Abstract:Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Boschniakia rossica(BR)on hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. Method:Based on immunohistochemistry techniques,the expression of placental form glutathione S-transferase(GST-P),mutant p53 and p21 protein were investigated in hepatic preneoplastic lesions induced by Solt-Farber protocol in the liver of rats that had been treated with the above method, administered with BR extract and of control groupResult:The extract of BR(500mg/kg)has inhibitory effect on the formation of diethylnitrosamine induced GST P positive foci in F344 rat and the expression of mutant p53 and p21 protein was lower than that of hepatic preneoplastic lesions, and the increasingr-glutamyltranspeptidase(r-GT)activity in rat liver treated with Solt Farber protocol was decreased by the extract of BR,Conclusion:These results indicate that BR has inhibitory effect on DEN induced hepatic preneoplastic lesions in F344 rat.
