Summary: | Purpose: To test whether a novel rexinoid, LG100268, prevents the development of preinvasive and invasive estrogen receptor–negative
mammary tumorigenesis in MMTV-erbB2 mice.
Experimental Design: For invasive breast cancer prevention, MMTV-erbB2 mice were treated with daily gastric gavage of vehicle, LG100268 (10 mg/kg),
or LG100268 (100 mg/kg) for long term starting at 3 months of age. For preinvasive lesion study, mice were treated with daily
gastric gavage of vehicle or LG100268 (100 mg/kg) for 4 months.
Results: Long-term treatment with LG100268 significantly prevented invasive mammary tumor development. Median time (age) to tumor
development was delayed from 217 days in vehicle group to 357 days in low-dose group. In high-dose group, only 2 of 20 mice
developed tumors after 430 days of treatment. Short-term treatment of LG100268 significantly prevented the development of
preinvasive mammary lesions including hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ . The cancer prevention effect was associated with reduced expression of Ki67 and cyclin D1 in mammary glands by >80%.
Conclusion: Rexinoid LG100268 is an effective chemopreventive agent in preventing the development of both malignant and premalignant
mammary lesions in MMTV-erbB2 mice. |
