چکیده

Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with carcinogenic and toxic effects. Doxorubicin is a DNA-interacting drug widely used in chemotherapy. In the present study we investigated the effects of doxorubicin on rats that received benzo(a)pyrene. Sprague-Dawley male rats, 3-4 months old, were divided into 5 groups (n=9 per group). Group 1 (controls) received normal saline intraperitoneally (i.p.) and intragastrically (i.g.), Group 2 (controls) similarly received corn oil i.p. and i.g., Group 3 received corn oil soluble benzo(a)pyrene (10mg/kg b.wt every 10 days for 40 days), Group 4 received doxorubicin (4 mg i.p. on 3 consecutive days), Group 5 received doxorubicin for 3 days (as in group 4) followed by benzo(a)pyrene as in group 3. After twenty-four hours urine samples were collected, heart blood, liver and kidney tissue samples were obtained. Biochemical data were evaluated on urine and blood; liver and kidney tissue samples were investigated histologically. Uric acid, urine creatinine, creatine clearance, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine values, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT, AST), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT, ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP, AP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly different in the 3rd group compared with control groups. Most of the parameters group 5 were statistically similar to control values. Histological appearance of the liver and the kidney tissue samples supported the improvement in the 5th group. The result of our study indicated that liver and kidney functions impaired with benzo(a)pyrene may be partially restored by doxorubicin.

Biomarkers for individual susceptibility to carcinogenic agents: excretion and carcinogenic risk of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites.

In rats exposed to a single intraperitoneal dose of 200 mg/kg of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BP) in sunflower oil, significant individual variations in excretion of the BP activation (BP-7,8-diol) and deactivation (3-OH-BP) derivatives were found. Most rats developed peritoneal sarcomas. Only the levels of BP-7,8-diol excreted in the urine correlated directly with the latency o...

Benzo(e)pyrene-induced Alterations in the Metabolic Activation of Benzo(a)pyrene and 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene by Hamster Embryo Cells1

Benzo(e)pyrene (BeP) is a cocarcinogen with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and an anticarcinogen with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) in mouse skin initiation-promotion assays (Slaga, T. J., Jecker, L., Bracken, W. M. and Weeks C. E. Cancer Lett. 7: 51-59, 1979). We have investigated the effects of BeP on the metabolic activation of BaP and DMBA in early-passage cultures of Syrian hamster embryo ce...
