Evaluation of Brown Micro-Algae Synergies With Low Dose γ-Radiation Against Chronic Hepatitis Induced by D-Galactosamine in Rats.

Abstract

Hepatic inflammation is considered key driver of hepatic tissue impairment.We aimed to explore the interaction of Halamphora coffeaeformis (Amph.) with low dose ionizing γ radiation (γR) exposure against D-galactosamine (D-GaIN)-induced chronic hepatitis in Albino rats. Chronic hepatitis was induced with single dose of D-GalN (400mg/kg BW i.p.). Rats received 400mg Amph/kg BW daily by gastric gavage concomitant with .25Gy γ-R. Liver oxidative stress and inflammatory status were assessed. Gene expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB) were estimated by q-PCR. D-Galactosamine injection significantly encouraged hepatic oxidative damage and inflammatory disturbance accompanied with improved intercellular adhesion molecule-1 level (ICAM-1). messenger RNA gene expression levels of STAT3 and NF-kB were expressively higher in D-GaIN-treated animals. Histopathological examination supported results. Interestingly, Amph treatment with γ-radiation (γ-R) subjection displayed significant improvement of oxidative and inflammatory status along with controlled signaling molecular factors which was supported by amended histological structure of induced liver hepatitis. Results conclude the efficacious control of liver hepatitis progression by dual collaboration of Amph. with low dose γ-R via control of vital growth signaling factors linked with inflammation thru anti-inflammation, antioxidative and anti-proliferative activities.
