The antineoplastic effects of thymoquinone (TQ) (which has antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects) on neoplastic changes (atypical acinar cell foci, AACF) induced by azaserine were investigated, for the first time. Rats were randomly divided into five groups of 10 rats each (Cont, Tim, Az, AzTim1, and AzTim2). The Cont group was fed only with a standard diet. TQ (50 mg/L) was given orally (P.O.) to the Tim, AzTim1, and AzTim2 groups. TQ was given to Tim and AzTim1 after the first month, while AzTim2 group rats were given after the third month of azaserine injection, when AACFs began to form. Azaserine was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) (30 mg/kg bw) to 2-weeks-old Wistar albino male rats in the Az, AzTim1, and AzTim2 groups. AACF load were observed to be statistically significantly higher in all categories in the Az group compared to the Cont group (p < 0.05). AACF load were statistically significantly lower in all TQ groups (AzTim1 and AzTim2) compared to the Az group and it was demonstrated with TQ-containing diet administration. This decrease indicates the antineoplastic effect of TQ on AACF and supports previous studies.
首次研究了百里醌(TQ)(具有抗氧化和抗癌作用)对由氮杂丝氨酸诱导的肿瘤变化(非典型腺泡细胞灶,AACF) 的抗肿瘤作用。将大鼠随机分为五组,每组10只大鼠(对照组、TQ预处理组、氮杂丝氨酸组、氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 1组和氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 2组)。对照组仅给予标准饮食。TQ(50mg/L)经口给予TQ预处理组、氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 1组和氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 2组。TQ预处理组和氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 1组在第一个月后给予TQ,而氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 2组大鼠在注射氮杂丝氨酸第三个月后给予TQ,此时AACF开始形成。在氮杂丝氨酸组、氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 1组和氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 2组中,对2周龄的Wistar白化雄性大鼠腹腔注射(i.p.)氮杂丝氨酸(30mg/kg体重)。与对照组相比,氮杂丝氨酸组所有类别中的AACF负荷均在统计学上显著更高(p<0.05)。与氮杂丝氨酸组相比,所有TQ组(氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 1组和氮杂丝氨酸+TQ 2组)中的AACF负荷在统计学上显著更低,并且通过含TQ饮食给药得到证实。这种降低表明TQ对AACF具有抗肿瘤作用,并支持先前的研究。
