Cytotoxic, Genotoxic and Oxidative Effects of Cladonia furcata (Huds.) Schrad. on Human Peripheral Lymphocytes
Abstract
In
the present study, it was aimed the evaluation of activities of methanol and
water extracts (respectively, CME and CSE) obtained from Cladonia furcata (Huds.) Schrad. on human lymphocytes. In order to test cytotoxic effect in lymphocytes, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide and lactate dehydrogenase tests were used. Oxidative stress and
genotoxicity changes in the cells were also examined with total oxidant status
and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels, respectively. In
addition to these assays, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) changes in
lymphocytes treated with extracts were also determined. It was revealed that
low concentrations of CSE did not show cytotoxic effect at high levels (IC50=221,14 mg/L). Performed correlation
analyzes showed that cytotoxicity was associated with oxidative stress (p < 0,01). Considering all
applications, it was determined that CSE did not statistically (p > 0,05) cause genetic damage on
cells compared to negative control. Based on TAC in cells, it is notable that
certain concentrations of the extracts (12,5-50 mg/L) significantly increased
TAC (p < 0,05). Consequently, the
resulting data reveal that especially CSE can be a source of new therapeutic
agents due to its high antioxidant properties, without causing genotoxic and
oxidative stress on lymphocytes.
