Previously we reported a lack of modification by cinnamaldehyde (CNMA) of development of lung proliferative lesions induced by urethane in CB6F1-TgHras2 (rasH2) mice. In the present study, we re-evaluated CNMA effects using the same rasH2 strain and non-transgenic littermates initiated with 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). Sixteen mice/strain/sex received intraperitoneal NNK injections at a dose of 3 mg/mouse once a week for 2 weeks followed by free feeding of commercial diet containing 5000 ppm CNMA for 26 weeks. Additional groups were maintained without NNK injection and/or CNMA feeding for 28 weeks. Lung tumors were induced by NNK in both rasH2 and non-Tg males and females at incidence ranging from 63 to 100%. CNMA treatment significantly reduced the combined incidence of adenomas and carcinomas from 86 to 31% in rasH2 males (P<0.05), but no significant influence was evident in females. The multiplicity of NNK-induced lung tumors was also significantly reduced in rasH2 males given CNMA (P<0.01). Similar effects were also observed in non-Tg females given CNMA after NNK initiation. The results of our study strongly indicate that CNMA is capable of inhibiting development of NNK-initiated pulmonary tumorigenesis in rasH2 and non-Tg mice.

D018631 ras Proteins Small, monomeric GTP-binding proteins encoded by ras genes (GENES, RAS). The protooncogene-derived protein, PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN P21(RAS), plays a role in normal cellular growth, differentiation and development. The oncogene-derived protein ONCOGENE PROTEIN P21(RAS) can play a role in aberrant cellular regulation during neoplastic cell transformation (CELL TRANSFORMATION, NEOPLASTIC). This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.6.1.47. Gene Products, ras,ras GTPase,ras Protein,ras GTPases,GTPase, ras,GTPases, ras,Protein, ras,ras Gene Products
