results showed that lipid composition of both subcellular fractions were influenced by diet. Fatty acid composition of mitochondria differed from microsomes, but overall saturation remained constant. Peroxidation products in mitochondrial membranes were significantly greater than in microsomal membranes. Dietary treatment significantly affected mitochondrial peroxidation in carcinogen-treated animals. Therefore, mitochondria from colon mucosa are more susceptible to peroxidation than are microsomes, dietary factors influence the degree of peroxidation, and the resulting damage may be important in early colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that dietary micronutrient vanadium can protect neoplastic development induced by chemical carcinogens. Current investigation is an attempt to evaluate the role of vanadium (4.27 micro mol/l) in inhibiting 1,2 dimethyhydrazine (DMH) (20 mg/kg body weight) induced rat colon carcinogenesis. We investigated the effect of vanadium against the formation of DMH-induced O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)-Meg) DNA adduct, a potent cytotoxic and mutagenic agent for colon cancer. Supplementation of vanadium significantly reduced the hepatic (P<0.05), and colonic (at three sequential time points; ANOVA, F=4.96, P<0.05) O(6)-Meg DNA adduct levels in rats, indicating vanadium's potency in limiting the initiation event of colon carcinogenesis. Removal of initiated and damaged precancerous cells by apoptosis can prevent tumorigenesis and further malignancy. DNA fragmentation study revealed the vanadium-mediated apoptotic induction in colon tumors. The increased value of apoptotic index (AI) (62.27%; P<0.01) in subsequent TUNEL assay further confirmed the apoptosis induction by vanadium. This paralleled the nuclear immunoexpression of p53. A significant positive correlation between p53 immunoexpression and AI (P=0.0026, r=0.83, r(2)=0.69) links its association with vanadium-mediated apoptotic induction. Vanadium treatment also abated the mRNA expression of iNOS (54.03%), reflecting its protective effect against nitric oxide-mediated genotoxicity and colon tumorigenesis. These studies cumulatively provide strong evidence for the inhibitory actions of vanadium against DMH-induced genotoxicity and carcinogenesis in rat colon. 相似文献

Obacunone and limonin are bitter limonoids in citrus. Their modifying effects on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), the activity of detoxification enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), and cell proliferation activity were investigated in male F344 rats treated with azoxymethane (AOM). Obacunone and limonin were administered in the diet, during the initiation (for 4 weeks) or postinitiation phase (for 4 weeks) of AOM-induced tumorigenesis. Feeding of obacunone and limonin (0.02% or 0.05%) caused significant reduction (55-65% by "initiation" feeding and 28-42% by "postinitiation" feeding) in the yield of ACF. The ability to reduce the proliferating cell nuclear antigen-labeling index in crypts and correlated well with the prevention of ACF. In a subsequent long-term experiment (38 weeks), in which rats were initiated with AOM and fed 0.05% obacunone or 0.05% limonin during the initiation or post-initiation phase, both compounds in diet caused significant reduction (65%-92% inhibition) in the incidence of colonic adenocarcinoma. Thus, citrus bitter limonoids obacunone and limonin possess chemopreventive effects on chemically induced rat colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

The fruits of Solanum lycocarpum, known as wolf-fruit, are used in folk medicine, and because of that we have evaluated both the genotoxic potential of its glycoalkaloidic extract (SL) and its influence on the genotoxicity induced by methyl methanesulfonate. Furthermore, the potential blocking effect of SL intake in the initial stage of colon carcinogenesis in Wistar rats was investigated in a short-term (4-week) bioassay using aberrant crypt foci (ACF) as biomarker. The genotoxic potential was evaluated using the Swiss mice peripheral blood micronucleus test. The animals were treated with different doses of SL (15, 30 and 60 mg/kg b.w.) for 14 days, and the peripheral blood samples were collected at 48 h, 7 days and 14 days after starting the treatment. For antigenotoxicity assessment, MMS was administered on the 14th day, and after 24 h the harvesting of bone marrow and liver cells was performed, for the micronucleus and comet assays, respectively. In the ACF assay, male Wistar rats were given four subcutaneous injections of the carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 40 mg/kg b.w.), twice a week, during two weeks to induce ACF. The treatment with SL (15, 30 and 60 mg/kg b.w.) was given for four weeks during and after carcinogen treatment to investigate the potential beneficial effects of SL on DMH-induced ACF. The results demonstrated that SL was not genotoxic in the mouse micronucleus test. In animals treated with SL and MMS, the frequencies of micronucleus and extensions of DNA damage were significantly reduced in comparison with the animals receiving only MMS. Regarding the ACF assay, SL significantly reduced the frequency of ACF induced by DMH. 相似文献

Effect of prefeeding dehydrated amaranth (A. gangeticus) leaves at 10 and 20% levels on a chemical toxicant, dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced free radical stress in rat liver was evaluated. DMH-induced rise in hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), was diminished by AL. AL intake resulted in a significant increase in hepatic glutathione (GSH). The feeding of AL at 10% level increased the hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) activity, while that at 20% level increased the hepatic glutathione reductase (GSSGR) as well, in addition to G-6-PDH. Amaranth leaves at 10 and 20% levels of feeding diminished the hepatic superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. DMH influenced adversely the hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities. Simultaneous administration of DMH and feeding of AL enhanced the DMH-induced decrease in hepatic GSH-Px. DMH enhanced formation of micronuclei was reverted significantly by AL intake. Hence, it was concluded that the consumption of AL at 20% level reduced DMH-induced impaired antioxidant status in rat liver. 相似文献
