Consumption of argemone oil (AO) contaminated edible oil causes "Epidemic Dropsy". Previously, we have shown that AD and isolated sanguinarine possess genotoxicity and skin tumor initiating activity. Here, we evaluate tumor-promoting potential of AO/sanguinarine alkaloid and investigate the molecular mechanisms involved therein. Single topical application of AO (50-400 mu l/mouse) or sanguinarine alkaloid (1.5-12.0 mu mol/mouse) afforded significant increase in (i) ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, (ii) uptake of [H-3]-thymidine in DNA, (iii) cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and ODC protein expressions, (iv) phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, c-jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK)1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, (v) increased NF-kappa B activation and (vi) no significant increase in dark basal keratinocytes. Subsequently, when AD and sanguinarine alkaloid was tested either as complete or stage I or stage II tumor promoter in 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-initiated mice, there was enhanced tumor incidence, tumor body burden and higher % of mice with tumors, when AO (0.1 ml) or isolated sanguinarine (1.5 mu mol) was tested as stage II tumor promoter. However, no tumors were found when AO or sanguinarine alkaloid was tested either as complete or stage I tumor promoter. These results indicate that AO/ sanguinarine alkaloid possesses tumor-promoting potential at stage II level involving MAPK/NF-kappa B pathway. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
