Premalignant and malignant stages of mammary carcinogenesis can be rapidly induced by injecting female rats i.p. with 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea (MNU)3 at 21 days of age. In this paper, the characteristics of this model are briefly reviewed and the histology of the lesions induced is presented and compared to those that occur in humans. Malignant mammary lesions induced in rats injected with MNU at 21 days of age are compared with the lesions that develop when MNU is administered to 50-day-old female rats.
在21日龄雌性大鼠腹腔注射1-甲基-1-亚硝基脲(MNU)3可迅速诱导出乳腺癌发生的癌前和恶性阶段。本文简要回顾了该模型的特点,并展示了所诱导病变的组织学情况,并与人类发生的病变进行了比较。将21日龄注射MNU的大鼠诱导出的恶性乳腺病变与50日龄雌性大鼠注射MNU时发生的病变进行了比较。
