Vitamin E is a complete tumor promoter in mouse skin

Carcinogenesis
R E Mitchel, R McCann

Abstract

The dorsal skins of 6-8 week old female SENCAR mice were initiated with a single application of 10 nmol of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and subsequently promoted twice/week with topical applications of vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol, 80 mumol/treatment). Vitamin E from two separate commercial suppliers was tested. For comparison, a group of similar mice, also initiated with DMBA, was promoted twice/week with the known tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13- acetate (TPA, 2 micrograms/treatment). Papillomas appeared 39 and 50 days respectively after promotion began with vitamin E from the two different sources, as compared with 32 days in the group receiving TPA promoted. Hundred per cent of TPA-promoted animals and 92-96% of the vitamin E-promoted mice developed tumors. A maximum of 15 papillomas/animal appeared in the TPA-promoted mice. The two vitamin E preparations were somewhat less effective than TPA and showed different relative potencies, producing about seven and 12 papillomas per animal respectively. Unlike TPA, vitamin E showed very little ability to produce an inflammatory response in skin. To test whether initiated cells that did not appear as papillomas after vitamin E promotion were still viable, and...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.
