PG - 737-745 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1001-9391.2019.10.005 [doi] AB - Objective: To investigate the antioxidant mechanism of diallyl sulfide (DAS) in antagonizing the reduction in peripheral blood white blood cells (WBC) induced by benzene in rats. Methods: A total of 60 specific pathogen-free adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, with a body weight of 180-220 g, were selected, and after 5 days of adaptive feeding, they were randomly divided into blank control group, DAS control group, benzene model group, benzene+low-dose DAS group, benzene+middle-dose DAS group, and benzene+high-dose DAS group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the benzene+low-dose DAS group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group, the benzene+high-dose DAS group, and the DAS control group were given DAS by gavage at a dose of 40, 80, 160, and 160 mg/kg.bw, respectively, and those in the blank control group and the benzene model group were given an equal volume of corn oil; 2 hours later, the rats in the benzene model group, the benzene+low-dose DAS group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group, and the benzene+high-dose DAS group were given a mixture of benzene (1.3 g/kg.bw) and corn oil (with a volume fraction of 50%), and those in the blank control group and the DAS control group were given an equal volume of corn oil. The above treatment was given once a day for 4 consecutive weeks. At 1 day before treatment, anticoagulated blood was collected from the jugular vein for peripheral blood cell counting. After anesthesia with intraperitoneally injected pentobarbital (50 mg/kg.bw), blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta, serum was isolated, and the thymus, the spleen, and the femur were freed at a low temperature to measure oxidative and antioxidant indices. The femur at one side was freed for WBC counting in bone marrow. Results: Compared with the blank control group, the benzene model group had significant reductions in the volume, weight, and organ coefficient of the spleen and the thymus (P<0.05) ; compared with the benzene model group, the benzene+low-dose DAS group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group, and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had significant increases in the volume of the spleen and the thymus and the weight and organ coefficient of the spleen (P<0.05), and the benzene+middle-dose DAS group and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had significant increases in the weight and organ coefficient of the thymus (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the benzene model group had a significant reduction in WBC count in peripheral blood and bone marrow (P<0.05), and compared with the benzene model group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had a significant increase in WBC count in peripheral blood and bone marrow (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the benzene model group had a significant increase in the serum level of malondialdehyde (MDA) (P<0.05) and significant reductions in total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, reduced glutathione (GSH) level, GSH/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) (P<0.05) ; compared with the benzene model group, the benzene+high-dose DAS group had a significant reduction in the serum level of MDA and significant increases in T-SOD activity, GSH level, GSH/GSSG ratio, and T-AOC (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the benzene model group had a significant increase in the level of MDA (P<0.05) and significant reductions in GSH level, GSH/GSSG ratio, and T-AOC (P<0.05) in the spleen; compared with the benzene model group, the benzene+low-dose DAS group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group, and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had a significant reduction in MDA level (P<0.05) and significant increases in GSH level and T-AOC (P<0.05), and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had significant increases in T-SOD activity and GSH/GSSG ratio (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the benzene model group had a significant increase in the level of MDA in bone marrow cells (BMCs) and peripheral blood mononucleated cells (PBMCs) (P<0.05) and a significant reduction in T-AOC in PBMCs (P<0.05) ; compared with the benzene model group, the benzene+low-dose DAS group, the benzene+middle-dose DAS group, and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had a significant reduction in the level of MDA in BMCs and PBMCs (P<0.05), and the benzene+high-dose DAS group had significant increases in GSH level and GSH/GSSG ratio (P<0.05) . Conclusion: DAS can antagonize the benzene-induced reduction in peripheral blood WBC, possibly by exerting an anti-oxidative stress effect.
