Öğe Antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects of onion (Allium cepa) extract on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats(Wiley, 2013) Alpsoy, Seref; Aktas, Cevat; Uygur, Ramazan; Topcu, Birol; Kanter, Mehmet; Erboga, Mustafa; Karakaya, OsmanThe aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects of onion (Allium cepa) extracts (ACE) on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. The rats in the ACE-pretreated group were given a daily dose of 1 ml ACE for 14 days. To induce cardiotoxicity, DOX (30 mg kg-1 body weight) was injected intraperitoneally by a single dose and the rats were sacrificed after 48 h. To date, no such studies have been performed on the cardioprotective and anti-apoptotic potential of ACE on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Our data indicate a significant reduction in the activity of in situ identification of apoptosis using terminal dUTP nick end-labeling in cardiomyocytes of the DOX-treated group with ACE therapy. The DOX-treated with ACE groups showed a significant decrease in malondialdehyde levels, and increased activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase in comparison with the DOX-treated group. Creatine kinase, creatine kinase MB, lactate dehydrogenase activities and cardiac troponin I levels were significantly decreased in the DOX + ACE group in comparison with the DOX group. These biochemical and histological disturbances were effectively attenuated on pretreatment with ACE. The present study showed that ACE may be a suitable cardioprotector against toxic effects of DOX.

Data from our study show that prevention of endothelial cell apoptosis by ACE may contribute to the restoration of aortic endothelial dysfunction that is associated with DOX treatment.

Methods: A total of 124 patients with a ST-Segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) diagnosis who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and 50 healthy volunteers with similar demographic characteristics were included in the study. The relationship between 2-dimenstional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)-guided LV apical rotation angle measurements and technetium-99m sestamibi-single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-guided infarct localization was evaluated. Conventional echocardiography and STE were performed on average 2 days after PCI, and gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) was performed within an average of 60 days. Results: The apical rotation angle was lower in patients with an anterior MI compared with those who had an inferior MI and the control group (AntMl-InfMl: 6.51 +/- 2.4 degrees, AntMI-Control: 13.20 +/- 2.5 degrees, InfMI-Control: 14.3 +/- 2.1 degrees, p value: 0.00, 0.00, 0.15, respectively). SPECT MPI analysis revealed the presence of an LV apical scar in all patients with acute anterior MI, but only 14 of those with inferior MI group (usually the inferoapical wall). The apical rotation angle recorded in patients with apical scar was lower than that of the patients without apical scar (7.6 +/- 2.8 degrees and 14.5 +/- 2 degrees, respectively; p=0.00). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis yielded an area under the curve for apical rotation of 0.799 (p<0.01). The optimal cutoff value of 12.1 degrees had a sensitivity of 78.3% and a specificity of 68.2% for predicting LV apical scar following STEMI. Conclusion: Detection of apical rotation angle decrease in the early period after STEMI may be useful in predicting extension of infarct scarring to the LV apex.
