Corrupted colonic crypt fission in carcinogen-treated rats
BACKGROUND The colonic crypts in rats reproduce themselves by symmetric fission at the base of the crypts, and proceeding upwards, generate two separate identical crypts. Recently we reported corrupted colonic crypt fission (CCCF) in rats with colonic carcinoma. Here we investigated whether CCCF also occurred in the colonic mucosa without carcinoma in carcinogen-treated rats. METHODS Filed Sw...
متن کاملButyrate delivered by butyrylated starch increases distal colonic epithelial apoptosis in carcinogen-treated rats
Animal studies show that increasing large bowel butyrate concentration through ingestion of butyrylated or resistant starches opposes carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis, which is consistent with population data linking greater fiber consumption with lowered colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Butyrate has been shown to regulate the apoptotic response to DNA damage. This study examined the impact of inc...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of colonic crypt structure and coordinated response to carcinogen exposure incorporating missing crypts.
This paper is concerned with modeling the architecture of colonic crypts and the implications of this modeling for understanding possible coordinated response of carcinogen-induced DNA damage between various regions of the colon. The methods we develop to address these two issues are applied to a particular important example in colon carcinogenesis. We cast the problem as an unusual and not pre...
متن کاملInactivating cholecystokinin-2 receptor inhibits progastrin-dependent colonic crypt fission, proliferation, and colorectal cancer in mice.
Hyperproliferation of the colonic epithelium, leading to expansion of colonic crypt progenitors, is a recognized risk factor for colorectal cancer. Overexpression of progastrin, a nonamidated and incompletely processed product of the gastrin gene, has been shown to induce colonic hyperproliferation and promote colorectal cancer in mice, but the mechanism of pathogenesis has not been defined. Ch...
متن کاملEnzyme-altered foci in colons of carcinogen-treated rats.
The distal colon and rectum from male F344 rats treated with 15 mg/kg 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.2HCl (DMH) for 20 weeks were analyzed for focal areas of enzyme alteration. Tissues were embedded in methacrylate at 4 degrees C and cut in 2- to 4-micron serial sections. In DMH-treated rats, 8.8 +/- 2.4 foci/cm2 of examined mucosa were observed at 20 weeks and 7.7 +/- 1.1 foci/cm2 at 31 to 52 weeks, co...
