In vitro stimulatory effect of N-acetyl tryptophan-glucopyranoside against gamma radiation induced immunosuppression
2018
: Radiation-induced manifestations like free radical burst, oxidative damage and apoptosis leading to cell death. In present study, N-acetyl tryptophan glucopyranoside (NATG) was assessed for its immune-radioprotective activities using J774A.1 cells. Clonogenic cell survival, cell cycle progression and cytokines i.e. IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13 and IL-17A expression were evaluated in irradiated and NATG pretreated cells using clonogenic formation ability, flow cytometry and ELISA assay. Results indicated that 0.25μg/ml NATG exhibited maximum radioprotection against gamma-radiation (2Gy) without intervening in cell cycle progression. NATG pretreated (-2 h) plus irradiated cells showed significant elevation in IFN-γ (∼38.2%), IL-17A (∼53.7%) and IL-12 (∼58.8%) expression as compared to only irradiated cells. Conversely, significant decrease in TNF-α (∼21.6%), IL-10 (∼31.2%), IL-2 (∼23.7%) and IL-13 expression (∼17.8%) were observed in NATG pretreated plus irradiated cells as compared to irradiated cells. Conclusively, NATG pretreatment to irradiated J774A.1 cells, stimulate Th1 while diminish Th2 cytokines that contributes to radioprotection.
