Abstract
Hepatic fibrosis is a worldwide health problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no effective therapy for hepatic fibrosis. The present study was aimed to evaluate the possible regenerative effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatic damage. Eighty albino rats were included; 40 were used for PRP preparation and 40 were randomly divided into 4 groups: group I (control group); group II (PRP control); group III (TAA-intoxicated by a dose of 200 mg/kg body mass, intraperitoneally, twice weekly for 7 weeks), and group IV (TAA intoxicated + PRP treated). Macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) were immunoassayed in addition to peroxinitrite level, NADPH-quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) enzyme activity, and liver function. PRP treatment showed significant improvement in hepatic function, and decreased MIP-1α and peroxinitrite levels. Meanwhile, significant increase in NQO1 enzyme activity and cAMP level were observed. The histopathological results confirmed the laboratory results with improvement of hepatic architecture except for some inflammatory cellular infiltrates. This study shows that PRP has the ability to protect against TAA-induced liver damage, possibly by improving redox status, liver histopathological architecture, and disruption of the inflammatory and fibrotic response induced by TAA.
