Abstract: | [Introduction] Colorectal cancer has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide; consequently, much attention has been focused on preventive and therapeutic strategies. In this sense, prebiotics have been reported as potential anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic agents within the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, we have investigated the protective effect of novel galacto-oligosacharides derived from lactulose (GOS-Lu). These prebiotics have shown strong bifidogenic properties in vivo (Clemente et al., 2011; Hernández-Hernández et al., 2012). [Objectives] GOS-Lu has been tested here as potential antitumor preventive prebiotic, in a rat model developed with azoxymethane (AOM) as chemical inducer of colorectal cancer. [Methods] Male Fisher 344 rats were randomly assigned to two groups (n=10 per group, including 2 rats lacking colorectal cancer AOM induction): one cohort (negative control) with drinking water, and experimental cohort with 10% GOS-Lu (w/v) added to drinking water. Eight animals in each cohort received two doses of AOM (10 mg/kg) plus two treatments with DSS (3% and 2%). After 17 weeks, animals were sacrificed and colon tissues analyzed for number of tumors and tumor mucosa affected area. [Results] Anatomical studies showed that caecum weight was enlarged a 35.2% on average (p<0.05) in experimental animals fed GOS-Lu. The number of colon tumors was decreased 57.5% on average (p<0.05) in prebiotic-fed animals. In addition, the tumor affected area in colon mucosa was reduced a 50.5% on average (p<0.05) in animals drinking GOS-Lu in water. [Conclusions] These findings suggest that inclusion of the prebiotic preparation GOS-Lu might contribute to the prevention of this important neoplasia. |
