ABSTRACT
INTRAVENOUS GLUTAMINE EFFECT OF CASPASE-12 IN OCCURRENCE OF
APOPTOSIS RENAL PROXIMAL TUBULAR CELLS WERE EXPOSED
CISPLATIN ON MALE RATS
Introduction :
Glutamine is one of the precursors for the synthesis of glutathione.
Glutathione is the main endogene antioxidant in mammalian cells that have
antiapoptotic effects. Glutamine has a beneficial effect because it can inhibit Bax
and Bak that will inhibit the expression of caspase-12 and will eventually inhibit
the incidence of apoptosis through the ER stress pathway in renal proximal
tubular cells.
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent that is most widely used for the
treatment of some types of malignancies in humans. The efficacy of cisplatin
dose-dependent, but a significant risk of nephrotoxicity of cisplatin often prevent
the use of higher doses to maximize the effect of antineoplastic. Cisplatin
nephrotoxicity potentially inhibited by glutamine. But until now renoprotective
effect of glutamine against caspase-12 on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is
unknown. This study will evaluate the effects of intravenous injection of glutamine
as an anti-renal proximal tubular cell apoptosis by cisplatin chemotherapy.
Goal :
To analyze the effect of intravenous glutamine on the prevention of
occurrence of renal proximal tubular cell apoptosis exposed cisplatin, via ER
stress caspase dependent pathway (caspase-12).
Metode :
Laboratory experimental research design "The Randomized Post Test
Only Control Group Design," which uses thirty male Wistar rats. Rats were
divided into three treatment groups, which is groups of P0 (control), group P1 on
the 7th day was given intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of cisplatin 20mg /
kg, group P2 on days 1-7 glutamine was given intravenous injection of 100mg /
kg body weight and day 7th injected intraperitoneal cisplatin single dose of
20mg / kg. After 72 hours of observation the rat kidney tissue got
immunohistochemistry processed, to observe the number of renal proximal
tubular cells expressing caspase-12 and the number of cells undergoing
apoptosis. Data were analyzed with SPSS 17, ANOVA analysis followed Tukey
Post Hoc test, with p <0.05.
Result :
ANOVA analysis, the average expression of caspase-12 group P2 =
236.20 17:58 decreased significantly compared to the group P1 = 309.50
8:08 (p = 0.000001). The average number of apoptotic group P2 = 151.80
21.87 decreased significantly compared to the group P1 = 255.20 27.82 (p =
0.000001).
Conclusion :
Glutamine can inhibit the expression of caspase-12, and decreases
apoptosis of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells were exposed cisplatin.
