A recombinant human interleukin-1β protects adriamycin-induced toxicity

Adriamycin cardiotoxicity and interleukin-1

  • Published:

Abstract

Pretreatment with recombinant human interleukin-1β (IL-1) protected normal BALB/c mice from the lethal effect adriamycin (ADM) of related to dose and frequency of administration. Posttreatment with IL-1 failed to protect. Neutrophil and platelet counts after the administration of ADM (16mg/kg) did not differ between the group with and that without IL-1 pretreatment, whereas lipid peroxide levels in the heart were reduced in the group pretreated with IL-1. It appears that the chemoprotection mechanism of IL-1 lies in the prevention of cardiotoxicity due to ADM-induced free radicals.
