Abstract

The parotid glands are damaged by oxidative stress and a series of pathophysiological changes after irradiation. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a natural antioxidant that provides a radioprotective effect against harmful damage from ionizing radiation. The present study aims to explore the protective effects of RA on radiation-induced parotid gland injury and its underlying mechanism. Sprague-Dawley rats were irradiated with 15 Gy X-ray and treated with different concentrations of RA (30, 60, and 120 mg/kg) or amifostine (AMI, 250 mg/kg). Saliva secretion function, oxidative stress, apoptosis, the inflammatory response, and fibrosis were determined by the measurement of the salivary flow rate, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, transferase-mediated DUTP Nick end labeling, Western blot, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction, and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Here, we show that RA treatment significantly attenuated reactive oxygen species by a direct hindrance effect and the indirect activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 signaling. Rosmarinic acid not only reduced apoptosis by inhibiting p53/jun N-terminal kinase activation bu...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
