abstract

objective: doxorubicin (dox) is an effective anticancer drug but its clinical application is limited because it induces apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and leads to permanent degenerative cardiomyopathy and heart failure possibly due to oxidative stress. recent studies showed that capparis spinosa (c. spinose)exhibits potent antioxidant activity. so, in this study, we explored the protective effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of c. spinosa against dox-induced cytotoxicity in h9c2 cells. materials and methods: cell viability was quantified by mtt assay. apoptotic cells were determined using flow cytometry (sub-g1 peak) evaluation of dna fragmentation following pi staining. cells were cultured with 5 μm dox for 24 hr to induce cell damage. h9c2 cells were pretreated with different concentrations (6-200 μg/ml) of c. spinosa extract for 4 hr before dox treatment in all trials. results:  pretreatment with 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/ml of c. spinosa could increase the viability of h9c2 cells to 72.63 ± 2.8% (p< 0.05), 77.37 ± 1.8% (p< 0.05), 83.56 ± 2.6% (p< 0.001) and 90.9 ± 0.5% (p< 0.001) of control, respectively. also, c. spinosa decreased apoptotic induction significantly, at the doses of 50 µg/ml (p<0.05), 100 µg/ml (p<0.01) and 200 µg/ml (p<0.001) conclusion: our results showed that c. spinosa could exert cardioprotective effects against dox-induced toxicity that might be mediated via its antioxidant activity.

Effect of Curcumin on Doxorubicin-induced Cytotoxicity in H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Cells

Objective(s) Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent can give rise to serve cardiotoxicity by inducing apoptosis. Curcumin, the active compound of the rhizome of Curcuma longa L. has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities. Curcumin has been identified to increase cytotoxicity in several cancer cell lines in combination with DOX, but there is no study a...

Protective effect of p-coumaric acid against doxorubicin induced toxicity in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cell lines

Doxorubicin (Dox) has been used for more than four decades to treat cancer, particularly solid tumours and haematological malignancies. However, the administration of this drug is a matter of concern in the clinical community, since Dox therapy is commonly associated with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Attempts at alleviating drug generated cardiac damage using naturally occurring compounds wit...

Evaluation of age effects on doxorubicin-induced toxicity in mesenchymal stem cells

Background: Doxorubicin, by aggregating in bone marrow, causes genotoxic effects, and thus reduces the repair ability of cells. The present study was conducted as an in vitro evaluation of age effects on the cytotoxicity induced by doxorubicin in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). &nbsp;&nbsp; Methods: The MSCs of female BALB/c mice aged 1, 8, and 16 months were separated, characterized, and subse...
