Abstract :The main focus of this study is to investigate oxidative/nitrosative stress and antioxidant effects and immunohistochemical effects in cisplatin-induced lung toxicity. In the study, 12 male Sprague Dawley rats, 2 months old, were divided into two groups: control (n=6) and cisplatin (n=6). Isotonic solution was administered to control and cisplatin 10 mg/kg single dose intraperitoneal to cisplatin group. Reducte glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were determined by spectrophotometricmethod in the lung tissues taken. Paraffin blocks were made from lung tissues and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Immunohistochemically, p53, CD3, CD20, Bcl-2 ve Ki67 were evaluated. It was found that cisplatin administration alone had no effect on MDA and GSH values in the lung tissue of rats, and NO levels were significantly increased (P<0.005). In the histopathological evaluation of the lung tissue, congestion-bleeding findings, intense inflammation areas, lymphoid follicles around the bronchi and bronchioles were seen with HE staining. Concentric fibrous and fibrinous plugs consisting of blood-fibrin and inflammatory cells and fibroblasts in the airways were observed, with low-density edema between the alveoli. Reactive pan B cell markers CD20, T-cell marker CD3 in the interstitial component and desmin in sub-epithelial cells were stainedpositively by immunohistochemical staining, while reactive germinal centers Bcl-2 and p53 applied to the bronchioles and alveolarducts were immunohistochemically stained negative. In addition, low-intensity nuclear staining was found with Ki67 immunohistochemical staining.In conclusion, significant increase in NO level and immunohistochemically intense inflammation, lymphoid follicles, fibrous and fibrinous plugs are an expression of the onset of cisplatin-induced lung injury..
