AIMS: As a source of growth factors and with its cytoprotective properties, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) received considerable attention in regenerative medicine. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the protective efficacy of PRP against γ-radiation-induced nephrotoxicity.
MAIN METHODS: Forty male rats were distributed in four groups: 1) control, 2) PRP, 3) Radiation, and 4) PRP + radiation. Nephrotoxicity was examined in rats after a whole body γ-irradiation at a single dose of 8 Gy. Activated PRP (0.5 ml/kg BW) was injected subcutaneously twice weekly for three successive weeks prior to γ-irradiation. At the end of the experiment, creatinine, urea, albumin, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) serum levels, as well as renal relative gene expression level of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) were estimated. Further, malondialdehyde level, nitric oxide content and reduced glutathione content in addition to superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were measured. Moreover, the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), and caspase-3 proteins were assayed.
KEY FINDINGS: PRP pre-treatment significantly reduced the radiation-induced abnormalities in kidney histology and attenuated the induced cell injury. Furthermore, PRP notably ameliorated the state of oxidative stress and appeared to inhibit the induced apoptosis.
SIGNIFICANCE: This study lends a probable protective role of PRP against γ-radiation-induced nephrotoxicity which can highlight the possibilities of its application as a complementary procedure during radiotherapy.
