Protective Effects of Alpha-lipoic Acid, Resveratrol, and Apigenin Against Oxidative Damages, Histopathological Changes, and Mortality Induced by Lung Irradiation in Rats.
Aim: This study investigated the protective effects of three antioxidants on radiationinduced lung injury.
Background: Oxidative stress is one of the key outcomes of radiotherapy in normal tissues. It can induce severe injuries in lung tissue, which may lead to pneumonitis and fibrosis. Recently, interest in natural chemicals as possible radioprotectors has increased due to their reduced toxicity, cheaper price, and other advantages.
Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the radioprotective effect of Alpha-lipoic Acid (LA), Resveratrol (RVT), and Apigenin (APG) against histopathological changes and oxidative damage and survival induced by ionizing radiation (IR) in the lung tissues of rats.
Methods: First, the lung tissue of 50 mature male Wistar rats underwent an 18 Gy gamma irradiation. Next, the rats were sacrificed and transverse sections were obtained from the lung tissues and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) and Mason trichrome (MTC) for histopathological evaluation. Then, the activity of Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured by an ELISA reader at 340, 405, and 550 nm.
Results: Based on the results of this study, IR led to a remarkable increase in morphological changes in the lung. However, APG, RVT, and LA could ameliorate the deleterious effects of IR in lung tissue. IR causes an increase in GPX level, and APG+IR administration causes a decrease in the level of GPX compared to the control group. Also, the results of this study showed that RVT has significant effects in reducing MDA levels in the short term. In addition, compared to the control group, IR and RVT+IR decrease the activity of SOD in the long term in the lung tissues of rats. Also, the analysis of results showed that weight changes in IR, LA+IR, APG+IR, and control groups were statistically significant.
Conclusion: APG and RVT could prevent tissue damage induced by radiation effects in rat lung tissues. Hence, APG, LA, and RVT could provide a novel preventive action with their potential antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, as well as their great safety characteristic.
