2-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) was administered to 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-treated mice to reduce colonic polyamine levels and mucosal hyperplasia. Mice received 1% DFMO in drinking water throughout the experiment and were given injections of DMH (20 mg/kg) weekly for 28 weeks. DFMO inactivated 93% of colonic ornithine decarboxylase activity. Although DMH treatment did not induce colonic ornithine decarboxylase activity by Week 28, the putrescine content was increased 31% in DMH-treated mice (p less than 0.01). Concurrent treatment with DFMO depressed putrescine content (42 to 63%) and spermidine content (27 to 38%), but it increased spermine content (18 to 22%). At Week 28 of treatment with DMH alone, RNA content was increased 8.6% (p less than 0.01), DNA content 10% (p less than 0.01), DNA specific activity 24% (p less than 0.01), and crypt depth 20% (p less than 0.01), but not in mice receiving DMH and DFMO. At 28 weeks, 13 of 17 mice (76%) treated with DMH alone had histologically confirmed colon cancers; of mice treated with DMH and DFMO, two of 18 (11%) had colonic tumors. Throughout the experiment, 50 colon cancers developed in 16 DMH-treated mice (mean, 3.12 tumors/mouse); three mice treated with DMH and DFMO developed three colon cancers total (p less than 0.001). Reduction of colonic polyamine levels after DFMO treatment prevents proliferative changes induced by DMH and reduces the incidence of tumors.
