Predictive value of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis as intermediate markers for colon tumorigenesis

Abstract: In order to determine the prognostic significance of proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis as intermediate markers for colon tumor development, these indices were measured during the promotion phase of tumorigenesis. Two hundred and sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided with one of two fats (corn oil and fish oil) and two fibers (pectin and cellulose) plus or minus the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) and killed at two time points (18 and 36 wk) in a 2x2x2x2 factorial design. In vivo cell prolifera… Show more

“…Calcium also reduces the number of guanine-to-adenine mutations in the K-ras gene in colorectal neoplasms of the rat (Llor et al, 1991). Calcium may increase the rate of apoptosis occurring in colonic epithelial cells which, itself, could normalize a possible discrepancy between the proliferation=apoptosis ratio in preneoplastic mucosa (Chang et al, 1997).…”

“…5,6 Several in vivo studies hypothesize that a high amount of x-6 PUFA, such as LA, might enhance colorectal carcinogenesis via stimulation of colonic epithelial cell proliferation. [7][8][9][10] Indeed, rats treated with AOM and fed a diet supplemented with LA developed more tumors than animals treated with AOM alone. 11 AOM is a potent carcinogen, which induces colorectal cancers at high incidence in rats and mice.…”
