Prevention and Treatment of Primary Intestinal Tumors in Rats by Piroxicam1

چکیده
Over 90% of methylazoxymethanol acetate-treated male Lobund Sprague-Dawley rats developed intestinal tumors within 20 weeks; the incidence and numbers of tumors remained basically the same at 40 weeks. However, at week 40 the numbers of large tumors (>0.5 cm in diameter) were increased. At week 40, tumors in methylazoxymethanol acetate-inoculated rats that had been treated with piroxicam (~2.3 mg/ day) from week 1 or from week 20 (after tumors had developed) were significantly reduced in numbers, but many large tumors persisted. Rats treated with piroxicam up to 40 weeks carried 0.6 tumor/rat compared with 2.7 tumors/rat among untreated controls (P < 0.0001). Rats at week 20 had developed 2.8 tumors/rat and rats treated with piroxicam from week 20 to week 40 carried 1.4 tumors/rat (P < 0.007). Most of the tumors in the piroxicam-treated rats showed evidence of histolÃ3gica!

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are unique subpopulations that have the capacity to drive malignant progression with renewal abilities. Recently the role of some of CSCs in gastric adenocarcinoma has been studied. This study was performed in order to evaluate CD44 and CD133 expressions by immunohistochemistry in 95 primary gastric adenocarcinoma and their relation to clinical and pathological paramete...
