Abstract
Multiple cycles of cisplatin result in a permanent loss of kidney function with severe and life-limited chronic kidney disease (CKD) after successful cisplatin therapy. Recently, studies have showed that the activation of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) could protect against kidney disease. This study aimed to test the potential of the G1 compound, a GPER selective agonist, to prevent CKD development after cisplatin therapy. Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 2 cycles of 2.5 mg/kg cisplatin in a regimen miming clinical exposure (1 injection daily for 5 days, followed by a 16-day recovery period between cycles). G1 (50 or 100 μg/kg) was administered daily for 6 weeks. G1 dose-dependently improved kidney function biomarkers (serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, and protein excretion) and histopathological changes compared to the cisplatin-treated group. Collagen 3 expression was dose-dependently decreased in G1-treated groups that was parallel to the reduction of fibrosis in Masson's trichrome-stained sections. G1 administration also increased total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and reduced the level of malondialdehyde and the proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α. In addition, G1 downregulated the expression of inflammasome NLRP3 and nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65) in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, these data suggest that G1 could be a new therapeutic tool for CKD prevention post cisplatin therapy. These effects might be mediated through the activation of Nrf2 and the inhibition of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug with notable side effects including ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Macrophages, the major resident immune cells in the cochlea and kidney, are important drivers of both inflammatory and tissue repair responses. To investigate the roles of macrophages in cisplatin-induced toxicities, we used PLX3397, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved inhibitor of the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor, to eliminate tissue-resident macrophages. Mice treated with cisplatin alone had considerable hearing loss (ototoxicity) and kidney injury (nephrotoxicity). Macrophage ablation resulted in significantly reduced hearing loss and had greater outer hair cell survival. Macrophage ablation also protected against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, as evidenced by markedly reduced tubular injury and fibrosis. Mechanistically, our data suggest that the protective effect of macrophage ablation against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity is mediated by reduced platinum accumulation in both the inner ear and the kidney. Together, our data indicate that ablation of tissue-resident macrophages represents an important strategy for mitigating cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

Examining the quaternary ammonium chitosan Schiff base-ZnO nanocomposite's potential as protective therapy for rats' cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133616. [PMID: 39009258 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite cisplatin's long history as a cornerstone in cancer therapy, both acquired chemoresistance and significant impacts on healthy tissues limit its use. Hepatotoxicity is one of its side effects. Adjunct therapies have shown promise in not only attenuating liver damage caused by cisplatin but also in enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy. In this context, a new quaternary ammonium chitosan Schiff base (QACSB) was synthesized and applied as an encapsulating agent for the in-situ synthesis of QACSB-ZnO nanocomposite. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty male albino rats were classified into Group 1 (control) distilled water, Group 2 (Cisplatin-treated) (12 mg/kg, i.p), and Group 3 (QACSB-ZnO NCs/cisplatin-treated) (150 mg/kg/day QACSB-ZnO NCs, i.p) for 14 days + a single dose of cisplatin. Liver functions, tissue TNF-α, MDA, and GSH were measured as well as histopathological and immunohistochemical studies were performed. RESULTS The QACSB-ZnO NCs significantly restore liver functions, tissue TNF-α, MDA, and GSH levels (p < 0.001). Histopathological examination showed patchy necrosis in the cisplatin-treated group versus other groups. The QACSB-ZnO NCs showed a weak TGF-β1 (score = 4) and a moderate Bcl-2 immunohistochemistry expression (score = 6) versus the CP group. CONCLUSIONS QACSB-ZnO NCs have been shown to protect the liver from cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Proteomics coupled transcriptomics reveals Slc34a1 and Slc34a3 downregulation as potential features of nephrotoxin-induced acute kidney injury. J Proteomics 2024; 302:105203.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) stands as a prevalent and economically burdensome condition worldwide, yet its complex molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. To address this gap, our study employs a multifaceted approach, combining mass spectrometry and RNA sequencing technologies, to elucidate the intricate molecular landscape underlying nephrotoxin-induced AKI in mice by cisplatin- and LPS-induced. By examining the protein and RNA expression profiles, we aimed to uncover novel insights into the pathogenesis of AKI and identify potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Our results demonstrate significant down-regulation of Slc34a1 and Slc34a3, shedding light on their crucial roles in AKI pathology and highlighting their promise as actionable targets for diagnosis and treatment. This comprehensive analysis not only enhances our understanding of AKI pathophysiology but also offers valuable avenues for the development of targeted interventions to mitigate its clinical impact. SIGNIFICANCE: Nephrotoxicity acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical condition whose pathogenesis is the process by which some drugs, chemicals or other factors cause damage to the kidneys, resulting in impaired kidney function. Although it has been proved that different nephrotoxic substances can affect the kidney through different pathways, whether they have a commonality has not been registered. Here, we combined transcriptomics and proteomics to study the molecular mechanism of LPS and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxic acute kidney injury finding that the down-regulation of Slc34a1 and Slc34a3 may be a critical link in nephrotoxic acute kidney injury, which can be used as a marker for its early diagnosis.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapeutic, is effective against various solid tumors, but its use is often limited by its nephrotoxic effects. This study evaluated the protective effects of trametinib, an FDA-approved selective inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2), against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice. The experimental design included four groups, control, trametinib, cisplatin, and a combination of cisplatin and trametinib, each consisting of eight mice. Cisplatin was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 20 mg/kg to induce kidney injury, while trametinib was administered via oral gavage at 3 mg/kg daily for three days. Assessments were conducted 72 h after cisplatin administration. Our results demonstrate that trametinib significantly reduces the phosphorylation of MEK1/2 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), mitigated renal dysfunction, and ameliorated histopathological abnormalities. Additionally, trametinib significantly decreased macrophage infiltration and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the kidneys. It also lowered lipid peroxidation by-products, restored the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio, and downregulated NADPH oxidase 4. Furthermore, trametinib significantly inhibited both apoptosis and necroptosis in the kidneys. In conclusion, our data underscore the potential of trametinib as a therapeutic agent for cisplatin-induced AKI, highlighting its role in reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and tubular cell death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reno-renal reflexes are disturbed in cardiovascular and hypertensive conditions when elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators/cytokines are present within the kidney. We hypothesised that exogenously administered inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β modulate the renal sympatho-excitatory response to chemical stimulation of renal pelvic sensory nerves. METHODS In anaesthetised rats, intrarenal pelvic infusions of vehicle [0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl)], TNF-α (500 and 1000 ng/kg) and IL-1β (1000 ng/kg) were maintained for 30 min before chemical activation of renal pelvic sensory receptors was performed using randomized intrarenal pelvic infusions of hypertonic NaCl, potassium chloride (KCl), bradykinin, adenosine and capsaicin. RESULTS The increase in renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in response to intrarenal pelvic hypertonic NaCl was enhanced during intrapelvic TNF-α (1000 ng/kg) and IL-1β infusions by almost 800% above vehicle with minimal changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). Similarly, the RSNA response to intrarenal pelvic adenosine in the presence of TNF-α (500 ng/kg), but not IL-1β, was almost 200% above vehicle but neither MAP nor HR were changed. There was a blunted sympatho-excitatory response to intrapelvic bradykinin in the presence of TNF-α (1000 ng/kg), but not IL-1β, by almost 80% below vehicle, again without effect on either MAP or HR. CONCLUSION The renal sympatho-excitatory response to renal pelvic chemoreceptor stimulation is modulated by exogenous TNF-α and IL-1β. This suggests that inflammatory mediators within the kidney can play a significant role in modulating the renal afferent nerve-mediated sympatho-excitatory response.

Abstract
Key Points Szeto–Schiller-31–mediated mitoprotection is phospholipid scramblase 3–dependent. Phospholipid scramblase 3 is required for recovery after AKI. Background The synthetic tetrapeptide Szeto–Schiller (SS)-31 shows promise in alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction associated with common diseases. However, the precise pharmacological basis of its mitoprotective effects remains unknown. Methods To uncover the biological targets of SS-31, we performed a genome-scale clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats screen in human kidney-2, a cell culture model where SS-31 mitigates cisplatin-associated cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction. The identified hit candidate gene was functionally validated using knockout cell lines, small interfering RNA-mediated downregulation, and tubular epithelial–specific conditional knockout mice. Biochemical interaction studies were also performed to examine the interaction of SS-31 with the identified target protein. Results Our primary screen and validation studies in hexokinase 2 and primary murine tubular epithelial cells showed that phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLSCR3), an understudied inner mitochondrial membrane protein, was essential for the protective effects of SS-31. For in vivo validation, we generated tubular epithelial–specific knockout mice and found that Plscr3 gene ablation did not influence kidney function under normal conditions or affect the severity of cisplatin and rhabdomyolysis-associated AKI. However, Plscr3 gene deletion completely abrogated the protective effects of SS-31 during cisplatin and rhabdomyolysis-associated AKI. Biochemical studies showed that SS-31 directly binds to a previously uncharacterized N -terminal domain and stimulates PLSCR3 scramblase activity. Finally, PLSCR3 protein expression was found to be increased in the kidneys of patients with AKI. Conclusions PLSCR3 was identified as the essential biological target that facilitated the mitoprotective effects of SS-31 in vitro and in vivo .

Abstract
The gut microbiota has been reported to be perturbed by chemotherapeutic agents and to modulate side effects. However, the critical role of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in the regulation of the gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of chemotherapeutic agents related nephrotoxicity remains unknown. We conducted a comparative analysis of the composition and function of gut microbiota in healthy, cisplatin-challenged, BHB-treated, and high-fat diet-treated mice using 16 S rDNA gene sequencing. To understand the crucial involvement of intestinal flora in BHB's regulation of cisplatin -induced nephrotoxicity, we administered antibiotics to deplete the gut microbiota and performed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) before cisplatin administration. 16 S rDNA gene sequencing analysis demonstrated that both endogenous and exogenous BHB restored gut microbiota dysbiosis and cisplatin-induced intestinal barrier disruption in mice. Additionally, our findings suggested that the LPS/TLR4/NF-κB pathway was responsible for triggering renal inflammation in the gut-kidney axis. Furthermore, the ablation of the gut microbiota ablation using antibiotics eliminated the renoprotective effects of BHB against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. FMT also confirmed that administration of BHB-treated gut microbiota provided protection against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. This study elucidated the mechanism by which BHB affects the gut microbiota mediation of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by inhibiting the inflammatory response, which may help develop novel therapeutic approaches that target the composition of the microbiota.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CIS) stands as one of the most effective chemotherapy drugs currently available. Despite its anticancer properties, the clinical application of CIS is restricted due to nephrotoxicity. Our research aimed to specify the impact of ketotifen fumarate (KET) against nephrotoxicity induced by CIS in mice. Male NMRI mice were treated with KET (0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 mg/kg, ip) for seven days. On the fourth day of the study, a single dose of CIS (13 mg/kg, ip) was administered, and the mice were sacrificed on the eighth day. The results indicated that administration of KET attenuated CIS-induced elevation of BUN and Cr in the serum, as well as renal KIM-1 levels. This improvement was accompanied by a significant reduction in kidney tissue damage, which was supported by histopathological examinations. Likewise, the decrease in the ratio of GSH to GSSG and antioxidant enzyme activities (CAT, SOD, and GPx), and the increase in lipid peroxidation marker (TBARS) were reversed in KET-treated mice. The ELISA results revealed that KET-treated mice ameliorated CIS-induced elevation in the renal levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18. Western blot analysis exhibited that KET suppressed the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome in the kidney of CIS-treated mice. Moreover, KET treatment reversed the changes in the protein expression of markers related to apoptosis (Bax, Bcl2, Caspase-3, and p53). Interestingly, KET significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of CIS in HeLa cells. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the promising effects of KET in mitigating CIS-induced nephrotoxicity.

[PMID: 38772297 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is a novel anti-inflammatory component, and its role in protecting against acute kidney disease (AKD) has not been explored. Thymoquinone (TQ) has been widely used for many therapeutic targets. Inflammation/oxidative signaling plays essential roles in the pathogenesis of diverse disorders, such as AKD, cancer, cardiac disease, aging, and metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. The objective of the investigation was to evaluate how IL-35 prevents inflammation and oxidative stress indicators in the kidneys of rats caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The experimental rats were allocated into six groups: control (0.5 mL saline); TQ (0.5 mg/kg, b.w. IP), IL-35 (100 μg of IL-35 /kg, b.w. IP), LPS (500 μg/kg b.w. IP), LPS + IL-35, and LPS + TQ. Results indicate that the hematological and blood biochemical parameters were substantially restored by TQ or IL-35 therapy. The elevation of kidney function (uric acid, creatinine, and cystatin C) and oxidative related biomarkers (MDA, PC, and MYO) in rat kidneys was significantly restored by the TQ and IL-35 therapies after LPS administration (P < 0.05). Serum immunological variables IgM and IgG were significantly restored by TQ and IL-35 in LPS-treated rats. Both IL-35 and TQ markedly mitigated the decrease antioxidant related biomarkers (SOD, GSH, CAT and TAC) triggered by LPS. The IL-35 and TQ treatments significantly diminished serum levels of inflammatory responses such as TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6 and IFN-γ, and significantly increased IL-10 in LPS-treated rats. Additionally, serum levels of MCP, Caspase-3, andBcl-2 were significantly diminished by TQ or IL-35 therapy. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry for NF-kB, PCNA and TNF-α cytokines revealedremodeling when treated with TQ and IL-35. In summary, administration of IL-35 or TQ can attenuateLPS-induced renal damage by extenuatingoxidative stress, tissue impairment, apoptosis, and inflammation, implicating IL-35 as a promising therapeutic agent in acute-related renal injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrodia elata Blume (GEB), a traditional medicinal herb, has been reported to have pharmacological effect including protection against liver, neuron and kidney toxicity. However, explanation of its underlying mechanisms remains a great challenge. This study investigated the protective effects of GEB extract on vancomycin (VAN)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and underlying mechanisms with emphasis on the anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. The male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided three groups: control (CON) group, VAN group and GEB group with duration of 14 days. RESULTS The kidney weight and the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in the GEB group were lower than the VAN group. Histological analysis using hematoxylin & eosin and periodic acid Schiff staining revealed pathological changes of the VAN group. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the expression levels of N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase, myeloperoxidase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the GEB group were decreased when compared with the VAN group. The number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling-positive cells, phosphohistone and malondialdehyde levels were lower in the GEB group than VAN group. The levels of total glutathione in the GEB group were higher than the VAN group. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggested that GEB extract prevents VAN-induced renal tissue damage through anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cisplatin contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) that occurs with greater frequency and severity in older patients. Age-associated cisplatin sensitivity in human fibroblasts involves increased mitochondrial superoxide produced by older donor cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Young and old C57BL/6 J murine models of cisplatin-induced AKI and CKD were treated with the SOD mimetic avasopasem manganese to investigate the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Adverse event reporting from a phase 2 and a phase 3 randomized clinical trial (NCT02508389 and NCT03689712) conducted in patients treated with cisplatin and AVA was determined to have established the incidence and severity of AKI. RESULTS Cisplatin-induced AKI and CKD occurred in all mice, however, was more pronounced in older mice. AVA reduced cisplatin-induced mortality, AKI, and CKD, in older animals. AVA also alleviated cisplatin-induced alterations in mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complex activities and NADPH Oxidase 4 (NOX4) and inhibited the increased levels of the inflammation markers, TNFα, IL1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1. Analysis of age-stratified subjects treated with cisplatin from clinical trials (NCT02508389, NCT03689712) also supported that the incidence of AKI increased with age and AVA reduced age-associated therapy-induced adverse events (AE), including hypomagnesemia, increased creatinine, and AKI. CONCLUSIONS Older mice and humans are more susceptible to cisplatin-induced kidney injury, and treatment with AVA mitigates age-associated damage. Mitochondrial ETC and NOX4 activities represent sources of superoxide production contributing to cisplatin-induced kidney injury, and pro-inflammatory cytokine production and endothelial dysfunction may also be increased by superoxide formation.

Abstract
In recent years, the cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity induced by chemotherapeutic drugs such as cisplatin (CP) have become significant issues. The current research looks into the effects of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) on CP-induced hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity in rats. A total of 32 male Sprague Dawley rats were separated into four different groups: (1) control group, received only normal saline; (2) NaHS group, was intraperitoneally injected with NaHS (200 µg/kg/d, dissolved in saline) for 15 days; (3) CP group, was intraperitoneally injected only one dose of CP (5 mg/kg) and (4) CP plus NaHS group, received CP along with NaHS. Blood and tissues samples were harvested for biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical investigations. To determine the data's statistical significance, a one-way analysis of variance was used. CP injection significantly increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatine phospho kinase (CK-MB), cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), and lipid peroxidation levels, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL), albumin, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase (CAT) levels were significantly reduced with pathological alterations in liver and heart tissues. Co-treatment NaHS with CP ameliorates the biochemical and histological parameters. Also, Treatment solely with CP resulted in increased tissue expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in liver and heart but co-treatment NaHS with CP reduced the expression of this inflammatory factor. We conclude that NaHS operates in the liver and heart as an anti-inflammatory and powerful free radicals' scavenger to inhibit the toxic effects of CP, both at the biochemical and histopathological levels.

Abstract
Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a critical limitation of solid cancer treatment. Until now, the complex interplay of various pathophysiological mechanisms leading to proximal tubular cell apoptosis after cisplatin exposure has not been fully understood. In our study, we assessed the role of the autophagy-related protein BECLIN1 (ATG6) in cisplatin-induced acute renal injury (AKI)-a candidate protein involved in autophagy and with putative impact on apoptosis by harboring a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) interaction site of unknown significance. By using mice with heterozygous deletion of Becn1, we demonstrate that reduced intracellular content of BECLIN1 does not impact renal function or autophagy within 12 months. However, these mice were significantly sensitized towards cisplatin-induced AKI, and by using Becn1+/-;Sglt2-Cre;Tomato/EGFP mice with subsequent primary cell analysis, we confirmed that nephrotoxicity depends on proximal tubular BECLIN1 content. Mechanistically, BECLIN1 did not impact autophagy or primarily the apoptotic pathway. In fact, a lack of BECLIN1 sensitized mice towards cisplatin-induced ER stress. Accordingly, the ER stress inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) blunted cisplatin-induced cell death in Becn1 heterozygosity. In conclusion, our data first highlight a novel role of BECLIN1 in protecting against cellular ER stress independent from autophagy. These novel findings open new therapeutic avenues to intervene in this important intracellular stress response pathway with a promising impact on future AKI management.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden and continuous decline in renal function. The drug cisplatin is commonly used as chemotherapy for solid tumors, and cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which is characterized by acute tubular necrosis and inflammation, frequently occurs in tumor patients. Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are severely damaged early in this process and play an important role in renal tubular injury and the recruitment of immune cells. Macrophages are the most common infiltrating immune cells in the kidney and have a significant impact on CI-AKI and subsequent repair. This article reviews the latest research progress on the effects of RTECs and macrophages on CI-AKI and their interactions in AKI to provide a direction for identifying therapeutic targets for treating AKI.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 320:117344. [PMID: 37949330 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Huangqi Jiuni decoction (HQJND) is a prescription for the treatment of severe burns provided based on traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is created by the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. It consists of 12 herbs and has been used clinically for decades. It has greatly shortened the course of the disease, but the mechanism by which HQJND treats the disease still remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY Hence, the objective of this investigation was to utilize modern pharmacological tools to demonstrate the efficacy and mechanism of HQJND in the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by severe burns. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, the chemical constituents in HQJND were first examined using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Then, by using network pharmacology, we screened the targets of drug and disease action, and predicted the signaling pathways acting in the course of drug treatment of disease. Finally, we attempted to verify the efficacy of the drug and explored its therapeutic mechanism after the establishment of an animal model, herbal gavage treatment, collection of rat kidneys and serum for renal function, quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), Western Blotting (WB), Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS The 14 important active ingredients in HQJND was analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, while network pharmacology screening was performed to identify 353 disease-associated marker genes and 286 drug targets, finally identifying the TNF/NF-κB (tumor necrosis factor/nuclear factor kappa-B) signaling site: the key pathway of burn-induced acute kidney injury when HQJND intervened. The serum renal function and histopathology of rats demonstrated that the use of HQJND significantly improved the renal function in severe burns. RT-qPCR and WB confirmed that the TNF/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated in the Model group of rats, and HQJND could curb the signaling pathway because it moderated the expressions of key proteins in the process. CONCLUSION Based on modern pharmacology, we explored an effective herbal preparation to ameliorate the impairment of renal function after severe burns, which is most likely to function through the TNF/NF-κB signaling pathway.

[PMID: 38246731 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphs.2023.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by reduced renal function, oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal fibrosis. CU06-1004, an endothelial cell dysfunction blocker, exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing vascular permeability in pathological conditions. However, the potential effects of CU06-1004 on AKI have not been investigated. We investigated the renoprotective effect of CU06-1004 against oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrotic changes in a folic acid-induced AKI model. METHODS AKI was induced by intraperitoneal injection of high dose (250 mg/kg) folic acid in mice. CU06-1004 was orally administered a low (10 mg/kg) or high dose (20 mg/kg). RESULTS CU06-1004 ameliorated folic acid-induced AKI by decreasing serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, mitigating histological abnormalities, and decreasing tubular injury markers such as kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in folic acid-induced AKI mice. Additionally, CU06-1004 alleviated folic acid-induced oxidative stress by reducing 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde levels. Furthermore, it attenuated macrophage infiltration and suppressed the expression of the proinflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-α, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion protein-1. Moreover, CU06-1004 mitigated folic acid-induced tubulointerstitial fibrosis by decreasing α-smooth muscle actin and transforming growth factor-β expression. CONCLUSION These findings suggest CU06-1004 as a potential therapeutic agent for folic acid-induced AKI.

Abstract
Key Points Proximal tubular TNF aggravates kidney injury and fibrogenesis in aristolochic acid nephropathy. Tubular TNF disrupts the cell cycle in injured tubular epithelial cells. TNF-mediated toxic renal injury is independent of systemic immune responses. Background Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) presents with tubular epithelial cell (TEC) damage and tubulointerstitial inflammation. Although TNF-α regulates cell apoptosis and inflammatory responses, the effects of tubular TNF in the progression of AAN require elucidation. Methods Floxed TNF mice on the 129/SvEv background were crossed with PEPCK-Cre mice to generate PEPCK-Cre + TNF flox/flox (TNF PTKO) mice or bred with Ksp-Cre mice to generate KSP-Cre + TNF flox/flox (TNF DNKO) mice. TNF PTKO, TNF DNKO, and wild-type controls (Cre negative littermates) were subjected to acute and chronic AAN. Results Deletion of TNF in the proximal but not distal nephron attenuated kidney injury, renal inflammation, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis after acute or chronic aristolochic acid (AA) exposure. The TNF PTKO mice did not have altered numbers of infiltrating myeloid cells in AAN kidneys. Nevertheless, kidneys from AA-treated TNF PTKO mice had reduced levels of proteins involved in regulated cell death, higher proportions of TECs in the G0/G1 phase, and reduced TEC proportions in the G2/M phase. Pifithrin-α , which restores the cell cycle, abrogated differences between the wild-type and PTKO cohorts in G2/M phase arrest of TECs and kidney fibrosis after AA exposure. Conclusions TNF from the proximal but not the distal nephron propagates kidney injury and fibrogenesis in AAN in part by inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest of TECs.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the development of drugs to combat cancer. It is unfortunate that these drugs can also lead to various kidney injuries and imbalances in electrolyte levels. Nephrotoxicity caused by chemotherapy drugs can impact different parts of the kidneys, including the glomeruli, renal tubules, interstitium, or renal microvessels. Despite the existing knowledge, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the renal damage caused by antitumoral drugs remains incomplete. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the specific types of kidney injury and the mechanisms responsible for the drug-mediated renal damage, and briefly discuss possible prevention and treatment measures. Sensitive blood and urine biomarkers can provide clinicians with more information about kidney injury detection and reference value for subsequent treatment options. In addition, we emphasize that both oncologists and nephrologists have a responsibility to remain vigilant against the potential nephrotoxicity of the drugs. It's crucial for experts in both fields to collaborate in early detection, monitoring and prevention of kidney damage.

Abstract
The renin angiotensin system is a key regulator of blood pressure homeostasis. Angiotensin type 1 (AT1R) and 2 receptors (AT2R) have been investigated as targets for cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury; however, their therapeutic potential remains inconclusive. This pilot study aimed to determined the effect that acute cisplatin treatment had on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced contraction in blood vessels and expression profiles of AT1R and AT2R in mouse arteries and kidneys. Male C57BL/6 mice at 18 week of age (n = 8) were treated with vehicle or bolus dose of cisplatin (12.5 mg/kg). Thoracic aorta (TA), adnominal aorta (AA), brachiocephalic arteries (BC), iliac arteries (IL) and kidneys were collected for isometric tension and immunohistochemistry analysis. Cisplatin treatment reduced IL contraction to AngII at all doses (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, p < 0.0001); however, AngII did not induce contraction in TA, AA or BC in either treatment group. Following cisplatin treatment, AT1R expression was significantly upregulated in the media of TA (p < 0.0001) and AA (p < 0.0001), and in the endothelium (p < 0.05) media (p < 0.0001) and adventitia (p < 0.01) of IL. Cisplatin treatment significantly reduced AT2R expression in the endothelium (p < 0.05) and media (p < 0.05) of TA. In renal tubules, both AT1R (p < 0.01) and AT2R (p < 0.05) were increased following cisplatin treatment. Herein, we report that cisplatin reduces AngII-mediated contraction in IL and may be explained by an absence of normal counterregulatory expression of AT1R and AT2R, indicating other factors are involved.

Abstract
Cisplatin (DDP) is a potent chemotherapeutic; however, it can also cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Because of the complexity of the toxicity it induces, few effective methods exist for ameliorating any form of DDP-induced AKI. Recent research has suggested that the complement system is a potential molecular target for such amelioration. In the study here, in vivo (male ICR mice) and in vitro (HK-2 cells) models of DDP-induced AKI were established to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of Vitamin D (VD) against this form of AKI. Endpoints assessed in vivo/in vitro included overall renal function, degree of renal damage, and complement receptor C5aR expression using histology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, and Western blots. The data indicated that the use of VD treatment could reduce renal pathological damage along with expression of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-18, and C5aR; however, an over-expression of C5aR weakened the protective effects of VD/VD receptor (VDR) against oxidative damage and inflammatory cell infiltration. Using a luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP analysis, it was demonstrated that C5aR was transcriptionally inhibited by VDR. In conclusion, VD/VDR could delay DDP-induced AKI by inhibiting the expression of C5aR through transcriptional regulation and reducing the production of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. The present study revealed the regulatory mechanism of VD/VDR in acute renal inflammation and provides new insights into its therapeutic function in DDP-induced AKI.

The Protective Effect of Marsdenia tenacissima against Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity Mediated by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis. Molecules 2023; 28:7582.

Abstract
Cisplatin (Cis) is considered to be one of the most effective drugs for killing cancer cells and remains a first-line chemotherapeutic agent. However, Cis's multiple toxicities (especially nephrotoxicity) have limited its clinical use. Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. (MT), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) employed extensively in China, not only enhances the antitumor effect in combination with Cis, but is also used for its detoxifying effect, as it reduces the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of MT on Cis-induced nephrotoxicity, along with its underlying mechanisms. In this study, liquid-mass spectrometry was performed to identify the complex composition of the extracts of MT. In addition, we measured the renal function, antioxidant enzymes, and inflammatory cytokines in mice with Cis-induced nephrotoxicity and conducted renal histology evaluations to assess renal injury. The expressions of the proteins related to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and apoptotic markers in renal tissues was detected by Western blotting (WB). MT treatment improved the renal function, decreased the mRNA expression of the inflammatory factors, and increased the antioxidant enzyme activity in mice. A better renal histology was observed after MT treatment. Further, MT inhibited the expression of the phospho-NFκB p65 protein/NFκB p65 protein (p-p65)/p65, phospho-inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase beta subunit/inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase beta subunit (p-IKKβ/IKKβ), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), and Cleaved Caspase 3/Caspase 3 proteins, while the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Recombinant NADH Dehydrogenase, Quinone 1 (NQO1), and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was increased. The present study showed that MT ameliorated renal injury, which mainly occurs through the regulation of the Nrf2 pathway, the NF-κB pathway, and the suppression of renal tissue apoptosis. It also suggests that MT can be used as an adjuvant to mitigate the nephrotoxicity of Cis chemotherapy.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in cancer therapeutics, chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for many tumors. Importantly, however, chemotherapy-induced toxicity, including hepatotoxicity, can lead to the interruption or discontinuation of potentially effective therapy. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the search for complementary therapies to mitigate chemotherapy-induced toxicity. Although there is currently a lack of specific interventions to mitigate or prevent hepatotoxicity in chemotherapy-treated patients, the polyphenol compound curcumin has emerged as a potential strategy to overcome this adverse effect. Here we review, firstly, the molecular and physiological mechanisms and major risk factors of chemotherapy-induced hepatotoxicity. We then present an overview of how curcumin has the potential to mitigate hepatotoxicity by targeting specific molecular mechanisms. Hepatotoxicity is a well-described side effect of cytotoxic drugs that can limit their clinical application. Inflammation and oxidative stress are the most common mechanisms involved in hepatotoxicity. Several studies have shown that curcumin could prevent and/or palliate chemotherapy-induced liver injury, mainly due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifibrotic and hypolipidemic properties. Further clinical investigation using bioavailable curcumin formulations is warranted to demonstrate its efficacy as an hepatoprotective agent in cancer patients.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor and is often diagnosed at an unresectable advanced stage. Systemic chemotherapy as well as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) are used to treat advanced HCC. TACE and HAIC have long been the standard of care for patients with unresectable HCC but are limited to the treatment of intrahepatic lesions. Systemic chemotherapy with doxorubicin or chemohormonal therapy with tamoxifen have also been considered, but neither has demonstrated survival benefits. In the treatment of unresectable advanced HCC, cisplatin is administered transhepatic arterially for local treatment. Subsequently, for cisplatin-refractory cases due to drug resistance, a shift to systemic therapy with a different mechanism of action is expected to produce new antitumor effects. Cisplatin is also used for the treatment of liver tumors other than HCC. This review summarizes the action and resistance mechanism of cisplatin and describes the treatment of the major hepatobiliary cancers for which cisplatin is used as an anticancer agent, with a focus on HCC.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 309:116327. [PMID: 36889420 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Yi-Shen-Xie-Zhuo formula (YSXZF) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription developed from the classic prescription Mulizexie powder documented in the book of Golden Chamber Synopsis and the Buyanghuanwu Decoction recorded in the book of Correction of Errors in Medical Classics. According to our years of clinical experience, YSXZF can effectively improve qi deficiency and blood stasis in kidney disease. However, its mechanisms need further clarification. AIM OF THE STUDY Apoptosis and inflammation play key roles in acute kidney disease (AKI). The Yi-Shen-Xie-Zhuo formula, consisting of four herbs, is commonly used for treating renal disease. However, the underlying mechanism and bioactive components remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of YSXZF against apoptosis and inflammation in a cisplatin-treated mouse model, and identify the main bioactive components of YSXZF. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 mice were administered cisplatin (15 mg/kg) with or without YSXZF (11.375 or 22.75 g/kg/d). HKC-8 cells were treated with cisplatin (20 μM) with or without YSXZF (5% or 10%) for 24 h. Renal function, morphology, and cell damage were evaluated. UHPLC-MS was used to analyze the herbal components and metabolites in the YSXZF-containing serum. RESULTS Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, serum and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were clearly increased in the cisplatin-treated group. Administration of YSXZF reversed these changes; it improved renal histology, downregulated kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) expression, and lowered the number of TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells. YSXZF significantly downregulated cleaved caspase-3 and BAX, and upregulated BCL-2 proteins in renal tissues. YSXZF suppressed increase in cGAS/STING activation and inflammation. In vitro treatment with YSXZF markedly reduced cisplatin-induced HKC-8 cell apoptosis, relieved cGAS/STING activation and inflammation, improved mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and lowered reactive oxygen species (ROS) overgeneration. Small RNA interference (siRNA)-mediated silencing of cGAS or STING inhibited the protective effects of YSXZF. Twenty-three bioactive constituents from the YSXZF-containing serum were identified as key components. CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that YSXZF protects against AKI by suppressing inflammation and apoptosis via the cGAS/STING signaling pathway.

Zinc finger protein 24-dependent transcription factor SOX9 up-regulation protects tubular epithelial cells during acute kidney injury. Kidney Int 2023; 103:1093-1104.

Abstract
Transcriptional profiling studies have identified several protective genes upregulated in tubular epithelial cells during acute kidney injury (AKI). Identifying upstream transcriptional regulators could lead to the development of therapeutic strategies augmenting the repair processes. SOX9 is a transcription factor controlling cell-fate during embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis in multiple organs including the kidneys. SOX9 expression is low in adult kidneys; however, stress conditions can trigger its transcriptional upregulation in tubular epithelial cells. SOX9 plays a protective role during the early phase of AKI and facilitates repair during the recovery phase. To identify the upstream transcriptional regulators that drive SOX9 upregulation in tubular epithelial cells, we used an unbiased transcription factor screening approach. Preliminary screening and validation studies show that zinc finger protein 24 (ZFP24) governs SOX9 upregulation in tubular epithelial cells. ZFP24, a Cys2-His2 (C2H2) zinc finger protein, is essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and myelination; however, its role in the kidneys or in SOX9 regulation remains unknown. Here, we found that tubular epithelial ZFP24 gene ablation exacerbated ischemia, rhabdomyolysis, and cisplatin-associated AKI. Importantly, ZFP24 gene deletion resulted in suppression of SOX9 upregulation in injured tubular epithelial cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and promoter luciferase assays confirmed that ZFP24 bound to a specific site in both murine and human SOX9 promoters. Importantly, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutation in the ZFP24 binding site in the SOX9 promoter in vivo led to suppression of SOX9 upregulation during AKI. Thus, our findings identify ZFP24 as a critical stress-responsive transcription factor protecting tubular epithelial cells through SOX9 upregulation.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e33727. [PMID: 37171332 PMCID: PMC10174353 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000033727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease that poses a huge economic burden to society. Liuwei Dihuanng pill is an effective treatment for chronic kidney disease, but its treatment mechanism is unclear. The rapid development of network pharmacology has provided new strategies for studying Chinese medicine. METHOD The traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform was used to obtain the bioactive components and targets of Liuwei Dihuanng pill. The sources for the CKD-related targets were then obtained from the Genecards, OMIM, TTD, and DisGeNET databases. R was used to identify the intersecting genes for Liuwei Dihuang pill and CKD-related targets. Analysis of protein-protein interactions (PPI) was performed using STRING, and PPI networks and drug-component-target networks were constructed using Cytoscape software. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed using R. Finally, molecular docking was performed to determine the binding activity between bioactive components and the targets. RESULT After screening and data de-duplication of 74 active components, 209 drug targets, and 14,794 disease targets, a total of 204 drug-disease targets were acquired. Subsequently, a drug-component-target network and PPI network were established. The primary components of Liuwei Dihuang pill included quercetin, stigmasterol, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, tetrahydroalstonine, kadsurenone, hederagenin, hancinone C, diosgenin, and sitosterol. In addition, JUN, AKT1, TP53, RELA, MAPK1, FOS, TNF, IL6, ESR1, and RXRA were identified as the main targets. Gene ontology function enrichment analysis revealed that these targets were involved in reactive oxygen species metabolic processes, responses to metal ions and to chemical stimuli, G protein-coupled amine receptor activity, and nuclear factor receptor activity. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis showed that these targets were involved in the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, and so on. Molecular docking results indicated good binding activity between the core targets and core components. CONCLUSION The potential mechanism of Liuwei Dihuanng pill in the treatment of CKD was preliminarily discussed in this study, providing a theoretical basis and evidence for further experimental research.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) that involves proteases of the caspase family. Pharmacological and genetic strategies that experimentally inhibit or delay apoptosis in mammalian systems have elucidated the key contribution of this process not only to (post-)embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis, but also to the etiology of multiple human disorders. Consistent with this notion, while defects in the molecular machinery for apoptotic cell death impair organismal development and promote oncogenesis, the unwarranted activation of apoptosis promotes cell loss and tissue damage in the context of various neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, infectious, neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Here, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) gathered to critically summarize an abundant pre-clinical literature mechanistically linking the core apoptotic apparatus to organismal homeostasis in the context of disease.

Gallic acid and/or cerium oxide nanoparticles synthesized by gamma-irradiation protect cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity via modulating oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Arch Biochem Biophys 2023; 740:109594. [PMID: 37023935 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2023.109594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most significant anticancer. However, its use is associated with numerous toxicities especially nephrotoxicity. The main aim of this work was to examine the protective effect of Gallic acid (GA) and/or cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) synthesized by gamma-irradiation on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. To do that, 48 adult male albino rats were separated into eight groups and received GA (100 mg/kg orally) and/or CONPs (15 mg/kg i. p.) for 10 days before injection with a single dose of cisplatin (7.5 mg/kg i. p.). The findings showed that cisplatin treatment impaired kidney functioning as shown by elevated serum levels of urea and creatinine. Additionally, the oxidative stress indicators (MDA and NO), levels of NF-kB, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1-and TNF-) and pro-apoptotic proteins (BAX and caspase-3) were raised after cisplatin injection, while levels of intrinsic anti-oxidants (CAT, SOD, and GSH) and anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) were reduced. Moreover, renal toxicity was confirmed by alteration in normal histological architecture of the kidneys. On the other hand, pretreatment with CONPs and/or GA ameliorated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity as evidenced by improvement of renal function parameters and levels of oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic markers in renal tissue along with the renal histopathological changes. This study clarifies how GA and CONPs protect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and demonstrates any potential synergism between them. Therefore, they can be considered as promising nephroprotective agents during chemotherapy.

SGLT2 Inhibitor—Dapagliflozin Attenuates Diabetes-Induced Renal Injury by Regulating Inflammation through a CYP4A/20-HETE Signaling Mechanism. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15030965. [PMID: 36986825 PMCID: PMC10054805 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15030965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious complication of diabetes, affecting millions of people worldwide. Inflammation and oxidative stress are key contributors to the development and progression of DKD, making them potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have emerged as a promising class of drugs, with evidence demonstrating that they can improve renal outcomes in people with diabetes. However, the exact mechanism by which SGLT2i exert their renoprotective effects is not yet fully understood. This study demonstrates that dapagliflozin treatment attenuates renal injury observed in type 2 diabetic mice. This is evidenced by the reduction in renal hypertrophy and proteinuria. Furthermore, dapagliflozin decreases tubulointerstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis by mitigating the generation of reactive oxygen species and inflammation, which are activated through the production of CYP4A-induced 20-HETE. Our findings provide insights onto a novel mechanistic pathway by which SGLT2i exerts their renoprotective effects. Overall, and to our knowledge, the study provides critical insights into the pathophysiology of DKD and represents an important step towards improving outcomes for people with this devastating condition.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2206821. [PMID: 36574636 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202206821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Oral delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) provides a promising paradigm for treating diseases that require regular injections. However, the multiple gastrointestinal (GI) and systemic barriers often lead to inefficient oral absorption and low bioavailability of siRNA. Technologies that can overcome these barriers are still lacking, which hinders the clinical potential of orally delivered siRNA. Herein, small-sized, fluorinated nanocapsules (F-NCs) are developed to mediate efficient oral delivery of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) siRNA for anti-inflammation treatment. The NCs possess a disulfide-cross-linked shell structure, thus featuring robust stability in the GI tract. Because of their small size (≈30 nm) and fluorocarbon-assisted repelling of mucin adsorption, the best-performing F3 -NCs show excellent mucus penetration and intestinal transport capabilities without impairing the intestinal tight junction, conferring the oral bioavailability of 20.4% in relative to intravenous injection. The disulfide cross-linker can be cleaved inside target cells, causing NCs dissociation and siRNA release to potentiate the TNF-α silencing efficiency. In murine models of acute and chronic inflammation, orally delivered F3 -NCs provoke efficient TNF-α silencing and pronounced anti-inflammatory efficacies. This study therefore provides a transformative strategy for oral siRNA delivery, and will render promising utilities for anti-inflammation treatment.

Ameliorative effect of desloratadine against cisplatin-induced renal and testicular toxicity in rats: Attention to TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Life Sci 2023; 316:121441. [PMID: 36709911 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin (CIS) is a potent anticancer drug that is used in the treatment of different types of cancer. Owing to its serious side effects, its clinical use is considerably limited. AIMS This study was mapped to investigate the potential effects of desloratadine (DES) against CIS-induced nephrotoxicity and testicular injury. MAIN METHODS DES (5 and 10 mg/kg) was orally administered for 10 days, and CIS was injected once (10 mg/kg, i.p.) in adult male rats on day 9 to induce both renal and testicular toxicity. KEY FINDINGS DES significantly attenuated CIS-induced alterations in histopathology and biomarkers. DES resulted in a significant reduction in serum levels of creatinine (Cr), urea, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), in addition to a marked decrease in urinary levels of albumin and total protein. Additionally, DES efficiently reinstated the oxidative balance by preventing the elevation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and enhancing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and increasing glutathione (GSH) levels. Moreover, DES produced a profound decrease in renal and testicular levels of nucleotide-binding domain-(NOD) like receptor 3 (NLRP3), interleukin (IL)-1β, and caspase-1 when compared to the CIS group. Furthermore, DES significantly decreased CIS-induced elevation in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) levels in both renal and testicular tissues. SIGNIFICANCE DES can be used as adjuvant therapy with CIS in cancerous cases, pending further clinical studies.

[PMID: 36216195 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Shenkang injection (SKI), a Chinese patent medicine injection, has been approved for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to its definite clinical therapeutic efficacy. However, the effect and associated underlying mechanism of Shenkang injection against cisplatin (CDDP)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) has not yet been well elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect and associated underlying mechanism of Shenkang injection against CDDP-induced AKI. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established a CDDP-induced AKI mouse model to evaluate renal function by biochemical markers measurement and to observe histopathological alterations by haemotoxylin and eosin (HE)-staining sections of renal. In addition, the distribution of representative components of SKI in the kidneys of mice was evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Furthermore, the degree of oxidative stress and inflammation were assessed by detecting the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidants, while the related mechanisms were elucidated by network pharmacology. RESULTS CDDP could induce excessive inflammation and severe injury to the kidneys of mice. However, SKI significantly ameliorated the kidney damages and improved the renal function by reducing the levels of renal function markers (SCr, BUN and urine protein), and inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-34, IL-6 and TNF-α. SKI repaired oxidative balance through up-regulation of antioxidants SOD and GSH and down-regulated oxidants MDA. Moreover, 4 components from SKI were detected in the kidney by LC-MS/MS quantification. In addition, pharmacology network indicated the PI3K/AKT, TNF, MAPK, and p53 were the possible signaling pathways for the therapeutic effect of SKI against CDDP-induced AKI, which were related to inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. CONCLUSION In the present study, we for the first time demonstrated that SKI alleviates CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity by antioxidant and anti-inflammation via regulating PI3K/AKT, MAPK, TNF, and p53 signaling pathways. The study may provide a scientific rationale for the clinical indication of SKI.

Paricalcitol Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury in Mice by Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Inflammation via Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24020969. [PMID: 36674485 PMCID: PMC9861387 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24020969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Effective and targeted prevention and treatment methods for acute kidney injury (AKI), a common clinical complication, still needs to be explored. Paricalcitol is a biologically active chemical that binds to vitamin D receptors in the body to exert anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the molecular mechanism of the effect of paricalcitol on AKI remains unclear. The current study uses a paricalcitol pretreatment with a mouse AKI model induced by cisplatin to detect changes in renal function, pathology and ultrastructure. Results showed that paricalcitol significantly improved renal function in mice and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and mitochondrial damage in renal tissue. Furthermore, paricalcitol markedly suppressed reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels in the kidneys of AKI mice and increased the levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, Catalase and total anti-oxidant capacity. In addition, we detected renal necrosis and inflammation-related proteins in AKI mice by immunofluorescence and Western blot, and found that their levels were markedly decreased after paricalcitol pretreatment. Moreover, paricalcitol promotes nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the nucleus and activates the Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway; while HO-1 is inhibited, the protective effect of paricalcitol on the kidney is attenuated. In conclusion, paricalcitol exerts a renoprotective effect by decreasing renal oxidative injury and inflammation through Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, providing a new insight into AKI prevention.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have gained interest as an alternative therapeutic option for renal diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). However, their use is often limited owing to low survival rates in vivo. Fenoldopam mesylate (FD) is a selective dopamine D1 receptor agonist with antioxidative and anti-apoptotic roles. Herein, we investigated whether FD can enhance the survival of MSCs undergoing oxidative stress in vitro. In addition, the therapeutic effect of MSCs and FD-treated MSCs (FD-MSCs) was compared in a mouse model of AKI induced by cisplatin. The survival of MSCs under oxidative stress was augmented by FD treatment. FD induced the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein and AKT, contributing to enhanced growth compared with untreated MSCs. The expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and heme oxygenase-1 was increased by FD treatment, and nuclear translocation of NRF2 was found exclusively in FD-MSCs. FD downregulated BAX expression, increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced reactive oxygen species generation, and decreased the apoptotic death of MSCs induced by oxidative stress. Moreover, renal function and tubular injury were improved in FD-MSCs compared with non-treated MSCs. Furthermore, tubular injury, apoptosis, and macrophage infiltration, as well as the serum level of tumor necrosis factor-α were reduced, while tubular cell proliferation was markedly increased in FD-MSCs compared with MSCs. Our study demonstrated that FD increases the survivability of MSCs in an oxidative environment, and its use may be effective in preparing robust therapeutic MSCs.

Sinapic Acid Attenuated Cisplatin-Induced Cardiotoxicity by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and İnflammation with GPX4-Mediated NF-kB Modulation. Cardiovasc Toxicol 2023; 23:10-22.

Abstract
The use of cisplatin is severely limited by the risk of developing cardiovascular complications. Sinapic acid may reduce cisplatin's side effects. The anti oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and peroxynitrite-scavenging properties of sinapic acid could provide protection against the cardiotoxicity caused by cisplatin. To induce toxicity in rats, cisplatin was administered for a period of 5 weeks. Animal electrocardiograms were obtained after cisplatin toxicity had taken effect. Blood samples and heart tissues were then harvested from the anesthetized animals. The ELISA technique was used to evaluate the level of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative and nitrosative stress indicators in the heart tissue and serum. A real-time PCR was used to analyze GPX4 and NF-κB expression in the heart tissue. Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome were also utilized. Electrocardiograms data showed an increase in QRS and QT intervals. Biochemically, cisplatin increased oxidative, nitrosative, and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Animals exposed to cisplatin had histopathological findings in the heart tissue, according to the results of histological assessment. Sinapic acid reduced TNF-alpha, interleukin-6, malondialdehyde, and ischemia-modified albumin. Sinapic acid also reduced oxidative and nitrosative stress. Furthermore, Sinapic acid restored lengthy QT and QRS. Cisplatin-treated rats had higher NF-κB activation than controls. This effect was successfully inhibited by sinapic acid. Histopathologically, tissues treated with sinapic acid were less damaged than tissues treated with cisplatin. In conclusion, our results suggest that sinapic acid exhibited a protective effect against the cardiotoxicity induced by cisplatin. These effects may be caused by the overexpression of GPX4 and the downregulation of NF-KB, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
The efficacy of cisplatin in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer is limited mainly because of insensitivity and/or acquired resistance. MAPK15, previously shown by us to enhance the sensitivity of the anti-cancer drug arsenic trioxide, could also enhance the sensitivity of other anti-cancer drugs. Here, we explore the potential role of MAPK15 in chemosensitivity to cisplatin in human lung cancer cells. Our results indicated that the expression level of MAPK15 was positively correlated with cisplatin sensitivity through affecting the DNA repair capacity of cisplatin-treated cells. The expression of MAPK15 was transcriptionally regulated by the TNF-α-activated NF-κB signaling pathway, and TNF-α synergized with cisplatin, in a MAPK15-dependent manner, to exert cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, levels of TNF-α dictate the responsiveness/sensitivity of lung cancer cells to cisplatin by transcriptionally upregulating MAPK15 to enhance chemosensitivity, suggesting manipulation of MAPK15 as a strategy to improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Revisiting the Anti-Cancer Toxicity of Clinically Approved Platinating Derivatives. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315410.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin (CP), and oxaliplatin (OXP) are three platinating agents clinically approved worldwide for use against a variety of cancers. They are canonically known as DNA damage inducers; however, that is only one of their mechanisms of cytotoxicity. CDDP mediates its effects through DNA damage-induced transcription inhibition and apoptotic signalling. In addition, CDDP targets the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to induce ER stress, the mitochondria via mitochondrial DNA damage leading to ROS production, and the plasma membrane and cytoskeletal components. CP acts in a similar fashion to CDDP by inducing DNA damage, mitochondrial damage, and ER stress. Additionally, CP is also able to upregulate micro-RNA activity, enhancing intrinsic apoptosis. OXP, on the other hand, at first induces damage to all the same targets as CDDP and CP, yet it is also capable of inducing immunogenic cell death via ER stress and can decrease ribosome biogenesis through its nucleolar effects. In this comprehensive review, we provide detailed mechanisms of action for the three platinating agents, going beyond their nuclear effects to include their cytoplasmic impact within cancer cells. In addition, we cover their current clinical use and limitations, including side effects and mechanisms of resistance.

Protective Effects of Orexin A in a Murine Model of Cisplatin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237196.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the treatment of various cancers, but its application is often limited due to complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that modulate the sleep-wake cycle, neuroendocrine function, and the autonomic nervous system. Emerging evidence suggests that orexin A (OXA) has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in animal models of neuroinflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. However, the effect of OXA on kidney diseases has not been examined. Here, we investigated whether OXA has a protective effect in a murine model of cisplatin-induced AKI. Intraperitoneal administration of OXA ameliorated renal dysfunction, and histological abnormalities in mice injected with cisplatin. OXA inhibited cisplatin-induced oxidative stress through the modulation of prooxidant and antioxidant enzymes. This peptide reduced apoptotic cell death by inhibiting the p53-mediated pathway in mice injected with cisplatin. OXA also alleviated cisplatin-induced cytokine production and macrophage infiltration into injured kidneys. Taken together, these results showed that OXA ameliorates cisplatin-induced AKI via antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory actions. This peptide could be a potential therapeutic agent for cisplatin-induced AKI.

7-hydroxycoumarin modulates Nrf2/HO-1 and microRNA-34a/SIRT1 signaling and prevents cisplatin-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and kidney injury in rats. Life Sci 2022; 310:121104. [PMID: 36270424 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.121104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The kidneys are vulnerable to toxicity and acute kidney injury (AKI) is the main adverse effect associated with the clinical use of the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin (CIS). Oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated in CIS nephrotoxicity. In this study, the effect of the antioxidant 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) against CIS-induced renal intoxication was evaluated. Rats received 7-HC (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) orally for 14 days and CIS (7 mg/kg) at day 15, and samples were collected 3 days after CIS administration. CIS increased serum urea, creatinine and kidney injury molecule (Kim)-1, caused multiple histopathological changes and increased renal reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), NF-κB p65, iNOS, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. 7-HC dose-dependently prevented kidney dysfunction and tissue injury and suppressed ROS and inflammatory mediators. 7-HC boosted renal antioxidants and Bcl-2 while decreased Bax and caspase-3 expression in CIS-administered rats. In addition, 7-HC downregulated Keap-1 and microRNA-34a and upregulated Nrf2, NQO-1, HO-1, and SIRT1. Molecular docking revealed the binding affinity of 7-HC towards NF-κB, Keap-1, and SIRT1. In Conclusion, 7-HC prevented CIS nephrotoxicity by attenuating tissue injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptotic cell death. The protective efficacy of 7-HC was associated with inhibiting NF-κB and Keap-1, and modulating Nrf2/HO-1 and microRNA34a/Sirt1 signaling.

Abstract
AIM The present study investigated the potential protective effect of a selective Cannabinoid-2 (CB2) receptor agonist, 1-phenylisatin, in acute nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animals were arranged into 5 groups. Group I; normal saline, group II; 1-phenylisatin for 7 days, group III: received a single injection of cisplatin (20 mg/kg, i.p.) on day 5, group IV: 1-phenylisatin for 7 days and cisplatin on day 5 and group V: AM630, CB2 antagonist, 15 min before 1-phenylisatin for 7 days and a single injection of cisplatin on day 5. Mice were sacrificed 72 h after cisplatin injection. Kidneys were isolated for histopathological and biochemical analyses. Nephrotoxicity parameters including serum creatinine and urea were assessed as well as histopathological examination was done. Also, Oxidative stress markers; MDA and GSH, inflammatory markers; TNF-α, NF-κB (p65), MCP-1, MIP-2, and ICAM-1, along with apoptotic markers, Bax, Bcl2, and caspase-3 were studied. Further, CB2 receptor expression was investigated. KEY FINDINGS Cisplatin injection increased serum creatinine and urea levels, and increased lipid peroxidation, decreased glutathione level and increased the renal expression of pro-inflammatory markers, TNF-α, NF-κB, MCP-1, MIP-2, and ICAM-1, along with increased apoptotic markers and significantly reduced the expression of the anti-apoptotic Bcl2. Pretreatment with 1-phenylisatin significantly counteracted these effects. The CB2 receptor antagonist; AM630, increased the renal expression of caspase-3 and Bax whereas Bcl2 expression decreased. SIGNIFICANCE 1-Phenylisatin protected against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity owing to its anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. These actions were mostly mediated through CB2 receptor.

Abstract
Kidney diseases are major health problem and understanding the underlined mechanisms that lead to kidney diseases are critical research points with a marked potential impact on health. Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that occurs naturally and can be found in contaminated food. Kidneys are the most susceptible organ to heavy metal intoxication as it is the main route of waste excretion. The harmful effects of Cd were previously well proved. Cd induces inflammatory responses, oxidative injury, mitochondrial dysfunction and disturbs Ca2+ homeostasis. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a cellular transcription factor that regulates inflammation and controls the expression of many inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, great therapeutic benefits can be attained from NF-κB inhibition. In this review we focused on certain compounds including cytochalasin D, mangiferin, N-acetylcysteine, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, roflumilast, rosmarinic acid, sildenafil, sinapic acid, telmisartan and wogonin and certain plants as Astragalus Polysaccharide, Ginkgo Biloba and Thymus serrulatus that potently inhibit NF-κB and effectively counteracted Cd-associated renal intoxication. In conclusion, the proposed NF-κB involvement in Cd-renal intoxication clarified the underlined inflammation associated with Cd-nephropathy and the beneficial effects of NF-κB inhibitors that make them the potential to substantially optimize treatment protocols for Cd-renal intoxication.

Abstract
Signaling pathways of regulated necrosis, such as necroptosis and ferroptosis, contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI), but the role of pyroptosis is unclear. Pyroptosis is mediated by the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD). Here, we report a specific pattern of GSDMD-protein expression in the peritubular compartment of mice that underwent bilateral ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). Along similar lines, the GSDMD-protein expression in whole kidney lysates increased during the first 84 h following cisplatin-induced AKI. Importantly, unlike whole kidney lysates, no GSDMD-protein expression was detectable in isolated kidney tubules. In IRI and cisplatin-induced AKI, GSDMD-deficient mice exhibited hypersensitivity to injury as assessed by tubular damage, elevated markers of serum urea, and serum creatinine. This hypersensitivity was reversed by a combined deficiency of GSDMD and the necroptosis mediator mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). In conclusion, we demonstrate a non-cell autonomous role for GSDMD in protecting the tubular compartment from necroptosis-mediated damage in IRI.

Abstract
Over the years, many researches have shown the potential protective effects of ginseng for preventing and treating neurological damage and their related diseases. Neuronal disturbance is one of the most common serious effects of cisplatin chemotherapy that triggers memory impairment and cognitive disability. Based on the hypothesis that mechanistic pathways of ginseng against the neurological and biochemical disturbance remain unclear, therefore, this study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of ginseng extract against neurological and behavior abnormality induced by cisplatin in male rats. Animals were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 served as a control, group 2 was orally administrated with ginseng (100 mg/kg BW) daily for 90 days, group 3 was injected intraperitoneally with cisplatin (4 mg/kg BW) once a week for 90 days, and group 4 received ginseng and cisplatin. Cisplatin induced a learning and memory dysfunction in the Morris water maze task and locomotor disability in the rotarod test. In addition, cisplatin disrupted the oxidant/antioxidant systems, neuroinflammatory molecules (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12, and IL-1β), neurotransmitters, and apoptotic (caspase-3, P53, and Bax) and dementia markers (amyloid-β40 and amyloid-β 42). Co-treatment with ginseng extracts successfully ameliorated the cognitive behaviors and intramuscular strength and presented a good protective agent against neurological damage. Histopathological and histochemical studies proved the neuroprotective effect of ginseng. Our data showed that ginseng capable to counteract the memory dysfunction is induced by cisplatin via reducing oxidative stress and neuroinflammation restoring the neurological efficiency.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an important chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of solid tumors but often causes nephropathy as part of the off-target toxicity. Iron accumulation and related damage were implicated in cisplatin-induced kidney injury. However, the role of cisplatin in the renal iron sensing mechanism and its target genes responsible for iron uptake, storage, and release have not been investigated. Cellular iron homeostasis is controlled by the interaction of iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2) and iron-responsive elements (IREs) present in the untranslated regions of iron transport and storage components. Here, we report that cisplatin does not influence the expressions of IRP targets such as transferrin receptor-1 (TfR1), divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT1), and ferroportin in renal cells despite the increased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) level. Ferritin subunits (Ft-H and Ft-L) are elevated in different magnitudes due to the increased mRNA expression. Intriguingly, a higher expression of Ft-L mRNA is detected than that of Ft-H mRNA. The inability of cisplatin in altering the IRE-IRP interaction is confirmed by examining IRE-containing luciferase activity, RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and activation of IRPs. The labile iron pool is depleted but reversed by silencing of either Ft-H or Ft-L, suggesting increased iron storage by ferritin. Silencing of Ft-H or Ft-L promotes cell death, suggesting that ferritin acts to protect the renal cells from cisplatin-mediated toxicity. A differential increase of transcripts and equivalent increase of proteins of Ft-H and Ft-L and unaltered TfR1 and DMT1 transcripts are found in the kidneys of cisplatin-treated rats along with iron accumulation. Our results reveal that cisplatin does not influence the IRE-IRP interaction despite alteration of the cellular iron pool in renal cells. This insensitivity of the IRE-IRP system may be implicated in the accumulation of iron to contribute to cisplatin-induced nephropathy.

Nephroprotective effect of exercise training in cisplatin-induced renal damage in mice: influence of training protocol. Braz J Med Biol Res 2022; 55:e12116.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective antineoplastic agent, but its use is limited by its nephrotoxicity caused by the oxidative stress in tubular epithelium of nephrons. On the other hand, regular exercise provides beneficial adaptations in different tissues and organs. As with many drugs, dosing is extremely important to get the beneficial effects of exercise. Thus, we aimed to investigate the influence of exercise intensity and frequency on cisplatin-induced (20 mg/kg) renal damage in mice. Forty male Swiss mice were divided into five experimental groups (n=8 per group): 1) sedentary; 2) low-intensity forced swimming, three times per week; 3) high-intensity forced swimming, three times per week; 4) low-intensity forced swimming, five times per week; and 5) high-intensity forced swimming, five times per week. Body composition, renal structure, functional indicators (plasma urea), lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activity, expression of genes related to antioxidant defense, and inflammatory and apoptotic pathways were evaluated. Comparisons considered exercise intensity and frequency. High lipid peroxidation was observed in the sedentary group compared with trained mice, regardless of exercise intensity and frequency. Groups that trained three times per week showed more benefits, as reduced tubular necrosis, plasma urea, expression of CASP3 and Rela (NFkB subunit-p65) genes, and increased total glutathione peroxidase activity. No significant difference in Nfe2l2 (Nrf2) gene expression was observed between groups. Eight weeks of regular exercise training promoted nephroprotection against cisplatin-mediated oxidative injury. Exercise frequency was critical for nephroprotection.

Abstract
Therapeutic experiments are commonly performed on laboratory animals to investigate the possible mechanism(s) of action of toxic agents as well as drugs or substances under consideration. The use of toxins in laboratory animal models, including rats, is intended to cause toxicity. This study aimed to investigate different models of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in laboratory animals to help researchers advance their research goals. The current narrative review used databases such as Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase and appropriate keywords until June 2021. Nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity models derived from some toxic agents such as cisplatin, acetaminophen, doxorubicin, some anticancer drugs, and other materials through various signaling pathways are investigated. To understand the models of renal or hepatotoxicity in laboratory animals, we have provided a list of toxic agents and their toxicity procedures in this review.

Abstract
Objective Our previous research showed that TCR+CD4-CD8-double-negative (DN) T cells protect renal epithelial cells from cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, this study is aimed at investigating the mechanism underlying the effect of DN T cells against Cis-induced AKI. Methods HK-2 cells cultured alone or with DN T cells were treated with or without Cis. After treatment, the cell viability and death were analyzed by a CCK-8 kit and flow cytometric assay with Annexin V/PI staining, respectively. The expressions of inflammatory factors in HK-2 and DN T cells were analyzed using qPCR. The expression levels of nephrotoxicity-associated biomarkers (KIM, calbindin, and TIMP-1), Bcl-2, and angiotensin AT2 receptor (AT2R) were determined by Western blot and qPCR. Results The administration of cisplatin significantly decreased the cell viability and AT2R expression, and increased cell death, inflammatory factors, and nephrotoxicity-associated biomarkers of HK-2 cells, while these effects were partly attenuated when cocultured with DN T cells. IL-10 expression was significantly increased in DN T cells after coculture, and cisplatin treatment aggravated this elevation. IL-10 supplementation exhibited a similar effect to coculture, whereas anti-IL-10 antibody reversed the effect of coculture on cisplatin-treated HK-2 cells. Finally, PD123319, an AT2R antagonist, also reversed the effect of IL-10 and coculture on the cell viability, death, and the expression of KIM, calbindin, TIMP-1, and Bcl-2 of cisplatin-treated HK-2 cells. Conclusions DN T cells protected HK-2 cells from cisplatin-induced injury through IL-10/AT2R axis, which may act as a potential target for the treatment of cisplatin-induced AKI.

Abstract
Humans are continuously exposed to environmental, occupational, consumer and household products, food, and pharmaceutical substances. Luteolin, a flavone from the flavonoids family of compounds, is found in different fruits and vegetables. LUT is a strong anti-inflammatory (via inhibition of NF-κB, ERK1/2, MAPK, JNK, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α) and antioxidant agent (reducing ROS and enhancement of endogenous antioxidants). LUT can chelate transition metal ions responsible for ROS generation and consequently repress lipoxygenase. It has been proven that NF-κB, as a commom cellular pathway plays a considerable role in the progression of inflammatory process and stimulates the expression of genes encoding inducible pro-inflammatory enzymes (iNOS and COX-2) and cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. This review summarizes the available literature discussing LUT and its potential protective role against pharmaceuticals-, metals-, and environmental compounds-induced toxicities. Furthermore, the review explains the involved protective mechanisms, especially inhibition of the NF-κB pathway.
