Paraquat induces different pulmonary biochemical responses in Wistar rats and Swiss mice

The paper presents results showing differential response to paraquat toxicity in Wistar rats and Swiss strain of mice. Paraquat-induced pulmonary biochemical responses in the two animal species were studied at different time point after giving a single intraperitoneal injection of the respective LD(10) doses of the herbicide paraquat to rats and mice. Paraquat induced different biochemical responses including different protective responses in the two animal species. As a protective response, NADPH-specific quinone reductase is induced in rats, while catalase is induced in mice. It is implied that an early induction of catalase in mice as opposed to rats may account for the resistance of Swiss mice to paraquat toxicity. Xanthine oxidase, which was induced in rats, remains unaffected in mice indicating that the enzyme contributes to paraquat toxicity only in Wistar rats. Time-course studies were also conducted to compare the differential responses of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation between the two species. The results of the study led us to suggest that the manifestation of paraquat toxicity involve distinct differences in early pulmonary biochemical responses in Wistar rats and Swiss mice.

Subclinic effect of the administration of T-2 Toxin and Nivalenol in mice

Four experiments using T-2 toxin and nivalenol at different dosage, which represented the 25% and 40% of the LD50 (experiment A: 1.04 mg of T-2 toxin per kilogram of body weight, experiment B: 2.34 mg of T-2 toxin/kg b.w., experiment C: 1.04 mg of T-2 toxin/kg b. w. and 2.34 mg of T-2 toxin/kg b.w.; experiment D: 0.82 mg of nivalenol/kg b.w. and 1.845 mg of nivalenol/kg b.w.) were conducted on 400 mice. Both toxins were administered to mice of different ages (experiments A and B were adults, experiment C and D were young) by intraperitoneal single injection, and the clinical signs, hematological variables and histoanatomo pathological changes were studied. All animals survived. No changes anatomo-histopathological nor significative differences in weight gain were observed. Different behaviors were found for nivalenol and T-2 toxin. The most significant change was the increase in the level of monocytes in old animals, so this could be a biological indicator for T-2 toxin subclinical intoxication.     

Using Bosentan to Treat Paraquat Poisoning-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Rats

Background

Paraquat poisoning is well known for causing multiple organ function failure (MODS) and high mortality. Acute lung injury and advanced pulmonary fibrosis are the most serious complications. Bosentan is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist. It plays an important role in treating PF. There is no related literature on the use of bosentan therapy for paraquat poisoning.

Objective

To study the use of bosentan to treat acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis as induced by paraquat.

Method

A total of 120 adult Wister male rats were randomly assigned to three groups: the paraquat poisoning group (rats were intragastrically administered with paraquat at 50 mg/kg body weight once at the beginning); the bosentan therapy group (rats were administered bosentan at 100 mg/kg body weight by intragastric administration half an hour after paraquat was administered, then the same dose was administered once a day); and a control group (rats were administered intragastric physiological saline). On the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 21st days following paraquat exposure, rats were sacrificed, and samples of lung tissue and venous blood were collected. The levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and hydroxyproline (HYP) in the plasma and lung homogenate were determined. Optical and electronic microscopes were used to examine pathological changes.

Result

The TGF-β1, ET-1, and HYP of the paraquat poisoning group were significantly higher than in the control group, and they were significantly lower in the 21st day therapy group than in the paraquat poisoning group on the same day. Under the optical and electronic microscopes, lung tissue damage was observed to be more severe but was then reduced after bosentan was administered.

Conclusion

Bosentan can reduce inflammation factor release. It has a therapeutic effect on acute lung injury as induced by paraquat.     

Pancreatic exocrine damage induced by subcutaneous injection of a low dosage of zinc

The aim of this study was to observe whether a low dosage of zinc induced mouse pancreatic injury. Dosages of zinc from 0.1 to 50 mg/kg were injected subcutaneously in mice, and plasma and pancreatic clinical parameters were observed 3–24 h after the injection. Plasma α-amylase activity increased 10 and 24 h after the injection of 25 or 50 mg/kg of zinc, whereas pancreatic α-amylase activity decreased 3 h after more than 5 mg/kg of zinc was injected. The activity recovered after 24 h except in the group injected with 50 mg/kg of zinc. The plasma glucose level did not change when less than 25 mg/kg of zinc was injected. The pancreatic zinc contents increased 3 h after more than 1 mg/kg of zinc was injected. The pancreatic metallothionein (MT) contents increased 6 h after the injection of 1 mg/kg of zinc. In addition, when more than 5 mg/kg of zinc was injected, the MT content increased at 3 h. In histochemical observations, cell damages such as fibrosis and necrosis were observed in pancreatic exocrine cells, but not in cells of Langerhans islets. From the present study, a single injection of a low dosage of zinc induces injury in pancreatic exocrine cells, but not endocrine cells.
