Abstract

Omurilik yaralanması (SCI), omurganın ciddi yaralanmalarından sonra ortaya çıkan kritik bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu çalışmada Tarantula cubensis ekstraktının akut dönemdeki olası etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Sıçan travma modeli için 28 Sprague dawley kullanıldı. Tüm ratlar 4 gruba ayrıldı (n=7): Kontrol, hasar grubu (IG), prednizolon tedavisi (PG) ve Tarantula cubensis ekstraktı tedavisi (TCG). Kontrol grubu dışındaki tüm ratlara laminektomi uygulandı ve spinal korda 60 saniye anevrizma klempi uygulandı. Klinik iyileştirme değerlendirmesi, BBB (Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan Locomotor Rating Scale), histopatolojik (inflamatuar yanıt, nöron canlılığı) ve biyokimyasal değerlendirmede için 8- hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), myeloperoxidase (MPO), transforming growth faktör beta 1 (TGF β-1), tümor Nekroz Faktör Alfa (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2) değerlendirildi. Histopatolojik değerlendirmelere göre; TCG grubunda IG grubuna oranla daha az hasar ve inflamasyon gözlendi. TCG ve PG arasında istatistiksel olarak benzerlik vardı (p=0.005). BBB skoru TCG değerleri PG ve IG’ye göre yüksek bulundu. Laminektomi yapılan sıçanlarda MPO düzeyi TCG’de IG ve PG'den anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu (p=0.001). Antiinflamatuvar bir sitokin olan TGF β-1 (ng-l) TCG’de en yüksek seviyesinde ölçüldü (p=0.001). TNF-α (ng-l) seviyeleri TCG, PG ve IG'de kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti. Ancak kendi aralarında anlamlı bulunmamışlardır. IL-2 (ng-l) düzeyleri TCG, PG’de IG grubuna göre azalmıştı (p=0.05). Sonuç olarak; Tarantula cubensis ekstraktının antiinflamatuar aktivite göstererek omurilik dokusunda nöroprotektif etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Effects of Tarantula cubensis Extract on Experimental Acute Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical health problem that occurs after spinal trauma. In this study, the possible effects of Tarantula cubensis extract in the acute period were evaluated. For the rat trauma model, 28 Sprague dawley rats were used. All rats were divided into 4 groups (n=7); Control, injury (IG), prednisolone treatment (PG), and Tarantula cubensis extract treatment (TCG). Laminectomy was applied to all rats except the control group, and an aneurysm clamp was applied to the spinal cord for 60 seconds. BBB (Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan Locomotor Rating Scale) for clinical improvement assessment, histopathological (inflammatory response, neuron viability), and the amount of biochemical parameters 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), myeloperoxidase (MPO), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF β-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 2 (IL-2) were evaluated. According to histopathological evaluations; less damage and inflammation were observed in the TCG group compared to the IG group. There was a statistical similarity between TCG and PG (p=0.005) BBB score TCG values were higher than PG and IG rats. MPO level was found to be significantly lower than TCG group IG and PG in laminectomy rats (p=0.001). TGF β-1 (ng-l), which is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, was measured at the highest level of TCG (p=0.001). TNF-α (ng-l) levels were higher in TCG, PG, and IG compared to the control group. IL-2 (ng-l) levels were decreased in TCG, PG, and control groups compared to the IG group (p=0.05). Tarantula cubensis extract has been determined neuroprotective effect by showing anti-inflammatory activity.
