Abstract:
Objective To investigate the immunosuppressive effect ofcurcumin on xenogenic skin transplantation in mice.Methods The skin transplantation model was established by an operation,tergal skin flaps from BALB/c donor mice transplanted to the back of C57BL/6 recipient mice.Then recipient mice were divided into five groups at random,namely sham,model,curcumin (50 mg/kg),Cyclosporin A (10 mg/kg) and curcumin + Cyclosporin A (50 mg/kg + 5 mg/kg).All mice were ip administered once daily for 10 d.The survival days of skin graft were recorded in all groups.The interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels in plasma of all mice were determined by ELISA 4 and 8 d after the operation,respectively.Results The mean survival time of skin graft in curcumin,Cyclosporin A and curcumin + Cyclosporin A groups were 14.77,16.81 and 19.96 d,respectively,which showed significant.differences comparing with 12.10 d of model group (P ＜ 0.01).Combination of curcumin and Cyclosporin A administration showed a longer mean survival days than curcumin or Cyclosporin A group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The IL-2 levels in plasma of mice in curcumin,Cyclosporin A and curcumin + Cyclosporin A groups on postoperative day 4 were 3.68,2.05 and 2.70 ng/mL,respectively,which were significantly reduced than 4.76 ng/mL of model group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The IL-2 levels in plasma of mice in curcumin,Cyclosporin A and combination of curcumin and Cyclosporin A groups on postoperative day 8 were 4.06,2.11 and 2.95 ng/mL,respectively,which were significantly reduced than 5.85 ng/mL of model group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Curcumin may have a good immunosuppressive effect on mice with xenogenic skin transplantation.
