Abstract
Mylabris, as a natural product of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), exhibiting typical antitumor activity, and cantharidin (CTD) is the major bioactive component. However, drug-induced nephrotoxicity (DIN) extremely limited its clinical application. In this study, we proved that activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-dependent PERK/CHOP pathway exerts a toxic role in rats and HK-2 cells through inducing autophagy and apoptosis. Results showed that CTD could cause renal function damage, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis. The ER dilatation and autolysosomes were observed after CTD treatment. Furthermore, the distribution of LC3, ATF4, and CHOP proteins was observed in the nucleus and cytoplasm. In addition, the mRNA levels of ER stress-regulated genes (PERK, eIF2α, CHOP, and ATF4) were increased, and the expression levels of GRP78, ATF4, CHOP, LC3, Beclin-1, Atg3, Atg7, Caspase 3, and Bax/Bcl-2 proteins were increased both in vitro and in vivo. Consistently, this upregulation could be inhibited by an ER stress inhibitor 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA), indicating that ER stress is partly responsible for activation of autophagy and apoptosis in CTD-induced DIN. In conclusion, CTD could induce DIN by triggering ER stress, further activating autophagy and apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro.

Bicalutamide Elicits Renal Damage by Causing Mitochondrial Dysfunction via ROS Damage and Upregulation of HIF-1. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093400. [PMID: 32403414 PMCID: PMC7247665 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Revised: 04/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Combined androgen blockade using bicalutamide (Bic) is a therapeutic choice for treating prostate cancer (PCa). However, even at regular clinical dosages, Bic frequently shows adverse effects associated with cardiovascular and renal damage. Previously, we found that Bic selectively damaged mesangial cells compared to tubular cells and in an in vivo rat model, we also found renal damage caused by Bic. In the present study, a rat mesangial cell model was used to further the investigation. Results indicated that Bic enhanced lactate dehydrogenase release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lysosome population and kidney injury molecule-1 and decreased N-cadherin. Bic elicited mitochondrial swelling and reduced the mitochondrial potential, resulting in severe suppression of the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), maximum respiration and ATP production. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α transcriptional activity and messenger RNA were significantly upregulated in dose-dependent manners. The HIF-1α protein reached a peak value at 24 h then rapidly decayed. BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa protein-interacting protein 3 and cleaved caspase-3 were dose-dependently upregulated by Bic (60 μM) and that eventually led to cell apoptosis. It is suggested that Bic induces renal damage via ROS and modulates HIF-1α pathway and clinically, some protective agents like antioxidants are recommended for co-treatment.

A systematic review to identify whether perfusate biomarkers produced during hypothermic machine perfusion can predict graft outcomes in kidney transplantation. Transpl Int 2020; 33:590-602.

Abstract
There is good evidence to support the use of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) over static cold storage as the favoured preservation method for deceased donor kidneys. However, the utility of HMP as a tool to assess the viability of kidneys for transplant is unclear. There is a need to determine whether perfusate biomarkers produced during HMP can predict post-transplant outcomes and assess the suitability of organs for transplantation. Three different databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Transplant Library) were screened to 31 May 2019. Articles were included if a relationship was reported between one or more perfusate biomarkers and post-transplant outcomes. Studies were assessed and graded for methodological quality and strength of evidence. Glutathione S-transferase was the most promising biomarker for predicting delayed graft function, but its predictive ability was at best moderate. Analysis of primary nonfunction rates was challenging due to low occurrence rates and small sample sizes. Existing studies are limited in quality and have not yielded biomarkers for kidneys undergoing HMP that are able to predict post-transplant outcomes with sufficient accuracy to support routine clinical use. Further studies with larger samples and more robust methodology are needed. (PROSPERO registration: CRD42019121161).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate and assign numbers to biochemical or cellular entities in lung-healthy patients that change immediately postsurgery compared with the same parameters immediately presurgery, with the hypothesis that biochemical markers with significant change could be the basis of tests to predict postoperative respiratory complications. Thirty lung-healthy adults who were to undergo elective surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia participated. The population included sequential persons that met inclusion criteria and gave consent. At intubation and before surgery, a bonchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. Before extubation but after completion of surgical procedures, a second 100-ml BAL was performed in the contralateral lung. Serum from both time periods was also collected. Total cell counts were elevated postsurgery in smokers and subjects claiming childhood but not current asthma, who also showed increased postsurgical BAL IL-1 but not increased TNFalpha. LDH and its isoenzymes, measured in both BAL and serum, showed no correlation with time on surgical ventilation, average FiO2, or average peak pressure during surgical ventilation. BAL LDH isoenzyme 4 showed a significant elevation pattern pre-to-post surgery when the entire subject population was considered irrespective of surgery type or time on ventilation. Presurgery versus postsurgery variation was best measured in BAL rather than in serum. The pulmonary, biochemical, and cellular parameters measured in the pre- and postsurgical BALs of lung-healthy subjects undergoing nonthoracic surgery show subtle modulations of pulmonary defense markers, defined by significantly increased proinflammatory cytokines and cell counts postsurgery compared to the same patient presurgery.

Abstract
Several laboratory parameters can be altered in advanced renal failure. Results may be difficult to interpret and may become misleading and unreliable in such a context. On the other hand, some of the alterations may reflect real abnormalities. Thus sufficient knowledge and careful judgment are required by the clinician. We reviewed different publications related to biochemical anomalies in renal failure and report some of the main findings. The sections are divided as follows: cardiovascular risk factors and markers, inflammation markers, pancreatic and liver function tests, hormones, bone turnover indices and parathyroid hormone assays, tumor markers, carbohydrate metabolism indicators, and others. The information provided should be useful to clinicians involved in the care of renal failure patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective activity of vitamin E against doxorubicin alone and doxorubicin in combination with cyclophosphamide in mice. Female BalbC/NIH mice were treated with vitamin E (100 IU/kg, orally) 24 hr before single bolus doses of doxorubicin (10 mg/kg, intravenously), or doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Non-treated animals served as negative controls, while positive control groups received doxorubicin or doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. For evaluation, serum enzyme activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehidrogenase (LDH), alpha-hydroxybutirate dehydrogenase (alpha-HBDH), and creatine kinase (CK) at 48 hr and histopathology examination of the heart tissue (Billigham rules) at 1.5 and 3 months followed to treatments were used. In sera of mice treated with vitamin E prior to doxorubicin, the creatine kinase and % alpha-HBDH activity were significantly reduced, compared to positive control. Histopathology changes (scored as 1.5 at 1.5 and 3 months respectively) were not significant compared to negative control at both time points of examination. In animals which received vitamin E before doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, none of the serum enzymes was significantly reduced compared to positive control, but non-significant increase in AST and creatine kinase activity was detected (3% and 16.57% respectively). The degree of myocardial damage was significantly higher compared to non-treated group (2.0 and 2.5 at 1.5 and 3 months respectively). Current results show that vitamin E in single oral dose failed to inhibit acute cardiotoxic activity of doxorubicin, but suspended further progression of the heart muscle damage over the time. On the contrary, vitamin E did not attain any cardioprotection against doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in combination.
