Effects of quercetin on Aroclor 1254-induced expression of CYP450 and cytokines in pregnant rats.
The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of quercetin on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-induced liver and embryo damage in pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats. Pregnant rats were divided into five groups, and then were orally gavaged daily with peanut oil (vehicle) or a commercial PCB mixture (Aroclor 1254) - with or without co-treatment with 75, 150, or 300 mg/kg quercetin - on gestation days (GD) 4-7. At GD 9, all rats were euthanized, and their blood, liver, and uterus were collected. Expressions of CYP450 mRNA and protein in liver, cytokines (IFNγ, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6) and IFNγ/IL-4 ratios in liver and sera, liver morphology, and the status of implanted embryos were analyzed. The results showed Aroclor 1254 treatment alone caused hepatic cord damage (i.e. cell disorganization, swelling, decreased cytoplasm, vacuolization), and that quercetin co-treatment appeared to mitigate this damage. Similarly, levels of CYP1A1 and CYP2B1 mRNA in livers of Aroclor 1254-only-treated rats were significantly higher than those in rats co-treated with quercetin. Hepatic and sera levels of IFNγ, IL-2, IL-6, and IFNγ/IL-4 ratios, and the ratio of delayed-development embryos, all increased in Aroclor 1254-treated rats, but were relatively decreased as a result of quercetin co-treatments. IL-4 levels were decreased by Aroclor 1254 and tended to increase back to normal when quercetin was used. The results indicated that quercetin imparted a protective effect against Aroclor 1254-induced toxicity in pregnant rats, in part, by modulating levels of important pro-inflammatory cytokines and reducing induced CYP1A1 and CYP2B1 expression.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Immunotoxicology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that provides a needed singular forum for the international community of immunotoxicologists, immunologists, and toxicologists working in academia, government, consulting, and industry to both publish their original research and be made aware of the research findings of their colleagues in a timely manner. Research from many subdisciplines are presented in the journal, including the areas of molecular, developmental, pulmonary, regulatory, nutritional, mechanistic, wildlife, and environmental immunotoxicology, immunology, and toxicology. Original research articles as well as timely comprehensive reviews are published.
