Abstract
Marolo (Annona crassiflora) is an underutilized Brazilian Cerrado fruit with few reports in the literature about its bioactive compounds and functional properties. In this context, the chemoprevention against the carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced pre-neoplastic lesions in Wistar rat colon was investigated and correlated with marolo's antioxidant activity and the contents of phenolic compounds and bioactive amines. Total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoids compounds (TFC) were determined in the marolo pulp extract by spectrophotometric and Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography and diode array detection (UPLC-DAD) analysis. Free bioactive amines were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) after post column derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde. In addition, the in vitro antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH, and ABTS. Wistar rats were treated orally with marolo pulp at 0.7, 1.4 and 2.8 g/kg body weight (bw)/day added to a standard ration. Four subcutaneous injections of DMH (40 mg/kg bw) were used to induce a pre-neoplastic lesion that was assessed by the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) assay. The marolo pulp (fresh weigh) showed high content of total phenolic compounds (9.16 mg GAE/g), with predominance of chlorogenic acid (1.86 µg/g) and epicatechin (0.99 µg/g), and total flavonoids (7.26 mg CE/g), ∼85 % of the TPC. The marolo pulp had significant contents of tyramine (31.97 mg/kg), putrescine (20.65 mg/kg), and spermidine (6.32 mg/kg). The marolo pulp inhibited (p < 0.05) pre-neoplastic lesions induced by DMH administration at the all concentrations tested. These findings indicate that marolo pulp has a colon carcinogenesis chemopreventive effect, which could be due to, at least in parts, its antioxidant action associated with its phenolics and flavonoids content as well of spermidine.

Abstract
This review is based upon evidence from the published effects of green tea polyphenols (GTP) on genotoxic damage induced by metals with carcinogenic potential. First, the relationship between GTP and antioxidant defense system is provided. Subsequently, the processes involved in the oxidative stress generated by metals and their relationship to oxidative DNA damage is examined. The review demonstrated that GTP generally decrease oxidative DNA damage induced by exposure to metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and lead (Pb). The pathways involved in these effects are related to: (1) direct scavenging of free radicals (FR); (2) activation of mechanisms to repair oxidative DNA damage; (3) regulation of the endogenous antioxidant system; and (4) elimination of cells with genetic damage via apoptosis. The results obtained in the studies reviewed demonstrate potential for possible use of GTP to prevent and treat oxidative damage in populations exposed to metals. Further, GTP may be considered as adjuvants to treatments for metal-associated diseases related to oxidative stress and DNA damage.

Combination of vitamin D and probiotics inhibits chemically induced colorectal carcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Life Sci 2023; 322:121617. [PMID: 37003542 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
The modulation of inflammatory elements, cell differentiation and proliferation by vitamin D and the role of probiotics in the intestinal microbiota and immunogenic response have sparked interest in the application of both in chemotherapeutics and chemoprevention of colorectal tumors. AIMS The present study aimed to investigate the effects of isolated and/or combined treatment of vitamin D3 and probiotics on colorectal carcinogenesis. MAIN METHODS Pre-neoplastic lesions were induced with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in the colon of Wistar rats, which were treated with probiotics and/or vitamin D in three different approaches (simultaneous, pre-, and post-treatment). We investigated the frequency of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and aberrant crypt (AC) in the distal colon, fecal microbiome composition, gene and protein expression through immunohistochemical and RT-PCR assays, and general toxicity through water consumption and weight gain monitoring. KEY FINDINGS Results confirm the systemic safety of treatments, and show a protective effect of vitamin D and probiotics in all approaches studied, as well as in combined treatments, with predominance of different bacterial phyla compared to controls. Treated groups show different levels of Nrf2, GST, COX2, iNOS, β-catenin and PCNA expression. SIGNIFICANCE These experimental conditions explore the combination of vitamin D and probiotics supplementation at low doses over pathways involved in distinct stages of colorectal carcinogenesis, with results supporting its application in prevention and long-term strategies.
