Abstract

used in the treatment of various tumors. Retinoic acid has potent antioxidant effects. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on CP induced cardiotoxicity.
Materials and Methods: In the study, wistar albino rats were used. Control group received single daily doses of 1 ml/kg saline and ATRA group received single daily doses of ATRA(7,5mg/kg/day) intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 10 days. ATRA+CP group received a single dose of CP(7mg/kg) i.p. on the fourth day of the 10 days of ATRA (7,5mg/kg/day) i.p. treatment. The rats in the CP group received only a single dose of cisplatin(7mg/kg) i.p. given on the 4th of 10 days of treatment. After treatment, the groups were compared based on cardiac histopathology findings.
Results: Necrosis, cytoplasmic vacuolization, congestion, hemorrhage and edema were more common in the CP group than the control group). Necrosis and cytoplasmic vacuolization in the all-trans retinoic acid + cisplatin group was observed statistically significantly less frequently than the CP group.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that cisplatin therapy had destructive effects on heart tissue, and showed that all-trans retinoic acid treatment could histopathologically prevent cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Ratlarda cisplatin kaynaklı kardiyotoksisite üzerine all-trans retinoik asidin kardiyoprotektif etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Cisplatin, pek çok farklı tümör tedavisinde kullanılan etkili bir antineoplastik ajandır. Retinoik asit güçlü antioksidan etkilere sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, all-trans retinoik asidin (ATRA) cisplatin kaynaklı kardiyotoksisite üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada wistar albino ratlar kullanıldı. Kontrol grubundaki ratlara 10 gün boyunca günlük 1 ml/kg salin intraperitoneal (i.p.) olarak verildi ve ATRA grubundaki ratlara 10 gün boyunca tek doz (7,5 mg/kg/gün) ATRA i.p. verildi. ATRA + CP grubundaki ratlara 10 gün boyunca tek doz (7,5 mg/kg/gün) ATRA i.p. ve tedavinin dördüncü gününde tek doz CP (7mg/kg) i.p. verildi. CP grubundaki ratlara ise 10 günlük tedavinin dördüncü gününde tek doz CP (7mg/kg) i.p. verildi. Tedaviden sonra gruplar kardiyak histopatoloji bulgularına göre karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Nekroz, sitoplazmik vakuolizasyon, konjesyon, kanama ve ödem cisplatin grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha yaygındı. All-trans retinoik asid + cisplatin grubunda nekroz ve sitoplazmik vakuolizasyon, CP grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak daha az gözlendi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma cisplatin tedavisinin kalp dokusu üzerinde yıkıcı etkileri olduğunu doğruladı ve all-trans retinoik asid tedavisinin histopatolojik olarak cisplatine bağlı kardiyotoksisiteyi önleyebildiğini gösterdi.
