(total dose, 8 mg/rat) and then intrarectal doses of sodium cholate or sodium chenodeoxycholate (20 mg/rat/dose) three times a week for 46 weeks; other groups received MNNG for 2 weeks and vehicle thereafter for 46 weeks or bile acids alone for 48 weeks. Sodium cholate or sodium chenodeoxycholate increased MNNG-induced adenocarcinomas and adenomas in germ-free rats, whereas in conven tional rats these bile acids induced more adenomas. Con ventional rats treated with MNNG + sodium cholate or MNNG + sodium chenodeoxycholate had a higher inci dence (p < 0.05) of colon tumors than did those given MNNG alone; germ-free rats that received MNNG + sodium cholate or MNNG + sodium chenodeoxycholate had a higher but not significant (p > 0.05) frequency of colon tumors than did those given MNNG alone. No tumors were detected in the colons of germ-free and conventional rats given sodium cholate or sodium chenodeoxycholate alone. It is concluded that sodium cholate or sodium chenodeoxy cholate had a promoting effect in colon carcinogenesis in rats evoked by MNNG.

SUMMARY The promoting effect of sodium cholate or sodium cheno-deoxycholate on colon carcinogenesis was studied in fe male F344 germ-free and conventional rats. Both germ-free and conventional rats received intrarectal instillations of N-methyl-A/'-nitro-/V-nitrosoguanid¡ne (MNNG) for 2 weeks (total dose, 8 mg/rat) and then intrarectal doses of sodium cholate or sodium chenodeoxycholate (20 mg...

deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid, and cholesterol metab olites (10, 28, 26). Patients with colon cancer or nonhereditary adenomatous polyps excrete high levels of fecal secondary bile acids and cholesterol metabolites compared to healthy controls (12, 29). Such a relationship is further supported by experimental studies in animal models (3, 20—22,24). Recently, we have tested both primar...

متن کاملEffects of diet on the fecal excretion and bacterial modification of acidic and neutral steroids, and implications for colon carcinogenesis.
Diet-induced changes in the excretion and fecal concentration of bile acids have been associated with enhancement or reduction of chemically initiated colon carcinogenesis in experimental animals. Dietary lipid increases the excretion and fecal concentration of bile acids. Certain types of dietary fiber such as pectin and lignin also increase fecal sterol output. However, the predominant effect...
متن کاملBile acids, but not neutral sterols, are tumor promoters in the colon in man and in rodents.
Analysis of the etiologic factors and relevant mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis leads to a classification of agents involved in the carcinogenic process as genotoxic or epigenetic. Their mode of action is distinct, especially with regard to dose-response effects and reversibility. The genotoxic carcinogens for colon cancer are unknown, but mutagenic components found in fried beef and fish ...
