Chemoprevention of Azoxymethane-induced Colonic Carcinogenesis in Balb/c mice Using a Modified Pectin Alginate Probiotic.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Increased intake of probiotic dietary fibre reduces colonic cancer risk. Modified citrus pectin (MCP) requires optimal bioactivity to inhibit galectin-3 (GAL-3) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This study evaluated the preventative effect of modified pectin alginate (MCPA) probiotic microbeads on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic carcinogenesis in Balb/c mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Optimization of AOM dose duration: 10-15 mg/kg was administered for 2-4 weeks. The optimal AOM dose was initiated prior to intake of MCPA, alginate probiotic (AP) microbeads and MCP in Balb/c mice for 16 weeks; samples were analyzed for colonic histopathology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AOM at 15 mg/kg for 4 weeks induced optimal GAL-3 and VEGF immunostaining. Furthermore, MCPA treatment reduced GAL-3 expression in the colon of AOM-treated mice compared to MCP. CONCLUSION MCPA probiotic microbeads increase bioactivity and chemopreventative effect against pre-cancerous colonic lesions and adenocarcinoma through inhibition of GAL-3 and VEGF in the Balb/c mouse model of colonic carcinogenesis.

American ginseng attenuates azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate-induced colon carcinogenesis in mice
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death, and inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for this malignancy. We previously reported colon cancer chemoprevention potential using American ginseng (AG) in a xenograft mice model. However, the nude mouse model is not a gut-specific colon carcinogenesis animal model. METHODS In this study, an experimental colitis an...
متن کاملEffect of Chemopreventive Agents on Intermediate Biomarkers during Different Stages of Azoxymethane-induced Colon Carcinogenesis1
Chemoprevention of colon cancer is emerging as an alternative to therapy with a broad potential for reducing cancer incidence in defined high-risk groups and the general population. Besides several chemopreventive agents in use and under investigation, D,L-a-difluorOmethylOrnithine (DFMO) and piroxicam have been shown to effectively inhibit colon carcinogenesis in rodents. A variety of prolifer...
متن کاملIncrease in dietary protein content exacerbates colonic inflammation and tumorigenesis in azoxymethane-induced mouse colon carcinogenesis
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been attributed to higher intake of fat and protein. However, reports on the relationship between protein intake and CRC are inconsistent, possibly due to the complexity of diet composition. In this study, we addressed a question whether alteration of protein intake is independently associated with colonic inflammation and colon ...

ownloade pose: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-associated deaths, which suggests ore effort is needed to prevent/control this disease. Herein, for the first time, we investigate the efficacy of silibinin against azoxymethane-induced colon tumorigenesis in A/J mice. erimental Design: Five-week-old male mice were gavaged with vehicle or silibinin (250 and g/kg) for 25 week...
متن کاملChemoprevention of colonic aberrant crypt foci by an inducible nitric oxide synthase-selective inhibitor.
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is overexpressed in colonic tumors of humans and also in rats treated with a colon carcinogen. iNOS appear to regulate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and production of proinflammatory prostaglandins, which are known to play a key role in colon tumor development. Experiments were designed to study the inhibitory effects of S,S'-1,4-phenylene-bis(1,2-et...
