Effects of beta-carotene supplementation on molecular markers of lung carcinogenesis in male smokers.
    Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2010, Volume: 3, Issue:6

    Two primary prevention trials unexpectedly showed adverse effects of supplemental beta-carotene on lung cancer incidence in cigarette smokers. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that might underlie these effects, we studied the immunohistochemical expression of cytochrome P450 1A1, 1A2, and 2E1, retinoic acid receptor beta, activated protein-1 elements, cyclin D1, and Ki67 in lung tumors and, when available, adjacent normal tissues obtained from incident cases in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. Archival lung tissue was available from 52 men randomized to receive 20 mg of beta-carotene per day and 30 men randomized to the placebo arm, all of whom were diagnosed with incident non-small-cell lung carcinoma during the course of the trial and subsequently underwent radical pulmonary resection. In normal-appearing bronchial epithelium, positive staining for cyclin D1 was observed in 23% of cases in the beta-carotene group and 0% of cases in the placebo group (based on only 3 of 13 versus 0 of 11 cases staining positively, however; P = 0.04), with no differences in expression noted in lung tumor tissue (P = 0.48). There were no statistically significant differences in Ki67 expression in normal or cancerous lung tissue between intervention groups, although a small increase in staining in tumors was noted among cases in the beta-carotene versus placebo group (88% versus 71% of cases stained positive, respectively; P = 0.13). Contrary to expectation, beta-carotene supplementation had no apparent effect on retinoic acid receptor-beta expression. These findings suggest that male smokers supplemented with beta-carotene may have had an increased risk of lung cancer due to aberrant cell growth, although our results are based on a relatively small number of cases and require confirmation in other completed trials of beta-carotene supplementation.

Bladder epithelial cell proliferation of rats induced by terephthalic acid-calculi.
    Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association, 2005, Volume: 43, Issue:2

    Urinary bladder hyperplasia associated with terephthalic acid (TPA) treatment was examined with concomitant use of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or hydrochlorothiazide to allow assessment of the relationship among bladder stones, epithelial hyperplasia, and corresponding cell cycle checkpoint gene expression in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat.. A total of 112 weanling male SD rats that divided between six groups were given basal diet (control), diets containing 5% TPA or in combination with either 4% sodium NaHCO3 or 0.02% hydrochlorothiazide. After 90-day feeding, bladder samples were collected for histopathological diagnoses, and immunohistochemical method was used to characterize the expression of p16Ink4a cyclin D1, CDK4, EGFr and cyclin E in relation to that of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).. In TPA treatment groups, bladder stone incidence was 40% (21/52) with 14 cases of proliferative bladder. In control and other groups, neither stone nor epithelial cell proliferation was diagnosed. PCNA-positive focal hyperplasic lesions involved all epithelial layers. Overexpressions of cyclin D1, CDK4, EGFr are found in the corresponding lesion. p16Ink4a nuclear staining reduced in proliferative bladders especially with a great quantity of stone. In addition, no positive expression was detected on cyclin E.. The present study provides a strong evidence of a link between induction of bladder hyperplasia, deregulation of the p16Ink4a-cyclin D1/CDK4 pathway, and abnormal EGFr mediated signal transduction pathway.

Inhibitory effects of 1,3-diaminopropane, an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor, on rat two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis initiated by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine.
    Carcinogenesis, 2000, Volume: 21, Issue:2

    Overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) has been shown to be characteristic of tumor development and progression in humans and experimental animals. Therefore, we have examined the effects of 1, 3-diaminopropane dihydrochloride (DAP), a potent inhibitor of ODC, on rat two-stage urinary bladder carcinogenesis initiated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN). In experiment 1 (36 weeks), 6-week-old F344 male rats were administered 0.05% BBN in drinking water for 4 weeks and then divided into four groups. Animals of groups 1 and 2 received basal diet and drinking water supplemented with or without DAP (2 g/l). Groups 3 and 4 were given diet containing 5% sodium L-ascorbate (NaAsA), a typical urinary bladder tumor promoter, and drinking water with or without DAP. Administration of DAP to group 1 significantly reduced tumor size, multiplicity and incidence, particularly of papillomas, when compared with group 2 values. DAP together with NaAsA (group 3) also decreased tumor size relative to the group 4 case. To determine the effects of DAP on the early stages of bladder carcinogenesis and its mechanisms, a similar protocol was conducted (experiment 2) with death after 20 weeks. DAP treatment caused complete inhibition (0% incidence) of papillary and/or nodular hyperplasia in group 1 but was without influence in group 3, as compared with the respective controls. Moreover, the ODC activity, bromodeoxyuridine labeling indices and mRNA expression levels of cyclin D1 in the urinary bladder mucosa, determined by northern blotting, were markedly lower in group 1 than in group 2, but values were comparable for both groups administered NaAsA. Assessment of mRNA expression levels of the angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor suggested no involvement in the inhibitory effects of DAP on urinary bladder carcinogenesis. The results indicate that inhibition of ODC could reduce urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats, particularly in the early stages, through antiproliferative mechanisms.

Early deregulation of the the p16ink4a-cyclin D1/cyclin-dependent kinase 4-retinoblastoma pathway in cell proliferation-driven esophageal tumorigenesis in zinc-deficient rats.
    Cancer research, 2000, Aug-15, Volume: 60, Issue:16

    The p16ink4a-cyclin D1/cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4)-retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway has emerged as a critical target in oncogenesis. The zinc-deficient (ZD), N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)-induced rat esophageal cancer model provides a tool to study cell proliferation and cell cycle control in cancer initiation. Weanling rats were fed a ZD or zinc-sufficient (ZS) diet for 5 weeks, and then given a dose of NMBA. After 14 weeks, esophageal tumor incidence was 88% in ZD rats with highly proliferative esophagi versus 0% in ZS rats. Expression of p16ink4a, cyclin D1, Cdk4, and Rb in relation to that of proliferating cell nuclear antigen was characterized in esophagi by immunohistochemistry at 0, 24, and 48 h, and 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14 weeks after NMBA treatment. As early as 24 h, proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive focal hyperplastic lesions were detected in the suprabasal layers of ZD esophagi. At the same time, overexpression of cyclin D1, Cdk4, and Rb was found in the corresponding lesion in adjacent esophageal sections. By contrast, p16ink4a expression was reduced or absent. At all time points, p16ink4a showed reduced nuclear staining in ZD esophagi compared with that in ZS esophagi. In addition, increased expression of the hyperphosphorylated forms of Rb was detected in ZD esophagi by immunoblotting. Importantly, tumors were consistently observed in ZD esophagi at very early time points. These data, obtained using a unique in vivo model for esophageal cancer with rapid tumor induction, provide strong evidence for a link between deregulation of the p16ink4a-cyclin D1/Cdk4-Rb pathway and the initiation of esophageal tumors.
