In a subsequent study of bladder chemoprevention in Nrf2-ko mice, which used N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) in the drinking water to initiate carcinogenesis, it was found that feeding wildtype mice an oltipraz-containing diet a week before exposing them to BBN for 8 weeks, with oltipraz treatment for the duration of the experiment, reduced the incidence of urinary bladder cancer to approx. 50% in wildtype mice, but this protection was not afforded to Nrf2-ko mice treated in an identical manner [91]. Here, NFE2L2 is linked to urinary bladder cancer.
