Publication: Diyabetik Erişkin Dişi Sıçanlarda Kurkuminin Optik Sinir Üzerine Etkisinin Araştırılması
Abstract
Bu çalışmada streptozosin (STZ) ile indüklenmiş diyabetik sıçanların optik sinirde hiperglisemi kaynaklı oluşan hasar üzerine, kurkuminin muhtemel koruyucu / terapötik etkilerini stereolojik yöntemlerle araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmamızda 12 haftalık 42 adet Wistar albino cinsi dişi sıçan kullanıldı. Denekler, her grupta altı hayvan olmak üzere rastgele yedi gruba ayrıldı. Diyabet modeli oluşturulması amacıyla, deneklere 50 mg/kg STZ intraperitonal yolla verildi (DM grubu). Kurkumin uygulaması 14 gün (30 mg/gün) boyunca gavaj yoluyla yapılmış olup, Diyabet-Kurkumin 1 grubunda (DK1) model oluşturulduktan yedi gün sonra, Diyabet-Kurkumin 2 grubunda (DK2) 21 gün sonra, Diyabet-Kurkumin 3 grubunda (DK3) ise diyabetik model oluşturulmasıyla eş zamanlı olarak kurkumin uygulamalarına başlandı. Ayrıca yalnızca kurkumin (Cur) verilen grup ile yalnızca mısır yağı verilen Sham grubu olmak üzere iki grup daha oluşturuldu. Deney sonunda optik sinir dokuları çıkartılarak dokulara elektron mikroskobik takip işlemi uygulandı. Resine gömülü dokulardan alınan yarı ince (500 nm) kesitlerde ışık mikroskobunda optik sinir kesit alanı hesaplaması, ince (70 nm) kesitlerde elektron mikroskobunda miyelinli akson sayısı, akson alanı ve miyelin kılıf kalınlığı stereolojik yöntemler kullanılarak hesaplamaları yapıldı. Stereolojik analizler sonunda diyabetin, optik sinirde miyelinli akson sayısını kontrol grubuna göre önemli derecede azalttığını (p<0,05), ayrıca verilen kurkumin maddesinin DK2 grubunda, DM grubuna göre miyelinli akson sayısını önemli ölçüde koruduğunu gözledik (p<0,05). Diğer parametreler (akson alanı ve miyelin kılıf kalınlığı) bakımından kurkumin uygulamasının diyabete karşı koruyucu bir etkisinin olmadığını stereolojik yöntemler ile belirledik (p≥0,05). Buna karşın doku kesitlerinin elektron mikroskopta yapılan histopatolojik değerlendirmelerinde diyabetin optik sinir üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin kurkumin uygulaması ile iyileştirildiği gözlendi. Antioksidan özelliği sayesinde kurkumin, optimal uygulama yöntemiyle, özellikle diyabetin etkilerine karşı optik sinirde iyileştirici etki gösterebilir. Anahtar Sözcükler: optik sinir, diyabet, kurkumin, oksidatif stres, stereoloji.
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the possible protective and therapeutic effects of curcumin against the damage caused exerted by hyperglycemia on the optical nerves of rats with diabetes induced by streptozocin (STZ) by using stereological methods. In our study, 42 Wistar albino female rats of 12 weeks old were used. Subjects were randomly divided into seven groups, six animals in each group. In order to establish a diabetes model, 50 mg / kg STZ was given intraperitoneally to the subjects (DM group). The curcumin administration done via gavage for 14 days (30 mg/day) and was started on the 7th day after the establishment of the diabetes- curcumin 1 group (DC1), 21 days after the establishment of the model for the diabetes-curcumin 2 group (DC2), and on the same day with the establishment of the model for the diabetes-curcumin 3 group (DC3). Moreover, two more groups were arranged as curcumin-only group and corn oil- only sham group. At the end of the experiment, the optical nerve tissues were extracted and the tissues were subjected to electron microscopy tissue processing. Light microsopy optical nerve section area estimation was done for the semi-thin sections obtained from tissues embedded in resin and the estimations for myelinated axon number, axon area and myelin sheath thickness were done for thin (70 nm) sections, by using stereological methods. As the result of stereological analyses, we observed that diabetes significantly decreased the myelinated axon number in optical nerve in comparison to control group (p<0,05) and that curcumin adminstration significantly protected the myelinated axon number in DK2 group in comparison to DM group (p<0,05). We observed that curcumin has no protective effect against diabetes in terms of other parameters (axon area, myelin sheath thickness) via stereological methods (p≥0,05). However, in the histopathological evaluations performed with electron microscopy, curcumin was seen to alleviate the harmful effects of diabetes on the optic nerve. Due to antioxidant effect of curcumin, with optimal application, it could have healing properties on optic nerve against diabetic mellitus impacts. Keywords: optic nerve, diabetes, curcumin, oxidative stress, stereology.
