Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an extremely aggressive solid tumor and relates to numerous cases of cancer-associated deaths globally. Current studies reveal that natural compounds retain various therapeutic effects. This study was aimed to investigate the beneficial antitumor effects of camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk antibodies (CM-IgG) on diethylnitrosamine (DENA)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma in male Wistar rats. Hepatocarcinoma was induced in rats using DENA (50 mg/kg, twice/week) for 2 weeks followed by CCl4 (1 ml/kg, trice/week) for 6 weeks. At week 17th, HCC-bearing rats were orally administrated CM-IgG (100 mg/kg, orally) daily for 4 weeks. Liver enzyme activities and levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were measured in serum. Lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined in liver homogenate. Histological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin stain was examined in liver tissues. Hepatic mRNA gene expression of placental glutathione-s-transferase (GST-P) was determined by qRT-PCR. Treatment HCC-bearing rats with CM-IgG significantly reduced liver injury biomarkers and attenuated oxidative stress as well as enhanced antioxidant status. Moreover, CM-IgG significantly alleviated hepatocellular morphology alterations and down-regulated GST-P gene expression levels in liver. Our results revealed the potential role of total immunoglobulin IgG purified from camel milk in amelioration of DENA-induced hepatocellular dysfunction and oxidative stress in hepatocarcinoma-bearing rats.
