Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic reconstitution of tumorigenesis in primary intestinal cells
Kunishige Onuma,Masako Ochiai,Kaoru Orihashi,Mami Takahashi,Toshio Imai,Hitoshi Nakagama,Yoshitaka Hippo +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that tumor development could be simply induced independently of intestinal microenvironment, even with WT murine primary intestinal cells alone, and indicated that genetic cooperation for intestinal tumorigenesis could be essentially recapitulated in intestinal organoids without generating gene-modified mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotoxicity of nano/microparticles in in vitro micronuclei, in vivo comet and mutation assay systems.
Yukari Totsuka,Takashi Higuchi,Toshio Imai,Akiyoshi Nishikawa,Takehiko Nohmi,Tatsuya Kato,Shuich Masuda,Naohide Kinae,Kyoko Hiyoshi,Sayaka Ogo,Masanobu Kawanishi,Takashi Yagi,Takamichi Ichinose,Nobutaka Fukumori,Masatoshi Watanabe,Takashi Sugimura,Keiji Wakabayashi +16 more
TL;DR: Manufactured nano/microparticles, CB, C60 and kaolin, were shown to be genotoxic in in vitro and in vivo assay systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of toxicity of green tea catechins with 90-day dietary administration to F344 rats.
TL;DR: Green tea catechins, polyphenols extracted from the stalks and leaves of Camellia sinensis, are found in the different types of tea beverages and as antioxidant additives to many foods, snacks, fats and fatty oils and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of GTC was estimated to be 1.25%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of Hepatocarcinogenesis by Kojic Acid in Rat Two-Stage Models after Initiation with N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine or N-diethylnitrosamine
Tamotsu Takizawa,Toshio Imai,Jun-ichi Onose,Makoto Ueda,Toru Tamura,Kunitoshi Mitsumori,Keisuke Izumi,Masao Hirose +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate tumor-promoting and possible hepatocarcinogenic activity of KA at 2%, but the carcinogenic potential is likely to be weak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty pancreas: A possible risk factor for pancreatic cancer in animals and humans.
TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that pancreatic FI is involved in PDAC development in animals and humans, and further investigations to clarify the genetic and environmental factors that cause pancreaticFI are warranted.
