Regression of methyl bromide-induced forestomach lesions in the rat

Abstract

There is continuing concern about the role of irritation in cancer development. Methyl bromide, a widely used fumigant and known irritant reported to cause forestomach carcinomas in rats, was dissolved in peanut oil and given by gavage at 50 mg/kg body wt to Wistar rats five times per week for 13 to 25 weeks. Starting at Week 13, methyl bromide administration was discontinued for half of the methyl bromide-treated rats (stop treatment group). After that, rats from both the continuous treatment and stop treatment groups were terminated at 4-week intervals to follow the progression of the stomach lesions. Forestomach lesions were not found in control rats receiving peanut oil and killed at 13 or 25 weeks. At 13 weeks the forestomachs from rats receiving methyl bromide were contracted and adherent to the liver and spleen. Inflammation, acanthosis, fibrosis, and a high incidence of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia were found microscopically in treated animals. At 25 weeks, 100% of the rats receiving methyl bromide continuously had hyperplastic lesions of the forestomach which were more severe than those at 13 weeks. Evidence of malignancy was seen in one rat and the lesion was considered a very early carcinoma. In the stop treatme...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
