| خلاصه مقاله | kidney protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of capparis spinosa seeds against cisplatin nehrotoxicity: invivo study
Background and Aim: Capparis spinosa have high amounts
of bioactive antioxidant components and is an important
therapeutic plant in Persian medicine. Therefore the current study aimed to evaluate nephroprotective effects
of Capparis spinose seeds hydroalcoholic extract against
cisplatin(anticancer drug) induced nephrotoxicity in vivo
Methods: Capparis spinosas whole ripe fruits from the
Moghan province of Iran were collected. Herbarium confirmation of the plant species was obtained from Shahid
Beheshti pharmacology faculty lab. Seeds of fruit were
extracted. Powder prepared from seeds by grinder and
dissolved in ethanol and water with a 70/30 concentration ratio, preserved at room temperature. 20 male
Sprague Dawley rats with weights 220±20 gr in 4 groupswere assessed: Control group, cisplatin single dose 7
mg/kg intraperitoneally injected group, and 2 treatment
groups with cisplatin 7 mg/kg IP single dose and different doses and of treatment by extract (50 and 100 mg/kg
of extract for 1 day post-treatment group). Results were
analyzed by ANOVA statistical method.
Results: Serum creatinine mean level from 0.33 mg/dl in
the control group increased to 1.84 mg/dl in the cisplatin
group. But, the result was not significant (p<0.06). The
mean serum creatinine level in groups treated with cisplatin in addition, 50 and 100 mg/kg CSE for one day was
1.43 mg/dl and 1.59 mg/dl respectively p<0.6 and p<0.7.
SOD levels in the sham group were 1.65 IU/mg while
cisplatin decreased its amount to 1.23 IU/mg treatment
could increase SOD levels, although non-significantly.
Kidney tissue GPX and TAC levels in the cisplatin group
decreased compared to sham, whereas treatment with
CSE could reverse these effects non-significantly. Kidney
tissue IL-6 level as an essential inflammatory index evaluated in study groups. A significant increase was observed
in cisplatin group 1344.88 pg/mL compared to sham
1176.52 pg/mL CSE treating in groups which received
cisplatin then treated with 100 mg/kg of extract BID for
1 day lowered IL-6 level as 1023.01±380.84 significantly.
P<0.01 The mean level of kidney tissue IL-?1 mean levels
were increased from 234.76 pg/mL in the control group
to 298.76 pg/mL in the cisplatin group. Also, IL-?1 mean
level was 256.46 pg/mL in the group that received CSE.
100 mg/kg for one day. P<0.13 TNF-? means level in the
sham group was 49.38 pg/mL and increased to 84.80 pg/
mL in the cisplatin group. The mean of TNF-? in the group
treated with cisplatin and CSE 100 mg/kg for one day decreased to 64.36 pg/Ml. P<0.13
Conclusion: protective effects of the extract lowering
serum creatinine , anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory
492 1 st National Congress of PERSIAN MEDICINEeffects of CSE were seen in the kidney tissue. In this research study, Good nephroprotective effects were seen
in post-treatment groups by CSE esspesialy with 100 mg/
kg doses.Capparis spinosa is an ancient therapeutic plant
which could be used for kidney protection in patients
with AKI. However clinical studies are needed to detect
the proper doses of therapeutic and for commercial
products preparations.
