【 摘 要 】

Bladder cancer has been shown to resist programmed cell death with altered expression of both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins. To study is to investigate the apoptotic properties of Diindolylmethane (DIM) and Lupeol on N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) Nitrosamine (BBN) initiated and Dimethylarsinic Acid (DMA) promoted urinary bladder cancer. Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. Group I: Control. Group II: Rats were experimentally developed bladder carcinogenesis with BBN and DMA. Group III and IV: DIM and lupeol were administered after BBN treatment for 28 weeks. Group V and VI: DIM and lupeol alone treatment for 36 weeks. All the experimental rats were maintained and euthanized after 36 weeks protocol. Urinary bladder tissues were collected and processed for further investigations. Apoptotis and cell proliferative marker such as Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PCNA were quantified using immunohistochemical analysis. The Immunohistochemical expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PCNA were aberrant in BBN�?+ DMA treated tumor group. Administration of DIM and lupeol inhibited the progression of bladder cancer, induced the expression of apoptotic Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9 and inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, PCNA in the urinary bladder of rats. Administration of diindolylmethane and lupeol treatment induces apoptosis and cellular proliferation by its anti-carcinogenic properties. From our results DIM and lupeol would be the agent or adjunct for the treatment of bladder carcinogenesis.
