Abstract

Introduction: Cancer is one of the most important healthcare problems in the world. Boric acid has cytotoxic activity, but there is insufficient data on its effectiveness for cancer development. In this study, we investigated the effect of boric acid on cancer development was investigated in the mouse model for Ehrlich tumor. Methods: In total, 21 female BALB/c mice (mean weight, 27.5 g; mean age, 4 months) were divided into three equal groups. In each group, 1000 Ehrlich tumor cells were implanted intraperitoneally. The first group was intraperitoneally administered 1 mg/day NaH3BO3 solution before Ehrlich tumor implantation. The second group was intraperitoneally administered 1 mg/day NaH3BO3 solution simultaneously with Ehrlich tumor implantation. The third group was intraperitoneally administered 1 ml/day 0.9% NaCl simultaneously with Ehrlich tumor implantation. All administrations continued until the subjects died. Results: None of the rats were sacrificed, and the weight increase time was considered as the starting point of the tumor. There was no significant difference between all groups with respect to tumor initiation times and survival times. Histopathological examinations revealed no significant differences between tumor foci and tumor diameters. Conclusion: The intraperitoneal administration of boric acid in the Ehrlich tumor model showed no effect on cancer development.

Özet

Amaç: Kanser en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Bor’un sitotoksiketkinliği biliniyor olmasına rağmen kanser gelişimi üzerindeki etkinliğinedair yeterli veri yoktur. Bu çalışmada borik asitin Ehrlich asittümör modelinde kanser gelişimi üzerindeki etkisi araştırıldı.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya alınan 21 adet Balb/c fare (ortalama ağrılıkları27,5 gr; ortalama yaşı 4 ay) üç eşit gruba ayrıdı. Her gruba intraperitonealolarak 1000 adet Ehrlich tümör hücresi ekildi. İlk gruba Ehrlichtümör ekiminden iki gün önce, ikinci gruba tümör ekimi ile aynızamanda 1mg/gün NaH3BO3 çözeltisi intraperitoneal uygulanmasınabaşlandı. Üçüncü gruba Ehrlich tümör ekimi ile aynı anda 1ml/gün%0,9 NaCl uygulanmasına başlandı. Tüm uygulamalar denekler ölünceyekadar hergün devam etti.Bulgular: Farelerin hiçbirine sakrifikasyon uygulanmadı ve devameden ağırlık artışı tümör başlangıç zamanın olarak kabul edildi. Tümörbaşlangıç zamanları ve yaşam süreleri değerlendirildiğinde tümgruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Histopatolojik incelemedetümör odak sayısı ve tümör çapları arasında anlamlı farklılıksaptanmadı.Sonuç: Ehrlich tümör modelinde intraperitoneal borik asid uygulamasıkanser gelişimi üzerinde etki göstermemektedir.
