Chemical carcinogenesis by 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene in balb/c mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients and methods The carcinogen DMBA was administered by gavage to 70 Balb/c female mice, diluted in corn oil, at hebdomadary doses of 1 mg per animal for 1, 3, 6 or 9 weeks. Others 20 animals were used in the control group, who received only corn oil administration. Animals were weighed and monitored weekly until death, remaining animals were euthanized at age of 53 weeks. At necropsy, representative fragments of tumors were harvested, routinely processed for microscopy and classified agreeing with International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Comparison of two-stage epidermal carcinogenesis initiated by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in newborn and adult SENCAR and BALB/c mice.
In order to define factors which determine susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis, mice sensitive (SENCAR) and resistant (BALB/c) to epidermal carcinogenesis were studied under several treatment conditions for sensitivity to initiation by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and promotion by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. In newborns of both strains, ...
متن کاملInfluence of diet and calorie restriction on the initiation and promotion of skin carcinogenesis in the SENCAR mouse model.
Diets were restricted to 60% of the intake of the control mice by feeding less diet (total diet restriction, TDR) or by feeding fewer calories from fat and carbohydrate (calorie restriction, CR) during the initiation or promotion phases of skin tumorigenesis in female SENCAR mice. Skin cancer was initiated by topical treatment with 10 nmol of 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene in acetone and promoted ...

Rats fed 20% corn oil or lard showed increased 7,12-di methylbenzanthracene-induced mammary tumorigenesis and slightly increased growth rate compared to rats fed 5% fat; 20% corn oil accelerated sexual maturation, but 20% lard did not. In contrast,diets high in beef fat (30%) depressedtumor Induction by 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene or N-fluorenyla cetamide compared to a diet containing 15% veget...
متن کاملSensitivity to two-stage carcinogenesis of SENCAR mouse skin grafted to nude mice.
SENCAR mice are extremely susceptible to two-stage skin carcinogenesis, while BALB/c mice are relatively resistant. Skin grafts to BALB/c nude mice were performed with full-thickness skin from SENCAR and BALB/c donors, and tumor formation was monitored in grafted skin, surrounding host skin, and intact SENCAR, BALB/c and nude mice. Initiation was accomplished by exposure to 20 micrograms dimeth...
