This study was carried out to investigate the ability of Propolis to ameliorate the adverse cytogenetic effects of Dacarbazine on bone marrow cells.
In this experimental in vivo study, 18 mice were used, divided into four groups: control group; Propolis-treated group (treated with 50mg/kg Propolis); and Dacarbazine-treated group (treated with 3.5mg/kg Dacarbazine). The fourth, fifth, and sixth were treated with Dacarbazine and Propolis as pre 2h, post 2h, and concomitant treatment. After five days, the Bone Marrow (BM) samples were obtained for cytogenetic investigation.
The studies revealed that Dacarbazine induced an abnormalities in polychromatic erythrocytes cells (PECs) as increase of cell with micronuclei, while the dual treatment accompanied with improvement of this abnormalities.
It could be concluded that there are protective effects of Propolis against the adverse effects of Dacarbazine. It could be recommended to use Propolis as an adjuvant with chemotherapeutic agents.
本研究旨在探讨蜂胶改善达卡巴嗪对骨髓细胞不良细胞遗传学效应的能力。
在这项体内实验研究中,使用了18只小鼠,分为四组:对照组;蜂胶处理组(用50mg/kg蜂胶处理);达卡巴嗪处理组(用3.5mg/kg达卡巴嗪处理)。第四、第五和第六组分别在达卡巴嗪给药前2小时、给药后2小时和同时给药时用达卡巴嗪和蜂胶处理。五天后,获取骨髓(BM)样本进行细胞遗传学研究。
研究表明,达卡巴嗪诱导多色红细胞(PEC)出现异常,如含微核细胞增加,而联合处理可改善这种异常。
可以得出结论,蜂胶对达卡巴嗪的不良反应有保护作用。建议将蜂胶作为化疗药物的佐剂使用。
