The first-line antituberculosis drugs, and their fixed-dose combination induced abnormal sperm morphology and histological lesions in the testicular cells of male mice. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:1023413. [PMID: 36582470 PMCID: PMC9793334 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.1023413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Rifampicin (RIF), Isoniazid (INH), Ethambutol (EMB), Pyrazinamide (PZA), and/or their fixed-dose combination (FDC) are extensively prescribed in the cure of Tuberculosis (TB) globally. In spite of the beneficial effect, these drugs are capable of inducing cellular toxicity. Existing information on the genotoxic effects of the first-line anti-TB drugs is limited and contentious. Herein, we evaluated the reproductive genotoxicity of RIF, INH, EMB, PZA, and their FDC utilizing the mouse sperm morphology assay. Histological examination of the testes of exposed mice was also performed. Male Swiss albino mice (11-13 weeks old) were intraperitoneally exposed for 5 consecutive days to each of the anti-TB drugs at four different doses of 6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg bw of PZA; 2.5, 5.0, 10, and 20 mg/kg bw of RIF; 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg bw of INH; 3.75, 7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg bw of EMB; and 7, 14, 28 and 56 mg/kg bw of FDC corresponding respectively to ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1 and ×2.0 of the standard daily dose. In comparison with the negative control (normal saline), there was no significant difference in the testicular weight and organo-somatic index of exposed mice. There was an increase (p > 0.05) in the frequency of abnormal spermatozoa at most of the tested doses of each drug and a dose-dependent decrease with the FDC. Each of the anti-TB drugs except the FDC induced pathological lesions in the testes. These findings suggest that the individual first-line anti-TB drug unlike the FDC has the potential to provoke testicular anomalies in male mice.

Abstract
Antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI) is the most common and most serious side effect of antituberculous drug therapy, which brings great challenges to drug treatment of tuberculosis. Isoniazid and rifampicin as first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs produce a variety of toxic metabolites that directly cause liver cell necrosis, and a large amount of free radicals that induce oxidative stress, leading to programmed death of liver cells such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy. Iron death is a recently discovered mode of cell death, and its role in ATB-DILI has not been fully elucidated. Blocking the pathway of hepatocyte death is an important means to treat ATB-DILI. In this paper, we discuss the mechanism and characteristics of different cell death modes in order to help identify new diagnostic markers and therapeutic drug targets.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH), being the first-line drug used as an anti-tuberculosis drug, is known to be associated with physiological deteriorations including hepatic and neurologic disturbances. This study was aimed at biochemical and behavioral characterization of toxic manifestations of isoniazid treatment in Wistar rats. Experimental animals were divided into four groups. Each group consists of six animals including the control group (saline solution), I25 group (25 mg/kg of INH), I50 group (50 mg/kg of INH), and I100 group (100 mg/kg of INH). Animals received daily INH for 30 days. Isoniazid is known to be associated with hepatotoxicity; it's among the most common causes of drug-induced toxicities. For this reason assays for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were performed to assess liver toxicity. Moreover, behavioral study, renal, and lipid parameters were also assessed in addition to histological features of the liver and brain. Significant differences in all studied parameters were seen especially in the I100 group and a marked increase in liver enzymes activities, such as AST and ALT was observed. In another hand, there were no major clinical signs in treated animals, except fatigue and anxiety in the I100 group. On the other hand, the histological findings showed potential liver and brain injury which was evidenced by degenerative changes, infiltration, and hepatocyte necrosis, in addition to the appearance of many pyramidales cells in the gyrus. The current study findings suggest that INH interacts with multiple biochemical pathways in the body what comes up by behavioral changes and liver disturbances in animals caused by INH toxicity.

Abstract
In comparison with conventional therapies, nanomedicine shows prominent clinical performance, with better therapeutic efficacy and less off-target toxicity. As an important component of nanomedicine, gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based nanodrugs have attracted considerable interest because of their excellent performance given by the unique structure. Although no pharmaceutical formulations of GNP-associated nanodrugs have been officially marketed yet, a substantial amount of research on this aspect is being carried out, producing numerous GNP-based drug delivery systems with potential clinical applications. In this review, we present an overview of our progress on GNP-based nanodrugs combined with other achievements in biomedical applications, including drug-conjugated GNPs prepared for disease treatments and specific tumour targeting, structure-efficacy relationship (SER) studies on GNP-conjugated nanodrugs, and therapeutic hybrid nanosystems composed of GNPs. In addition, we also put forward some proposals to guide future work in developing GNP-based nanomedicine. We hope that this review will offer some useful experience for our peers and GNP-based nanodrugs will be utilized in the clinic with further persistent efforts.

Abstract
The prolonged use of isoniazid (INH) - a highly effective drug in the treatment of tuberculosis - causes fatal liver injury. In order to overcome this adverse effect, a unique amide codrug was designed by covalently linking INH with sulfur-containing antioxidant- alpha-lipoic acid for possible hepatoprotective and antimycobacterial effect. Co-drug LI was prepared by Schotten Baumann reaction and was characterized by spectroscopic analysis. To check the bioreversibility of LI, in vitro release tests were conducted in buffers of specific pH, stomach, and intestinal homogenates of rat employing HPLC. Male Wistar rats were used for the evaluation of the hepatoprotective activity. Liver function markers, oxidative stress markers, and biochemical parameters were estimated. The antimycobacterial efficacy of LI was examined in terms of its ability to decrease the lung bacillary load in Balb/c mice infected intravenously with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. LI resisted hydrolysis in buffers of pH 1.2 (acidic), pH 7.4 (basic), and stomach homogenate of the rat while displayed significant hydrolysis (88.19%) in intestinal homogenates over a period of 6 h. The effect of LI on liver function, antioxidant and biochemical paradigms was remarkable as it reestablished the enzyme levels and restored hepatic cytoarchitecture representing its abrogating effect. The findings of antimycobacterial activity assessment evidently demonstrated that LI was as potent as INH in lowering the mycobacterial load in mice. The outcome of this exploration confirmed that the described co-drug can offer desirable safety and therapeutic benefit in the management of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Novel wound dressings composed of chitosan (Ch) and hyaluronan (HA) loaded with tiopronin or captopril as antiinflammatory drugs were prepared. Composite biomembranes were examined in skin wounds of ischemic rabbits with the aim to accelerate the process of healing. The results proved that the biomembranes composed of Ch/HA/tiopronin or Ch/HA/captopril facilitated healing of skin wounds compared to untreated animals and animals treated with Ch/HA membranes. These results were confirmed by histology. Cu(II) ions and ascorbate-induced high-molar-mass HA degradation by means of rotational viscometry was performed and the ability of the both drugs to scavenge reactive oxygen species was evaluated. The results showed that captopril as well as tiopronin decreased the rate of HA degradation exclusively at higher concentrations.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Oxidative stress contributes significantly to HCC pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the possible chemoprotective effect of the thiol group-containing compound, tiopronin, against HCC induced chemically by diethylnitrosamine (DENA) in rats. In addition, we elucidated the possible underlying molecular mechanism. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into: Control group, DENA-treated group and tiopronin + DENA-treated group. Liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP, albumin, total and direct bilirubin) as well as alpha fetoprotein (AFP) concentration were measured in the sera of samples. Oxidative stress biomarkers such as malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were measured in the liver tissue homogenates. Determination of the phosphorylated apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (phospho-ASK1), phospho-P38 and phospho-P53 proteins by western blotting, caspase 3 by immunofluorescence in addition to histopathological examination of the liver tissues were performed. Our results showed that tiopronin prevented the DENA-induced elevation of the liver function enzymes and AFP. It also preserved the activities of antioxidant enzymes as well as providing protection from the appearance of HCC histopathological features. Interestingly, tiopronin significantly decreased the expression level of phospho-ASK1, phospho-P38 and phospho-P53, caspase 3 in the liver tissues. These novel findings suggested that tiopronin is an antioxidant drug with a chemoprotective effect against DENA-induced HCC through maintaining the normal activity of ASK1/ P38 MAPK/ P53 signalling pathway.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose-induced hepatotoxicity is tightly associated with oxidative stress. Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) and octahydrocurcumin (OHC), the primary and final hydrogenated metabolites of curcumin (CUR), possess stronger antioxidant activity in vitro. The present study was performed to investigate the potential and mechanism of OHC and THC against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in parallel to CUR. Our results showed that OHC and THC dose-dependently enhanced liver function (ALT and AST levels) and alleviated histopathological deterioration. Besides, OHC and THC significantly restored the hepatic antioxidant status by miring level of MDA and ROS, and elevated levels of GSH, SOD, CAT and T-AOC. In addition, OHC and THC markedly suppressed the activity and expressions of CYP2E1, and bound to the active sites of CYP2E1. Moreover, OHC and THC activated the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway and enormously enhanced the translational activation of Nrf2-targeted gene (GCLC, GCLM, NQO1 and HO-1) against oxidative stress, via inhibiting the expression of Keap1 and blocking the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2. Particularly, OHC and THC exerted superior hepato-protective and antioxidant activities to CUR. In conclusion, OHC and THC possess favorable hepato-protective effect through restoring antioxidant status, inhibiting CYP2E1 and activating Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, which might represent promising antioxidants for the treatment of APAP-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. The effects of anti-TB drugs on male reproductive system have not been properly evaluated. We investigated the effects of anti-TB drugs on testicular antioxidant indices, sperm characteristics and hormonal levels in rats, and the protective role of kolaviron (KV), a biflavonoid from Garcinia kola seed. METHODS Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups and orally treated with corn oil (control), anti-TB drugs [4-Tabs=isoniazid (5 mg/kg), rifampicin (10 mg/kg), pyrazinamide (15 mg/kg) and ethambutol (15 mg/kg) in combination], anti-TB drugs +KV and KV alone (200 mg/kg). Anti-TB drugs and KV were given three times per week for 8 weeks. In vitro, reducing power, inhibition of lipid peroxidation (LPO), diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging effects of KV were examined. RESULTS KV at 10, 20, 50 and 100 μg/mL showed strong reducing potential and effectively scavenged DPPH and OH radicals in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, KV significantly inhibited LPO in rats' liver homogenate. In vivo, administration of 4-Tabs caused a significant (p<0.05) decrease in body weight gain and weight of testis of rats. Body weight gain and weight of testis decreased by 45% and 36%, respectively, in the 4-Tabs-treated rats. Also, 4-Tabs increased testicular lipid peroxidation by 82%, with a concomitant decrease in antioxidant indices. Testicular reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase decreased by 2.2-, 1.9- and 1.6-folds, respectively. Likewise, 4-Tabs markedly decreased sperm count, motility, luteinizing hormone and testosterone. Co-administration of KV with 4-Tabs normalized body weight, enhanced antioxidant system and improved sperm characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Kolaviron protects male reproductive system from oxidative damage by anti-tuberculosis drugs via the antioxidative mechanism.

Abstract
AIMS Chemical entities containing mercapto group have been increasingly attractive in the therapy of central nerve system (CNS) diseases. In the recent study, we screened a series of mercapto-tacrine derivatives with synergistic neuropharmacological profiles in vitro. METHODS We investigated the effect and mechanism of ST09, a thioester derivative of tacrine containing a potential mercapto group, on the vascular dementia (VaD) model of rat induced by bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (2-VO). RESULTS ST09 and its active metabolite ST10 retained excellent inhibition on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. ST09 significantly attenuated the 2-VO-induced impairment in spatial acquisition performance and inhibited the 2-VO-induced rise of AChE activity. In the VaD model, ST09 attenuated the oxidative stress and decreased the apoptosis in the cortex and hippocampus. Compared with donepezil, ST09 exhibited a better effect on the regeneration of free thiols in 2-VO rats. Interestingly, ST09, not donepezil, greatly improved glucose metabolism in various brain regions of 2-VO rats using functional imaging of (18) F-labeled fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). CONCLUSIONS ST09 may serve as a more promising agent for the therapy of VaD than tacrine owing to the introduction of a potential mercapto group into the parent skeleton.

Abstract
Despite its high efficacy in anti-tuberculosis therapy, the oral administration of isoniazid (INH) may lead to poor patient compliance due to hepatotoxicity events. In this context, the transdermal administration of INH was evaluated, for the first time, since this route avoids hepatic first pass effect. INH was applied to porcine skin in Franz diffusion chambers alone and with 5% menthol, limonene or Transcutol(®). Infrared and DSC analyses were selected for mechanistic studies. The transdermal absorption of INH was sufficient to ensure a systemic therapeutic effect. Menthol was not able to improve the absorption of INH, but it increased the drug accumulation in skin compared to the control (1.4-fold). Transcutol(®) reduced permeation flux of INH (2.2-fold) and also increased the amount of drug retained in skin (1.7-fold). Limonene was the most effective excipient since it increased permeation flux of INH (1.5-fold) and lag time was greatly shortened (2.8-fold). DSC and FTIR analyses of limonene-treated skin suggest higher degree of disorder in lipid bilayers. Transdermal delivery of INH was positively correlated with logP of chemical enhancers. INH can be efficiently delivered by skin route and specific excipients may be selected depending on intended use.

Abstract
Sex-based differences in the pharmacological profiles of many drugs are due in part to the female-predominant expression of CYP3A4, which is the most important CYP isoform responsible for drug metabolism. Transcription factors trigger the sexually dimorphic expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in response to sex-dependent growth hormone (GH) secretion. We investigated the roles of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα in the regulation of human female-predominant CYP3A4, mouse female-specific CYP3A41, and rat male-specific CYP3A2 expression by GH secretion patterns using HepG2 cells, growth hormone receptor (GHR) knockout mice as well as rat models of orchiectomy and hypophysectomy. The constitutive expression of HNF6 and RXRα was GH-dependent, and GHR deficiency decreased HNF6/C/EBPα complex levels and increased HNF6/RXRα complex levels. Feminine GH secretion induced the binding of HNF6 and C/EBPα to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/C/EBPα complex levels was more efficiently compared with masculine pattern. Additionally, a greater inhibition of the binding of RXRα to the CYP3A4 and Cyp3a41 promoters and HNF6/RXRα complex levels was observed by feminine GH secretion, but less inhibition was observed by masculine pattern. The binding of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα to the CYP3A2 promoter was not directly regulated by androgens. RXRα completely abolished the synergistic activation of the CYP3A4, Cyp3a41, and CYP3A2 promoters by HNF6 and C/EBPα. The results demonstrate that sex-dependent GH secretion patterns affect the expressions and interactions of HNF6, C/EBPα, and RXRα as well as their binding to CYP3A genes. RXRα mediates the sex-dependent influence of GH on CYP3A expression as an important signalling molecule.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the protective effect of isoniazid–curcumin conjugate (INH–CRM) in INH-induced hepatic injury by biochemical analysis and histology examination of liver in Wistar rats. The biochemical analysis included determination of the levels of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), albumin content, and lipid peroxidation (MDA). INH–CRM administration resulted in a significant decrease in plasma cholesterol, TG, and MDA levels in the liver tissue homogenate with an elevation in albumin level indicating its hepatoprotective activity. Histology of the liver further confirmed the reduction in hepatic injury. The hepatoprotective with INH–CRM can be attributed to the antioxidant activity of curcumin. The conjugate probably stabilizes the curcumin molecule, preventing its presystemic metabolism thereby enhancing its bioavailability and therefore, its hepatoprotective activity. Thus, the novel INH–CRM has the potential to alleviate INH-induced liver toxicity in antitubercular treatment.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that brain cytochrome P450 (CYP) can contribute to the in situ metabolism of xenobiotics. In the liver, some xenobiotics can be metabolized by CYPs into more reactive products that can damage hepatocytes and induce cell death. In addition, normal CYP activity may produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that contribute to cell damage through oxidative mechanisms. CYP2E1 is a CYP isoform that can generate ROS leading to cytotoxicity in multiple tissue types. The aim of this study was to determine whether CYP2E1 induction may lead to significant brain cell impairment. Immunological analysis revealed that exposure of primary cerebellar granule neuronal cultures to the CYP inducer isoniazid, increased CYP2E1 expression. In the presence of buthionine sulfoximine, an agent that reduces glutathione levels, isoniazid treatment also resulted in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, DNA oxidation and cell death. These effects were attenuated by simultaneous exposure to diallyl sulfide, a CYP2E1 inhibitor, or to a mimetic of superoxide dismutase/catalase, (Euka). These results suggest that in cases of reduced antioxidant levels, the induction of brain CYP2E1 could represent a risk of in situ neuronal damage.

Abstract
Collectively, the various classes of antibiotics are a leading cause of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, acute antibiotic-associated DILI can be difficult to diagnose, as the course of therapy is usually brief, and other confounding factors are often present. In addition to the broad clinicopathologic spectrum of hepatotoxicity associated with the antimicrobials, the underlying infectious disease being treated may itself be associated with hepatic dysfunction and jaundice. This review provides summarized information on several classes of antimicrobial agents, highlighting new agents causing DILI and updating information on older agents.

Abstract
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of a herbal composition of Semen Hoveniae, Radix Puerariae and Fructus Schisandrae (SRF) against acute alcoholic intoxication. The animals were treated with SRF extract (SRFE) for 14 days, and ethanol was conducted subsequent to the final treatment. The effects of SRFE on righting reflex, inebriety rates, kinetic parameters of blood ethanol and acetaldehyde were determined. In addition; levels of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), the activities of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), selected antioxidative enzymes, and the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA) were measured. SRFE-pretreated rodents exhibited lower rates of intoxication, longer times to loss of righting reflex, and shortened times to recovery of righting reflex than in controls. The peak concentrations and area under the time-concentration curves were lower in the pretreated animals than in controls, which corresponded to higher levels of ADH and ALDH in both gastrointestines and livers of the SRFE-treated animals. The activities of CYP2E1 were lower in SRFE-pretreated animals, which also exhibited higher activities of some antioxidant enzymes and lower hepatic MDA levels. These findings suggest that the anti-inebriation effects of SRFE may involve inhibition of ethanol absorption, promotion of ethanol metabolism, and enhancing hepatic anti-oxidative functions.

Abstract
AIM To study the protective effects of tiopronin against high fat diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in rats. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a high-fat diet for 10 weeks. The rats were administered tiopronin (20 mg/kg) or a positive control drug ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA, 15 mg/kg) via gavage daily from week 5 to week 10. After the rats were sacrificed, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), free fatty acids (FFA), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and liver homogenate FFA, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured using commercial analysis kits. The expression levels of CYP2E1 mRNA and protein were determined using RT-PCR and immunoblot assays, respectively. RESULTS Tiopronin significantly lowered both the serum ALT and AST levels, while only the serum ALT level was lowered by UDCA. Tiopronin significantly decreased the serum and liver levels of TG, TC and FFA as well as the serum LDL-C level, and increased the serum HDL-C level, while UDCA decreased the serum and liver TC levels as well as the serum LDL-C level, but did not change the serum levels of TG, FFA and HDL-C. Tiopronin apparently ameliorated the hepatocyte degeneration and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the livers, but UDCA did not affect the pathological features of the livers. Both tiopronin and UDCA ameliorated the mitochondrial abnormality in the livers. The benefits of tiopronin were associated with increased SOD and GSH-Px activities, and with decreased MDA activity and CYP2E1 expression in the livers. CONCLUSION Tiopronin exerts protective effects against non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in rats, which may be associated with its antioxidant properties and regulation of lipid metabolism.

Abstract
The necessity to minimize adverse effects of tuberculosis chemotherapy requires a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of antituberculosis drugs on the reproductive system and testicular cell macromolecules. The epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in Central and Eastern Europe is getting worse. Data on adverse effects of antituberculosis drugs are scare concerning particularly their effects on the reproductive system. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential effect of ethambutol, rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide co-administration on lipid peroxidation, glutathione content and protein SH-groups, DNA fragmentation levels, the reproductive capacity of Wistar male rats and the antenatal development of their posterity. The rats (150-170 g) were divided into two groups: group I - received antituberculosis drugs suspended in 1% starch gel per os: ethambutol - 155 mg/kg b.w./day, rifampicin - 74.4 mg/kg b.w./day, isoniazid - 62 mg/kg b.w./day, pyrazinamide - 217 mg/kg b.w./day, group II (control) - received only starch gel in corresponding volumes. The contents of TBA-active compounds, glutathione and protein SH-groups in testis and sperm were determined spectrophotometrically, the DNA-fragmentation was determined using an UV transilluminator (BIORAD, USA), reproductive system indices were measured by standard methods. The co-administration of therapeutic doses of ethambutol, isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide to male rats during the period of spermatogenesis caused an increase in the rate of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances formation in testis and sperm, decrease of testis glutathione and protein SH-group contents, significant changes in DNA fragmentation, fatal decrease of male fertilizing capacity and fertility, and increase of pre- and post-implantation embryo lethality. The changes in reproductive indices could be the result of direct or indirect effects of one or more drugs investigated.

Abstract
To investigate the hepatoprotective activity of Asparagus racemosus against isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity in male albino rats. Rats ( n = 6 per group)were divided into four groups: saline-treated control, saline-treated control with A. racemosus extract (50 mg/kg), isoniazid treatment alone (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal [i.p.]), and isoniazid– A. racemosus extract (50 mg/kg)administered orally as cotreatment. Animals were treated for 21 days and euthanized 1 h after the last drug administration. Evaluated body weight, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, g-glutamyl transferase, total protein, albumin, hepatic malondialdehyde content, superoxide dismutase, catalase, cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1)activity and glutathione (GSH). A. racemosus extract prevented isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity, indicated by both diagnostic indicators of liver damage, liver functional profile, significantly ( p < 0.05)inhibited CYP2E1 activity, markedly attenuated oxidative stress by improved enzymatic, non-enzymatic antioxidants levels and mitigate malondialdehyde, lipid hydroperoxide significantly ( p < 0.05). These results suggest that A. racemosus extract exerts its hepatoprotective activity by inhibiting the production of free radicals and acts as a scavenger, reducing the free radical generation via inhibition of hepatic CYP2E1 activity, increasing the removal of free radicals through the induction of antioxidant enzymes and improving non-enzymatic thiol antioxidant GSH.

Precision-cut hamster liver slices as an ex vivo model to study amoebic liver abscess. Exp Parasitol 2010; 126:117-25. [PMID: 20412797 DOI: 10.1016/j.exppara.2010.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2010] [Revised: 03/22/2010] [Accepted: 04/12/2010] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of amoebiasis, the second cause of global morbidity and mortality due to parasitic diseases in humans. In approximately 1% of the cases, amoebas penetrate the intestinal mucosa and spread to other organs, producing extra-intestinal lesions, among which amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is the most common. To study ALA, in vivo and in vitro models are used. However, animal models may pose ethical issues, and are time-consuming and costly; and cell cultures represent isolated cellular lineages. The present study reports the infection of precision-cut hamster liver slices with Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites. The infection time-course, including tissue damage, parallels findings previously reported in the animal model. At the same time amoebic virulence factors were detected in the infected slices. This new model to study ALA is simple and reproducible, and employs less than 1/3 of the hamsters required for in vivo analyses.
