- Paper Abstract
- Cisplatin is one of the most potent anti-cancer drugs used for the treatment of various solid tumors, yet it has several side effects that may limit its clinical use. Hepatotoxicity is one of the most serious side effects as it may lead to liver failure. Several mechanisms including oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis have been examined in cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity. Protocatechuic acid (Proto) which is naturally occurring phenolic acid has shown different biological activity as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic. In this study, we investigate the protective effect of Proto at two doses 100 and 150 mg/kg on hepatotoxicity induced by a single injection of 10 mg/kg cisplatin in female albino mice. The present study demonstrates for the first time that Proto administration (100 and 150 mg/Kg) significantly attenuates cisplatin-induced changes in liver function [increase serum albumin and decrease liver injury markers ALT, AST, GGT, and bilirubin]. This was associated with marked hepatic antioxidant effects [decrease MDA and NO levels, increase GSH and SOD activity]. Moreover, Proto reduced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in the liver through decreasing caspase-3, annexin-V, and BAX. Both doses suppressed cisplatin-induced expression of iNOS and NF-KB p65 subunit and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-alpha). Also, Proto improved histopathological examination of the liver. The present findings reveal that the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects of Proto are the main mechanisms by which Proto can ameliorate cisplatin-induced liver injury.
