Abstrakt: APCmin/++ mice, carrying a nonsense mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, appear as a perfect model to study development or therapy of intestinal neoplasia. We tested whether the flavonoid flavone is able to affect adenoma development in APCmin/++ mice. Tumor sizes were significantly increased by flavone selectively in small intestine. This was associated with reduced cell numbers displaying cleaved caspase-3 and enhanced expression of phosphoglycoprotein (P-gp). However, according to great variability in P-gp expression in all parts of mice intestines, an association between expression of P-gp and inhibition of apoptosis was demonstrated in human Caco-2 colorectal cancer cells.
