Chronic caloric restriction has been shown to inhibit mammary tumor promotion in the 7,12-dimethyl-benz[a]anthracene (DMBA) rat mammary tumor model. The objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effects of chronic caloric cycling (yo-yo dieting) on mammary tumor promotion by high fat diets
We showed previously that CYP1B1-null mice developed 10 times less lymphomas than wild-type mice after receiving 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). In this study a 10-fold lower dose was applied to differentiate between toxicity induced lymphomas (200 micro g/mouse/day) and tumor initiation (20
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly or indirectly involves in multistage process of carcinogenesis. Antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Operculina turpethum stems (MEOT) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced breast cancer was investigated in female Sprague-Dawley rats.
Dietary lipids have a role in the aetiology of breast cancer. We have reported earlier that a high corn oil diet downregulates H19 and vitamin D3 upregulated protein 1 (VDUP1) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in rat dimethylbenz (alpha) anthracene-induced mammary adenocarcinomas in comparison with
Because inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6) and inositol (Ins), contained in plants and most mammalian cells, have been demonstrated to have anti-cancer and anti-cell proliferative action in several experimental models of carcinogenesis we have examined the effect of InsP6 +/- Ins on DMBA-induced rat
Tributyrin, a short-chain triglyceride oil used as a food additive, has been reported to be a potential preventive agent against colon cancer. The purpose of this study was to develop tributyrin delivery systems based on food-grade oil-in-water emulsions that could potentially be incorporated into
The effects of pure gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; C18:3, n-6) and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA; C20:3, n-6) were investigated in 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene (DMBA) (10 mg/rat)-induced mammary tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats. 0.15 g of GLA, DGLA, or corn oil (CO) were administered (two times
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are reported to alter membrane properties when incorporated into membrane phospholipids. We report that dietary omega-3 fatty acids, incorporated into tumor cell membranes, alter tumor recognition and cytolysis by the immune system. Mice were fed diets rich
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production and macrophage (MO) activation state. Rats were fed diets containing 12.5% linseed oil (LO) or corn oil (CO) that are high in n-3 and n-6 fatty acids
Our earlier work has shown a selective promotional effect on the genesis of mammary carcinomas bearing a wild-type, but not mutant, Ha-ras codon 12 in a 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced carcinogenesis model by high-fat diets (Nutr Cancer 23, 283-290, 1995). To test the hypothesis that activation
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, and dietary lipids are important environmental factors influencing its etiology. In this work we present data in relation to the transcriptional effects of two high-fat diets, one high in corn oil (HCO) and one high in extra-virgin
The modulatory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on urinary tract tumorigenesis of 275 Wistar rats were evaluated by treating animals with the tumorigenic agent melamine. Rats were fed with formulae containing 6% of 4 varieties of fats: fish oil enriched in n-3 PUFA (FO), corn oil
High fat consumption has been implicated as a risk factor for breast cancer. Experimental mammary carcinogenesis studies have demonstrated that the effect of high fat consumption is mainly exerted on the postinitiation stage of the disease process. We report data that have recalled in the
Mouse liver tumors frequently harbor mutations in Ha-ras, B-raf, or Ctnnb1 (encoding beta-catenin). We conducted a proteome analysis with protein extracts from normal mouse liver and from liver tumors which were induced by a single injection of N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) as initiator followed by
Curcumin has therapeutic potential in preventing several types of cancer, including colon, liver, prostate, and breast. The goal of this study was to evaluate the chemopreventive activity of systemically administered curcumin on oral carcinogenesis induced by 4-nitroquinolone-1-oxide (4-NQO). A
