The effect of dietary quercetin (Q) was evaluated in rats treated with nitrosomethylurea (NMU). Pancreatic nodules and focal acinar cell hyperplasias were observed in groups treated with NMU (87%) and Q-NMU (100%). Although rats with dysplastic foci (27%) were found in the NMU-treated group, Q-NMU treatment resulted in a significantly higher number of rats with dysplastic foci (73%). Furthermore, carcinomas in situ (12%) and one microcarcinoma (4%) were found in these animals. Mitosis was significantly increased and apoptosis was diminished in focal acinar cell hyperplasias of the Q-NMU group. Our present results support a promoting and progressing effect of quercetin in the NMU model of rat pancreatic carcinogenesis.
在接受亚硝基甲基脲(NMU)治疗的大鼠中评估了膳食槲皮素(Q)的作用。在接受NMU(87%)和Q-NMU(100%)治疗的组中观察到胰腺结节和局灶性腺泡细胞增生。虽然在NMU治疗组中发现有发育异常灶的大鼠占27%,但Q-NMU治疗导致有发育异常灶的大鼠数量显著更高(73%)。此外,在这些动物中发现了原位癌(12%)和1例微癌(4%)。在Q-NMU组的局灶性腺泡细胞增生中,有丝分裂显著增加,细胞凋亡减少。我们目前的结果支持槲皮素在大鼠胰腺癌发生的NMU模型中具有促进和进展作用。
