Abstract

 Objective: It has been suggested that the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression plays an important role in radiation-induced injury to the SPINAL CORD. This study assesses the radio protective effects of N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin) through its modulation of VEGF expression after localized irradiation of the cervical SPINAL CORD.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we divided 192 male rats into four groups: 1. control (n=48); 2. Rats that received an intraperitoneal (IP) injection of MELATONIN (n=48); 3. Rats that received an IP injection of MELATONIN 30 minutes prior to cervical SPINAL CORD gamma irradiation [dose: 22 Gy; (n=48)]; and 4. rats that received an IP injection of vehicle prior to SPINAL CORD irradiation (n=48). The changes in VEGF expression were assessed using real-time RT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Samples for light microscopy were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H& E). The differences among the groups were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.Results: Up-regulation of VEGF expression was observed from 8 to 22 weeks after irradiation (p<0.05). Paralysis and other radiation-induced myelopathy manifestations developed within 22 weeks after irradiation. VEGF expression in the MELATONIN pre-treatment group significantly down-regulated in the 20th and 22nd weeks after irradiation compared to the radiation-only group.Conclusion: The results support the hypothesis that modulation of VEGF expression by MELATONIN administration may increase the survival rate of irradiated animals.
