3 1.2 Natural chemopreventive agents Caffeic Acid, Geraniol, Silibinin and Quercetin were purchased from Sigma Aldrich Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., India. Soy Isoflavones from Novasoy, USA. 1.3 Animals Six to eight week old female Swiss albino mice (25 30 g), free from pathogens, were obtained from the Central Animal House facility of Hamdard University, New Delhi, India. Animals were housed in a well-ventilated room at 25 o C under a 12 h light dark cycle in polypropylene cages and have free access to standard laboratory feed (Hindustan Lever Ltd., Bombay, India) and water ad libitum. Study protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) of the university and animals were undergone to experiment with the approved ethical guidelines. The dorsal portions of the mice skin were shaved with an electric clipper (Oster A2) followed by the application of hair removing cream (Anne French, Geoffery Manners, Bombay, India) at least two days before treatment. Excess cream was washed off with lukewarm water dipped in cotton sorbs. Only mice that showed no signs of hair regrowth were included in the experiments. 2. Methodology 2.1 Tissue processing After the desired time period, control and treated animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Skin tissues from the sacrificed animals of each group were excised and washed with ice cold sodium chloride (0.85 %). A piece of skin was preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histological observation Homogenization Skins tissues were homogenised in appropriate buffer (usually, phosphate buffer, 0.1 M, ph 7.4) using polytron homogenizer (Kinematica-AGPT 3000). 50
4 2.1.2 Subcellular fractionation The tissue homogenates were filtered through a muslin cloth and was centrifuged in a Remi Cooling Centrifuge (C-24 DL) at 3000 rpm for 10 min at 4 C to separate the nuclear debris. The aliquot so obtained was centrifuged at 10,500 x g for 30 min at 4 C to obtain post mitochondrial supernatant (PMS), which was used as a source of various enzymes Parameters Edema measurement Skin edema was assessed by the method of Afaq et al. (2005). Weight of skin punch (1cm diameter, free from extraneous materials) was measured. After drying for 24 h at 50 C, the skin punch was reweighed and loss of water content was determined. An increase in the mass of skin punch is directly proportional to the degree of inflammation. The extent of skin edema was determined by using the difference in the water gain between control and treated groups Measurement of nitric oxide (NO) Production of NO was evaluated by measuring the level of nitrite (an indicator of NO) in the skin tissue supernatants using Griess reagent as described by Green et al. (1982). Briefly, 100 μl of tissue supernatants were mixed with 100 μl Griess reagent [0.1% N- (1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride, 1% sulfanilamide, and 2.5% H 3 PO 4 ]. After incubation at room temperature for 10 min, the absorbance at 540 nm was measured by Microplate ELISA reader (Bio RAD, U.S.A.).The concentration of nitrite in the sample was determined from a sodium nitrite (NaNO 2 ) standard curve and was expressed as μmol nitrite/mg protein Assay for myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity MPO activity was assayed by the method of Bradley et al. (1982). Skin tissue homogenate was prepared in 50 mm K 2 HPO 4 buffer (ph 6.0) containing 0.5% hexadecyl trimethyl 51
5 ammonium bromide. Samples were centrifuged at 2500 x g for 30 min at 4 C immediately after three cycles of sonication and freezing thawing. In 0.1 ml of supernatant MPO activity was measured, using 0.3 ml phosphate buffer (50 mm, ph 6.0) containing mg/ml o-dianisidine dihydrochloride and % hydrogen peroxide as substrates, at 460 nm over 5 min. MPO activity was expressed in unit which is defined as quantity of the enzyme degrading the 1µ mol of H 2 O 2 / min at 25 c.

Skin tissue were excised out and fixed in Bovin s fluid for hrs. The tissues were then rehydrated by passing through graded series of ethyl alcohol (50%, 70%, 90% and 100%) for one hour in each giving two changes. These were then cleared in xylene (two changes of one hour each). The cleared tissue were placed for five minutes in xylene containing molten paraffin wax at C for infiltration. Sections were deparaffinised by dipping in xylene and given two changes. These slides were then passed through graded concentrations of ethyl alcohol (30%, 50%, 70%, 90% and 100%) with two changes of two minutes each. Then keep 55
9 stained with hematoxylin for one minute and again washed in running water thoroughly. Slides were then passed through 50% and 70% ethyl alcohol and subsequently put into eosin stain {prepared in 70%, 90%, 100%, 100% + xylene (1:1)} and finally they were given two changes of xylene. All slides were mounted in DPX. They were covered with glass cover slips and kept at room temperature for drying. Histological changes/ analysis were observed with microscope (fluorescent microscope, Olympus) at least in six different regions Measurement of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β proteins level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (ebioscience, Inc., San Diego., USA). Samples were prepared in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing protease inhibitor cocktail. Analysis was performed according to the manufacturer s instruction Protein estimation The protein concentration in all samples was determined by the method of Lowry et al. (1951). Peptide bonds form a complex with alkaline copper sulphate reagent, which gives a blue colour with Folins reagent. Briefly, 0.1ml (10% w/v) was diluted to 1ml water and protein precipitated with equal volume of TCA (10%), samples were kept overnight 4 0 C and centrifuged at 800 X g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was decanted and discarded. The pellet was dissolved in 5ml of NaOH (1N). Finally 0.1ml of diluted aliquot was taken for colour development. 0.1ml of aliquot was further diluted to 1ml with water and then 2.5ml of alkaline copper sulphate reagent containing sodium carbonate (2%), copper sulphate (1%), and sodium potassium tartarate (2%) was added. Following 10 minutes after addition of alkaline copper sulphate reagent to allow complex formation 0.25ml of Folin s reagent was added. After 30 minutes blue colour developed that was read at 660 nm for standard Bovine serum albumin (BSA 0.1mg/ml) was used. 56
10 Immunohistochemical analysis The dorsal skin tissues were fixed in formalin and paraffinized sections of 5 μm thickness were cut on to poly-lysine coated glass slides. Sections were deparaffinized three times (5 min each) in xylene fallowed by dehydration in graded ethanol and finally rehydrated in running tap water. For antigen retrieval sections were boiled in 10 mm citrate buffer (Ph 6.0) for 5-7 min. Sections were incubated with hydrogen peroxide for 15 min to minimize nonspecific staining and then washed three times (5 min each) with 1X TBST (0.05% Tween-20). Sections were incubated first with power block for 10 min and then for overnight with the primary antibodies at 4 C. Further processing was done by using poly- HRP plus one detection system from Thermo scientific. The peroxides complex was visualized with 3, 3- diaminobenzidine. Lastly the slides were counterstained with haematoxylin. Slides were then cleaned in xylene, gradually dehydrated with ethanol, after DPX mounting microscopic (Fluorescent Microscope, Olympus) analysis was done Genomic DNA extraction and gel electrophoresis Genomic DNA was extracted according to the method of Maniatis et al. (1982) with some modifications. Briefly, tissue samples ( g) were homogenized in 5 ml of a DNA extraction buffer (1M Tris HCL, 0.5M EDTA, RNase 5 mg, 5% SDS, ph 8.0) and incubated for 1h. After adding 100 µl proteinase K (10 mg/ml stock) the samples were incubated over night in a shaking water bath at C. DNA was extracted twice with a mixture of equal volume of saturated phenol (ph 8.0) and centrifuged at 3,000 x g for 10 min. Then 1 ml of ammonium acetate (10M) was added to each sample and mixed gently for 5 min. DNA was precipitated with 10 ml of chilled EtOH (100 %). After extensive washing with EtOH (70 %), DNA strands were hook out with pipette. DNA was then dried and resuspended in 100µl of Tris-EDTA buffer or distilled water. Thereafter, DNA (10 μl) from each sample was loaded onto 1.2 % agarose gel, containing 0.5 μg/ml ethidium bromide and electrophoresed at 25V for 12 h in TBE buffer for the analysis of 57
11 DNA fragmentation which was detected by using the gel documentation system (Alpha Innotech). 3. Statistical analysis The data from individual groups are presented as the means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Differences between groups were analyzed by using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test and minimum criterion for statistical significance was set at p<0.05 for all comparisons. 58
