Examining the Influence of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Bulk Zinc Oxide on Rat Brain Functions: a Comprehensive Neurobehavioral, Antioxidant, Gene Expression, and Histopathological Investigation. Biol Trace Elem Res 2024; 202:4654-4673. [PMID: 38190061 PMCID: PMC11339107 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-023-04043-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
The study aimed to assess the impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on rats' neurobehavior compared to bulk zinc oxide (BZnO). Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups. The control group received Tween 80 (10%), while the ZnONP groups were given ZnONPs at 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight dosages, and the bulk zinc oxide (BZnO) groups received BZnO at the same dosages. Behavioral observations, neurobehavioral examinations, and assessments of brain tissue oxidative markers, neurotransmitter levels, and histopathological changes were performed. The results indicated that ZnONP at a dosage of 5 mg/kg improved general behavior, locomotor activity, memory, and recognition and reduced fearfulness in rats. Conversely, the higher dosage of 10 mg/kg and the bulk form had adverse effects on general behavior, locomotor activity, and learning ability, with the bulk form demonstrating the most severe impact-znONP-5 treatment increased antioxidant enzyme levels and decreased inflammatory markers. BZnO-5 exhibited lower oxidative stress markers, although still higher than BZnO-10. Furthermore, ZnONP-5 and BZnO-5 increased neurotransmitter levels compared to higher dosages. ZnONP-5 upregulated the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA, while BZnO-5 showed increased BDNF mRNA expression and decreased expression of genes related to apoptosis and inflammation. In summary, ZnONPs at 5 mg/kg demonstrated positive effects on rat brain function and behavior, while higher dosages and the bulk form had detrimental effects. In conclusion, the studies emphasized the importance of further assessing various doses and forms of zinc oxide on brain health, highlighting the significance of dosage considerations when using nanomaterials.

Abstract
Sorafenib, a multiple kinase inhibitor, is widely used in cancer patients. Recently, clinical studies highlighted the relationship between cognitive deficits and sorafenib exposure. Zinc abundant in the body has been reported to exert neuroprotective activities. However, the effects of zinc supplementation on sorafenib-induced cognitive impairment are still unknown. In the current study, we verified that mice challenged with sorafenib displayed characteristic features of cognitive impairment. However, zinc treatment effectively improved these changes. Histopathological staining also showed that zinc significantly alleviated hippocampal microstructural and ultrastructural damages induced by sorafenib. Meanwhile, zinc significantly reduced sorafenib-induced ROS production and neuronal cells apoptosis in vivo and vitro. Additionally, we also investigated whether zinc protected against sorafenib-induced neuronal cells apoptosis via ROS/JNK pathway through treating SH-SY5Y cells with the NAC or the specific JNK activator anisomycin. The results indicated that NAC performed the same protective effects as zinc in sorafenib-challenged SH-SY5Y cells and activation of JNK by anisomycin partly abolished the protective effects of zinc. Collectively, the present study suggested that inhibition of oxidative stress and the JNK pathway might contribute to the protective effects of zinc against sorafenib-caused cognitive impairment in vivo and vitro.

Abstract
Cisplatin used as chemotherapy for various cancers may leads to accumulation of platinum within the kidney and disturb its function. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are of low toxicity nanomaterials and have many medical fields so this study aims to indicate ZnO-NPs effect in kidney injury induced by cisplatin. Adult male rats were pre-injected with one dose of ZnO-NPs (5 mg/kg IP) and after 2 h from injection, the rats were injected with also only one dose of cisplatin (6 mg/kg IP) and two additional groups were served as controls treated with either ZnO-NPs or cisplatin only, respectively, and normal control was involved and euthanization occurred after 7 and 12 days. Cisplatin-induced nephropathy increased kidney function parameters; serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and microalbuminuria. Conversely, these parameters were down regulated after ZnO-NPs treatment. ZnO-NPs reversed the decrease of renal superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase and the increase of renal malondialdehyde induced by cisplatin. In addition, the annexin V demonstrated that the proportion of viable cells was significantly elevated and the proportion of apoptotic and necrotic cells significantly reduced. Also, the level of renal transforming growth factor beta 1 decreased in group pre-treated with ZnO-NPs. The Nuclear factor-E2-related factor, heme oxygenase-1 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression genes were up regulated while Bcl-2-associated X protein expression was down regulated in kidney tissue via ZnO-NPs. Histopathological and immunohistochemical observations were context with these findings. In conclusion, ZnO-NPs treatment revealed renoprotective effect against cisplatin drug, probably via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the urinary HSP72 levels (uHSP72) are a useful biomarker for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by two widely used drugs: cisplatin and acetaminophen. MATERIALS AND METHODS To analyze the time-course of nephrotoxic injury and uHSP72 levels, male Wistar rats were administered a single high dose of cisplatin (7 mg/kg) or acetaminophen (750 mg/kg) and were assessed at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. RESULTS AKI induced by cisplatin was characterized by tubular injury that started at 6 h and was enhanced after 48 h. Plasma creatinine was increased only after 72 h. In contrast, uHSP72 levels were augmented after 6 h and were enhanced after 48 h of cisplatin administration, which was consistent with the tubular injury. In acetaminophen-induced AKI, the tubular lesions were less severe and predominantly characterized by tubular cell detachment. Interestingly, uHSP72 levels were increased after 6 h of acetaminophen injection and remained elevated at the following time points, reflecting the tubular injury, even in the absence of major functional changes. CONCLUSIONS In two models of renal injury induced by nephrotoxic drugs, we showed that uHSP72 could be used as an early biomarker to detect subtle to severe tubular injury.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors. The most common side effect of CDDP is nephrotoxicity, and many efforts have been made in the laboratory and the clinic to employ candidate adjuvants to CDDP to minimize this adverse influence. Many synthetic and herbal antioxidants as well as trace elements have been investigated for this purpose in recent years and a variety of positive and negative results have been yielded. However, no definitive supplement has so far been proposed to prevent CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity; however, this condition is gender related and the sex hormone estrogen may protect the kidney against CDDP damage. In this review, the results of research related to the effect of different synthetic and herbal antioxidants supplements are presented and discussed with suggestions included for future work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is a platinum derivative frequently used in the chemotherapy of different solid tumors. This biochemical and histologic study investigated a possible protective effect of mirtazapine with regard to cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in the rat. METHODS The animals were divided into 4 groups: 15 mg/kg mirtazapine + 10 mg/kg cisplatin, 30 mg/kg mirtazapine + 10 mg/kg cisplatin, only 10 mg/kg cisplatin and negative control (healthy) group. During 14 days, the treatment and treated control group took drugs, while the healthy animals were given distilled water on the same schedule. All animals were sacrificed by high-dose anesthesia at the end of the 14 days of treatment; their kidneys were removed and subjected to histologic and biochemical study. RESULTS In both of the doses we used, mirtazapine decreased the levels of malondialdehyde, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and myeloperoxidase activity when compared to cisplatin group. On the other hand, it increased total glutathione level in all doses. Slight histopathological findings were determined in mirtazapine groups when compared to cisplatin control group. CONCLUSION In the light of our results and literature knowledge, we can conclude that the protective effect of mirtazapine in cisplatin toxicity originates from its own antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by anomalies forming in carbohydrate, lipid, protein metabolisms and the incidence of this disease varies widely throughout the world. Zinc is an important element which is essential for life and is present in nature. In this study, the animals were divided into four groups. These groups were named as untreated; zinc sulfate; streptozotocin (STZ); STZ and zinc sulfate. STZ (65 mg/kg) was dissolved in a freshly prepared 0.01 M pH 4.5 citrate buffer and given with intraperitoneal injection in a single dose. Zinc sulfate (100mg/kg) was dissolved in distilled water and given to the animals by gavage at a daily dose for 60 days. The rats were sacrificed under ether anesthesia. This study was aimed to investigate histological and biochemical changes of zinc supplementation on the kidney tissue in STZ-induced diabetic rats. In the current study, histological and histochemical observations showed that the occurred degenerative changes decreased after giving zinc in the kidney tissue of diabetic group. Kidney glutathione (GSH) levels decreased and lipid peroxidation (LPO), nonenzymatic glycosylation (NEG), urea and creatinine levels increased in diabetic rats. GSH levels increased, while LPO, NEG, urea and creatinine levels decreased in the kidney with administration of zinc to diabetic rats. As a result, we observed curative effects of zinc given to diabetic rats. We can say that zinc may be an important antioxidant for the treatment of secondary complications of diabetes in kidney tissue.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an anticancer agent marred by nephrotoxicity; however, limiting this adverse effect may allow the use of higher doses to improve its efficacy. Cilastatin, a small molecule inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase I, prevents proximal tubular cells from undergoing cisplatin-induced apoptosis in vitro. Here, we explored the in vivo relevance of these findings and the specificity of protection for kidney cells in cisplatin-treated rats. Cisplatin increased serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, and the fractional excretion of sodium. Cisplatin decreased the glomerular filtration rate, promoted histological renal injury and the expression of many pro-apoptotic proteins in the renal cortex, increased the Bax/Bcl2 ratio, and oxidative stress in kidney tissue and urine. All these features were decreased by cilastatin, which preserved renal function but did not modify the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin area under the curve. The cisplatin-induced death of cervical, colon, breast, and bladder-derived cancer cell lines was not prevented by cilastatin. Thus, cilastatin has the potential to prevent cisplatin nephrotoxicity without compromising its anticancer efficacy.
