Mehl, Kristen A., J. Mark Davis, Julie M. Clements, Franklin G. Berger, Maria M. Pena, and James A. Carson. Decreased intestinal polyp multiplicity is related to exercise mode and gender in Apc mice. J Appl Physiol 98: 2219 –2225, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00975.2004.—Moderate-intensity treadmill running can alter male Apc mouse polyp formation. This purpose of this study was to examine whether exercise mode differentially affects Apc mouse intestinal polyp development in male and female mice. Male and female Apc mice were randomly assigned to control, treadmill (18 m/min; 60 min/day; 6 days/wk), or voluntary wheel running (24-h access) groups. Nine weeks of training decreased total intestinal polyps by 29% in male treadmill runners (66 9; P 0.038) compared with male controls (93 7). The number of large polyps ( 1-mm diameter) were also reduced by 38% in male treadmill runners (49 6; P 0.005) compared with male controls (79 6). Treadmill running in female Apc mice and wheel running in both genders did not affect polyp number or size. Spleen weight decreased in male treadmill runners (91 9 mg; P 0.011) and wheel runners (75 6 mg; P 0.004) compared with controls (141 13 mg). Plasma IL-6 was reduced by 96% in male treadmill runners (1.2 0.6 pg/ml) and 78% in male wheel runners (6.6 3.3 pg/ml) compared with control mice (27.9 2.8 pg/ml; P 0.05). Female mice responded similarly with an 86% decrease in plasma IL-6 with treadmill running (3.2 1.2 pg/ml) and 90% decrease with wheel running (2.9 2.0 pg/ml) compared with control mice (21.1 5.3 pg/ml; P 0.05). The crypt depth-to-villus height ratio in the intestine, an indirect marker of intestinal inflammation, decreased by 21 (P 0.024) and 24% (P 0.029), respectively, in male and female treadmill runners but not wheel runners. Physical activity-induced attenuation of intestinal polyp number and size is dependent on exercise mode and differs between genders. The modulation of systemic and intestinal inflammation may also depend on exercise mode.

Moderate-intensity treadmill running can alter male Apc(Min/+) mouse polyp formation. This purpose of this study was to examine whether exercise mode differentially affects Apc(Min/+) mouse intestinal polyp development in male and female mice.

متن کاملEffect of exercise on biological pathways in ApcMin/+ mouse intestinal polyps.
Many epidemiological studies have demonstrated that level of exercise is associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk. Treadmill training can decrease Apc(Min/+) mouse intestinal polyp number and size, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding the molecular changes in the tumor following exercise training may provide insight on the mechanism by which exercise decreases Apc(Min/+) mouse...
متن کاملIdentification of the modifier of Min 2 (Mom2) locus, a new mutation that influences Apc-induced intestinal neoplasia.
Min (Multiple intestinal neoplasia) mice carry a dominant mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene and develop multiple adenomas throughout their intestinal tract (Moser et al. 1990; Su et al 1992). Polyp multiplicity in Min mice is greatly influenced by genetic background. A modifier locus, Mom1 (Modifier of Min 1), was identified and localized to distal mouse chromosome 4 (Moser ...
متن کاملThe CAST/Ei strain confers significant protection against Apc(Min) intestinal polyps, independent of the resistant modifier of Min 1 (Mom1) locus.
Intestinal adenoma development in Apc(Min) mice is influenced by genetic background. We generated a congenic line between the CAST and B6 inbred strains to study the effects of a resistant CAST background in the absence of a major modifier locus, Modifier of Min 1 (Mom1(R)). Progeny from a CAST.B6 Mom1(R/S) x B6 Apc(Min/+) intercross were 110 or 200 days of age and screened for intestinal polyp...
متن کاملThe threshold level of adenomatous polyposis coli protein for mouse intestinal tumorigenesis.
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, whose mutations are responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis, is a major negative controller of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. To investigate the dose-dependent effects of APC protein in suppressing intestinal tumorigenesis, we constructed mutant mice carrying hypomorphic Apc alleles Apc(neoR) and Apc(neoF) whose expression levels were reduced to ...
