Protective effects of deferasirox and N-acetyl-L-cysteine on iron overload-injured bone marrow

چکیده
Using an iron overload mouse model, we explored the protective effect of deferasirox (DFX) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) on injured bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) induced by iron overload. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 25 mg iron dextran every 3 days for 4 weeks to establish an iron overload (Fe) model. DFX or NAC were co-administered with iron dextran in two groups of mice (Fe+DFX and Fe+NAC), and the function of HSPCs was then examined. Iron overload markedly decreased the number of murine HSPCs in bone marrow. Subsequent colony-forming cell assays showed that iron overload also decreased the colony forming capacity of HSPCs, the effect of which could be reversed by DFX and NAC. The bone marrow hematopoiesis damage caused by iron overload could be alleviated by DFX and NAC.

Effects of Iron Overload on the Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Mice
OBJECTIVE Using a mouse model, Iron Overload (IO) induced bone marrow microenvironment injury was investigated, focusing on the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODS Mice were intraperitoneally injected with iron dextran (12.5, 25, or 50 mg) every three days for two, four, and six week durations. Deferasirox(DFX)125 mg/ml and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) 40 mM were co-administere...

متن کاملDeferasirox in Chelation Naive Children with Transfusional Iron Overload in Basra, Iraq: A Two-Year Single Center Study
Background: Effective management of iron overload in patients receiving long-term blood transfusion requires assessment and monitoring of both severity of iron overload and excessive iron chelation. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Deferasirox (DFX) in chelation naive patients with transfusion dependent thalassemia and sickle cell disease. Methods: Chelation naive patients with ...

Intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i dysregulation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of iron overload cardiomyopathy. Although either iron chelators or antioxidants provide cardioprotection, a comparison of the efficacy of deferoxamine (DFO), deferiprone (DFP), deferasirox (DFX), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or a combination of DFP plus NAC on cardiac [Ca2+]i homeostasis in chronic iron overlo...
