Histopathological evaluation of the inhibition of rat bladder carcinogenesis by 13-cis-retinoic acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An objective system for histopathological and statistical evaluation of rat bladder lesions induced by the carcinogen, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, is described. This system has been used to measure the inhibitory effects of 13-cis-retinoic acid on the development of bladder cancer in female Wistar/Lewis rats. 13-cis-Retinoic acid caused significant inhibition of development of both preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in bladder epithelium.

Effect of delay in administration of 13-cis-retinoic acid on the inhibition of urinary bladder carcinogenesis in the rat.
The effect of a delay in starting 13-cis-retinoic acid treatment on the inhibition of urinary bladder carcinoma induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine was studied in male Fischer 344 rats. Animals received a total p.o. dose of either 1200, 1800 or 2400 mg N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine over a period of six weeks. At either one, five, and nine weeks after the last N-butyl-N-(4-h...
متن کامل9-cis-Retinoic Acid and 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D3 Improve the Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells into Oligodendrocytes through the Inhibition of the Notch and Wnt Signaling Pathways
Background: Differentiating oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into oligodendrocytes could be improved by inhibiting signaling pathways such as Wnt and Notch. 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25[OH]2D3) can ameliorate oligodendrogenesis. We investigated whether they could increase oligodendrogenesis by inhibiting the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways.Methods: Co...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid on urinary bladder carcinogenesis induced in C57BL/6 mice by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine.
The effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid on the induction of urinary bladder carcinoma by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (OH-BBN) was studied in male C57BL/6 mice. Animals received a total dose of either 90 or 140 mg of OH-BBN via gastric intubations of 7.5 or 10.0 mg of OH-BBN 2 times each week for 6 or 7 weeks, respectively. Seven days after the last OH-BBN intubation, animals were fed labor...

The effect of the time and duration of retinoid treatment on the inhibition of Stage II tumor promotion by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was studied in CD-1 mice. All mice were initiated with 400 nmol of benzo(a)pyrene and received Stage I tumor promotion (3.2 nmol of TPA twice weekly for 2 wk). Animals were then randomized into groups which received 13-cis-retinoic acid during ear...

A chemoprevention study was conducted to evaluate the activity of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) as an inhibitor of prostate carcinogenesis in male Wistar-Unilever (HsdCpb:Wu) rats. After pretreatment with a sequential regimen of cyproterone acetate (50 mg/kg/day for 21 days) and testosterone propionate (100 mg/kg/day for 3 days), groups of 40 rats received a single i.v. injection of N-methyl-N...
