Acceleration in the Repair and Regenerative Responses by Different Doses of Hesperidin in the Deep Full Thickness Cutaneous Wound of Mice Whole Body Exposed To 6 Gy of γ -Radiation
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ionizing radiations are necessary evil as everyone is exposed to them intentionally for diagnostic purposes or unintentionally from cosmic sources or background radiations. Ionizing radiations are known to cause adverse health effects at low to moderate doses whereas high doses are fatal. One of the adverse effects of ionizing radiations is the retardation of wound healing. We have studied the effect of different doses of hesperidin on the wound contraction in mice whole body exposed to 6 Gy of Íγ-irradiation. The mice were administered orally with a single dose of 0, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 250 or 500 mg/kg of hesperidin one hour before exposure to 6 Gy of γ-radiation. After 10 minutes of irradiation a full-thickness skin wound was produced on the dorsum of Swiss albino mice receiving various doses of hesperidin or not before exposure to 6 Gy γ-radiations. Assessment of wound contraction was carried out by capturing the video images of the wound on different post-irradiation days until complete healing of wounds and the mean wound healing time was determined by daily monitoring the progress of wound healing until complete closure of wounds. Administration of 10 to 500 mg/kg body weight of hesperidin resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the wound contraction when compared with non-drug treated control. A highest but significant wound contraction was observed for 100 mg/kg hesperidin at all the post-irradiation days. A complete healing of wounds was observed by day 16 post-irradiation in the hesperidin treated sham-irradiation group when compared to day 18.7 sham-irradiation group. The whole-body exposure of mice to 6 Gy of γ-radiation caused a significant delay in wound contraction and increased the mean wound healing time when compared to untreated control animals. Administration of different doses of hesperidin before 6 Gy irradiation progressively increased wound contraction and a maximum effect was observed at 100 mg/kg thereafter the effect was lesser than 100 mg/kg hesperidin. A similar effect was observed on mean wound healing time where the wound healing time was reduced by approximately two days when compared to irradiation alone. Our study demonstrates that hesperidin enhances the wound contraction and reduces the mean wound healing time.</p>
Introduction
A new era had begun with the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1885 in modern science and healthcare. Since, then research in nuclear materials, science and technology led to the increased use of nuclear materials for various applications in industry, medicine, science, military and nuclear facilities. The proliferation of radioactive materials in various specialties has increased the likelihood of accidental/intentional exposure to ionizing radiation. In medical field the, ionizing radiations have emerged as a powerful tool for the disease diagnosis and treatment of cancer or other similar conditions preoperatively, postoperatively, or as a sole treatment modality to treat cancer [1, 2, 3]. As many as half of all cancer patients receive some form of radiation treatment and despite improvements in radiation techniques, patients still experience adverse side effects of radiation [4, 5]. The acute radiation exposure coupled with combined injuries in the form of superimposed skin wounds and/or burn injury produce serious clinical problems. Combined injuries can also arise from nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima type, atomic bomb explosion and release of radioactive materials by terror outfits [6, 7, 8]. Irradiation along with other injuries acts synergistically, resulting in much greater morbidity and/or mortality than the radiation injury alone [10, 11, 12, 13]. For most patients, wounds heal naturally as the body works to heal itself. Yet for those whose healing process is delayed or complicated by other conditions, such as age, body size, chronic disease, nutritional status, vascular insufficiencies, immunosuppressant and radiation therapy, the wound site becomes a medical problem leading to delayed healing or chronic non-healing wounds that require specialized treatment and care [13, 14, 15]. Interaction of ionizing radiation with wounded tissue disrupts normal responses to injury leading to a protracted recovery period. Ionizing radiations cause damage to various tissues by means of energy transfer that generates highly reactive chemical products known as free radicals, which can subsequently combine with normal body chemicals and react with cellular components, leading to intracellular and molecular damage [16]. The primary targets of cell damage are cellular and nuclear membranes and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The skin cells suffer from the cytotoxic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated from the interaction between ionizing radiation and water molecules in the cells leading to loss of function of skin as a protective barrier over the body surface [17]. Other events associated with the phase of oxidative stress response in the skin are depletion of endogenous intra and intercellular antioxidants, enhancement of intracellular lipid peroxidation and the induction of specific signal transduction pathways that can modulate inflammatory, immune suppressive or apoptotic processes in the skin that could be detrimental to the normal functioning of the skin. To modulate the redox (antioxidant/pro-oxidant) balance in vivo, there is a general need for safe and effective antioxidants/skin protectants. Consequently, supplementation with exogenous antioxidants that scavenge ROS and restore normal redox state may be beneficial in such cases [18, 19, 20, 21]. Lebreton was the first to discover hesperidin in the year 1827 in an impure state and it has been investigated for its various properties since then [22]. Hesperidin also known as hesperitin-7-rhamnoglucoside or hesperitin-7- rutinoside is synthesized mainly by citrus plants as secondary metabolite. It is present in the discarded rinds of the ordinary orange Citrus aurantium L.C. sinensis, C. unshiu and other species of the Citrus genus [23, 24, 25, 26]. Hesperidin plays an important role in plant defense and the pulpy orange juice contains higher amount of hesperidin than the juice without pulp. Sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) and tangelos contain larger amount of hesperidin [27]. The analgesic, antiatherogenic, anti- inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiradical, diuretic, antiulcer and antiviral properties of hesperidin have been intensively studied in various study systems [24, 28, 29, 30, 31]. Hesperidin improves capillary permeability and increases their strength [32]. It facilitates vitamin C in keeping collagen in healthy condition and it is also required for absorption and use of vitamin C. Hesperidin inhibits oxidation of vitamin C in the body and is useful in hypertension. It prevents haemorrhages and helps in conditions of ruptured capillaries and connective tissues and builds a protective barrier against infections [33]. Hesperidin is an anti-cancerous, anti-microbial, anti- allergenic, anti-hypotensive, anti-proliferative and a vasodilator [34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39]. Hesperidin has been found to be hypolipidemic in humans and retard bone loss [40, 41]. Hesperidin alleviates hypotension, oxidative stress, nitric oxide synthase activity, and neurotoxicity. Hesperidin is active against Herpes simplex virus, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, platelet and erythrocyte aggregation and infection [24, 26, 28, 42, 43, 44]. The sub chronic administration of 5% hesperidin for 13 weeks has been found to be non-toxic in mice [45]. Hesperidin has been found to be non-toxic in animals and humans [31, 45]. The present study was undertaken to obtain an insight into the effect of different doses of hesperidin on the healing of deep dermal excision wound in mice exposed to 6 Gy whole-body γ-radiation.
Materials and Methods
The animal care and handling were carried out according to the guidelines of the World Health Organization, Geneva and the INSA (Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi). Eight to ten weeks old Swiss albino mice of either sex weighing 30 to 36 g were selected from an inbred colony maintained under the controlled conditions of temperature (23±2°C), humidity (50±5%) and light (12 h of light and dark, respectively). The animals were given free access to sterile food and water. The food consisted of 50% cracked wheat, 40% Bengal grams, 4% milk powder, 4% yeast powder, 0.75% sesame oil, 0.25% cod liver oil, and 1% salt. Four animals were housed in a polypropylene cage containing sterile paddy husk (procured locally) as bedding. The study was approved by the institutional animal ethical committee of the Manipal University, Manipal, India.
Preparation of Drug and Mode of Administration
Hesperidin (HPD) was procured from Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium. Since it is sparingly soluble in water the required amount of (HPD) was suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) immediately before administration to the animals. The animals were administered with a single dose of 0.01 ml/g b. wt. of CMC or HPD orally through an oral gavage before irradiation.
Experimental Design
This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of various doses of hesperidin on wound healing in the irradiated wounds of mice, where the animals were divided into the following groups: - CMC+sham-irradiation: The animals of this group received 0.01 ml/g body weight of 1% CMC before (0 Gy) sham-irradiation.
HPD +sham-irradiation: The animals of this group received 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight of hesperidin before sham-irradiation. CMC+irradiation: The animals of this group were administered with 0.01 ml/g body weight of 1% CMC before 6 Gy irradiation. HPD +irradiation: This group of animals was given 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight of hesperidin before 6 Gy irradiation.
Irradiation
One hour after the administration of CMC or hesperidin, each animal was placed into a specially designed well-ventilated acrylic restrainer and the whole body of the prostrate and immobilized animals was exposed to 0 or 6 Gy of γ-radiation, given at a dose rate of 1.35 Gy/min from a 60Co Teletherapy source (Theratron, Atomic Energy Agency, Ontario, Canada).
Production of Full-Thickness Skin Wound
The fur of the dorsum (below the rib cage) of each animal was removed with a cordless electric mouse clipper (Wahl Clipper Corporation, Illinois, USA) before exposure to 6 Gy γ-radiation and a full-thickness deep dermal excision wound was created on the dorsum (below the rib cage) of each animal within ten minutes of irradiation [31]. Briefly, the animals were anesthetized and the skin of the entire body was cleaned and decontaminated by wiping the whole body with sterillium (Bode Chemical Co. Hamburg, Germany) disinfectant solution. The cleared dorsal surface of the skin was marked with a sterile circular (15-mm-diameter) stainless steel stencil. A full-thickness cutaneous wound was created by excising the skin flap including penniculus carnosus in an aseptic environment using sterile scissors and forceps. Each wounded animal was housed in an individual sterile polypropylene cage.
Measurement of Wound Contraction
Wound contraction was monitored by capturing the video images of each full-thickness wound with a CCD camera connected to a computer [31]. The first image of each wound from different groups was obtained one day after wounding, and that day was considered as day one. The subsequent images were captured on 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 days post wounding. The wound area was calculated using Auto CAD R14 (Autodesk Inc., San Rafael, CA) software. Eight animals were used in each group at each drug dose and a total of 128 animals were used for this experiment.
Mean Wound Healing Time
A separate experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of various doses of hesperidin on the mean healing time (MHT) after exposure to 0 or 6 Gy whole-body γ- radiation except that no attempt was made to capture the video images after wounding (for details see above). All the animals in each group were monitored until complete healing of wounds visually and the day at which each wound closed completely was recorded. The mean of all the days was considered as mean wound healing time and expressed in days. Eight animals were used in each group at each drug dose and a total of 128 animals were used for this experiment.
Analysis of Data
Statistical significance between the treatments was determined using one-way ANOVA. The Solo 4 Statistical Package (BMDP Statistical Software Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA) was used for data analysis. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM (Standard error of mean).
Results
The results of wound contraction and mean wound healing time are presented in Figures 1-8.





Hesperidin dose (mg/kg) Figure 8: Alteration in the mean wound healing time of deep cutaneous excision wound in mice treated with different doses of hesperidin before exposure to 6 Gy of γ-radiation.
The progression of the healing of excision wounds can be evaluated by the periodic assessment of wound contraction. The area of each wound at a specific time has been expressed as the percentage of its original size on day one and the data are represented in Figures 1-7. Determination of wound contraction by capturing video images at different times after irradiation revealed a continuous contraction of excision wounds in CMC+ Sham -irradiation group (Figure 1). Oral administration of mice with different doses of HPD before exposure to sham- irradiation showed a progressive increase in wound contraction with time depending on the HPD dose, which was evident by continuous shrinkage of wound area (Figures 1-7). A statistically significant wound contraction was observed on day 3 (p < 0.005), 6 (p < 0.01 and 9 (p < 0.05) after sham-irradiation for all HPD doses, in comparison with CMC+ Sham -irradiation group (Figures 1-7). The degree of wound contraction increased with the increase in hesperidin dose up to 100 mg/kg when compared with other doses. A further increase in HPD dose did not alter this pattern significantly. However, hesperidin treatment caused an early closure of wounds when compared to CMC+ Sham – irradiation group (Figures 1-
significantly delayed the complete closure of wounds as a result the mean wound healing time also increased (23.33±0.49 days) for CMC+Irradiation group (Figure 8). This increase in mean wound healing time was approximately 5 days in CMC + Irradiation group when compared to CMC + Sham-irradiation group. Oral administration of animals with different doses of HPD progressively curtailed the wound healing time and a maximum attrition in wound healing was recorded for 100 mg/kg hesperidin, where it reduced to 21.5±0.56 days (p<0.03), whereas a borderline effect on the mean healing time was noticed at other doses of HPD when compared with CMC+Irradiation group although the difference was not statistically significant (Figure 8).
Discussion
The polyphenols, abundant in fruits and vegetables, have gained recognition for their antioxidant properties and their roles in protecting against chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases [33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 46]. A wound is a discontinuity or break in skin associated with the disruption of structures and function of the underlying tissues and immediate steps are required by the wound tissue to restore the continuity and physiological functions to avoid any pathophysiological implications [31, 47]. The healing processes need to go smoothly in such a way that it does not lead to any defect that shall affect the functioning of the tissue/s. The superficial incision wound on the skin are easy to heal and generally not defective unless underneath tissues are involved. However, deep excision wounds offer a challenge as their healing if not directed properly results in several complications and morbidity. Therefore, much care is required to direct proper healing of deep dermal wounded tissues using exogenous stimuli or agents that can guide the healing process to heal the wounds normally. The ionizing radiations adversely affect the wound healing processes and retard wound healing cascade leading to non-healing or defective wounds [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. The supplemental dietary agents may be a useful paradigm to properly direct the repair and regenerative processes in the irradiated wounds. Therefore, the present study was carried out to elucidate the effect of different doses of hesperidin on healing of full thickness deep dermal excision wounds in mice whole body exposed to 6Gy of γ-radiation. Wound healing is an orderly process that proceeds in a well-orchestrated manner after injury. It starts from inflammatory phase, which is triggered by the migration of neutrophils from the ruptured blood vessels followed by macrophages and lymphocytes at the wound site within 1-2 days [48, 49]. This is followed by overlapping proliferative and maturation and remodeling phases which are characterized by several cellular and biochemical events that progress in tandem with each other [48, 49, 50, 51]. The ionizing radiation has multiple negative effects on all these phases of wound healing [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. Wound contraction is an important event of repair and regenerative processes and it can be measured precisely by taking measurements of deep dermal wound by video imaging regularly until complete healing of the wound [12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 31]. Wound contraction is a dynamic phenomenon and it can be defined as the centripetal movement of the edges of a full thickness wound in order to facilitate closure of the defect [12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 31, 52, 53]. The exposure of mice to 6 Gy retarded the healing of wound and this observed delay in wound contraction is in good agreement with earlier reports, where a similar retardation in wound healing has been reported [10, 18, 19, 20, 21, 31]. Treatment of mice with different doses of hesperidin prior to whole body 6 Gy irradiation resulted in a dose-related acceleration in wound healing up to 100 mg/kg, as is evident by an increased wound contraction and early closure of wounds in the HPD+Irradiation group. The topical application of hesperidin has been found to accelerate wound contraction and reduce wound healing time in full thickness cutaneous wounds in whole body mice exposed to 6 Gy γ-radiation in an earlier study [31]. Certain nutrient factors including ascorbic acid and curcumin have been reported to accelerated early repair and regeneration of irradiated wounds in a dose related manner and a maximum effect could be observed up to a certain dose [10, 54]. Similarly, vitamin A supplementation and phenytoin sodium improved the acute radiation- induced delay in wound healing [55, 56]. Ascorbic acid, curcumin and Nigella sativa extract have been reported to enhance healing of irradiated excision wounds in mice in different preclinical settings [14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21]. Wound healing involves a cascade of well-orchestrated biochemical and cellular events leading to the growth and regeneration of wounded tissue in a specific manner and the ionizing radiation have been reported to produce diverse array of negative effects on wound healing processes that includes diminished vascularity, impairment of the proliferate capacity of fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells and decreased collagen and DNA syntheses [14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 57, 58, 59, 60]. The retardation in wound healing after irradiation may be due to the negative effect of radiation on important events of repair and regeneration. Ionizing radiation induces severe damage to vital tissues, especially those with a high rate of cell division, such as hematopoietic tissues that play an essential role in healing of wounds [60]. The ionizing radiations have been reported to sustain inflammatory phase by secretion of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-3, IL-5, and IL8, decrease fibroblast proliferation that lead to reduced extra cellular matrix deposition, collagen and DNA syntheses, which result in the impaired wound healing or defective wound healing [14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 57, 61]. The acceleration in wound repair and regeneration by hesperidin may be due to the neutralization of these negative effects in the present study. A similar effect has been observed earlier with ascorbic acid, curcumin and Nigella sativa extract [14, 18, 19, 20, 21]. The exact mechanism of acceleration in wound healing after hesperidin treatment may not be due to a single mechanism, but it could me due to operation of multiple mechanisms during the healing of irradiated wounds. The presence of HPD may have scavenged the radiation induced free radicals thereby neutralizing their effect and accelerating the repair and regeneration of irradiated wounds. The hesperidin has been reported to scavenge free radicals in an earlier study [31]. Irradiation and wound healing have been reported to prolong inflammatory responses [61]. Pretreatment of mice with HPD may have curtailed the duration of inflammatory responses to the required minimum and would have thus helped in the early regeneration and repair of irradiated wound. HPD has been reported to suppress the activation of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-8, and TNF-α [62]. It is also possible that the presence of HPD treatment before irradiation would have blocked the radiation- induced inhibition of cell cycle regulatory protein mRNAs to increase the capacity of fibroblast and endothelial cell division, which are essential for repair and regeneration of wound. The hesperidin treatment before irradiation has been found to increase fibroblast proliferation and blood vessel formation [63]. Wounding and irradiation has been reported to activate the transcriptional activation of NF-κB, COX-II and LOX [13, 64, 65]. Treatment of mice with HPD may have inhibited radiation-induced transcriptional activation of NF-κB, COX-II and LOX resulting in the early repair and regeneration of wounds. This is supported by the observation, where HPD has been reported to inhibit of NF-κB and COX-II activation [66]. The HPD increases Nrf2 expression that would have increased the activation of keratinocyte growth factor and accelerated the repair and regeneration of irradiated wound [62, 67]. Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role during repair and regeneration of wound, however their higher expression after irradiation has a negative impact on healing processes and delay wound healing [68, 69]. The HPD reduces the higher expression of matrix metalloproteinases leading to enhanced wound healing of the irradiated wound [69]. The HPD might have triggered the rise in collagen and DNA syntheses that would have helped in matrix remodelling and early repair of wound. HPD treatment may have also struck a balance between regeneration and apoptosis that are essential for wound repair which may have accelerated the repair and regeneration of wounds. HPD has been reported to enhance collagen and DNA syntheses in irradiated wounds [63]. HPD has been reported to reduce radiation- induced lipid peroxidation and increase the antioxidant status in the irradiated wound, which would have also helped in the early repair of irradiated wound in mice receiving HPD [70].
Conclusions
The present study demonstrates that hesperidin retards the radiation induced delay in healing of irradiated wounds in a dose dependent manner and the greatest augmentation in wound healing was observed for 100 mg/kg. This healing effect of HPD is due to scavenging of radiation-induced free radicals, anti- inflammatory and antioxidant activities and reduced lipid peroxidation. The augmentation in healing of irradiated wound may be also due to suppression of IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-κB, COX-II, LOX and matrix metalloproteinase activation by HPD after irradiation. The increase Nrf2 activity by HPD may have also contributed in the acceleration of repair and regeneration of irradiated wound in the present study. However further detailed studies are required to understand the clinical implications of these results.
