Ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma have been implicated in growth inhibition and cell differentiation in certain malignancies. In this study, the effects of troglitazone, a PPARgamma ligand, given during the postinitiation phase of oral carcinogenesis initiated with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) were investigated in male F344 rats. Rats aged 6 weeks were given 4-NQO at 20 ppm for 8 weeks to induce tongue neoplasms. Starting 1 week after the cessation of 4-NQO exposure, animals were fed diets containing 0, 30 or 100 ppm troglitazone for 22 weeks. At the end of the study (week 32), the incidences of 4-NQO-induced tongue neoplasms and preneoplasms were determined histopathologically and cell proliferation activity was estimated by counting bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeling indices and cyclin D1-positive cell ratios. In addition, immunohistochemical expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and PPARgamma was assessed in the tongue lesions. Feeding with 100 ppm troglitazone significantly decreased the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma when compared to the group without troglitazone treatment (5.0% vs. 45.8%, P
