Inhibition of growth and development of the transplantable C-6 glioma cells inoculated in rats by retinoids and carotenoids.

Abstract:

:Experimental data were provided to demonstrate the inhibitory effects of retinoids (retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate) and carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene and crocetin) on the growth and development of the C-6 glioma cells inoculated in rats. In the pretreatment experiments, most of these compounds could prolong the latency period of T50 (time for 50% tumor incidence). At week 7, the growth inhibition was 57-67% (P less than 0.02) with carotenoids and 40-55% (P less than 0.05) with retinoids. In the post-treatment experiments, the growth inhibition was 30-55% (P less than 0.05) with carotenoids and 21-42% (P less than 0.05) with retinoids. No significant hepatotoxic effect was observed in all treated groups as indicated by the constant levels of serum enzymes (e.g. aspartate amino-transferase, alanine amino-transferase and alkaline phosphatase) and bilirubin. The mechanisms of tumor inhibition through the enhancement of anti-tumor immunity by both carotenoids and retinoids were discussed.
