Influence of doxycycline administration on rat embryonic development during organogenesis.

Abstract:

:This experiment was performed to evaluate the possible embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of doxycycline during rat development. Twenty-one female rats were used and distributed into three groups equally (seven animals/group). The low dose group received doxycycline at a dose of 5 mg/kg bw/day orally from the 6th to 14th day of gestation. The high dose group received 10 mg/kg bw/day orally for the same period, the Control group received 1 mL distilled water orally for the same period. The dams were dissected on the 20th day of gestation and their fetuses were subjected to morphological, skeletal, and histological examination. Moreover, DNA damage analysis of liver cells of pregnant rats and their fetuses or fetal skull was assessed by Comet assay. The obtained results showed a significant decrease in fetal body weight, several morphological anomalies, and severe lack of ossification on the skull bones, phalanges, and sternum bone as well as shortness in the ulna and radius bones. Histological studies of pregnant rats revealed congestion and dilatation of the central vein of the liver lobules and fatty degeneration of the hepatocytes. In addition, 20 day-fetuses showed a marked increase of necrotic hepatocytes associated with an increased average of megakaryocytes and periportal leukocytic infiltration. Moreover, doxycycline induced a significant increase in the percentage of DNA damage and tail length of examined samples. Conclusively, doxycycline caused certain fetal abnormalities, so it is advisable to avoid using this drug during pregnancy.
