Abstract

We have previously reported that an antioxidant, auraptene (AUR), isolated from citrus fruit effectively inhibits chemically induced carcinogenesis in digestive tracts, such as the oral cavity, esophagus and large bowel. In this study, we investigated the modifying effects of dietary supplementation with AUR on N,N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-initiated hepatocarcinogenesis in male F344 rats in two different experiments to determine whether the compound exerts a cancer-chemopreventive action in other organs. In the first experiment, animals were fed diets containing AUR at dose levels of 100 and 500 ppm for 7 weeks 1 week before, during, and 1 week after the start of liver carcinogenesis induced by DEN (40 ppm in drinking water for 5 weeks) to predict the modulatory effect on hepatocarcinogenesis. After 7 weeks, the numbers of hepatocellular enzyme-altered foci (EAF; cm(2)) which stained positive for the placental form of glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha were determined on immunohistochemically stained sections. In the second experiment conducted to confirm the findings, animals subjected to DEN treatment were fed AUR-containing diets (100 and 500 ppm) during either the initiation stage (...Continue Reading

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer and frequently occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Here is the latest research.

Adenoma, Liver Cell

Liver Cell Adenoma or hepatic adenoma is a rare benign tumor. It is associated with birth control use or pregnancy. Discover the latest research on Liver Cell Adenoma here.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
