Talanta 2024; 267:125147. [PMID: 37672987 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
A selective and sensitive voltammetric sensor for the measurement of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin was based on bismuth nanoparticles decorated on a graphene-modified glassy carbon electrode (BiNPs/Gr/GCE). The surface morphologies of electrode modifications were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical characteristics were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to detect cisplatin oxidation. Under the optimal conditions, oxidation peak currents increased linearly with cisplatin concentration from 6.0 to 180 μM. The detection limit was calculated to be 4.4 μM and the limit of quantification was 14.7 μM. Analytical performance studies demonstrated the good electrode reproducibility and the selectivity of the BiNPs/Gr/GCE towards cisplatin detection. The developed cisplatin sensor was successfully utilized to measure cisplatin in samples of human serum. Recoveries ranged from 89 to 102% and the results from the developed sensor were concordant (P > 0.05) with the results of analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection.

A semimechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for alanine aminotransferase-based hepatotoxicity of methotrexate in paediatric patients with acute lymphoid leukaemia. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2023; 89:3637-3647. [PMID: 37548052 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.15868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Methotrexate (MTX) is recognized for its potential to induce hepatotoxicity, commonly manifested by elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. However, the quantitative relationship between the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MTX and ALT-based hepatotoxicity remains unclear. This study aimed to develop a semimechanistic PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) model to characterize the MTX-induced hepatotoxicity based on ALT in paediatric patients with acute lymphoid leukaemia. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on paediatric patients who received high-dose (3-5 g/m2 ) MTX treatment. MTX concentrations were assessed at 24-h intervals until the concentration dropped below 0.1 μmol/L. ALT concentrations were measured both before and after MTX administration. A population PK model was initially developed, which was later connected to a semimechanistic hepatotoxicity model. RESULTS The PK model was developed using 354 MTX concentrations obtained from 51 patients, while the PD model was constructed using 379 ALT concentrations collected from 48 patients. The optimal PK model for MTX consisted of a 2-compartment structure, where body surface area served as a covariate for clearance and central volume of distribution. An indirect response model coupled to a liver injury signal transduction model was developed to describe the dynamics of ALT after MTX administration. The drug effect was adequately described by a linear model, exhibiting considerable interoccasion variability for each treatment session. No significant covariates were identified to have an impact on the PD parameters. CONCLUSION A semimechanistic model was developed to describe ALT-based hepatotoxicity of MTX, and it has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for characterizing drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (DDP)-induced nephrotoxicity (DDPIN) may cause irreversible renal injury associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current standard therapies have not achieved satisfactory clinical outcomes due to unclear molecular and cellular mechanisms. Therefore, exploring potential therapies on DDPIN represents an urgent medical need. Present study characterized the role of lncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (lnc-MEG3) in the pathogenesis of DDPIN. In both in vitro and in murine models of DDP-induced nephrotoxicity, lnc-MEG3 exacerbated DDPIN by negatively regulating miRNA-126 subsequently causing a decreased AKT/TSC/mTOR-mediated autophagy. By silencing lnc-MEG3 or incorporating miRNA-126 mimetics, the proliferation and migration of DDP-treated cells were restored. In vivo, we identified Paeonol to alleviate DDPIN by the inhibition of lnc-MEG3. Taken together, lnc-MEG3 represents a novel therapeutic target for DDPIN and Paeonol may serve as a promising treatment by inhibiting lnc-MEG3 and its related signaling pathways.

Abstract
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is a major cause of acute kidney injury, and thus detecting the potential for nephrotoxicity early in the drug development process is critical. Various urinary biomarkers exhibit different patterns following drug-induced injury, which may provide greater information than traditional biomarkers like serum creatinine. In this study, we developed a multiscale quantitative systems pharmacology model relating drug exposure to proximal tubule (PT) epithelial cell injury and subsequently to expression of multiple urinary biomarkers and organ-level functional changes. We utilized urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1), alpha glutathione S-transferase, albumin (αGST), glucose, and urine volume time profiles as well as serum creatinine and histopathology data obtained from rats treated with the nephrotoxicant cisplatin to develop the model. Although the model was developed using single-dose response to cisplatin, the model predicted the serum creatinine response to multidose cisplatin regimens. Further, using only the urinary Kim-1 response to gentamicin (a nephrotoxicant with a distinctly different injury time course than cisplatin), the model detected and predicted mild to moderate PT injury, as confirmed with histopathology, even when serum creatinine was unchanged. Thus, the model is generalizable, and can be used to deconvolute the underlying degree and time course of drug-induced PT injury and renal dysfunction from a small number of urinary biomarkers, and may provide a tool to determine optimal dosing regimens that minimize renal injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE The ability to predict and detect clinical and subclinical nephrotoxicity early in the course of therapy has the potential to improve long-term outcomes in cancer patients receiving cisplatin chemotherapy. Pharmacokinetic parameters could serve as predictors of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. METHODS Participants [n = 13] were treated with a 1-h cisplatin infusion [30-75 mg/m2]. Blood was collected pre-dose and up to 6 h post-dose. Urinary biomarkers [KIM-1, calbindin, clusterin, GST-pi, β2M, albumin, NGAL, osteopontin, clusterin, MCP-1, cystatin C, and TFF3] were measured at baseline, days 3 and 10. Total and unbound platinum concentrations were measured using ICP/MS. Noncompartmental analysis was performed, and correlation and regression analyses evaluated the relationships between platinum pharmacokinetics and nephrotoxicity. RESULTS Peak platinum urinary concentrations correlated with urinary levels of KIM-1, calbindin, clusterin, GST-pi, β2M, albumin, NGAL, osteopontin, clusterin, cystatin C, and TFF3 at day 10. Unbound platinum plasma concentrations at 2 h also correlated with urinary clusterin, β2M, cystatin C, NGAL, osteopontin, and TFF3 at day 3. Regression analyses suggested 2-h total plasma platinum concentrations greater than 2000 ng/ml, and peak urinary platinum concentrations above 24,000 ng/ml may serve as potential approximations for elevated risk of nephrotoxicity. Platinum area under the plasma concentration time curve was associated with serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS Peak plasma and urinary platinum concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters were associated with risk of subclinical cisplatin-induced kidney injury as assessed using novel urinary biomarkers. Future studies will examine these relationships in larger clinical populations of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.
