INTRODUCTION: Intestinal mucositis is a frequent limiting factor in anticancer
therapy and there is currently no broadly effective treatment targeted to cure
this side effect. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a
mucoadhesive formulation containing curcuminoids (MFC) from Curcuma longa L. on
the pathogenesis of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis. METHODS:
Three intraperitoneal 5-FU injections (200 mg/kg) were used to induce intestinal
mucositis in adult Swiss male mice. Treatment was provided orally (MFC 3.75, 7.5
and 15 mg/kg), thirty minutes before 5-FU injections, daily until euthanasia.
Duodenal samples were collected to perform morphometric and histopathological
analysis, to investigate the expression of Ki-67, p53, Bax and Bcl-2 by
immunohistochemistry, to evaluate neutrophil activity myeloperoxidase
(MPO)-mediated and oxidative stress by malondialdehyde (MDA) determination. Mice
body weight was assessed as well. RESULTS: As expected, 5-FU induced a
significant weight loss (?17%, P < 0.001), shortening in villi height (?55.4%)
and crypts depth (?47%), and increased (?64%) the histological severity score
when compared to other groups (P < 0.05). These pathological changes were
markedly alleviated by the three MFC treatment doses (P < 0.05), in special with
the dose MFC 15 mg/kg. This dose also stimulated cell proliferation by ?90% in
the epithelial cells lining from villi and crypts (P < 0.05), reduced MPO levels
and MDA formation by 60% and 44%, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our data
suggest the therapeutic potential of the formulation for treating intestinal
mucositis in mice. Supplementary studies are underway searching for the
elucidation of mechanisms involved in the protective effects of MFC in order to
make this formulation a clinical tool for mucositis treatment.
