Sinapic acid attenuates cyclophosphamide-induced liver toxicity in mice by modulating oxidative stress, NF-κB, and caspase-3
Cyclophosphamide (CP) as an antineoplastic drug is widely used in cancer patients, and liver toxicity is one of its complications. Sinapic acid (SA) as a natural phenylpropanoid has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.
The purpose of the current study was to determine the protective effect of SA versus CP-induced liver toxicity. In this research, BALB/c mice were treated with SA (5 and 10 mg/kg) orally for one week, and CP (200 mg/kg) was injected on day 3 of the study. Oxidative stress markers, serum liver-specific enzymes, histopathological features, caspase-3, and nuclear factor kappa-B cells were then checked.
CP induced hepatotoxicity in mice and showed structural changes in liver tissue. CP significantly increased liver enzymes and lipid peroxidation, and decreased glutathione. The immunoreactivity of caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa-B cells was significantly increased. Administration of SA significantly maintained histochemical parameters and liver function enzymes in mice treated with CP. Immunohistochemical examination showed SA reduced apoptosis and inflammation.
The data confirmed that SA with anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities was able to preserve CP-induced liver injury in mice.
