hydro-alcoholic extract of raphanus sativus l. var niger attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via decreasing transforming growth factor β1 level
نویسندگان
چکیده
pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease of the lungs, which leads to death in human. it has been suggested that transforming growth factor beta 1 (tgf-β1) together with oxidative stress play a central role in the pathogenesis of the ailment. the objective of this study was to evaluate the possible curative effects of black radish, raphanus sativus l . var niger (rsn) on bleomycine (blm) -induced pulmonary fibrosis in a rat model. in this study, thirty-six male wistar rats were divided into six groups, including: (i) positive (blm) control group, (ii) negative (normal saline) control group, (iii) sham group ( r. sativus extract 150 mg/kg), and (iv-vi) treatment groups. in order to induce pulmonary fibrosis, four groups were treated with a single dose of blm sulfate (7.5 u/kg) through intratracheal instillation. treatment groups (iv-vi) received rsn extract (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg) orally a week before and two weeks after the administration of blm. at the end of the treatment course, blood and lung tissue samples were taken and the measurement of tgf-β1 and histopathological examination of the lung tissues performed. the results showed that rsn, at 300 mg/kg dose, could significantly decrease the serum level of tgf-β1 and severity of the histological lesions as compared to the positive control group. the results of the current study indicate that the components present in the extract can remarkably prevent the aggravation of pulmonary fibrosis via decreasing tgf-β1 level.

متن کاملBeneficial effects of N-acetylcysteine on protease-antiprotease balance in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats
Objective(s): The role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an anti-oxidant in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis has been reported. However, its effect on parenchymal remodeling via regulating the protease-antiprotease balance is not fully defined. Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the possible role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue i...
متن کاملIL-12 attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Interleukin (IL)-12 is a potent inducer of interferon (IFN)-gamma. We postulated that IL-12 would attenuate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. To test this hypothesis, we administered IL-12 or murine serum albumin to bleomycin-treated mice by daily intraperitoneal injection until day 12. Mice treated with IL-12 demonstrated decreased hydroxyproline levels compared with control treated mice. ...

BACKGROUND Baicalin has been reported to have anti-fibrosis effect; however, its mechanism still remains to be elucidated. Adenosine A2a receptor (A2aR) is a novel inflammation regulator, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced extracellular signal regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway plays an important role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study was to explore ...

Background & Aims: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic diffuse interstitial lung disease, which has symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath. The average survival duration in these patients is estimated as 3 years after the onset of symptoms. Today, the therapeutic approach used in IPF cases is the usage of chemical or herbal antioxidants in order to elim...
