ABSTRACT

 

Farnia V, Zhaleh H, Zangeneh MM, Zangeneh A, Shahmoradi Z., Effect of Hydralazine on morphine-induced MCF-7 cell death. Onl J Vet Res., 21(9):572-579, 2017.     Effect of hydralazine on morphine induced death of MCF-7 cells is described. Hydralazine as a vasodilator affects cellular proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. MCF-7 cells were grown in DMEM culture media, FBS, NEAA, L-glutamine, penicillin and streptomycin in T-25 cm2 tissue culture flasks.  The 7 treatments were: 1mM morphine controls and/or with 1, 10, 100uM or nM hydralazine. Conditioning media was harvested as hydralazine and 1 day after plating, cells were washed with PBS. Cell viability was determined by trypan blue and cell death, by Hoescht/PI stains. Results showed a dose dependent effect of hydralazine on morphine treated MCF-7 cell viability and death (p<0.05). The effect of different concentrations of hydralazine on MCF-7 cells indicated a time-dependent increase in neurite elongation (p<0.05) at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours, The findings suggest that hydralazine increased proliferation and growth of cell lines and may have inhibited cell death induced by morphine. Clinical trials are required to validate the findings In Vivo.
