Öğe Doxycycline and meloxicam can treat neuroinflammation by increasing activity of antioxidant enzymes in rat brain(UNIV KARACHI, 2019) Dik, Burak.; Coskun, Devran.; Bahcivan, Emre.; Er, Ayse.The aim of this study is to determine the effects of alone or combined usage of doxycycline and meloxicam on brain superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced brain inflammation. Totally 78 rats were divided into 5 groups; Healthy control (n=6), LPS (n=18, 0.05 mu g/mu L/rat, intracranially), LPS+D (n=18, LPS 0.05 mu g/mu L/rat, intracranially and doxycycline 40 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), LPS+M (n=18, LPS 0.05 mu g/mu L/rat, intracranially and meloxicam 2 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), LPS+Combination (n=18, LPS 0.05 mu g/mu L/rat, intracranially and simultaneously both drug combination) groups. Animals were euthanized at 1, 3 and 6 hours following injections and the brains were removed. Brain SOD, CAT, MDA and MMP-9 levels were determined by ELISA reader. Parameters of LPS groups generally different from Healthy control group. When compared to LPS group, increased SOD level of LPS+D at 3 hours and CAT levels of LPS+M and LPS+D groups were determined (P<0.05) at 3 and 6 hours, respectively. In addition, all treatments statistically significantly (P<0.05) decreased MMP-9 levels at 6 hours. In conclusion, doxycycline and meloxicam may show antioxidant effect via increasing antioxidant enzyme production in the brain; however combined usage of drugs may show more beneficial effect for neuroinflammation.Öğe Sulfasalazine treatment can cause a positive effect on LPS-induced endotoxic rats(INT PRESS EDITING CENTRE INC, 2018) Dik, Burak.; Sonmez, Gonca.; Faki, Hatice Eser.; Bahcivan, Emre.The aim of this study, was to determine the effect of sulfasalazine for different periods of time reduces disseminated intravascular coagulation, inflammation and organ damages by inhibiting the nuclear factor kappa beta pathway. The study was performed with 30 Wistar albino rats and the groups were established as Control group, LPS group; endotoxemia was induced with LPS, SL5 group: sulfasalazine (300 mg/kg, single dose daily) was administered for 5 days before the LPS-induced endotoxemia, and LS group: sulfasalazine (300 mg/kg, single dose) was administered similtenously with LPS. Hemogram, biochemical, cytokine (IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha) and acute phase proteins (HPT, SAA, PGE2) analyzes and oxidative status values were measured from blood samples at 3 and 6 h after the last applications in the all groups. The rats were euthanized at 6 h and mRNA levels of BCL2 and BAX genes were examined from liver and brain tissues. Sulfasalazine reduced the increased 1L-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and PGE(2) levels and significantly increased anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 levels. In addition, decreasing of ATIII level was prevented in the SL5 group, and decreasing of fibrinogen levels were prevented in the LS and SL5 groups within first 3 h. In LPS group, leukocyte and thrombocyte levels were decreased, however sulfasalazine application inhibited decreases of leukocyte levels in LS and SL5 groups. In addition, sulfasalazine inhibited the decrease of total antioxidant capacity and unchanged apoptosis in brain and liver. In conclusion, the use of sulfasalazine in different durations reduce the excessive inflammation of endotoxemia cases.
