[Influence of sodium selenite on carcinogenesis of the prostate and other organs induced by methylnitrosourea and testosterone in rats].

Influence of selenium on induced carcinogenesis of the prostate and other organs was studied in male Wistar rats. Carcinogenesis was induced (68) by using our modification of a combined double-stage model including surgical castration, single administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and long-term promotion by a mix of testosterone ethers (MTE). Seven days after MNU injection the rats were randomized to form 2 groups. Controls were fed drinking water while the study group - water containing sodium selenite 4mg/l, daily - till the end of the experiment. Controls (12) were not exposed to any treatment. They were followed up for 55 weeks until sacrificed. Apparent benign prostatic hyperplasia developed in rats subjected to castration, MNU and MTE. Also, such precancerous lesions as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and prostate cancer including metastatic one were detected. Malignant lymphoma, other than in target tissues, was the most frequent. Prostate pathological changes and lymphomas were not registered in intact rats. Unlike rats treated with MNU and MTE and fed untreated drinking water, selenium did not influence significantly the development of prostate intraepithelial neoplasia but reduced multiplicity of prostate cancer by 44.6%. Simultaneously, the incidence of induced malignant lymphomas decreased by 26.4%.
