Özet

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of halofuginone on the progression of azoxymethane-induced colon cancer in rats. A total of 38 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups: Control (n=8), Halofuginone (n= 10, 0.4 mg/kg, PO, SID), Cancer (n=10, azoxymethane, 15 mg/kg, IP, once a week for two weeks) and Cancer + Halofuginone (n=10). After 18 weeks, blood samples were taken under anesthesia and all animals were sacrificed. Aberrant crypt foci in the colon were stained with methylene blue. Blood cytokines, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha levels, hemogram and biochemical values were measured. The tumor necrosis factor-a level in the Cancer group was higher (P<0.05) than in other groups, while higher numbers of aberrant crypt foci were found in the Cancer group compared with the Cancer + Halofuginone group (P<0.05). In summary, it may be stated that halofuginone may warrant evaluation as a supportive drug in the treatment of colon cancer in the future.
