Abstract:
:Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) present in cooked foods are suggested to be involved in human breast cancer development. Estrogen plays a pivotal role in mammary gland carcinogenesis. Therefore, we designed an in vivo experiment to investigate potential estrogenic effects of two HCAs, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), which induce mammary gland cancers in rodents, on the uterus of ovariectomized (OVX) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Female SD rats ovariectomized at 35 days of age were given intraperitoneal injections of 17beta-estradiol (E2) at doses of 0, 30 or 50 microg/kg or one of the HCAs at a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w. once a day at 47, 48, and 49 days of age. E2 dramatically increased uterine weights, stromal thickness, epithelial cell height, and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) positive cell counts in a dose dependent manner. Intraperitoneal administration of PhIP or IQ, in contrast, did not produce any estrogenic responses in this assay system. These results indicate that the carcinogenicities of these two HCAs in mammary glands are not associated with estrogenic potential.

CANCER LETTERS文献大全abstract::Resistance to anoikis is a hallmark of human malignancies. Our results showed that hepatoma cells resisted anoikis by non-proliferation, non-apoptosis and cell cycle arrest which were termed synoikis-like. These synoikis-like cells are more resistant to extracellular stimuli and could spontaneously attach and prolifer...
