    Comparison of two chemical models to induce hepatic preneoplasia in male Wistar rats
    (Elsevier, 2015-03) Vera, Marina Cecilia; Pisani, Gerardo Bruno; Biancardi, María E.; Bottai, Hebe; Alvarez, María de Luján; Quintana, Alejandra Beatriz
    Background. One established model to induce hepatic preneoplasia (HP) (DEN 150) uses diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as initiator agent and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) as a promoter drug. In addition, both chemicals cause liver cholestasis and fibrosis. Aim. We compared DEN 150 model with another adapted by us, DEN 200 to simplify the first one and to evaluate the effectiveness of both treatments to induce HP in rats. Material and methods. Male Wistar rats were divided in 3 groups: controls; DEN 150 (rats received 2 doses of DEN, 150 mg/kg body weight, 2 weeks apart, and then 2-AAF, 20 mg/kg body weight, 4 doses per week during 3 weeks); and DEN 200 (rats received a single dose of DEN 200 mg/kg body weight, and 2 weeks apart 2-AAF, 20 mg/kg body weight, 2 doses per week during 3 weeks). Four hepatic enzymes, prothrombin time percentage, the number of bile ductules, total collagen amount, the number of altered hepatic foci (AHF) per liver and the percentage of liver occupied by foci were analyzed. Results. There were no differences in the number of AHF per liver between treated groups. Rats from DEN 200 group showed a significant diminution in the volume of liver occupied by foci. DEN 200 group had no fibrosis and better hemostatic conditions than DEN 150 group. Both groups developed cholestasis. Conclusion. In conclusion, both protocols are good alternatives to induce HP in rats and the new protocol proposed is an effective and a simple methodology to provide subclinic states of liver cancer.

    Hepatic preneoplasia induction in male Wistar rats: histological studies up to five months post treatment
    (Sociedad Española de Patología Digestiva (SEPD), 2016-08) Pisani, Gerardo Bruno; Valenti, José Luis; Quintana, Alejandra Beatriz
    Background: Liver preneoplasia development in rats can be mimicked by an initiation-promotion model that induces the appearance of altered hepatocyte foc (FAH). Aims: We compare two initiation-promotion models to evaluate the presence of FAH or additional hepatic pathologies in which other organs were affected up to five month post treatment. Material and methods: FAH were induced in male adult Wistar rats with two doses of dietylnitrosamine (DEN, 150 mg/kg bw) followed by 4 doses per week (3 weeks) of 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF, 20 mg/kg bw) or with one dose of DEN (200 mg/kg bw) followed by 2 doses per week (3 weeks) of 2-AAF. DEN 150, DEN 200 and control mice (received the vehicle of the drugs) groups were compared. Rats were euthanized immediately after the last dose of 2-AAF, at 3, 4 and 5 months (n = 3 euthanasia times per group). Samples of livers, lungs, kidneys, pancreatic tissue and small bowel were processed for histological and immunohistochemical analysis. Results: FAH persisted for 5 months in all livers of the DEN groups. Three months after withdrawal of 2-AAF, one rat from the DEN 150 group developed fibrosis and 5 months after 2-AAF removal another rat from the same group presented a microscopic hyperplastic nodule. Only the lungs had damage compatible with lesions induced by gavage-related reflux in DEN groups. Conclusion: We concluded that up to five month post treatments, FAH persisted in all the livers from the DEN groups; livers from the DEN 200 group showed no other hepatic lesions besides FAH, and only the lungs suffered pathological alterations in both treated groups.
