Objective: To observe the series of pathological changes during the development of gastric adenocarcinoma in ulcerative rats induced by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and the expression profile of related oncogenic protein.Methods: MNNG was administered in rats with ulcers due to acetic acid treatment to induce gastric cancer, and the protein expressions of ras and c-erbB2 genes in the ulcer were examined immunohistochemically along with pathological examination.Results: The incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma in the model group reaches 40% (6/15), while none of the rats developed cancer in the control group with ulcers.Positive expressions of the proteins of p21ras and c-erbB2 were observed in the tissues undergoing canceration in the 6 rats of model group, but were not observed in the 5 control rats; p53 protein expression, however, failed to be detected in both groups.Conclusion: A new animal model of gastric cancer has been established in rats with gastric ulcer after MNNG treatment, which may facilitate the pharmacological research of gastric cancer.
