N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN), a carcinogen, is used to induce histiologically relevant aggressive urinary bladder cancer in animal models.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Carcinogen used to induce urinary bladder cancer in animal models. The result of exposure is histologically comparable to human urinary bladder tumorigenesis. Used in chemopreventative studies.
Packaging
Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.
Caution
Injecting any compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure.
Reconstitution
Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 1% solution.

We previously reported that the expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) was upregulated in invasive bladder cancers and that the small peptide T140 was a highly sensitive antagonist for CXCR4. In this study, we identified that CXCR4 expression was induced

In the present study, effects of L-leucine and L-isoleucine on rat bladder carcinogenesis were investigated using AIN-93G and MF basal diet. In Experiment 1, N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine was used as an initiator of bladder carcinogenesis. In the AIN-93G diet groups, a significantly
The present gold standard for bladder cancer is Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy, but serious side-effects are common. We previously reported that C3H/HeN mice vaccinated with a mixture of MBT-2 cells and artificial BCG, octaarginine-modified liposomes incorporating the cell

Men are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer than women. Since bladder cancer cell lines and tissues were found to express the androgen receptor, efforts have been made to inspect whether androgen-mediated androgen receptor signals are implicated in
Bladder cancer is one of the few cancers that have been linked to carcinogens in the environment and tobacco smoke. Of the carcinogens tested in mouse chemical carcinogenesis models, N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) is one that reproducibly causes high-grade, invasive cancers in
