Inhibition of Alcohol‐Associated Colonic Hyperregeneration by α‐Tocopherol in the Rat

Abstract: Alcohol-associated hyperproliferation could be prevented, at least in part, by supplementation with alpha-tocopherol. This may support the hypothesis that free radicals are involved in the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated colorectal hyperproliferation.

“…Our results are in contrast to several reports regarding the protective effect of VE in other tissues of ethanol-treated animals, including prevention of ethanol-induced hyperregeneration of colon crypt cells in rats [37] and inhibition of a promotional effect of ethanol on chemically induced esophageal cancers with dietary VE supplementation [38]. This suggests that the effect of VE on cell proliferation may vary depending on the organ or cell type.…”

“…This induction may lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In a series of experiments in rodents, alcohol-induced hyperproliferation of the colorectal mucosa could be inhibited partly by the concomitant administration of vitamin E, which demonstrated that this inhibition is possibly due to a reduction of ROS by vitamin E application (Vincon et al, 2000). In conclusion, chronic alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer.…”

“…Indeed, the coadministration of vitamin E, a radical scavenger, diminished esophageal carcinogenesis in the rat model induced by nitrosamines (Eskelson et al, 1993). Most recently it was shown that the alcohol-associated colorectal hyperproliferation can be diminished by the coadministration of vitamin E (Vincon et al, 2000), underlining that besides AA, also reactive oxygen species may be involved in changes of cell turnover in the colorectal mucosa.…”
