<h4>Scope</h4>Inadequate folate intake increases risk for colorectal cancer. We previously showed that low-folate diets induced intestinal tumors in BALB/c mice, but not in C57BL/6 mice. We suggested that DNA damage, altered methylation, and reduced apoptosis could contribute to tumorigenesis in this model.<h4>Methods and results</h4>To identify genes involved in tumorigenesis, we compared gene expression profiles in preneoplastic intestine of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice-fed low folate. We identifie ...[more]
