Abstract
Koumiss, a traditional fermented dairy product made from fresh mare milk, is a sour beverage that contains an abundance of microbial communities, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast and others. Firstly, probiotics such as Lacticaseibacillus in koumiss can induce the secretion of immunoglobulin G in serum and interleukin-2 in the spleen while beneficial Saccharomyces can secrete antibacterial compounds such as citric acid and ascorbic acid for specific immunopotentiation. Additionally, more isoflavone in koumiss can regulate estrogen levels by binding to its receptors to prevent breast cancer directly. Bile salts can be converted into bile acids such as taurine or glycine by lactic acid bacteria to lower cholesterol levels in vivo. Butyric acid secretion would be increased to improve chronic gastrotis by regulating intestinal flora with lactic acid bacteria. Finally, SCFA and lCFA produced by Lacticaseibacillus inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms for diarrhea prevention. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms underlying multiple physiological functions through utilizing microbial resources in koumiss represents promising avenues for ameliorating chronic diseases.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a widely used anticancer agent, can cause nephrotoxicity, including both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney diseases, by accumulating in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Mitochondrial pathology plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AKI. Based on the regulatory role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in mitochondria, we investigated whether TFEB is involved in cisplatin-induced TEC damage. The results show that the expression of TFEB decreased in a concentration-dependent manner in both mouse kidney tissue and HK-2 cells when treated with cisplatin. A knockdown of TFEB aggravated cisplatin-induced renal TEC injury, which was partially reversed by TFEB overexpression in HK-2 cells. It was further observed that the TFEB knockdown also exacerbated cisplatin-induced mitochondrial damage in vitro, and included the depolarization of membrane potential, mitochondrial fragmentation and swelling, and the production of reactive oxygen species. In contrast, TFEB overexpression alleviated cisplatin-induced mitochondrial damage in TECs. These findings suggest that decreased TFEB expression may be a key mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction in cisplatin-induced AKI, and that upregulation of TFEB has the potential to act as a therapeutic target to alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction and cisplatin-induced TEC injury. This study is important for developing therapeutic strategies to manipulate mitochondria through TFEB to delay AKI progression.

Abstract
Cisplatin has been widely used as an anticancer agent for a wide range of tumors, but it had nephrotoxicity that was mainly caused by oxidative stress. Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, has reportedly been validated to have a protective effect against renal injury induced by reactive oxygen species. However, most of these reports are against AKI, and few studies have examined the effect of chronic renal injury. In this study, we investigate the effect of edaravone on cisplatin nephropathy in the chronic phase. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: control, cisplatin, cisplatin + edaravone 1 mg kg-1, cisplatin + edaravone 10 mg kg-1, and cisplatin + edaravone 100 mg kg-1. Edaravone was administrated intraperitoneally every other day for 5 weeks, starting 1 week before cisplatin administration (6 mg kg-1, i.p.). As a result, proximal tubule injury, interstitial fibrosis, and mononuclear cell infiltration were ameliorated histologically in the group of rats treated with high edaravone dose. In the cisplatin group, the number of α-SMA-, CD68-, and CD3-positive cells increased markedly compared with the Control group, but these numbers were significantly decreased by higher doses of co-administered edaravone. While there was no clear mRNA expression variation in antioxidant enzymes, the apoptosis-promoting factors, caspase8, were markedly reduced in the high-dose edaravone co-administration group compared with the cisplatin group. In conclusion, our results suggested that cisplatin-induced renal injury in the chronic phase was ameliorated by edaravone.

Abstract
Cisplatin is currently one of the most widely-used chemotherapeutic agents against various malignancies. Its clinical application is limited, however, by inherent renal and cardiac toxicities and other side effects, of which the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. Experimental studies show cisplatin generates reactive oxygen species, which impair the cell's antioxidant defense system, causing oxidative stress and potentiating injury, thereby culminating in kidney and heart failure. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cisplatin-induced renal and cardiac toxicities may allow clinicians to prevent or treat this problem better and may also provide a model for investigating drug-induced organ toxicity in general. This review discusses some of the major molecular mechanisms of cisplatin-induced renal and cardiac toxicities including disruption of ionic homeostasis and energy status of the cell leading to cell injury and cell death. We highlight clinical manifestations of both toxicities as well as (novel)biomarkers such as kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). We also present some current treatment challenges and propose potential protective strategies including combination therapy with novel pharmacological compounds that might mitigate or prevent these toxicities, which include the use of hydrogen sulfide.

Abstract
The use of atypical antipsychotic drugs (APD) was reported to be associated with adverse effects on the kidneys. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine whether APD exerted their adverse effects by interfering with the renal antioxidant defense system. Male 3-mo-old Wistar rats were treated for 28 d with ziprasidone (ZIP), clozapine (CLO), or sertindole (SER) using a daily dose recommended for antipsychotic drug therapy. The expression and activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) type 1 and type 2, catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) activity were measured in the kidneys. Changes in the kidneys were also evaluated histologically. Ziprasidone, CLO, and SER reduced renal SOD type 1 and type 2 activities. Decreased CAT activity was observed only in SER-treated rats. An inhibition in GR activity and increased activity of GST was found only after treatment with CLO. Histological analysis showed dilatation of proximal tubules in kidneys with all three drugs. In conclusion, data indicate that redox disturbances may contribute to renal morphologic alterations in proximal tubules in rats treated with all APD.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a major side effect of cisplatin in chemotherapy. Pathologically, cisplatin nephrotoxicity is characterized by cell injury and death in renal tubules. The research in the past decade has gained significant understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tubular cell death, revealing a central role of mitochondrial dysregulation. The pathological changes in mitochondria in cisplatin nephrotoxicity are mainly triggered by DNA damage response, pro-apoptotic protein attack, disruption of mitochondrial dynamics, and oxidative stress. As such, inhibitory strategies targeting these cytotoxic events may provide renal protection. Nonetheless, ideal approaches for renoprotection should not only protect kidneys but also enhance the anticancer efficacy of cisplatin in chemotherapy.

Abstract
Despite the clinical reports, few studies have focused on reducing the cardiotoxicity of cisplatin. In the present study, cardiotoxicity was examined after a single ip injection of cisplatin (7mg/kg) in rats. Apocynin was given in drinking water (600mg/L) for five successive days before and after cisplatin injection. At the end of the experiment, hemodynamic parameters were recorded, animals were sacrificed and serum creatine kinase-MB activity was determined. The whole ventricle was isolated for estimation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) content, NADPH oxidase, myeloperoxidase and caspase-3 activities in addition to nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) gene expressions. Furthermore, oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes were measured in postmitochondrial and mitochondrial fractions. Mitochondrial membrane potential, nuclear DNA fragmentation and cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area were also evaluated. Apocynin was effective against cisplatin-induced decrement in heart rate and blood pressure. Moreover, pretreatment with apocynin notably ameliorated the state of oxidative stress, mitigated inflammation and preserved mitochondrial membrane potential. Apocynin provided also a significant cardioprotection as revealed by alleviating the overexpression of Nrf2, HO-1 and NF-κB, the elevation of caspase-3 activity, the prominent nuclear DNA fragmentation and the decreased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area. This study highlights the potential role of apocynin in inhibiting cisplatin-induced hemodynamic changes, postmitochondrial and mitochondrial damage as indicated by improvement in the state of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Overwhelming oxidative stress and compromised tubular cell antioxidant response have been incriminated for cisplatin (Cis)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that Cis-induced AKI was the outcome of the deactivated redox-sensitive stress response program (RSSRP). Wild type (WT) and heterozygous p66ShcA(p66(+/-)) mice in groups of six were administered either normal saline (WT) or Cis (12.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, Cis/WT). Renal biomarkers were collected and kidneys were harvested for renal histology. Cis/WT showed elevated blood urea nitrogen levels and enhanced tubular cell apoptosis, necrosis, and dilated tubules filled with casts when compared to Cis/p66(+/-). Cis/p66(+/-) developed only a clinically occult AKI (normal blood urea levels and only microscopic alterations). Immunoblots from the lysates of renal tissues of Cis/WT displayed enhanced expression of phospho-p66ShcA, and phospho-Foxo3A but attenuated expression of MnSOD and catalase; conversely, p66 deficit prevented these alterations in Cis milieu. In in vitro studies, Cis treated mouse proximal tubular cells (MPTCs) displayed enhanced phosphorylation of p66ShcA and no increase in tubular cell expression of MnSOD. In addition, renal tissues of Cis/WT and Cis-treated MPTCs displayed enhanced phosphorylation of p53 and Bax expression. However, MPTC partially silenced for p66ShcA displayed partial inhibition of Cis-induced tubular cell apoptosis as well as necrosis. These findings indicate that Cis-induced AKI is the outcome of the deactivated RSSRP (attenuated anti-oxidant response) and activation of pro-apoptotic (p53-induced Bax expression) pathway.

Abstract
Although cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents, its clinical use is limited because of its strong side effects on the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the renoprotective effect of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) in cisplatin-induced renal failure in rats. To assess the renoprotective effect of bLf, oral bLf (300 mg/kg) was administered from the day before to the fifth day after cisplatin (7 mg/kg, i.p.) injection. Daily administration of bLf histologically reduced renal tubular injury induced by cisplatin and suppressed the deterioration of renal function. Accumulated platinum content in the kidney was significantly decreased by the daily administration of bLf. Moreover, the administration of intravenous bLf caused a significant increase in urine volume in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that pretreatment with bLf produces a protective effect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. This protective effect of bLf involves the reduction of accumulated cisplatin in the kidney.

Abstract
Mechanism(s) of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure, as manifested by increases in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, was evaluated in relation to production and activation of endogenous mediator(s) in mice. In interleukin (IL)-18-deficient (IL-18KO) mice, cisplatin failed to induce acute renal failure. Administration of recombinant IL-18 prior to cisplatin restored acute renal failure in IL-18KO mice. Accumulation of cisplatin in the kidney was not different in IL-18KO and wild-type (WT) mice, but, clearance of cisplatin was more rapid in IL-18KO mice than in WT mice. Cisplatin increased serum levels of aldosterone and angiotensin II in WT mice, but only angiotensin II levels in IL-18 KO mice. Administration of IL-18 augmented plasma levels of aldosterone and angiotensin II in WT mice. Eplerenone, an aldosterone receptor blocker, TY-51469, a chymase inhibitor and PD123319, a selective angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor antagonist, but not benazepril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and candesartan, a selective angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist improved acute renal failure caused by cisplatin, confirming involvement of IL-18, aldosterone and angiotensin II in cisplatin-induced, chymase-dependent acute renal failure in mice. These results show that IL-18, aldosterone and angiotensin II synergistically act to prolong the accumulation of cisplatin in the kidney, leading to acute renal failure. Combined therapy with inhibitors for chymase and aldosterone receptors or AT2 receptors might reduce acute renal failure induced by cisplatin.

Abstract
Cisplatin has multiple cellular targets and modes of action that lead to nephrotoxicity. This suggests novel therapies that act at multiple cisplatin target sites may be effective. We tested whether human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) can affect multiple target sites and protect against cisplatin-induced kidney damage. Rats were divided into four groups: control, infused with Ad-MSCs, injected with cisplatin, and cisplatin followed by infusion of Ad-MSCs. Animal survival and renal function were decreased and histological damage was increased in cisplatin-treated rats at day 3. Infusion of Ad-MSCs ameliorated renal dysfunction and tissue injury caused by cisplatin, leading to increased survival. Apoptotic cell death in the kidney was significantly reduced by infusion of Ad-MSCs. Activation of p53, JNK, and ERK and the expression of inflammation-related molecules were also decreased in the kidney that received Ad-MSCs. Very few Ad-MSCs were detected in the kidney. Conditioned medium from cultured Ad-MSCs had renal-protective functions in vivo and in vitro. Renal dysfunction and tissue damage caused by cisplatin were significantly reduced in rats treated with Ad-MSCs-conditioned medium. The viability of cultured renal proximal tubular cells exposed to cisplatin was also improved by coculture with Ad-MSCs or with conditioned medium. Release of proinflammatory mediators induced by cisplatin was inhibited in coculture with Ad-MSCs. Our results show that human Ad-MSCs exert a paracrine-protective effect on cisplatin nephrotoxicity at multiple target sites and suggest that human Ad-MSCs might be a new therapeutic approach for patients with acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal neoplasm in adults. Considering that chemoresistance is a typical feature of RCC, every effort should be made in order to identify mechanisms of drug resistance. We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to study changes in protein expression levels that occur in primary resistant LN78 RCC cells when treated with therapeutic concentrations of cisplatin. Expression differences of selected proteins were confirmed by immunoblot. Up-regulation of heat-shock proteins can block apoptosis indirectly by altered protein folding and by direct interaction with apoptosis regulatory proteins. Cyclophilin A and stratifin can modify cell cycle control and enable tumor cells to escape and further proliferate despite DNA damage caused by cisplatin. Increased activity of glycolytic enzymes reflect metabolic adaptations to increased energy requirements as well as converting to alternative energy sources because of cisplatin-induced disturbed mitochondrial oxidation. Changes in cytoskeletal proteins may change the handling of cisplatin by altering transport and increasing cellular efflux of the drug. Repression of vimentin and disturbance of antioxidative mechanisms may represent vulnerable points in tumor cellular defense against cisplatin. The involvement of these proteins in cisplatin resistance and their potential as therapeutic targets requires further evaluation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the mechanism of the protective effect of hydrogen-rich water (HW) against cisplatin (CP)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Apparent transverse relaxation time-weighted images (T2 WI) were acquired in 28 rats. The control group (n = 7) had free access to standard water (SW) and no CP injection. The CP group (n = 7) had free access to SW and was given a CP injection on day 0. The CP+HW group (n = 7) had free access to HW and had a CP injection. The HW group (n = 7) had free access to HW and no CP injection. The apparent transverse relaxation rate (R2) was estimated from T2 WI. RESULTS In the CP+HW group, the R2 value in the medulla normalized by the value of the day 0 was significantly greater than that in the CP group on days 4 and 7. The creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels in the CP group were significantly higher than those in the control, CP+HW, and HW groups. CONCLUSION BOLD MRI may be useful for demonstrating the change in R2 in CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. The changes in the CP+HW group were suspected to be due to a reduction of cytotoxic oxygen radicals.

Abstract
Cisplatin (cisPt) is an antineoplastic drug which causes an array of adverse effects on different organs and tissues, including skeletal muscle. In this work we show that cisPt behaves as a potent trigger to activate protein hypercatabolism in skeletal C2C12 myotubes. Within 24h of 50 μM cisPt administration, C2C12 myotubes displayed unchanged cell viability but showed a subset of hallmark signs typically recognized during atrophy, including severe reduction in body size, repression of Akt phosphorylation, transcriptional up-regulation of atrophy-related genes, such as atrogin-1, gabarap, beclin-1 and bnip-3, and loss of myogenic markers. As a consequence, proteasomal activity and formation of autophagosomes were remarkably increased in cisPt-treated myotubes, but forced stimulation of Akt pathway, as obtained through insulin administration or delivery of a constitutively activated Akt form, was sufficient to counter the cisPt-induced protein breakdown, leading to rescue of atrophic size. Overall, these results indicate that cisPt induces atrophy of C2C12 myotubes via activation of proteasome and autophagy systems, suggesting that the Akt pathway represents one sensitive target of cisPt molecular action in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been reported to play a critical role in the pathology of acute renal failure (ARF). An interaction between different reactive species and/or their sources have been the focus of extensive studies. The exact sources of reactive species generated in biological systems under different disease states are always elusive because they are also a part of physiological processes. Exaggerated involvement of different oxidation pathways including NAD(P)H oxidase has been proposed in different models of ARF. An interaction between oxygen species and nitrogen species has drawn extensive attention because of the deleterious effects of peroxynitrite and their possible effects on antioxidant systems. Recent advances in molecular biology have allowed us to understand glomerular function more precisely, especially the organization and importance of the slit diaphragm. Identification of slit diaphragm proteins came as a breakthrough and a possibility of therapeutic manipulation in ARF is encouraging. Transcriptional regulation of the expression of slit diaphragm protein is of particular importance because their presence is crucial in the maintenance of glomerular function. This review highlights the involvement of oxidative stress in ARF, sources of these reactive species, a possible interaction between different reactive species, and involvement of PPARgamma, a nuclear transcription factor in this process.

Abstract
Our previous studies suggest that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) plays a critical role in regulating fatty acid beta-oxidation in kidney tissue and this directly correlated with preservation of kidney morphology and function during acute kidney injury. To further study this, we generated transgenic mice expressing PPARalpha in the proximal tubule under the control of the promoter of KAP2 (kidney androgen-regulated protein 2). Segment-specific upregulation of PPARalpha expression by testosterone treatment of female transgenic mice improved kidney function during cisplatin or ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury. Ischemia-reperfusion injury or treatment with cisplatin in wild-type mice caused inhibition of fatty-acid oxidation, reduction of mitochondrial genes of oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial DNA, fatty-acid metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Similar injury in testosterone-treated transgenic mice resulted in amelioration of these effects. Similarly, there were increases in the levels of 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal-derived lipid peroxidation products in wild-type mice, which were also reduced in the transgenic mice. Similarly, necrosis of the S3 segment was reduced in the two injury models in transgenic mice compared to wild type. Our results suggest proximal tubule PPARalpha activity serves as a metabolic sensor. Its increased expression without the use of an exogenous PPARalpha ligand in the transgenic mice is sufficient to protect kidney function and morphology, and to prevent abnormalities in lipid metabolism associated with acute kidney injury.

Abstract
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) is an important chemotherapeutic agent useful in the treatment of several cancers; however, it has several side effects such as nephrotoxicity. The role of the oxidative and nitrosative stress in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is additionally supported by the protective effect of several free radical scavengers and antioxidants. Furthermore, in in vitro experiments, antioxidants or reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers have a cytoprotective effect on cells exposed to cisplatin. Recently, the participation of nitrosative stress has been more explored in cisplatin-induced renal damage. The use of a water-soluble Fe(III) porphyrin complex able to metabolize peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) has demonstrated that this anion contributes to both in vivo and in vitro cisplatin-induced toxicity. ONOO(-) is produced when nitric oxide (NO*) reacts with superoxide anion (O(2)(*-)); currently, there are evidences suggesting alterations in NO* production after cisplatin treatment and the evidence appear to NO* has a toxic effect. This article goes through current evidence of the mechanism by more than a few compounds have beneficial effects on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, contribute to understanding the role of oxidative and nitrosative stress and suggest several points as part of the mechanism of cisplatin toxicity.

Abstract
Confusion of various nephrotoxic Cortinarius species with edible mushrooms occurs every year throughout Europe and North America. The toxin, orellanine (OR), accumulates selectively in renal tubular epithelium with ensuing renal failure after several days as the only clinical manifestation. This study was performed to clarify the mechanisms behind the kidney damage. Sprague-Dawley rats, 100 g bw, received various doses of purified OR ip (0-5 mg/kg bw). One week later, renal function (GFR) was determined (51Cr-EDTA), ascorbyl radicals in venous blood were analyzed using electron spin resonance, and oxidative protein damage was evaluated immunohistochemically. One OR-treated group (3.5 mg/kg) simultaneously received superoxide dismutase (SOD) targeted to tubular epithelium (HC-SOD; 10 mg/kg ip daily for 5 days). RT-PCR was used for analysis of mRNA expression of genes related to oxidative stress. OR caused a dose-dependent decrease in GFR, paralleled by increased levels of ascorbyl radicals and oxidative protein damage. Antioxidant treatment with HC-SOD decreased renal function even more and also increased tissue damage and mortality. Renal mRNA levels for key components in the antioxidative defense were strongly decreased, whereas those for several cytokines were increased. The data strongly suggest that OR nephrotoxicity in vivo is mediated by oxidative stress, including a virtual shutdown of important antioxidative enzymes. We interpret the unexpected effect of HC-SOD in terms of unbalanced SOD and catalase levels in the presence of OR, leading to massive generation of *OH and cell death.

Abstract
Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent successfully used in the treatment of a wide range of tumors; however, nephrotoxicity has restricted its clinical use. Several studies have shown that reactive oxygen species are involved in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, including hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion (O(2)(-)). The source of O(2)(-) in cisplatin-induced renal damage has not been established. The aim of this study was to investigate if NADPH oxidase is involved in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity using apocynin, a widely used NADPH oxidase inhibitor. Rats were studied 3 days after a single injection of cisplatin (7.5mg/kg, i.p.). Apocynin was given in the drinking water (2g/L) 7 days before and 3 days after cisplatin injection. Apocynin treatment was able to ameliorate the renal histological damage and the increase in blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and urinary excretion of total protein, N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase and glutathione-S-transferase induced by cisplatin. In addition, the protective effect of apocynin was associated with the amelioration of cisplatin-induced oxidative and nitrosative stress. Our data suggest that O(2)(-) derived from NADPH oxidase triggers some of the side effects due to cisplatin administration.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of several cancer tumors; however, nephrotoxicity has restricted its use. Reactive oxygen species and peroxynitrite, which is formed by the reaction between superoxide anion and nitric oxide (NO*), are implicated in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. In contrast, both toxic and beneficial effects of NO* have been suggested in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Therefore, nowadays the role of NO* in this experimental model remains controversial. The aim of the present work was to elucidate the role of NO* in cisplatin-induced renal damage using N-[3-(aminomethyl)benzyl]acetamidine (1400W), a selective and irreversible inhibitor of iNOS. The mRNA levels of iNOS were increased in cisplatin-treated rats. The administration of 1400W reduced the cisplatin induced histological damage, renal dysfunction (increase in proteinuria and kidney injury molecule expression and decrease in creatinine clearance), tubulointerstitial infiltration, oxidative stress (increase in renal malondialdehyde and inmmunostaining for 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal) and nitrosative stress (immunostaining for 3-nitrotyrosine). In addition, the administration of 1400W was unable to modify systolic blood pressure in control rats. Our data demonstrate that selective iNOS inhibition reduces the cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and nitrosative stress which strongly suggest that in this experimental model (1) the NO* production is toxic and (2) iNOS is the main source of NO*.

Abstract
Mcl-1 is an antiapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that plays an important role in cell survival. We demonstrate that proteasome-dependent regulation of Mcl-1 plays a critical role in renal tubular epithelial cell injury from cisplatin. Protein levels of Mcl-1 rapidly declined in a time-dependent manner following cisplatin treatment of LLC-PK1cells. However, mRNA levels of Mcl-1 were not altered following cisplatin treatment. Expression of other antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family such as Bcl-2 and BclxL was not affected by cisplatin treatment. Cisplatin-induced loss of Mcl-1 occurs at the same time as the mitochondrial release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, and initiation of apoptosis. Treatment of cells with cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, revealed rapid turnover of Mcl-1. In addition, treatment with cycloheximide in the presence or absence of cisplatin demonstrated that cisplatin-induced loss of Mcl-1 results from posttranslational degradation rather than transcriptional inhibition. Overexpression of Mcl-1 protected cells from cisplatin-induced caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. Preincubating cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 or lactacystin not only restored cisplatin-induced loss of Mcl-1 but also resulted in an accumulation of Mcl-1 that exceeded basal levels; however, Bcl-2 and BclxL levels did not change in response to MG-132 or lactacystin. The proteasome inhibitors effectively blocked cisplatin-induced mitochondrial release of cytochrome c, caspase-3 activation, and apoptosis. These studies suggest that proteasome regulation of Mcl-1 is crucial in the cisplatin-induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and that Mcl-1 is an important therapeutic target in cisplatin injury to renal tubular epithelial cells.

Abstract
We demonstrate the role of p53-mediated caspase-2 activation in the mitochondrial release of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in cisplatin-treated renal tubular epithelial cells. Gene silencing of AIF with its small interfering RNA (siRNA) suppressed cisplatin-induced AIF expression and provided a marked protection against cell death. Subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence studies revealed cisplatin-induced translocation of AIF from the mitochondria to the nuclei. Pancaspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone or p53 inhibitor pifithrin-alpha markedly prevented mitochondrial release of AIF, suggesting that caspases and p53 are involved in this release. Caspase-2 and -3 that were predominantly activated in response to cisplatin provided a unique model to study the role of these caspases in AIF release. Cisplatin-treated caspase-3 (+/+) and caspase-3 (-/-) cells exhibited similar AIF translocation to the nuclei, suggesting that caspase-3 does not affect AIF translocation, and thus, caspase-2 may be involved in the translocation. Caspase-2 inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Asp-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone or down-regulation of caspase-2 by its siRNA significantly prevented translocation of AIF. Caspase-2 activation was a critical response from p53, which was markedly induced and phosphorylated in cisplatin-treated cells. Overexpression of p53 not only resulted in caspase-2 activation but also mitochondrial release of AIF. The p53 inhibitor pifithrin-alpha or p53 siRNA prevented both cisplatin-induced caspase-2 activation and mitochondrial release of AIF. Caspase-2 activation was dependent on the p53-responsive gene, PIDD, a death domain-containing protein that was induced by cisplatin in a p53-dependent manner. These results suggest that caspase-2 activation mediated by p53 is an important pathway involved in the mitochondrial release of AIF in response to cisplatin injury.

Abstract
We studied the relationship between the mitochondrial density in the cells and the cellular sensitivity to the toxicity of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum II (cisplatin), a potent anticancer agent. Biochemical analyses revealed that the density of mitochondria in the intestinal epithelium changed markedly along its entire length. The density was the highest at the duodenum, medium at the jejunum, and the lowest at the ileum. The sensitivity of epithelial cells to cisplatin toxicity was the highest at the duodenum, medium at the jejunum, and the lowest at the ileum as judged from the occurrence of apoptosis. Similar correlation between the cisplatin sensitivity and mitochondrial density was also observed with in vitro experiments, in which intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) and their rho0 cells with reduced number of mitochondria were used. The rho0 cells had a strong resistance to cisplatin compared with the control cells. Cisplatin markedly increased mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species in IEC-6 but not in rho0 cells. We analyzed the sensitivity of eight cell lines with different density of mitochondria to cisplatin and found the same positive correlation. These observations clearly show that cellular density of mitochondria is the key factor for the determination of the anticancer activity and side effects of cisplatin.

Abstract
Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is related to an increase in lipid peroxidation and oxygen free radicals in a kidney. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the dietary antioxidants, capsaicin (Cap), against cisplatin-induced lipid peroxidation and nephrotoxicity in rats. Nephrotoxicity induced by treatment with a single dose of cisplatin (5 mg/kg body weight i.p.). The animals were divided into 4 groups. Cap (10 mg/kg/d) was given by gavage from the same day of cisplatin injection. Cisplatin administration resulted in significant increases in the kidney weight as a percentage of the total body weight, urine volume, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen by about 132, 315, 797, and 556% in comparison with the control rats, respectively (p < 0.05). Also, the renal tissue from the cisplatin-treated rats showed significant decreases in the kidney glutathione (GSH) content and superoxide dismustase (SOD) activity and a significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) production in comparison to the values at 0 h (p < 0.05). Seven days after Cap plus cisplatin treatments, the renal damage induced by cisplatin recovered to a significant statistically level. In addition, Cap prevented the rise of MDA and the reduction of SOD activities. These results suggest that Cap has protective effects against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and lipid peroxidation in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) is an effective anticancer agent, its clinical use is highly limited predominantly due to its adverse effects on renal functions. The present work examined the therapeutic potential of edaravone, a free radical scavenger, for inhibiting cisplatin-induced renal injury. METHODS Edaravone, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-pyrazolin-5-one, was administrated intravenously at a dose of 30 mg/kg of body weight to male Wistar rats (200-220 g). After 30 min, cisplatin was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight. At the indicated times after the treatment, functions and histological changes of the kidney were analyzed. To test the therapeutic potential of edaravone in chemotherapy, its effect on the anticancer action of cisplatin was examined in ascites cancer-bearing rats. RESULTS We found that cisplatin rapidly impaired the respiratory function and DNA of mitochondria in renal proximal tubules, thereby inducing apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells within a few days and chronic renal dysfunction associated with multiple cysts one-year after the administration. Administration of edaravone inhibited the cisplatin-induced acute injury of mitochondria and their DNA and renal epithelial cell apoptosis as well as the occurrence of chronic renal dysfunction and multiple cyst formation. The anticancer effect of cisplatin remained unaffected by intravenous administrating of edaravone. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that edaravone may have therapeutic potential for inhibiting the acute and chronic injury of the kidney induced by cisplatin.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP), an anticancer drug used extensively to treat a broad range of neoplasms, has strong ototoxic side effects. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) has been described as a protective agent against CDDP toxicity, but it also reduces CDDP's antitumoral cytotoxicity. To maintain the antitumoral effectiveness of systemic administration of CDDP, a strategy has been developed to apply STS directly into the cochlea. Perfusion of STS into the cochleae of guinea pigs completely prevented CDDP-induced hearing loss, with no change in either compound action potential (CAP) or distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) audiograms during the time course of the treatment. Histological analysis revealed a minimal loss of outer hair cells (OHCs) in the organ of Corti and no damage to the marginal cells of the stria vascularis as seen in animals exposed to CDDP. Cytocochleograms prepared 6 days after CDDP exposure showed that STS treatment protected more than 92.8% of OHCs and IHCs destined to die. Furthermore, it prevented CDDP-induced mitochondrial damage and subsequent translocation of cytochrome c, DNA fragmentation, and suppressed the apoptotic and necrotic hair cell degeneration. These results suggest that local application of STS may be an interesting strategy to prevent CDDP ototoxicity in patients undergoing CDDP chemotherapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested as important mediators of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in vivo. However, our previous studies have shown that cisplatin-induced cell death in vitro could not be prevented by scavengers of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical in rabbit renal cortical slices. This discrepancy may be attributed to differential roles of ROS in necrotic and apoptotic cell death. We therefore examined, in this study, the roles of ROS in necrosis and apoptosis induced by cisplatin in primary cultured rabbit proximal tubule. Cisplatin induced necrosis at high concentrations over a few hours and apoptosis at much lower concentrations over longer periods. Necrosis induced by high concentration of cisplatin was prevented by a cell-permeable superoxide scavenger (tiron), hydrogen peroxide scavengers (catalase and pyruvate), and antioxidants (Trolox and deferoxamine), whereas hydroxyl radical scavengers (dimethythiourea and thiourea) did not affect the cisplatin-induced necrosis. However, apoptosis induced by lower concentration of cisplatin was partially prevented by tiron and hydroxyl radical scavengers but not by hydrogen peroxide scavengers and antioxidants. Cisplatin-induced apoptosis was mediated by the signaling pathway that is associated with cytochrome c release from mitochondria and caspase-3 activation. These effects were prevented by tiron and dimethylthiourea but not by catalase. Dimethylthiourea produced a significant protection against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure, and the effect was associated with an inhibition of apoptosis. These results suggest that hydrogen peroxide is involved in the cisplatin-induced necrosis, whereas hydroxyl radical is responsible for the cisplatin-induced apoptosis. The protective effects of hydroxyl radical scavengers are associated with an inhibition of cytochrome c release and caspase activation.

Abstract
Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, has a broad spectrum against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Because vancomycin induces renal dysfunction, the dose and the duration of its administration are limited. The mechanism of vancomycin-induced renal dysfunction is not known. We recently synthesized a hexamethylenediamine-conjugated cationic superoxide dismutase (AH-SOD) which rapidly accumulates in renal proximal tubule cells and inhibits oxidative injury of the kidney. The present work reports the protective effects of AH-SOD against vancomycin-induced renal dysfunction. Male Wistar rats (200-210 g) were intraperitoneally administered with either 200 or 400 mg/kg of vancomycin twice a day for 7 days. Either 5 mg/kg/day AH-SOD or saline was subcutaneously injected 5 min before every vancomycin injection. Biochemical analysis revealed that plasma levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine increased significantly in vancomycin-treated group by an AH-SOD-inhibitable mechanism. Histological examination revealed that vancomycin also elicited a marked destruction of glomeruli and necrosis of proximal tubule by an AH-SOD inhibitable mechanism. These results suggest that oxidative stress underlies the pathogenesis of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity and that targeting SOD and/or related antioxidants to renal proximal tubule cells might permit the administration of higher doses of vancomycin sufficient for eradication of MRSA without causing renal injury.

Abstract
Although oxygen is required for the energy metabolism in aerobic organisms, it generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that impair a wide variety of biological molecules, including lipids, proteins, and DNA, thereby causing various diseases. Because mitochondria are the major site of free radical generation, they are highly enriched with enzymes, such as Mn-type superoxide dismutase in matrix, and antioxidants including GSH on both sides of inner membranes, thus minimizing oxidative stress in and around this organelle. We recently showed that a cross talk of nitric oxide and oxygen radicals regulates the circulation, energy metabolism, reproduction, and remodeling of cells during embryonic development, and functions as a major defense system against pathogens. The present work shows that Cu/Zn-type superoxide dismutase, which has been postulated for a long time to be a cytosolic enzyme, also localizes bound to inner membranes of mitochondria, thereby minimizing oxidative stress in and around this organelle, while mitochondrial association decreases markedly with the variant types of the enzyme found in patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We also report that a cross talk of nitric oxide, superoxide, and molecular oxygen cooperatively regulates the fates of pathogens and their hosts and that oxidative stress in and around mitochondria also determines cell death in the development of animals and tissue injury caused by anticancer agents by some carnitine-inhibitable mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nephrotoxic substances like cisplatin or ochratoxin A (OTA) induce cell death in human proximal tubule-derived cells (IHKE cells). Mitochondria play a significant role in apoptosis and loss of their function may influence OTA- or cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Extracellular pH also plays an important role in tumor genesis. Therefore, we investigated the role of mitochondria and intra- and extracellular pH on cell death induction by cisplatin or OTA. METHODS IHKE cells were incubated in the presence of OTA or cisplatin, together with inhibitors of the mitochondrial metabolism, and the activity of caspase-3 was measured and DNA laddering was monitored. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content of the cells, lactate release into the media, and glucose consumption was determined. In addition, media and cells were acidified or alkalized artificially to investigate the effect of intra- and extracellular pH on cell death induction. Cytochrome C was immunodetected in cellular compartments. RESULTS Inhibition of the mitochondrial function reduced OTA- or cisplatin-induced cell death and led to considerable lactic acid production and extracellular acidification. Intra- and extracellular acidification prevented cells from cell death induced by OTA or cisplatin. No cytochrome C release from mitochondria could be detected during 24 hours of exposure to OTA or cisplatin. CONCLUSION We conclude that OTA- or cisplatin-induced cell death is dependent on functional and intact, ATP-producing mitochondria and that intra- and extracellular pH is crucial for induction of cell death in IHKE cells.

Abstract
Although cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) is a potent anticancer drug, clinical use of this agent is highly limited predominantly because of its strong side effects on the kidney and gastrointestinal tracts. We found that cisplatin impaired respiratory function and DNA of mitochondria in renal proximal tubules and small intestinal mucosal cells, thereby inducing apoptosis of epithelial cells. Cisplatin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA (mtDNA) injury, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis of epithelial cells in the kidney and small intestine were strongly inhibited by L-carnitine. However, carnitine had no appreciable effect on the tumoricidal action of cisplatin against cancer cells inoculated in the peritoneal cavity. These results indicate that L-carnitine may have therapeutic potential for inhibiting the side effects of cisplatin and other anticancer agents in the kidney and small intestine.

Abstract
Because cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) which generates reactive oxygen species induces renal dysfunction, administration of a large dose for killing cancer cells is highly limited. We recently synthesized a cationic superoxide dismutase (SOD) (hexamethylenediamine-conjugated SOD, AH-SOD) which rapidly accumulates in renal proximal tubule cells and inhibits oxidative injury of the kidney. Treatment of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EATC)-bearing mice with cisplatin sufficient for killing tumor cells increased their motality. The motality of cisplatin-treated EATC-bearing mice was markedly decreased by AH-SOD. These results suggest that targeting SOD to renal proximal tubule cells might permit the administration of high doses of cisplatin and related anticancer agents without causing renal injury.
