Caspase 3 role and immunohistochemical expression in assessment of apoptosis as a feature of H1N1 vaccine-caused Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI).
Electronic Physician 2017 May
BACKGROUND: Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) changes, occur post exposure to natural or chemical compounds including apoptosis.
AIM: To assess the H1N1 vaccine-caused DILI by histochemical and immunohistochemical methods.
METHODS: This 2014's experimental study was conducted on 70 albino rats. They were given Arepanrix(TM) H1N1 vaccine and were divided into 7 groups; 10 mice each, as control (non-vaccinated), vac2 and vac4 injected with 1(st) and 2(nd) doses of vaccine (suspension only) and euthanized after 3 weeks each, vac5 euthanized 6 weeks after 2(nd) dose, mix2 and mix4 injected with 1(st) and 2(nd) doses of vaccine (mixture of suspension and adjuvant) and euthanized after 3 weeks each, mix5 and euthanized 6 weeks after 2(nd) dose. Histopathological evaluation and histochemical assessment of metabolic protein, glycogen and collagen changes using PAS, bromophenol blue, Mallory's trichrome and immunohistochemistry for caspase 3 on liver tissue paraffin sections were done. Image analysis system Leica QIIN 500 was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS software, using descriptive statistics and ANOVA.
RESULTS: Histopathological changes ranging from subtle up to necrosis were noticed, mainly in mix groups. Metabolic protein and glycogen changes were the maximum in mix5 group (p<0.01). Collagen deposition in sinusoids was higher in mix groups, and maximally in vac5 and mix5. Apoptotic hepatocytes expressing diffuse strong nuclear and cytoplasmic caspase 3 were the highest in mix5.
CONCLUSION: H1N1 vaccine can cause DILI by either direct toxic or idiosyncratic metabolic type reactions rather than immunologic hypersensitivity type. It ranges from subtle changes up to necrosis. Caspase 3 is pivotal in liver damage etiology, apoptosis induction and processing. Follow up for at least 2 months after the 2(nd) dose of H1N1 vaccine is recommended to rule out H1N1-induced DILI.
