Abstract：
:To address the possible involvement of hyperinsulinemia in breast cancer development, we have examined the susceptibility of lean and obese Zucker rats to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary cancer. Fifty-day-old female lean or obese Zucker rats received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 37.5 or 20 mg/kg MNU, respectively. We showed in separate experiments that these doses produce similar levels of DNA methylation in the mammary epithelial cells of the lean and obese animals. Over the course of 29 weeks following MNU treatment, half of the lean rats developed carcinomas of the mammary gland, demonstrating that they are of intermediate susceptibility to mammary tumorigenesis. During this period, the obese rats developed hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance as expected. Although palpable tumors developed at a similar rate in the lean and obese rats, only 10% of the obese animals developed mammary carcinomas. The obese rats, however, developed a high incidence (63.3%) of epidermal cysts that occurred mainly in the region of the mammary glands. A 13.3% incidence of colon carcinomas was also found in the obese rats. These results suggest that the development of hyperinsulinemia does not render the obese Zucker rats more susceptible to mammary gland carcinogenesis. Our observation of colon carcinomas in obese, but not lean rats, however, is consistent with evidence that hyperinsulinemia promotes colon cancer in rodents and humans.
