GST-P Foci and Ornithine Decarboxylase after Cessation of Alcohol Administration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Japan, preventive measures for hepatocellular carcinoma are urgently required, because the prevalence of this neoplasm and associated mortality have been increasing (Takada et al., 1994). It is clear that most non-viral cases of hepatocellular carcinoma arise with a background of alcoholic liver cirrhosis and that the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is higher in heavy drinkers than in non-drinkers, even in those with viral liver cirrhosis RESEARCH COMMUNICATION

Cessation of Long-term Alcohol Administration and Two-day Cycling of Exposure Respectively Promote and Inhibit Hepatocarcinogenesis in Rats.
The effects of different patterns of alcohol administration on hepatocarcinogenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in male Wistar rats were assessed using a modified Ito's medium-term bioassay system. Carcinogenic potential was scored by comparing numbers and areas of glutathione S transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive foci. The activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-lim...
متن کاملChemoprevention of aflatoxin B1-induced carcinogenesis by indole-3-carbinol in rat liver--predicting the outcome using early biomarkers.
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) was examined for its ability to inhibit aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in male Fischer rats when administered either before or after the carcinogen. After 13 weeks, animals pretreated with I3C (0.5% in the diet) for 2 weeks prior to administration of AFB1 and with continuing treatment during exposure to the carcinogen were protected from development of ...
متن کاملLack of inhibitory effects of the Ju-myo protein on development of glutathione S-transferase placental form-positive foci in the male F344 rat liver.
The effects of the 77 kDa Ju-myo protein, isolated from Drosophila melanogaster, on the development of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci in the male F344 rat liver were evaluated using a medium-term bioassay system. No modifying potential was evident in terms of the numbers or areas of GST-P positive foci. Ju-myo protein did not exert any influence on cell prolifera...
متن کاملEffects of cessation of alcohol exposure on rat hepatocarcinogenesis.
Cessation of long-term alcohol exposure is reported to enhance rat hepatocarcinogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to assess this possibility using glutathione-S transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci as end point lesions. All rats were treated with a single i.p. injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (200 mg/kg body weight) and then given a MF pellet diet for 2 weeks. There...
متن کاملCitrus auraptene inhibits chemically induced colonic aberrant crypt foci in male F344 rats.
The modifying effect of dietary administration of auraptene isolated from the peel of citrus fruit (Citrus natsudaidai Hayata) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was investigated in rats. Male F344 rats were given s.c. injections of AOM (15 mg/kg body wt) once a week for 3 weeks to induce ACF. They also received diets containing 100 or 500 p.p.m. ...
