Azoxymethane, as a colon carcinogen, can lead to the formation of DNA adducts[1]. Azoxymethane (AOM) causes O(6)-methylguanine adduct formation which leads to G-->A transitions[2].
In vivo, 7-week-old conventional male C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 6 doses of 10 mg/kg AOM, feces from obese individuals promote colorectal cancer formation in AOM-treated CRC mouse model[3]. SWR/J, A/J mice was treated with 10 mg/kg AOM i.p. once a week for 8 weeks developed tumors, with a distribution that was limited to the distal colon[4]. In wild-type (WT) mice, AOM treatment (10 mg/kg) induced a 2.5-fold increase in intestinal crypt stem cell survival. WT mice receiving AOM exhibited increased intestinal apoptosis and a simultaneous reduction in crypt mitotic figures within 8 h of injection[5].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
hepatic microsomes |
|
Preparation Method |
The assay for AOM-induced in vitro DNA adduct formation was based on a published method. Briefly, microsomes (0.5-2.0 mg/mL) were incubated with calf thymus DNA (1 mg/mL) and AOM (200 µM) in a total volume of 1.0 mL. The assay buffer consisted of 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM MgCl2, 0.3 M KCl, and 1.5 mM NADPH. Incubations were carried out at 37 °C for 60 min in a shaking water bath. An additional 30 nmol of NADPH was added after the first 30 min. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.5 mL of ice-cold 7.5 M ammonium acetate. DNA was then extracted as described above for tissue homogenates. Control incubations were performed without NADPH. |

Reaction Conditions |
200 µM; 60 min |
|
Applications |
On an equal protein basis, hepatic microsomes were much more active than SI and colon microsomes in NADPH-dependent AOM bioactivation and N7-mG adduct formation. Microsomes of the liver (but not those of the SI or colon) of LCN mice showed significantly lower activity in N7-mG formation compared to that of WT mice. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
8 to 10-week-old male C57BL/6J mice |
|
Preparation Method |
On day 0, mark and weight each mice. Prepare 1 mg/mL (1 µg/µL) AOM working solution in PBS, and inject each mouse intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg (body weight) of AOM (For example, a 20 g mouse shall be injected with 200 µL AOM solution). Then each mice was providedwith 2.5% DSS-containing drinking water for 7 days, followed with normal water for 10 days. This cycle of DSS -containing water and normal water shall be repeated three times, and then the normal water treatment stays last to the experimental endpoint. |

Dosage form |
10 mg/kg, i.p. |
|
Applications |
The colitis-associated CRC (colorectal cancer) model in mice can be made by using AOM and DSS. AOM- and DSS-induced murine colorectal cancer model has a body weight dynamics. DSS administration could cause significant weight loss. |
