Independent induction of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer in rats treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine

Intestinal metaplasia in pyloric mucosa and presence of intestinal-type tumor cells in gastric tumors in Wistar rats during gastrocarcinogenesis were examined by paradoxical concanavalin A staining and biochemical pepsinogen (Pg) assay. Gastric cancer was induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosog...

Zusammenfassung:Intestinal metaplasia in pyloric mucosa and presence of intestinal-type tumor cells in gastric tumors in Wistar rats during gastrocarcinogenesis were examined by paradoxical concanavalin A staining and biochemical pepsinogen (Pg) assay. Gastric cancer was induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) given in drinking water at a level of 50 mu g/ml for either 16 weeks (Group 1) or 8 weeks (Group 2). Changes associated with MNNG treatment included intestinal metaplasia of pyloric mucosa, adenomatous hyperplasia of pyloric mucosa, and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of pyloric mucosa.
