The Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on MMP-2 and MMP-9 Immune Activities in Testicular Tissue of Streptezotocin Induced Diabetic Rats

Abstract: Objective This study was performed to investigate the effects of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on matrix metalloproteinases (Mmp-2 and Mmp-9) immunoreactivity in testicular tissue of diabetic rats.

“…The reduction of pro-inflammatory tissue markers (IL-6 and TNF-a) and increase in the tissue remodeling marker (MMP-2) observed from the IHC and immunofluorescence staining indicate that this type of topical NAC preparation can indeed provide additional support during the healing phase. A literature review of previous studies indicates that NAC treatment generally results in reduction of MMP-2 in patients with Crohn's Disease [58], diabetic rats [59], and mice with atherosclerotic plaque formations [60]. However, our current results are contradictory to these initial findings.…”

“…30 Testiste MMP-2 aktivasyonu, sertoli hücreleri ve germ hücreleri arasındaki bağlantıları değiştirerek sertoli hücrelerinin azalmış destek kapasitesine katkıda bulunur ve bu tür bozulmalar, germ hücre dekolmanının başlamasına neden olur. 31 Yapılan bir in vivo çalışmada, bir MMP-2 inhibitörü ile ön tedavinin MMP-2 ile indüklenen germ hücre dekolmanı inhibe ettiği rapor edilmiştir. 32 Bir diğer çalışmada ise doksorubisin kaynaklı testis hasarında kurkumin ve kafeik asit fenetil ester tedavilerinin testis dokusu homojenatlarında MMP-2, -3, -8 ve -13 seviyelerini azalttığı rapor edilmiştir.…”
