Differential Chemopreventive Activity of Sulindac and/or Atorvastatin in Apc+/Min-FCCC Mice With or Without Colorectal Adenomas
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Emerging data suggest that some high-risk subjects benefit more than others from preventive intervention. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of sulindac (Sul) and/or atorvastatin (Atorva) against spontaneous colorectal adenomas in Apc+/Min-FCCC mice in which the tumor-bearing status was known at the time of treatment initiation. Administration of Sul/Atorva to tumor-bearing mice led to a 43% reduction in the multiplicity of colorectal adenomas as compared to that of untreated tumor-bearing mice. Atorvastatin completely inhibited the formation of microadenomas in mice that were tumor-free at baseline, with associated decreases in the expression of inflammatory mediators observed. Expression of Hoxb13 and Rprm was enhanced significantly following Sul/Atorva treatment, suggesting the importance of cell cycle regulation in colon tumor inhibition. The tumor status of animals at treatment initiation dictates response to atorvastatin, sulindac and Sul/Atorva. The tumor inhibition observed with Sul/Atorva in tumor-bearing mice was greater than that achieved with either agent alone.
