Research I - Chemomodulatory effects of Terminalia chebula or haritaki against nickel chloride induced oxidative stress and tumor promotion response in male Wistar rats.
By Prasad L, Husain Khan T, Jahangir T, Sultana S.
The research was carried out at the Section of Chemoprevention and Nutrition Toxicology, Department of Medical Elementology and Toxicology, Jamia Hamdard (Hamdard University), Hamdard Nagar, New Delhi, India. Nickel, a major ecological pollutant is a known potent nephro-toxic agent. In this communication we report the chemopreventive effect of Terminalia chebula or haritaki on nickel chloride (NiCl(2)) induced renal oxidative stress, toxicity and cell proliferation response in male Wistar rats. Administration of NiCl(2) (250micromoL Ni/kg body weight) to male Wistar rats resulted in an augment in the reduced renal glutathione content (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), lipid peroxidation (LPO), H(2)O(2) generation, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine with a concomitant reduction in the activity of glutathione peroxidase (p<0.001). Nickel chloride (NiCl(2)) treatment also induced tumor promotion markers, viz., ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and thymidine [(3)H] incorporation into renal DNA (p<0.001). Prophylactic treatment of rats with Terminalia chebula (25mg/kg body weight and 50mg/kg body weight) daily for 7 days resulted in the diminution of NiCl(2) mediated damage as evident from the down regulation of glutathione content, GST, GR, LPO, H(2)O(2) generation, BUN, serum creatinine, DNA synthesis (p<0.001) and ODC activity (p<0.01) with concomitant restoration of GPx activity. Thus, the current investigation suggests that Terminalia chebula extract could be used as therapeutic agent for cancer prevention as evident from this study where it blocks or suppresses the events linked with chemical carcinogenesis.
