Our previous study (Cancer Res., 60: 3323-3327, 2000) showed that frequent beta-catenin gene mutations are present in beta-catenin-accumulated crypts, which occur early in rodent colonic carcinogenesis, with a lack of the appearance of aberrant crypt foci (ACF). To clarify the nature of such lesions, we performed a sequential analysis of the morphological and biological properties of beta-catenin-accumulated crypts. Azoxymethane was administered s.c. to male F344 rats (15 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 3 weeks, and the animals were sacrificed at 5, 10, and 20 weeks after the carcinogen treatment. Both the number of crypts/lesion and the diameter of beta-catenin-accumulated crypts were significantly increased with time courses of 5, 10, and 20 weeks from carcinogen exposure (P < 0.01). Likewise, the histological abnormality in those crypts, assessed by semiquantitative analyses, was also increased with time (P < 0.01). Conversely, ACF did not show any increase in histological abnormality during the time course and maintained a monotonous histology throughout the experiment. The histological abnormality score for beta-catenin-accumulated crypts was significantly higher than for ACF at every time point (P < 0.001). The number of AgNOR/nucleus in beta-catenin-accumulated crypts was significantly higher than in ACF (P < 0.001). Beta-catenin-accumulated crypts were accompanied frequently by Paneth cells and had decreased hexosaminidase activity. Such data, together with the results in our previous report, strongly suggest that beta-catenin-accumulated crypts, which are independent of ACF, are truly premalignant lesions for colon cancer.
