The induction of c-fos and c-myc expression in the pyloric mucosa of 8-week-old F344 male rats after oral administration of the glandular stomach carcinogen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), or the tumor-promoter, taurocholate, was examined by Northern blotting. MNNG at doses of 5-50 mg/kg body weight dose-dependently induced transient increase of up to 30-fold c-fos expression with a maximum after 30 min, and of 8-fold c-myc expression with a maximum after 3 h. It also induced up to 3-fold increase in S-phase cells in the proliferation zone of the pyloric mucosa after 16 h. Similar effects were observed with sodium taurocholate at doses of 200-800 mg/kg body weight. These results suggest that c-fos and c-myc oncogenes play a role in stomach carcinogenesis.

D011706 Pyloric Antrum The region between the sharp indentation at the lower third of the STOMACH (incisura angularis) and the junction of the PYLORUS with the DUODENUM.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013656 Taurocholic Acid The product of conjugation of cholic acid with taurine. Its sodium salt is the chief ingredient of the bile of carnivorous animals.
