The effect of prolonged administration of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) on sodium chloride-enhanced gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, and the labelling and apoptotic indices and immunoreactivity of transforming growth factor (TGF) alpha in the gastric cancers was investigated in Wistar rats. After 25 weeks of carcinogen treatment, the rats were given chow pellets containing 10% sodium chloride and subcutaneous injections of RA at doses of 0.75 or 1.5 mg kg(-1) body weight every other day. In week 52, oral supplementation with sodium chloride significantly increased the incidence of gastric cancers compared with the untreated controls. Long-term administration of RA at both doses significantly reduced the incidence of gastric cancers, which was enhanced by oral administration of sodium chloride. RA at both doses significantly decreased the labelling index and TGF-alpha immunoreactivity of gastric cancers, which were enhanced by administration of sodium chloride, and significantly increased the apoptotic index of cancers, which was lowered by administration of sodium chloride. These findings suggest that RA attenuates gastric carcinogenesis, enhanced by sodium chloride, by increasing apoptosis, decreasing DNA synthesis, and reducing TGF-alpha expression in gastric cancers.
