The current study is aimed at determining the preventive effects of hesperidin against death, weight changes, cellular damage, and oxidative stress in mice induced by n-ethyl-n-nitrosourea as a chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) model. Female mice were pretreated with hesperidin (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, daily for 30 days). Next, the animals received a single intraperitoneal injection of 80 mg/kg ENU on the 30th. Changes in weight and mortality were monitored for 120 days, and then the animals were sacrificed and parameters such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction, lysosomal membrane integrity, oxidized/reduced glutathione (GSH/GSSG), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analyzed in isolated lymphocytes. Hesperidin significantly increases the survival of mice up to 86% and delay in death time and prevents weight changes after exposure to ENU. Also, hesperidin improved cellular toxicity parameters such as ROS formation, MMP collapse, lysosomal membrane destabilization, and lipid peroxidation in isolated lymphocytes. These results promisingly showed that pretreatment with hesperidin increases delay in death time and reduces mortality cellular toxicities consistent with the carcinogenicity of alkylating compounds. This study confirms that the consumption of hesperidin and citrus most likely inhibits alkylating agents-induced carcinogenicity and toxicity.
本研究旨在确定橙皮苷对N-乙基-N-亚硝基脲诱导的小鼠死亡、体重变化、细胞损伤和氧化应激的预防作用,该模型用于模拟慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)。雌性小鼠用橙皮苷(20mg/kg,腹腔注射,每日一次,共30天)进行预处理。接下来,在第30天给动物单次腹腔注射80mg/kg的ENU。监测体重变化和死亡率120天,然后处死动物,分析分离淋巴细胞中的活性氧(ROS)、线粒体功能障碍、溶酶体膜完整性、氧化型/还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH/GSSG)和丙二醛(MDA)等参数。橙皮苷显著提高小鼠存活率至86%,并延迟死亡时间,且在接触ENU后可防止体重变化。此外,橙皮苷改善了分离淋巴细胞中的细胞毒性参数,如ROS形成、线粒体膜电位崩溃、溶酶体膜不稳定和脂质过氧化。这些结果有力地表明,橙皮苷预处理可延长死亡时间并降低死亡率,细胞毒性与烷基化化合物的致癌性一致。本研究证实,食用橙皮苷和柑橘很可能抑制烷基化剂诱导的致癌性和毒性。
