TI  - The role of anakinra in the modulation of intestinal cell apoptosis and inflammatory response during ischemia/reperfusion
AB  - Background/aim: Even though interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, IL-1Ra, is used in certain inflammatory diseases, its effect on ischemia-reperfusion injury is a current research topic. We aimed to investigate the protective effects of anakinra, an IL-1Ra, on the I/R induced intestinal injury. Materials and methods: The rat model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion was induced. Rats were randomized into 4 groups: (group 1) control group, (group 2) I/R group, (group 3 and 4) treatment groups (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively). Gene expressions of caspase-3, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6, and apoptotic cells in tissue samples were evaluated by PCR and TUNEL methods, respectively. Plasma levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were studied by the ELISA method and tissue samples were examined histopathologically as well. Results: Anakinra inhibited the expression of IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α and decreased the SOD, CAT, and MDA caused by ischemiareperfusion injury in both treatment groups. Caspase-3 expression and TUNEL-positive cell number in treatment groups were also less. Histopathologically, anakinra better preserved the villous structure of the small intestine at a dose of 100 mg/kg than 50 mg/kg.Conclusion: Anakinra decreased the intestinal damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion and a dose of 100 mg/kg was found to be histopathologically more effective.Key words: Ischemia reperfusion injury, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, anakinra
