Piroxicam is an ineffective inhibitor of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine-induced tumorigenesis in the rat esophagus.
Epidemiological studies indicate an association between the frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and decreased risk for esophageal cancer. These studies suggest that limiting excess prostaglandin production, via inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated arachidonic acid metabolism, may be an important strategy for the prevention of this type of malignancy. N-Nitrosomethylbenzy...
متن کاملChemopreventive effects of a selective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor on carcinogen-induced rat esophageal tumorigenesis.
The inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) generates a high concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in tissues. Increased NO production is associated with many disorders including esophageal cancer. Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated an association between increased iNOS expression and the development of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)-induced tumors in the rat esophagus. On the basis...
متن کاملSuppression of Oxidative Stress and NFκB/MAPK Signaling by Lyophilized Black Raspberries for Esophageal Cancer Prevention in Rats
Research in the laboratory has shown that lyophilized black raspberries (BRB) significantly inhibit N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)-induced esophageal squamous cell carcinogenesis in rats. The objective of the present study is to characterize the underlying mechanism(s) of anti-cancer action of BRB in this preclinical animal model focusing on oxidative stress and its related oncogenic signali...
متن کاملp53 deficiency accelerates induction and progression of esophageal and forestomach tumors in zinc-deficient mice.
The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a pivotal role in preventing uncontrolled cellular proliferation. By contrast, zinc deprivation enhances esophageal cell proliferation and the induction of esophageal tumors in rodents by N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA). We investigated whether p53 deficiency rendered zinc-deficient (ZD) mice more susceptible to NMBA-induced esophageal/forestomach carcin...
متن کاملEffects of a black raspberry diet on gene expression in the rat esophagus.
A diet containing 5% freeze-dried black raspberries (BRB) markedly inhibits esophageal cancer in rats treated with the carcinogen, N-Nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA). We previously identified esophageal genes that become dysregulated after short-term treatment of rats with NMBA and determined which genes are maintained at near-normal levels of expression if the animals were fed 5% BRB prior to a...
