ABSTRACT
Hypothesis Anthocyanins possess well-known biological effects and suppress DNA damage induced by therapeutic topoisomerase poisons. Our study focusses on the modulatory effects of anthocyanidins-malvidin (MAL) and pelargonidin (PEL)-on topoisomerase II poison mitoxantrone (MXT)-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in in vitro and in vivo conditions. Study design HepG2 cells were treated with MXT (1-10 µM), MAL (10-100 µM,) and PEL (5-640 µM) to determine cell viability. Further, experiments on cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction by single agents or combinations were performed. In vitro and in vivo antigenotoxic effect of MAL/PEL against MXT was evaluated in human lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells. Methods Cytotoxicity of test agents and apoptosis induction in HepG2 cells was assessed by MTT assay, trypan blue dye exclusion assay and Hoechst 33258 staining. Antigenotoxic effects of MAL/PEL against MXT were assessed in co-treated human lymphocytes and bone marrow from mice that received MXT intraperitoneally 30 minutes post MAL/PEL oral administration Results Dose-dependent cytotoxicity was observed with all 3 test agents in HepG2 cells. Highest test concentration of 100 µM MAL, 640 µM PEL, and 10 µM MXT decreased HepG2 cell viability by 80%, 30%, and 90%, respectively. The combination of 1 µM MXT + 80 µM MAL reduced cell viability better than single agents. MAL/PEL treatment significantly reduced MXT-induced genotoxicity in human lymphocytes and micronuclei formation in mice. Conclusion Combination of MAL/PEL with lower doses of MXT, especially MAL+MXT increases the cytotoxicity in cancer cells. In addition, MXT treatment with MAL/PEL reduced MXT-induced genotoxicity and protected normal cells during chemotherapy.
