摘　　要：BACKGROUND Some substances of plant origin have been reported to exert an effect in reducing intestinal neoplasm development,especially in animal models.Adenomatous polyposis coli multiple intestinal neoplasia-ApcMin/+is the most studied murine model of genetic intestinal carcinogenesis.AIM To assess whether an enriched nutritional formulation(silymarin,boswellic acid and curcumin)with proven“in vitro”and“in vivo”anti-carcinogenetic properties may prevent inherited intestinal cancer in animal model.METHODS Forty adenomatous polyposis coli multiple intestinal neoplasia-ApcMin/+mice were used for the study of cancer prevention.They were divided into two groups:20 assumed standard and 20 enriched diet.At the 110th d animals were sacrificed.In each group,four subgroups received intraperitoneal bromodeoxyuridine injection at different times(24,48,72 and 96 h before the sacrifice)in order to assess epithelial turnover.Moreover,we evaluated the following parameters:Intestinal polypoid lesion number and size on autoptic tissue,dysplasia and neoplasia areas by histological examination of the whole small intestine,inflammation by histology and cytokine mRNA expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction,bromodeoxyuridine and TUNEL immunofluorescence for epithelial turnover and apoptosis,respectively.Additionally,we performed western blotting analysis for the expression of estrogen alpha and beta receptors,cyclin D1 and cleaved caspase 3 in normal and polypoid tissues.RESULTS Compared to standard,enriched diet reduced the total number(203 vs 416)and the mean±SD/animal(12.6±5.0 vs 26.0±8.8;P<0.001)of polypoid lesions.In enriched diet group a reduction in polyp size was observed(P<0.001).Histological inflammation and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression were similar in both groups.Areas of low-grade dysplasia(P<0.001)and intestinal carcinoma(IC;P<0.001)were significantly decreased in enriched diet group.IC was observed in 100%in standard and 85%in enriched formulation assuming animals.Enriched diet showed a fast
