Abstract

To study the effects of carotenoids on the initiation of liver carcinogenesis by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), male weanling rats were fed beta-carotene, beta-apo-8'-carotenal, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin or lycopene (300 mg/kg diet), or an excess of vitamin A (21000 RE/kg diet), or were injected i.p. with 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) (6 x 20 mg/kg body wt) before and during i.p. treatment with AFB1 (2 x 1 mg/kg body wt). The rats were later submitted to 2-acetylaminofluorene treatment and partial hepatectomy, and placental glutathione S-transferase-positive liver foci were detected and quantified. The in vivo effects of carotenoids or of 3-MC on AFB1-induced liver DNA damage were evaluated using different endpoints: liver DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) induced by AFB1, and in vivo binding of [3H]AFB1 to liver DNA and plasma albumin. Finally, the modulation of AFB1 metabolism by carotenoids or by 3-MC was investigated in vitro by incubating [14C]AFB1 with liver microsomes from rats that had been fed with carotenoids or treated by 3-MC, and the metabolites formed by HPLC were analyzed. In contrast to lycopene or to an excess of vitamin A, both of which had no effect, beta-carotene, beta-apo-8'carotenal, astaxanthin and canthaxanthin, as we...Continue Reading
