چکیده

This study was designed to explore further the relationship between cell proliferation and the induction of early putative preneoplastic lesions by carcinogens. Rats were given a non-necrogenic dose of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine 24 hr before being subjected to partial hepatectomy. Beginning 4 hr later, hydrocortisone was injected 10 times at 4-hr intervals to delay progression through the cell cycle, including inhibition of DNA synthesis by at least 85% for about 40 hr. At the appropriate time thereafter, the putative preneoplastic hepatocytes were selectively stimulated to grow in vivo into gamma-glutamyltransferase-positive focal lesions. Animals given hydrocortisone showed a large decrease (71%) in the number of gamma-glutamyltransferase-positive foci. In contrast, when hydrocortisone was given at 6 days after partial hepatectomy, no inhibition in the induction of hepatic lesions was observed. In the next experiments, rats were treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine and were subjected to partial hepatectomy at 12, 24, or 48 hr or 1 week thereafter. A significant number of gamma-glutamyltransferase-positive foci was found when partial hepatectomy was performed at 12 or 24 hr but far fewer were found when the operative partial hepatectomy was delayed to 48 hr or 1 week later. Similarly, in long-term experiments, six of 14 animals developed primary hepatocellular carcinoma 13 months after the time of injection of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine when partial hepatectomy was performed at 12 hr, while none of the animals developed liver cancer when the operation was performed at 48 hr. These results imply that the majority of biochemical lesions induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine that are relevant to the induction of liver preneoplasia and neoplasia are short-lived and that their persistence is associated with some cellular activity closely related to the cell cycle.

Effects of Delays in the Cell Cycle on the Induction of Preneoplastic and Neoplastic Lesions in Rat Liver by 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine1

recently, it has been shown that cell proliferation is essential for the induction of very early focal lesions in the liver during initiation (2, 3, 35, 38, 39). However, the precise role of cell proliferation in the initiation process is not clear. A common hypothesis visualizes its predominant role as stimulating DNA replication which somehow †̃ †̃fixes' †̃ permanently one or more biochemi...

Our study was performed to sequentially analyze the expression of the intestinal mucin MUC2 and of the gastric mucin MUC5AC as indicators during progression of preneoplastic biomarkers in rat colon. F344 rats were sacrificed 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 36 weeks after injection of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 200 mg/kg, i.p.). The expression of MUC2 and of MUC5AC was studied by immunohistochemistry in pr...

Effects of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine treatment and feeding regimen on rat colonic epithelial cell proliferation.

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH) induces preneoplasia in rat colonic epithelium and that this DMH-altered epithelium will respond differently to various nutritional challenges in comparison to normal colonic epithelium. Preneoplasia was arbitrarily defined as an altered and irreversible state of colonic epithelial cell prolif...

The Protective Effect of Cell Wall and Cytoplasmic Fraction of Selenium Enriched Yeast on 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine-induced Damage in Liver

Background: 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) enhances lipid peroxidation rate by tumor mitochondria than normal tissue counterpart and causes many disorders in antioxidant system in liver. It also increases the level of enzymes that metabolize toxin in liver and colon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of liver and its enzymes after DMH injection and evaluate protective effect of...

Inhibitory effects of crude alpha-mangostin, a xanthone derivative, on two different categories of colon preneoplastic lesions induced by 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine in the rat.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether crude alpha-mangostin (a major xanthone derivative in mangosteen pericarp (Garcinia mangostana)) has short-term chemopreventive effects on putative preneoplastic lesions involved in rat colon carcinogenesis. The crude preparation was obtained by simple recrystallization of an ethylacetate extract of mangosteen pericarps. A total of 33 five-week-o...
