Cytotoxic Activities of the Crude Venoms of Macrovipera lebetina lebetina from Cyprus and M. l. obtusa from Turkey (Serpentes: Viperidae) on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Öz
In this study, we used human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as an in vitro model to compare the cytotoxic activities of the venoms of two Macrovipera lebetina subspecies, M. l. obtusa from southern Anatolia and M. l. lebetina from northern Cyprus. Well-established 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was preferred to assess the cytotoxicity. Our results showed that venom reduced cell viability both in a time and dose-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of M. l. lebetina venom on HUVEC is reported for the first time in the present study.

Teşekkür
We greatly acknowledge and dedicate this article to late Prof. Dr. Bayram GÖÇMEN who passed away tragically on 22 March 2019, for his great contributions to the field herpetology and his invaluable support to the studies related to snake venoms in Turkey by providing venom samples. We also thank Ankara University Biotechnology Institute for providing laboratory access and to Dr. Erkan YILMAZ, Ankara University Biotechnology Institute for providing Human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
