Dünyada birçok alanda yaygın olarak kullanılan toksik metallerden biri olan kadmiyum, vücuda farklı şekillerde alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kadmiyumun beyinde oluşturduğu hasar ve bu hasarın beyin dokusunda GFAP, 8-OHdG, nNOS, SOD, GSH, GPx, iNOS ve MDA ekspresyon düzeylerini nasıl etkilediği araştırıldı. Bu deneysel çalışmada 200-220 gr ağırlığında 16 adet erkek Wistar albino sıçan kullanıldı. Sıçanlar iki gruba ayrıldı. Kadmiyum grubuna 0.025 mmol/kg’lık tek bir intraperitoneal Cd uygulandı. Rat beyin dokuları biyokimyasal, histopatolojik ve immünohistokimyasal boyama
yöntemi ile incelendi. Beyin dokularının histopatolojik incelemesinde kontrol grubuna ait beyin örneklerinde normal histolojik yapı gözlenirken, kadmiyum grubunda beyinde nöronlarda nekroz
ve dejenerasyon ile parankim ve meningeal damarlarda hiperemi gözlendi. İmmünohistokimyasal incelemelerde kontrol grubunun beyin örneklerinde GFAP, 8-OHdG ve nNOS ekspresyonuizlenmezken, Cd uygulanan grubun beyin dokusunda şiddetli GFAP, 8-OHdG ve nNOS ekspresyonu gözlendi. Yapılan biyokimyasal analizlerde Cd gruplarında SOD, GSH ve GPx enzim seviyeleri artarken, iNOS ve MDA enzim seviyelerinin düştüğü gözlendi. Bu çalışma sonucunda markerlerin ekspresyon düzeylerinin Cd toksisitesinin patogenezinde oksidatif stresin anlaşılmasında önemli olduğu ve gelecekte yol gösterici ve önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Investigation of Neurotoxicity Oxidative Stress and Oxidative DNA Damage in Cadmium-Induced Brain Injury in Rats

Öz

Cadmium, which is one of the toxic metals widely used in many areas of the world, is taken into the body in different ways. In this study, the damage caused by cadmium in the brain and how
this damage affects the levels of glial fibrial acidic protein, 8-Oxo-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), neuronal nitric oxide synthase, Süperoksit dismutaz (SOD), Glutatyon (GSH), glutatyon peroksidaz
(GPX), inducible nitric oxide synthase, and malondialdehid (MDA) expression in the brain tissue were investigated. A total of 16 male Wistar albino rats 200-220 g were used in the experimental
study. Rats were divided into 2 groups. A single cadmium i.p. dose of 0.025 mmol/kg was given to rats in the cadmium group. Rat brain tissue samples were analyzed using biochemical analyses as well as histopathological and immunohistochemical methods. In the histopathological examination of the brain tissues, normal histological structure was observed in the brain samples
belonging to the control group, while necrosis and degeneration of neurons in the brain, as well as hyperemia in the parenchyma and meningeal vessels were observed in the cadmium group.
In immunohistochemical examinations, while glial fibrial acidic protein, 8-OHdG, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase expression was not observed in the brain samples of control group, severe
expression of glial fibrial acidic protein, 8-OHdG, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase was observed in the brain tissue of the group receiving cadmium. In the biochemical analyses performed, it was
observed that SOD, GSH, and GPx enzyme levels increased in cadmium groups, inducible nitric oxide synthase and MDA enzyme levels were decreased. As a result of this study, it is thought that
markers’ expression levels are important in understanding the oxidative stress in pathogenesis of cadmium toxicity and will provide a guide and important contributions to future studies.
