Enhancement of rat colon carcinogenesis by wheat bran consumption during the stage of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine administration.
The effect on intestinal carcinogenesis of feeding a 20% wheat bran dietary supplement, either during and/or after the stage of carcinogen administration with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, was examined in 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats fed defined diets for 31 weeks. Nutrient intake and body weight gain were equivalent in all groups of animals. In the rats fed bran during carcinogen administration, tumor...
متن کاملEnhancement by methionine enkephalin of colon carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane.
The effect of the opioid receptor agonist methionine enkephalin (Met-enkephalin) and the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone on colonic carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane was investigated in Wistar rats. Rats received ten weekly injections of 7.4 mg/kg of body weight of azoxymethane and injections of Met-enkephalin (50 micrograms/kg of body weight), naloxone (2 mg/kg of body weight), or Met...
متن کاملEnhancement of experimental colon carcinogenesis by dietary 6-phenylhexyl isothiocyanate.
Naturally occurring and related synthetic isothiocyanates are known to exert chemopreventive effects in several organs in rodent models. The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of 6-phenylhexyl isothiocyanate (PHITC), a potent chemopreventive agent in the lung tumor model in strain A mice, on azoxymethane-induced colon tumorigenesis. Another aim was to study the modulating ef...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis in mouse stomach by simultaneous activation of the Wnt signaling and prostaglandin E2 pathway.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Accumulating evidence indicates that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), a downstream product of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), plays a key role in gastric tumorigenesis. The Wnt pathway is also suggested to play a causal role in gastric carcinogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood of how the Wnt and PGE(2) pathways contribute to gastric tumorigenesis. To inv...
متن کاملEnhancement of Lewis lung carcinoma cell migration by prostaglandin E2 produced by macrophages.
The role of macrophages in tumor metastasis was examined by using migration of a cloned metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) variant, LLC-C4, out of glass capillary tubes as an in vitro model for dissemination of tumor cells from a primary tumor mass. Macrophages, derived from LLC tumors of C57BL/6 mice or from peritoneal exudates of mice given injections of complete Freund's adjuvant, enhance...
