PurposeGastrointestinal mucositis is a major problem associated with cancer therapy. To minimize these deleterious effects, simultaneous administration of antioxidant components, such as selenium, can be considered. There is a growing interest in the use of yeasts because they are able to convert inorganic selenium into selenomethionine. In the present study, oral administration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 enriched with selenium was evaluated as an alternative in minimizing the side effects of 5FU-induced mucositis in mice.MethodsMice body weight, food consumption, faeces consistency and the presence of blood in faeces were assessed daily during experimental mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil (5FU). Blood was used for intestinal permeability determination, and small intestine for oxidative stress, immunological and histopathological examination.ResultsThe increased intestinal permeability observed with mucositis induction was partially reverted by S. cerevisiae and selenium-enriched yeast. Both treatments were able to reduce myeloperoxidase activity, but only selenium-enriched yeast reduced eosinophil peroxidase activity. CXCL1/KC levels, histopathological tissue damage and oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation and nitrite production) in the small intestine were reduced by both treatments; however, this reduction was always higher when treatment with selenium-enriched yeast was evaluated.ConclusionsResults of the present study showed that the oral administration of S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 protected mice against mucositis induced by 5-FU, and that this effect was potentiated when the yeast was enriched with selenium.
