Metformin inhibits early stage diethylnitrosamine‑induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats.
Antitumor effects of metformin have recently emerged despite its original use for type II diabetes. In the present study, the effects of metformin on the development and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were investigated using the diethylnitrosamine (DEN)‑induced rat model of HCC. Tumor foci were characterized by gross examination and by histopathological characteristics, including ...
متن کاملPreventive Effect of Geraniol on Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatocarcinogenesis in Rats
BACKGROUND Geraniol is a plant-derived phytochemical possessing anti-cancer action. The anti-carcinogenic effect of geraniol was investigated in the diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenic rat model. METHODS Male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with 300 μL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (G1; n = 4) or DEN (100 mg/kg body weight) dissolved in PBS (G2; n = 8) every 2...
متن کاملCurcumin-containing diet inhibits diethylnitrosamine-induced murine hepatocarcinogenesis.
Curcumin has been widely used as a spice and coloring agent in foods. Recently, curcumin was found to possess chemopreventive effects against skin cancer, forestomach cancer, colon cancer and oral cancer in mice. Clinical trials of curcumin for prevention of human cancers are currently ongoing. In this study, we examine the chemopreventive effect of curcumin on murine hepatocarcinogenesis. C3H/...
متن کاملRole of CYP2E1 in diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in vivo.
CYP2E1 metabolizes many low-molecular weight toxins and carcinogens. Some in vitro experiments suggest that CYP2E1 may be involved in the metabolic activation of diethylnitrosamine. However, there has been no direct evidence demonstrating a role for CYP2E1 in diethylnitrosamine-mediated carcinogenesis in vivo. To clarify this, we carried out a diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis exp...
متن کاملMelatonin Activates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Apoptosis in Rats with Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatocarcinogenesis
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal human cancers worldwide because of its high incidence, its metastatic potential and the low efficacy of conventional treatment. Inactivation of apoptosis is implicated in tumour progression and chemotherapy resistance, and has been linked to the presence of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Melatonin, the main product of the pineal gland, exe...
