1 Plasma membrane-associated sialidase (NEU3) promotes formation of colonic aberrant crypt foci in azoxymethane-treated transgenic mice. Azoxymethane neuraminidase 3 Mus musculus
2 Mice were injected with azoxymethane (i.p., 15 mg/kg/week) for 6 weeks, and 4 weeks later ACF had formed in the NEU3 transgenic mice significantly more than in the control wild-type mice. Azoxymethane neuraminidase 3 Mus musculus
3 The results of this study provide the first evidence that NEU3 essentially increases azoxymethane-induced ACF formation in colon mucosa by suppression of apoptosis, possibly via activation of the EGF signaling pathway, and thus indicate that up-regulation of NEU3 is important to the promotion stage of colorectal carcinogenesis in vivo.
