Bortezomib (BORT) is an anti-tumour agent that inhibits proteasome, which is responsible for the degradation of many intracellular proteins. Although some side-effects and chemotherapeutic effects of BORT are known, there has not been enough research regarding its effects on different tissues of proteasome inhibition in the senile period (post-menopausal). The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of using BORT during the post-menopausal period. The post-menopausal effects of BORT were investigated on ovariectomized (OVX) Spraque-Dawley rats. The female rats were separated into three groups: control, ovariectomized (OVX), and OVX + BORT. OVX and OVX + BORT groups consisted of six rats in each. BORT was administered intraperitoneally in a dosage of 0.2 mg/kg two days a week for four weeks after OVX. The uteri of the rats were investigated using morphometrical, histopathological, and immunohistopathological methods. A striking atrophy in the endometrium and myometrium was observed due to an estrogen deficiency in the OVX group. The partial protective effect of BORT administration was observed morphometrically and histopathologically. In immunohistochemical research, cytoplasmic NF-κB activity was observed in the presence of proteasome inhibition in the endometrium. In light of these findings, the limited protective effects of post-menopausal BORT administration are worth mentioning.
