Inhibition of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) genotoxicity by a probiotic strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (IMC501) was assessed by the prokaryotic short-term bioassay SOSChromotest, using Escherichia coli PQ37 as the target organism. Results showed the ability of strain IMC501 to rapidly and markedly counteract, in vitro, the DNA damage originated by the considered genotoxin. The inhibition was associated with a spectroscopic hypsochromic shift of the original 4-NQO profile and progressive absorbance increase of a new peak. IR-Raman and GC-MS analyses confirmed the disappearance of 4-NQO after contact with the microorganism, showing also the absence of any genotoxic molecule potentially available for metabolic activation (i.e., 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline-1-oxide and 4-nitrosoquinoline-1-oxide). Furthermore, we have shown the presence of the phenyl-quinoline and its isomers as major non-genotoxic conversion products, which led to the hypothesis of a possible pattern of molecular transformation. These findings increase knowledge on lactobacilli physiology and contribute to the further consideration of antigenotoxicity as a nonconventional functional property of particular probiotic strains.

4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) a potent oral carcinogen, widely used for induction of oral carcinogenesis, has been found to induce lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Green tea contains a high content of polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants. Thus green tea polyphenols (GTP) might be expected play a protective role against 4-NQO induced lipid peroxidation and bone marrow toxicity. In the present study, a dose of 200 mg of GTP/kg b.wt/day was given orally for a week, simultaneously animals received 0.2 ml of 0.5% 4-NQO in propylene glycol (5 mg/ml) injected intramuscularly for three times/week. Oxidants and antioxidants such as malendialdehyde (MDA) and thiols, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were significantly decreased in 4-NQO induced animals except MDA, and these parameters were brought back to near normalcy on treatment with GTP. The results suggest that GTP treatment offers significant protection against 4-NQO induced lipid peroxidation and bone marrow toxicity and might be a promising potential candidate for prevention of mutations leading to cancer.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of indomethacin on the distribution of Langerhans cells and T-lymphocytes related with immune response of 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide induced carcinogenesis at the palate and tongue of albino rat. 54 Sprague-Dawley strain 10 weeks old albino rats, about 150gm weighted, divided into a normal group of 6 rats without treatment, a control group of 12 rats given indomethacin, a carcinogenesis group of 18 whose palatal mucosa were appiled with 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide three times a week, and experimental group of 18 rats were treated with indomethacin and whose palatal mucosa were applied 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide. All these 54 rats were subjected to be observed as being ATPase stained specimens, specimens for the observation of light and electron microscope, and T-lymphocyte stained specimens. The obtained results were summarized as follows; 1. In carcinogenesis group, proliferation of epithelial layer and rete peg were observed early period of the experiment and showed parakeratosis, individual cell keratinization, acanthosis, and lymphocyte infiltration from 13th week of the experiment on lightmicroscopically, while experimental group showed less reaction than that of carcinagenesis group. 2. The number of Langerhans cells in normal group rarely changed until 21st week of the experiment, while the Langerhans cells increased markedly from 3rd week of the experiment in control group. 3. The number of Langerhans cells were decreased markedly and persistantly until 21st week of the experiment both in carcinogenesis and experimental groups. 4. Appearance of the T-helper cells and T-suppressor cells were minimal and irregullar in number both in normal and control groups. Thus it is assumed that administration of indomethacin and distribution of Langerhans cells showed close relation. 5. In carcinogenesis and experimental groups, the number of the T-helper cells was apparently inereased than that of the T-suppressor cells, but increasing pattern in experimental group was less than in carcinogenesis group. These cells increased most in the 21st week, decreased from the 23rd week and the appearance of these cells were irregular in general throughout the experiment.

발암물질의 영향하에서 단백질 합성의 변화를 알고자 발암원의 일종인 4NQO를 발생중의 계배 난황난에 주입하여 연구하였다. 각 장기에서 발생의 진행과 병행하여 단백질과 당점액질의 합성양상에 변화가 있었으며 대조군에 비하여 4NQO 처리군에서 일반적으로 각 단백질과 당점액질이 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 4NQO의 영향은 조직간에 특이적이었으며 심근에서는 큰 변화를 볼 수 없었으나 특히 4NQO 처리 24시간후의 허파와 사낭근에서는 현저한 감소를 나타내었다. 이로써 4NQO는 조직특이적이기는 하나 단백질과 당점액질의 합성에 영향을 비친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of indomethacin on prostaglandins in 4-Nitroquinoline-N-Oxide (4-NQO) induced palatal carcinoma of albino rats. 128 Sprague-Dawley strain albino rats-about 100g in body weight-were used in this study, divided into as belows; 1. Normal group (16-albino rats) with no treatment, 2. Control group (16-albino rats) treated with prophylene application onto palatal mucosa 3 times a week. 3. Experimental group I (48-albino rats) treated with 0.5% 4-NQO in prophylene application onto palatal mucosa 3 times a week. 4. Experimental group II (48-albino rats) treated with 0.5% 4-NQO in prophylene application with administered $20{\mu}g/ml$ of indomethacin in drinking water ad. lib. Four animals were sacrificed 7th, 13th, 19th, and 25th week respectively in normal and control group, and 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th week respectively in experimental group I and II at each time. The palatal and lingual tissues were excised and kept frozen at $-70^{\circ}C$. Densitometer scan and Beta-counting counter were used for the thin layer chromatography of the arachidonic acid metabolites. The obtained results were as belows; 1. In normal and control group, there was little change of the arachidonic acid metabolites during experiment period, and the tissue homogenates included prostaglandin $D_2$, 6-keto-prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$, prostaglandin $E_2$, thromboxane $B_2$, prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ in that order of relative abundances. 2. In experimental group I, prostaglandin $D_2$, and prostaglandin $E_2$ were increased, while 6-keto-prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$ and thromboxane $B_2$ were decreased in relative abundances of arachidonic acid metabolites. And there was little change in prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$ 3. In experimental group II, prostaglandin $D_2$, and prostaglandin $E_2$ were increased, while 6-keto-prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$ and thromboxane $B_2$ were decreased in relative abundances of arachidonic acid metabolites. And there was little change in prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ also. 4. In the range of increase in prostaglandin $D_2$, and prostaglandin $E_2$, and that of decrease in 6-keto-prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$ and thromboxane $B_2$, in relative abundances, there was wider in experimental group I than in group II. 5. In the range of increase in prostaglandin $D_2$, and prostaglandin $E_2$, and that of decrease in 6-keto-prostaglandin $F_{1{\alpha}}$ and thromboxane $B_2$, in relative abundances, there was wider in palatal mucosa than in lingual mucosa in experimental group I and II.
