Abstract The current study deals with the effect of N-Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced traumatic brain injury on male albino rats, as well as the outcome results of treatment with paclitaxel nanoparticles for a period of 8 weeks with two-week intervals is the concern of the present study. Mean body weight, as well as brain weight, was considered as the main parameters whereas a detailed immunohistochemical study on rat brain sections was performed. Astrocytic biomarkers for the diagnosis of astrocytes by fibrillary glial acidic protein (GFAP). Neuronal GFAP staining used for various broke sections were forwarded. Comparison and Contrast of all these parameters in all steps of the experiment had been discussed. The efficiency of the treatment was found to be evident. The effect on body weight was significant whereas brain weight results showed insignificant differences. A longer duration of treatment may well reflect more significant results. Keywords: Paclitaxel Nanoparticles, N-Diethylnitrosamine, Immunohistochemistry, Neuron, Fibrillary Glial Acidic Protein (GFAP), Brain injury, Rats. 1. Introduction Cancer is a major public health problem as it is one of the most prevalent disorders around the globe due to unavailability of the effective drugs so far however mortality rate associated with this disease seems to exceed globally even that of cardiac disorders [1]. “N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)" which is an organic compound with the empirical formula of "C4H10N2O" with IUPAC name of “Diethyl nitrous amide, it is known as "N-Ethyl-N- nitrosoethanamine” or “Diethyl nitrosamine [2]. This compound is highly light-sensitive, and yellow in color, it is soluble in water and several organic solvents, as well as in lipids [3]. This compound is widely used in several industrial processes. Still, by heating, it discharges nitrogen oxide which is a highly toxic fume [4]. Biologically it negatively affects the DNA integrity through doi.org/10.30526/36.2.3026 Article history: Received 20 September 2022, Accepted 31 October 2022, Published in April 2023.

It is widely used in different research projects to induce cancer in the liver cell because of its carcinogenic nature [6]. Diethyl nitrosamine has also been reported to affect the disturbance of the structure of arginine (amino acid) [7]. Among all carcinogenic known agents, NKK is considered one of the strong cancer-causing agents which induce cancer in a laboratory to rat lungs and liver. Further, it was also found to induce cancer in the aerodigestive tract and lungs in several animals like a hamster, mice, and rats [6,8]. Paclitaxel was reported to be an efficient novel drug against cancer [9]. However, Paclitaxel as a drug was successfully used as an anticancer drug and for the management of the deadliest and most prevalent ovarian cancer, as well as the advanced stage of breast cancer. After administration of this drug, it was found t it, it can be absorbed by the spleen and liver in large quantities still trace amounts may be found in the brain, kidney, lungs, and heart [10]. Lipid peroxidation that is caused by Diethyl nitrosamine [11,12], showed the possible effect on crossing or breaking the blood-brain barrier, which might increase brain oxidative stress and may lead to neurotoxicity. Diethyl, nitrosamine (DEN) is common for its hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity effect, but so far only limited studies performed on its a few research have examined its neurotoxicity effect and cytotoxicity against breast cancer [11,13,14]., who proposed more investigation on the degree of oxidative stress and morphological alterations in rats, and cerebellar cortex after chronic exposure to DEN. Some common examples of TBI-related biomarkers are neuron-specific enolase, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, tau protein, neurofilament, myelin basic protein, S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), interleukin 6 (IL-6,) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) [13,15]. The present study aims to investigate and follow up the effect of the single dose of N-Diethyl nitrosamine against one dose concentration of treatment with Paclitaxel Nanoparticles (PX NPS), in rat brain and body weight through chemotherapy. All variations and effects have been monitored and examined for a period of 8 weeks on two weeks’ intervals. actually, the investigation is to point out the most suitable period of time for the applied dose on brain injuries in albino rate. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Animals studies The present investigation deled with thirty (30) male Albino Domestic rats, (Rattus norvegicus) weighting around 250-300g B.W. at the beginning of each experiment. animal house of the Department of All animals were maintained at a constant temperature (23 ±1˚C), on a 12h dark/light cycle, rats were maintained on standard rat pallets manufactured to a formula supplied by the Medical Research of Soran University. All experimental protocols were approved by the Ethical Review Committee ERC- 26-113, Soran University, Soran-Iraq. 2.2 Experiment design Experimental animals (rats) were divided into six groups each of five (n=5). Table 1 shows the treatment schedule of each group. Distill water (DW)were used as a solvent for reconstitution of DEN, and also for Paclitaxel suspension. The rats were divided into five groups (n=8). Table 1 showed the treatment schedule of each group. Distil water (DW) used for both as a solvent for reconstitution of extract, and also for glipalamide suspension. The project was designed to examine and find out the effect of a single dose (80) mg/kg of carcinogenic ability of N-Diethyl nitrosamine “C4H10N2O” (13). with a single dose concentration on the whole rat as and on rat brain as an organ before and after treatment with paclitaxel C47H51NO14(14) cared out for a period of 8 IHJPAS. 36(2)2023 45 weeks with 2week interval as follows: Out of the total of 30 rats, five rats as one group used as negative control. Whole remaining 25rats were injected with 80mg/kg(0.5ml). Five rat was scarified after two weeks of injection and regarded as positive control. Then after the remained 20 rats were faced treatment with paclitaxel 80mg/kg daily for a period of 8 weeks every 2weeks scarification of (5 rats) as a group took place whole animal weight and brain weight took place and recorded fortnightly. Table 1: Experimental design of the treatment group. 2.3 Determination of rat body and brain weight An average of numerous readings was calculated in order to estimate mean weight of the whole body and brain weight. Multiple replications were performed to ensure accuracy. Then mean value was estimated and used in this paper. This procedure took place using a sensitive balance (Mettler, PN1 21 0). That have a sensitivity up to 0.01 mg. 2.4 Histological tissue processing 2.4.1. Histopathological and Immunohistochemical study The brains were quickly removed from the skull, postmortem dissection was used to cut part the fresh brain, which were subsequently fixed in formal saline solution, brain tissues dehydrated in ascending alcohol (80-100), cleared in xylene, and embedded in paraffin. Then paraffin blocks were sliced into 4µm serial cross- sections using semi-automated microtome (Thermos scientific). Following deparaffinization and rehydration, the sections were stained with hematoxylin- eosin finally, they were mounted with D.P.X. [16]. Stained slides were photographed using the CCD digital camera (Olympus DP-12) which was attached to the light microscope (Olympus CX41) at different magnification. Histological examination for brain tissue were carried out in order to follow up any alterations or disposition that were induced by (DEN) and chemotherapy Paclitaxel injection. Histological changes in the brain tissue sections of all groups were observed and assessed by pathologist [17]. for inflammation into four categories as follows [18].

The details of Immunohistochemical analysis for brain tissues were summarized in table 2. sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated in alcohol, and then transferred to diluted target retrieved solution in PT link (Dako North American Inc) for 1hr. Next, sections were incubated with it is specific Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) Antibody for 1 hr. at room temperature. After washing samples were incubated with corresponding HRP-labeled secondary antibody for 20 min. Samples were then wash with buffer and the peroxidase activity was visualized by treating the slide with Di Amino benzidine plus chromogen for 6 min. Finally, the slides were counterstained with Mary Hematoxylin and cover slipped for examination using light microscope. successive sections from cerebral cortex of rat brain were performed. Few studies stated an accumulation of neuronal GFAP that was observed in various brain pathologies, including traumatic brain injuries [15,19].

Discussion The current study caried out in reference to a well-known carcinogen chemical (DEN) that is known to be strong cause causing agent (2,5,11,9) however often it was applied to induce cancer to animals’ rats in laboratory (6,12,19,20) never the less paclitaxel on the other hand is known to be efficient drug against cancer (13,21) in fact both drugs were applied is investigation. As it was also reported by(21,22,23 ) the different in mean body weight (M.B.W) was noticed after treatment with paclitaxel .the point is a significant difference in body weight were reported by through different intervals of treatment that was surprisingly linear in other word after 2&4 weeks of treatment around 264 gm the weight sustained around 264gm whereas after 6weeks the weight raised up-significantly to 278gm in contact after 8week treatment the body weight fall to approach the original positive control weight (253)gm such phenomena an undoubtedly will be clarified much more after more intensive investigation in years come . Apart from body weight of rats the brain weight was also considered as another parameter in present study however after to rat scarified the mean brain weight were estimated and each interval then after it was found out from the results that no significant difference in brain weight were evident throughout present study. However, all results before and after injection with DEN as well as they treatment with paclitaxel throughout 8 weeks with the illustration. Quite little and insignificant difference in the rate led to propose different dose of injection and treatment should be considered in future for such studied. however, brain weight was also used. Histopathological examination of various sections of rat brain throughout the duration of current investigation clearly reflect the variation in different IHJPAS. 36(2)2023 52 cells and tissues, their arrangement and interred structure, all these variations were observed through staining with H&M) as well as DFAP protein. Such variation in brain and other organs in other animals had also been referred to by (25,27). The variation and changes in rat brain cells after staining with H&E. Can be noticed in the inflammation, glial apoptosis and other change. After injection with (DEN), where as sections after treatment with paclitaxel shows the repair of cells and tissues glial cell for example, but still inflammation is remained after two weeks. However, the effect of treatment after 4 weeks and six weeks on inflammation and edema still were evident, whereas after 8 weeks of treatment No specific change- in astrocytes, Neuroglial cell damage were observed. Such phenomenon were also reported by (12,18,19). Histopathological result through treating with GFAP shows quite clear variation in various interval before and after injection with Carcinogen agent as well as before and after treatment also the variation between different intervals (2,4,6 & 8 weeks) were forwarded and discussed. Present experiment on albino rat brain resulted in finding out clear changes in adaptation, brain cell injures, after the rat been injected with (DEN). All such alterations and variation can easily be noticed. 5. Conclusion *In conclusion, current study showed that the treatment with Paclitaxel is quite effective. * As long as treatment duration extended the out com become much more effective as it is clean from the Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of Brain tissue sections. * Using stronger Concentration may well result in faster treatment out come in future. *It become evident that Paclitaxel "Provides neuroprotection against brain injury from focal cerebral Ischemia References 1.TAO, Z.; SHI, A.; LU, C.; SONG, T.; ZHANG, Z. ; ZHAO, J.
