Conclusion
All of the rat's colon showing chronic inflammation that led to the tumorigenesis.
Methods
Colon tissue of three groups of 4 rats that induced using 1,2 dimethylhydrazine (DMH) at 30 mg/kg bw every week for 9, 11, and 13 weeks were used. The M1 and M2 distribution was examined by using antibody anti iNOS for M1 and anti-CD163 for M2 with immunohistochemistry method. The data was presents in figure and table in the form of percentage. Result: M1 macrophage was found in all groups in the low distribution level (25% - 50%), while M2 macrophage was observed in all groups with 100% distribution. In the longer period of DMH induction, M2 macrophages was distributed more abundant.
Objective
The aim of this study is to examine the M1 and M2 macrophages distribution in the rat's colon of DMH-induced inflammation associated colorectal cancer.
