ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To determine whether a hypercaloric and hyperlipidic diet enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids influences the formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in colonic mucosa of Wistar rats treated with azoxymethane (AOM).
METHODS: At eight weeks of life, the rats were assigned to four groups: Group I―standard diet (STD) not treated with AOM; Group II―hypercaloric and hyperlipidic diet (FED), not treated with AOM; Group III―STD, treated with AOM; Group IV―FED, treated with AOM. At 16 weeks, the animals were injected intraperitoneal with 0.9% saline solution (Group I and II) or AOM at 15mg/Kg (Groups III and IV) once a week for two weeks. Fifteen weeks later, the animals were euthanized.
RESULTS: FED promoted weight gain in Groups II and IV compared to Groups I and III, respectively. The groups did not differ with regard to the total number of ACF. The Chi-square test revealed no predominance of the presence of foci with <4 crypts. However, foci with ≥5 crypts were proportionally more prevalent in Group III than in Group IV (p=0.043).
CONCLUSION: The administration of polyunsaturated fatty acids did not interfere with the formation of aberrant crypt foci, but reduced ACF multiplicity, exercising an attenuating effect on carcinogenesis.

Introduction
Even though colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third-most prevalent type of cancer in the world today, its etiology remains largely unknown. The increasing incidence of CRC has been associated with ageing populations in many countries and changes in life style related to both sedentarism and processed food intake1,2.
Obesity is known to be associated with increased risk of cancer in several organs, including the colorectum, through hyperinsulinemia acting directly on the insulin receptors in preneoplastic cells, thereby inducing cell growth. Insulin resistance secondary to hyperinsulinemia generates chronic subclinical inflammation and leads to increased levels of interleukins, prostaglandins and certain cytokines3,4.
Experimental studies suggest that CRC is strongly influenced by dietary factors. Thus, ingestion of a fiber and folate-rich diet has been shown to reduce the risk of CRC. Calcium has a protective effect as it acts directly on the epithelial colon cells reducing proliferation and inhibiting carcinogenesis5,6.
Dietary fat makes up around 40% of all ingested calories in countries with high incidence of CRC. This is twice the proportion (1520%) observed in regions with low incidence of CRC. In fact, there is evidence of a relation between fatty diets and CRC, although the correlation appears to be dependent not only on amount, but also on fatty acid composition7.
Research has shown that ω-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play a protective role in the development of colorectal cancer and display antiinflammatory activity8,9, while ω-6 fatty acids promote carcinogenesis. There is also evidence that ω-3 fatty acids can modulate the formation of eicosanoids and influence the expression of genes, signal transduction molecules and enzyme activity. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are activated by lipophilic compounds such as fatty acids, steroids, vitamin A and D, eicosanoids and drugs. Oxidated EPA is a PPAR-α and PPAR-γ agonist with hypolipidemic and antiinflammatory action through the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB). Consequently, ω-3 fatty acids can affect cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis10. PPAR-γ activation induced by diets rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids increases sensitivity to insulin and reduces manifestations of the metabolic syndrome11.
Aberrant crypt foci (ACF), first described by Bird12, is one of the earliest precursors of colorectal adenomas and cancer in humans12-14. In fact, ACF may be observed in the colonic mucosa as early as 2-4 weeks after being induced dose-dependently by specific carcinogenic agents. The increase over time in ACF size and multiplicity is predictive of tumor outcome15.
Thus, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hypercaloric and hyperlipidic diet enriched with polyunsaturated fat (ω-3 and ω-9) on azoxymethane-induced formation of ACF in rat colonic mucosa.
Methods
The study was previously approved by the Federal University of Ceara (UFC) Ethics Committee for Animal Research (CEPA) under protocol #11/06 and was conducted according to the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals.
The experiment used 36 eight-week-old male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus, Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae) weighing 180-250g, supplied by the UFC laboratory animal facility and housed at the UFC laboratory of experimental surgery. The animals were accommodated in individual polypropylene cages under appropriate conditions of moisture, temperature and lighting and had access to food and water ad libitum.
The animals were assigned at random to 4 groups of 9 rats each and fed with one of two diets: a standard diet (STD) (Biobase Biotec® Ratos e Camundongos) providing a total of 3,000 kcal/kg, or a hypercaloric and hyperlipidic diet (FED) enriched with polyunsaturated fat (ω-9:ω-6 = 1.5:1/ ω-6:ω-3 = 3:1) containing 15g STD + 20g Nutri Diabetic® + 5mL canola oil, providing a total of 4,250 kcal/kg (Tables 1, 2 and 3).
Carcinogenesis was induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of two consecutive doses of 15mg/Kg azoxymethane one week apart12,13.
Study design
Prior to the experiment the animals were tagged, weighed and distributed in the following groups:
Group I (GI): Control group, fed with STD, not treated with AOM. The animals were fed with STD from the time of weaning until euthanasia. At 16 weeks, two doses of 1.0 mL 0.9% sterile saline solution (SS) was administered i.p. one week apart. The animals were euthanized in the 31st week of the experiment.
Group II (GII): Study group, fed with FED, not treated with AOM. The animals were fed with FED from the eighth week of life until euthanasia. At 16 weeks, two doses of 1.0 mL 0.9% SS was administered i.p. one week apart. The animals were euthanized in the 31st week of the experiment.
Group III (GIII): Study group, fed with STD, treated with AOM. The animals were fed with STD from the time of weaning until euthanasia. At 16 weeks, two doses of 15mg/kg AOM was administered i.p one week apart. The animals were euthanized in the 31st week of the experiment.
Group IV (GIV): Study group, fed with FED, treated with AOM. The animals were fed with FED from the eighth week of life until euthanasia. At 16 weeks, two doses of 15mg/kg AOM was administered i.p. one week apart. The animals were euthanized in the 31st week of the experiment.
Surgical procedure and euthanasia
Fifteen weeks after the first dose of AOM, the animals were anesthetized with 80 mg/Kg ketamine and 8 mg/Kg xylazine i.p., placed in dorsal decubitus in preparation for surgery and submitted to laparotomy by xypho-pubic median incision and exposure of the peritoneal cavity for protocolectomy. The excised specimens were measured, weighed, opened longitudinally opposite the mesocolon, washed with SS, laid out on kraft filter paper, rolled up along the axis and immersed in a 10% formaldehyde solution for fixation. Subsequently, the animals were euthanized by hypovolemic shock by sectioning the abdominal aorta.
The colon was then divided into three segments of equal size (distal, middle and proximal) and stained with 0.1% methylene blue in phosphate buffered saline for one minute12. Following Bird's method, the ACF were counted by the same researcher using a stereo microscope (DF Vasconcellos M90, Vasconcellos S.A.) at 40x.
Statistical analysis
Analyses were carried out with the software SPSS v.16.0 for Windows®. Comparisons between three or more independent groups were performed with ANOVA or the Kruskal Wallis test. Student's t test was used for pairwise comparisons with regard to average weight. The Chi-square test was used to verify the homogeneity of Groups III and IV with respect to ACF multiplicity. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results
The groups were compared with regard to weight, macroscopic aspects and microscopic findings (number and multiplicity of ACF).
Weight distribution
The average weight was not significantly different between Groups I and II (p=0.711) or between Groups III and IV (p=0.417) at baseline. However, by the end of the experiment the average weight was greater in Group II than in Group I (p=0.000) and greater in Group IV than in Group III (p=0.028) (Table 4).
Stereomicroscopic findings
Aberrant crypt foci
Significant differences in ACF total numbers were observed for Group III between the proximal and the middle segment (p=0.000), between the proximal and the distal segment (p=0.006) and between the middle and the distal segment (p=0.048). Likewise, significant differences were found for Group IV between the proximal and the middle segment (p=0.000) and between the proximal and the distal segment (p=0.000) (Table 5). Groups III and IV did not differ significantly with regard to the total number of ACF in the entire specimen (p=0.933) (Table 6).
ACF multiplicity in groups treated with AOM
Groups III and IV did not differ significantly with regard to the total number of ACF with <4 crypts, but differed with regard to the total number of ACF with ≥5 crypts (p=0.043) (Table 7).
Discussion
CRC in humans is in many cases related to feeding habits: dietary substances such as saturated fats and ω-6 fatty acids favor the development of dysplasia in the crypts of the colonic mucosa and can promote carcinogenesis, while diets rich in polyunsaturated fat, -3 and ω-9 fatty acids, insoluble fibers, certain vitamins (D, A, C, E and β-carotene), minerals (calcium, selenium) and antioxidants (folates, flavonoids) may reduce the incidence16-18. It is estimated that CRC is causally associated with environmental factors, especially diet-related factors, in 80% of cases19.
The animals in Group I and III were fed a normocaloric (3,000 kcal/kg) standard diet (Biobase Biotec® Ratos e Camundongos; ω-9:ω-6=0.4:1; ω-6:ω-3=8:1; polyunsaturated: saturated fat = 5.2:1) (Tables 1 and 3). The animals in Group II and IV were fed a hyperlipidic and hypercaloric diet (4,250 kcal/kg) rich in polyunsaturated fat (ω-9:ω-6 = 1.5:1; ω-6:ω-3 = 3:1; polyunsaturated/saturated fat = 7.6:1) enriched with fibers, minerals and vitamins (Tables 2 and 3).
The hyperlipidic and hypercaloric diet used in this study resembles the Mediterranean diet (rich in -3 fatty acids, >50% ω-9 fatty acids, low in saturated fat) which is known to be toxin-free and protective against cardiovascular disorders20-22. Similar diets have been shown to influence colorectal carcinogenesis23-25. The present study tested the ability of a hyperlipidic and hypercaloric diet to inhibit the development of ACF in the colonic mucosa of rats treated with AOM.
The study diet (FED) contained >50% ω-9 fatty acids (Table 3). Diets of this type tend to reduce oxidative stress, because oleic acid (which has only one double carbon bond) produces less reactive oxygen species when oxidated26.
The ω-9:-6 ratio was 1.5:1 for FED and 0.4:1 for STD (Table 3). This probably contributed to reducing inflammation, and thereby carcinogenesis, in the colonic mucosa of rats treated with AOM.
The diets used in the study produced no clinical impact, such as diarrhea or abdominal distension. However, animals receiving FED (Group II and IV) and animals receiving STD (Group I and III) differed significantly with regard to final weight and evolution in weight gain, as shown by differences observed between Group I (STD) and Group II (FED) and between Group III (STD+AOM) and Group IV (FED+AOM) at the onset of AOM administration and by the end of the experiment (Table 4). It may thus be inferred that AOM at 15mg/kg did not interfere with food ingestion nor affect the final weight of the animals.
In spite of the greater weight gain observed in Group IV compared to Group III, no significant increase was observed in the total number of ACF in the middle segment (p=0.985) or distal segment (p=0.854) or in the total number of crypts or foci in the entire colonic mucosa (p=0.933 vs. p=0.893, respectively) (Tables 5 and 6). This diverges from results published by other researchers showing that hypercaloric diets and obesity favor tumor growth4,27-29.
In our study, Groups III and IV did not differ significantly with regard to ACF multiplicity when foci with <4 crypts were considered for the entire colonic mucosa. However, foci with ≥5 crypts were proportionally more prevalent in Group III than in Group IV (p=0.043) (Table 7), suggesting the study diet (FED) was protective against carcinogenesis.
Diets enriched with ω-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid, EPA and DHA―polyunsaturated fats with antiinflammatory and immunoregulatory action) suppress the Akt/mTOR and NFκB pathways and prevent tumor cell proliferation. In addition, oxidated EPA (a PPAR-γ agonist) plays an important role in apoptosis30.
Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids have been shown to have opposite regulatory effects on k-ras31, Bcl-232 and Bax33 (proteins involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis) and to influence induced NOS activity10. iNOS is positively correlated with COX-2 expression and angiogenesis34,35. iNOS activity with excessive nitric oxide production can also inhibit the activity of DNA repair enzymes and modulate the activity of caspases and p5336. DHA can reduce the expression of iNOS in vitro37. Most researchers have used ω-3 extracted from fish. In this study vegetable α-linolenic acid was used as the principal source.
Shirtiliff and Bird suggested that foci with a greater number of crypts are at higher risk of becoming neoplastic as they reflect the proliferation process of early lesions38. If so, the number of crypts per ACF may be a relatively precise indicator of the risk of tumor development39,40.
The present study shows that, in spite of the weight gain observed, the study diet (FED) did not interfere in the development and proliferation of ACF in the entire colonic mucosa, but it significantly inhibited the development of foci with 5 or more crypts, suggesting a protective effect against the development of neoplastic cells.
Conclusion
The administration of a diet enriched with polyunsaturated ω-3 and -9 fatty acids did not interfere with the generation of AFC but reduced ACF multiplicity, producing an attenuating―thus beneficial―effect on colorectal carcinogenesis.
