摘要
The effect of dietary cholesterol on the development of colonic preneoplastic aberrant crypts, as well as its influence on the proliferative status of the intestinal epithelium, was investigated in mice exposed to the chemical carcinogen azoxymethane. Two strains of mice, C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ, were fed a semisynthetic diet containing 0% (control), 1.25%, or 5.00% cholesterol for eight weeks. During the first four weeks of the experiment, mice were given weekly injections of azoxymethane. Cholesterol supplementation significantly increased the formation of aberrant crypts (p < 0.0001), enhanced the rate of cell proliferation (p < 0.0001), altered the cell proliferative pattern, and increased crypt height (p < 0. 05) and the total number of cells per crypt (p < 0.01) in the colonic epithelium of both mouse strains. C57BL/6J mice developed a greater number of aberrant crypts (p < 0.0001). However, a diet-strain interaction was not observed. The results of this study indicate that dietary cholesterol enhances colon carcinogenesis in the murine colon and therefore may be an important factor in the etiology of large bowel cancer in humans.
