RESUMO

AIMS: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been widely used for the adjunctive treatment of diabetic wounds, and is currently known to influence left ventricular (LV) function. However, morphological and molecular repercussions of the HBO in the diabetic myocardium remain to be described. We aimed to investigate whether HBO therapy would mitigate adverse LV remodeling caused by streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. MAIN METHODS: Sixty-day-old Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Control (n = 8), HBO (n = 7), STZ (n = 10), and STZ + HBO (n = 8). Diabetes was induced by a single STZ injection (60 mg/kg, i.p.). HBO treatment (100% oxygen at 2.5 atmospheres absolute, 60 min/day, 5 days/week) lasted for 5 weeks. LV morphology was evaluated using histomorphometry. Gene expression analyzes were performed for LV collagens I (Col1a1) and III (Col3a1), matrix metalloproteinases 2 (Mmp2) and 9 (Mmp9), and transforming growth factor-ß1 (Tgfb1). The Immunoexpression of cardiac tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were also quantified. KEY FINDINGS: HBO therapy prevented LV concentric remodeling, heterogeneous myocyte hypertrophy, and fibrosis in diabetic rats associated with attenuation of leukocyte infiltration. HBO therapy also increased Mmp2 gene expression, and inhibited the induction of Tgfb1 and Mmp9 mRNAs caused by diabetes, and normalized TNF-α and VEGF protein expression. SIGNIFICANCE: HBO therapy had protective effects for the LV structure in STZ-diabetic rats and ameliorated expression levels of genes involved in cardiac collagen turnover, as well as pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic signaling.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Studies with acridine compounds have reported anticancer effects. Herein, we evaluated the toxicity and antitumor effect of the (E)-1'-((4-chlorobenzylidene)amino)-5'-oxo-1',5'-dihydro-10H-spiro[acridine-9,2'-pyrrole]-4'-carbonitrile (AMTAC-06), a promising anticancer spiro-acridine compound. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The toxicity of AMTAC-06 was evaluated on zebrafish and mice. Antitumor activity was assessed in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma model. Effects on angiogenesis, cytokine levels and cell cycle were also investigated. RESULTS: AMTAC-06 did not induce toxicity on zebrafish and mice (LD50 approximately 5000 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). No genotoxicity was observed on micronucleus assay. AMTAC-06 significantly reduced the total viable Ehrlich tumor cells and increased sub-G1 peak, suggesting apoptosis was triggered. Moreover, the compound significantly decreased the density of peritumoral microvessels, indicating an anti-angiogenic action, possibly dependent on the cytokine modulation (TNF-α, IL-1ß and IFN-γ). No significant toxicological effects were recorded for AMTAC-06 on tumor transplanted animals. CONCLUSION: AMTAC-06 has low toxicity and a significant antitumor activity.
