Gastrointestinal cancers: influence of gut microbiota, probiotics and prebiotics.

abstract：:To investigate characteristic of lung adenocarcinoma growth behavior, we have established a cell line (rat lung cancer in Nara (RLCNR)) from a tumor induced by N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP) in a rat. This clone shows an epithelial cell morphology and grows as sheets in culture with an approximate doubling t...

abstract：:Chemically-induced mutagenesis and carcinogenesis is modulated by various plant products, some of which are present in the human diet. 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a potent carcinogen in tobacco and tobacco smoke, is activated by microsomal enzymes. In this study, we investigated the effects o...
