To evaluate transferrin receptor overexpression in murine gastric cancer models induced by human-associated risk factors and assess a targeted fluorescent diagnostic probe.
BALB/c mice were exposed to three induction regimens: N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) with high dietary salt, Helicobacter pylori infection alone, or H. pylori followed by MNU and high salt.
Gastric tissues were evaluated with hematoxylin and eosin histological staining, and transferrin receptor expression was tracked using transferrin-conjugated cadmium sulfide quantum dot probes.
Mice receiving H. pylori infection followed by MNU and high salt exhibited the highest cancer incidence rate of 96%.
Transferrin receptor expression was markedly elevated in cancer-induced gastric tissue relative to normal tissue, with the highest expression occurring in the triple-induction cohort.
