چکیده

Since both sodium L-ascorbate (Na-AsA) and sodium saccharin (Na-Sac) promote two-stage bladder carcinogenesis in rats, synergism of the two chemicals was investigated with special reference to the role of urinary pH and Na+ concentration. Male F344 rats were given 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine in the drinking water for 4 wk and then treated with basal diet containing 5% Na-Sac, 5% Na-AsA, 5% Na-Sac plus 5% Na-AsA, 5% L-ascorbic acid (AsA), 5% Na-Sac plus 5% AsA, or no added chemical for 32 wk. Treatment with Na-Sac or Na-AsA alone significantly increased the induction of neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the bladder. Na-Sac plus Na-AsA also induced these bladder lesions significantly when compared with the controls, and the number of lesions was greater than the sum of the lesions in the groups treated with Na-Sac alone or Na-AsA alone. In contrast, the induction of carcinomas and papillomas in rats treated with Na-Sac plus AsA was not significantly different from the controls. In addition Na-Sac plus Na-AsA produced an elevation of urinary pH and Na+ concentrations, although the increases were not different from those in rats fed Na-Sac or Na-AsA alone. Na-Sac plus AsA, however, did not cause elevation of urinary pH, although it increased urinary Na+ concentration. Thus, the bladder carcinogenesis promotion by Na-Sac was synergized by Na-AsA and inhibited by AsA. This modulation was associated with changes of urinary pH and Na+ concentration.

Promoting Effects of Sodium L-Ascorbate on Two-Stage Urinary Bladder Carcinogenesis in Rats1

The promoting effect of sodium L-ascorbate on two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis in F344 rats initiated with A/-butylA/-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine at levels of 0.01 and 0.05% in drinking water was studied. Administration of 5.0% but not of 1.0% sodium L-ascorbate in the diet significantly increased the incidence and number of preneoplastic lesions, papillary or nodular hyperplasia, papil...

Comparative bladder tumor promoting activity of sodium saccharin, sodium ascorbate, related acids, and calcium salts in rats.

Sodium saccharin and sodium ascorbate are known to promote urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats following initiation with N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide (FANFT) or N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine. Sodium salts of other organic acids have also been shown to be bladder tumor promoters. In addition, these substances increase urothelial proliferation in short term assays in r...

Roles of urinary sodium ion concentration and pH in promotion by ascorbic acid of urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats.

Since the sodium salt of ascorbic acid (AA) promoted two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats, whereas AA itself did not, the roles of the urinary sodium ion concentration and pH on urinary bladder carcinogenesis were investigated. Male F344 rats were given 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine in their drinking water for 4 weeks and then treated with basal diet containing 5% AA p...

Influences of strain and diet on the promoting effects of sodium L-ascorbate in two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats.

The influences of strain and diet on the promoting effects of sodium L-ascorbate (SA) on two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 and Lewis rats. Two kinds of commercial basal diets, Oriental MF and Clea CA-1, were used. Rats were given 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine in their drinking water for 4 weeks and then basal diet with 5% SA or without SA for 3...
