Abstract

In this study, the effects of different doses of dual modification-treated (DMT) indica rice resistant starch (IR-RS) on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced early colon cancer in mice were investigated. The investigated factors included body weight, gastrointestinal emptying rate, the number and morphology of aberrant crypt foci (ACFs) and the specific expressions of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and cytochrome c genes. The results demonstrated that DMT IR-RS controlled the increase in the body weights of the mice, increased the gastrointestinal emptying rates and reduced the numbers of ACFs and aberrant crypts. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that DMT IR-RS promoted the expression of APC, Bax and cytochrome c and inhibited the expression of Bcl-2. These results demonstrate that a DMT IR-RS diet may induce apoptosis and has beneficial health effects in AOM-induced early colon cancer in mice.
