Chemically induced skin carcinogenesis: Updates in experimental models (Review)
Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting humans worldwide, and its incidence is rapidly increasing. The study of skin carcinogenesis is of major interest for both scientific research and clinical practice and the use of in vivo systems may facilitate the investigation of early alterations in the skin and of the mechanisms involved, and may also lead to the development of nov...
متن کاملA review of experimental models in colorectal carcinogenesis
Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. A better understanding of the molecular and cellular changes that lead to the disease is necessary to develop early diagnosis and optimal treatment modalities. Rodent models are rapid, reproducible and exhibit an adenoma-carcinoma sequence similar to that found in humans. The objective of this manuscript is to r...
متن کاملTargeted expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase increases susceptibility to chemically induced skin carcinogenesis.
The bovine keratin 6 gene promoter was used to target expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) to epidermal keratinocytes in the hair follicle of transgenic mice. K6-SSAT transgenic mice appeared to be phenotypically normal and were indistinguishable from normal littermates until subjected to a two-stage tumorigenesis protocol. For such tumorigenesis studies, mice were bred...
متن کاملChemopreventive Intervention in Chemically-induced Carcinogenesis in Sub-saharan Africa
There is ample evidence that dietary factors can contribute to human cancer risk and as such many of the cancer common the sub-Saharan Africa including liver, colon, prostate and breast cancer have been related to dietary behaviors. In particular, hepatocellular carcinoma which is the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in the world constitute a major health problem especially in the develo...
متن کاملMetformin in chemically-induced mammary carcinogenesis in rats.
In this paper the chemopreventive effect of peroral antidiabetic metformin in mammary carcinogenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats was evaluated. Mammary carcinogenesis was induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (NMU) administered in two intraperitoneal doses each per 50 mg/kg b.w. between 43.-55. postnatal days. Metformin was administered in drinking water (at a concentration of 50 microg/ml and 50...
