Summary

Carcinomas of the glandular stomach were induced in 82 Wistar rats by means of MNNG1. Part of the group also received high doses of Vitamin A. A consistently significant increase in depth of invasion, i. e. progression of the pathological tumor stage, was observed under the influence of Vitamin A. The frequency of tumor occurrence was not significantly altered. The labilizing effect of Vitamin A on cellular membrane systems is the probable mechanism of Vitamin A's tumor-promoting influence in our experiment: 1. By way of destruction of lysosomal membranes, enzymes, cancerogens, and viruses would be released, leading directly or indirectly to an alteration of the DNA. 2. Damage of cell membranes would lead to loss of the contact inhibition.

Zusammenfassung

In einer Untersuchung an 82 Wistar-Ratten wurden Carcinome des Drüsenmagens mit MNNG erzeugt. Ein Teil der Tiere erhielt zusätzlich hohe Dosen Vitamin A. Wir sahen eine statistisch signifikante Zunahme der Invasionstiefe und damit der Progression des Tumorstadiums unter Vitamin A-Einfluß. Die Häufigkeit des Auftretens von Tumoren war hingegen nicht signifikant verändert. Als Ursache des tumorfördernden Einflußes von Vitamin A in unserem Experiment ist vor allem sein labilisierender Effekt auf celluläre Membransysteme zu diskutieren: 1. Durch Zerstörung lysosomaler Membranen werden Enzyme, Cancerogene und Viren freigesetzt, die direkt oder indirekt zu einer Alteration der DNA führen. 2. Durch Schädigung der Zellmembranen geht die Kontaktinhibition verloren.
