Nitrochin (4-NQO) (100 μg/mL; treated for 4 days) is used to treat normal human esophageal tissue. The results show that the number of senescent cells positive for oncostatin-M (OSM) in the treated tissue increases, the expression of OSM and its downstream target Stat3 significantly increases, while the expression of OSMR shows no change after treatment[1].
Nitrochin (0.4-6 μM; 12-72 h) decreases the viability of KB cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner[1].
Nitrochin (0.5-2.0 μM; treated for 12 hours) is used to treat KB cells. The results show that the apoptotic rate of cells gradually increases with the increase of Nitrochin dosage, and the cell viability decreases in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Nitrochin (2.0 μM; 2-12 h) shows that the expression level of p53 in KB cells increases significantly. The expression of Bax gradually increases, while the expression of Bcl-2 continuously decreases. The activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 are enhanced. The activity of caspase-3 reaches the maximum at 6 h and then decreases to some extent. DNA fragmentation starts at 6 h. The cell cycle is arrested in the G1 phase, and the expression level of p21Waf1/Cip1 gradually increases with the treatment time[2].

Result:Luciferase positive senescent cells were detected in the esophagus, particularly at the gastrointestinal junction. And esophageal cancer was detected in the same regions where senescent cells were identified.
Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Nitrochin (200 μg/mL) induces oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in mice. An 8-week exposure yields tumors in 57% of mice by week 20, an effect boosted to 100% by Arecoline co-administration[3][4].A 20-week exposure drives universal and aggressive disease: tumors and lymph node enlargement emerge from week 25, with metastasis confirmed by weeks 28-36, culminating in 100% incidence of both primary and metastatic cancer by weeks 33-40[6].
In Wistar rats, a 20-week oral exposure to Nitrochin (50 ppm) is required to induce invasive tongue squamous cell carcinoma, achieving a 70% success rate[5].
Nitrochin (100 μg/mL) induces esophageal carcinogenesis in mice after a 16-week exposure[6][7][8].

The ESCC mouse model was induced by feeding with Nitrochin (4-NQO) (drinking water; 100 μg/mL; 16 weeks). H&E-stained images of esophageal tissues from mice at 16, 30, and 32 weeks during the modeling period were obtained. By the 30th week, the esophageal epithelial structure became disordered, with cellular atypia, indicating the formation of intraepithelial neoplasia.
