Objective To investigate the radioprotective effect of cimetidine on survival rate and hematopoietic system in acutely irradiated mice.Methods The total body irradiation doses were 6.0Gy and 8.0Gy respectively at 1.01Gy/min rate. Sixty healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, positive-drug (523) group and cimetidine groups (33.3mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 300mg/kg). Each group had ten mice. The mice were given intragastric administration of cimetidine for 6d before the irradiation in cimetidine groups, and 523 was administered before irradiation once a day for one day in 523 group, and at 5h after irradiation, was given again. The 30d survival rate after 8.0Gy irradiation was recorded. The peripheral blood cells, bone marrow DNA content and frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (fMNPCE) were determined 30d after 6.0Gy irradiation.Results After 8.0Gy irradiation, all the mice died on 21th day in model control group. The survival rates in cimetidine groups were 50%, 20% and 30%, respectively. After 6.0Gy irradiation on 30th day, compared with control group, the peripheral white blood cells (WBC) and bone marrow DNA content were decreased significantly (P<0.01,P<0.05) in model group, and fMNPCE was increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, WBC was significantly increased in 300mg/kg cimetidine group (P<0.01). In cimetidine groups, the bone marrow DNA content was increased significantly after irradiation (P<0.01 orP<0.05), and the fMNPCE was decreased significantly (P<0.01 orP<0.05) and tended towards normal.Conclusion Cimetidine could improve 30d survival rate of acutely irradiated mice and has good protective effect on hematopoietic system.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of cimetidine on low dose rate irradiation-induced liver cell apoptosis in Beagle dogs. METHODS: Healthy male Beagle dogs were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group, positive drug group (lentinan, 21.33 mg/kg) and cimetidine low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (5.33, 10.67, 21.33 mg/kg), with 4 Beagle dogs each. Except for normal control group, other groups were given 60Co-γ accumulative irradiation (dosage rate: 0.040 8 mGy/min) for 23 d; the medication groups were given relevant medicine orally before irradiation, once a day. Twenty-four hours after stopping irradiation, TUNEL method was used to detect the apoptosis of liver cells in Beagle dogs. The percentage of apoptotic cells was calculated. The expression level of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, p53) in liver tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, apoptotic cells and Bax, Caspase-3, p53 positive cells were increased significantly in liver tissue of Beagle dogs in model control group; the percentage of apoptotic cells, protein expression levels of Bax, Caspase-3 and p53 were increased significantly; Bcl-2 positive cells were decreased significantly, and its protein expression level was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model control group, above positive cells of liver tissue in Beagle dogs were changed to different extents in medication groups; the percentage of apoptotic cells and protein expression levels of p53 in medication groups, protein expression levels of Bax in positive drug group, cimetidine low-dose and high-dose groups as well as protein expression levels of Caspase-3 in cimetidine groups were decreased significantly; protein expression levels of Bcl-2 were increased significantly in cimetidine groups. The percentage of apoptotic cells in cimetidine medium-dose and high-dose groups as well as protein expression levels of Caspase-3 in cimetidine groups were all lower than positive control group. Protein expression level of p53 in cimetidine low-dose group was significantly higher than positive drug group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Cimetidine can inhibit the low dose rate irradiation-induced apoptosis of liver cells in Beagle dogs, and certainly protect liver cells against irradiation. The mechanism of it may be associated with up-regulating the protein expression of Bcl-2 and down-regulating the protein expression of Bax, Caspase-3 and p53 in liver cells.
