Abstract
I n t r o d u c t i o n. Testicular hyaluronidase preparations are widely used in medical practice. Modification of native biologically active molecules by electron beam PEGylation allows to improve their pharmacokinetic properties, which determines a subsequent improvement of pharmacodynamic effects. The development of an original oral drug with a pharmacologically active core, which is hyaluronidase, is promising, but requires studying the safety of use at the preclinical stage.
A i m. Ultrastructural evaluation of hepatotoxic effects of PEGylated hyaluronidase in vitro.
M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s. The object of a study was testicular hyaluronidase PEGylated on polyethylene oxide (PEG-HYAL) using electron beam synthesis. The culture medium is a continous culture of human liver cells Chanq liver. The cytotoxic effect was detected by the MTT assay. Ultrastructural changes were evaluated by electron microscopy.
R e s u l t s. The original drug PEG-HYAL in the studied concentrations of 37, 75 and 150 U/ml has no cytotoxic effect on the human liver cell culture (hepatocytes). Cell viability is virtually at the control level when PEG-HYAL administration at concentrations of 37 and 75 U/ml, and in the maximum concentration of 150 U/ml, cell proliferation is stimulated significantly, as evidenced by an increase in cell viability up to 106%. The results of evaluation of ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes showed that exposure to PEG-HYAL in all concentrations leads to the enhancement of metabolic processes in cells, development of autophagy, which is one of the main homeostatic processes.
C o n c l u s i o n. The drug PEG-HYAL in all studied concentrations has no toxic effect on the human hepatocyte culture. The results obtained can be used in further research in the development of PEG-HYAL.
