Jiang H, Hong Y, Fan G. Bismuth Reduces Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity Via Enhancing Glutathione Conjugation and Vesicular Transport. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:887876.

Abstract
Bismuth drugs have long been used against gastrointestinal diseases, especially the gastric infection of Helicobacter pylori. Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug that tends to accumulate at renal proximal tubules and causes severe nephrotoxicity. It was found that bismuth pretreatment reduces cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, but the mechanism of action remains unclear. To understand bismuth’s effect on renal tubules, we profiled the proteomic changes in human proximal tubular cells (HK-2) upon bismuth treatment. We found that bismuth induced massive glutathione biosynthesis, glutathione S-transferase activity, and vesicular transportation, which compartmentalizes bismuth to the vesicles and forms bismuth–sulfur nanoparticles. The timing of glutathione induction concurs that of bismuth-induced cisplatin toxicity mitigation in HK-2, and bismuth enhanced cisplatin sequestration to vesicles and incorporation into bismuth–sulfur nanoparticles. Finally, we found that bismuth mitigates the toxicity of general soft metal compounds but not hard metal compounds or oxidants. It suggests that instead of through oxidative stress reduction, bismuth reduces cisplatin-induced toxicity by direct sequestration.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) has been a highly successful anticancer drug in cancer therapy; however, its further application suffers severe nephrotoxicity. Herein, we identify bismuth tetraphenylporphyrinate [Bi(TPP)] as a potent protective agent against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity. Bi(TPP) attenuates CDDP-induced acute kidney injury and prevents the death of mice exposed to a lethal dose of CDDP. The protective potency of bismuth porphyrin complexes could be optimized by varying lipophilic TPP ligands with ideal ClogP values of 8–14. Unexpectedly, Bi(TPP) exhibited a protective role via metallothionein-independent pathways, i.e., maintenance of redox homeostasis and energy supplement, elimination of accumulated platinum in the kidney, and inactivation of caspases cascade in apoptotic pathway. Significantly, Bi(TPP) does not compromise the antitumor activity of CDDP in the orthotopic tumor xenograft mouse model. These findings suggest that Bi(TPP) could be incorporated into current CDDP-based cancer therapy as a nephroprotective agent. Bi(TPP), a potent nephroprotectant against cisplatin-induced toxicity, is disclosed Protective potency of Bi(TPP) could be modulated by varying lipophilic TPP ligands Bi(TPP) ameliorates cisplatin-induced renal damage via multiple mechanisms Combined therapy with Bi(TPP) does not compromise the antitumor efficacy of cisplatin

Abstract
ESI-MS along with cysteine modification show that the binding of Bi3+ to apo-metallothionein is non-cooperative with a coordination of BiS(cys)3 up to Bi6MT. Stopped flow kinetics reveal that the rate of binding depends on the pH and the Bi3+ anion.

Abstract
Kidney is a target organ for heavy metals. They accumulate in several segments of the nephron and cause profound alterations in morphology and function. Acute intoxication frequently causes acute renal failure. The effects of chronic exposure have not been fully disclosed. In recent years increasing awareness of the consequences of their presence in the kidney has evolved. In this review we focus on the alterations induced by heavy metals on the intercellular junctions of the kidney. We describe that in addition to the proximal tubule, which has been recognized as the main site of accumulation and injury, other segments of the nephron, such as glomeruli, vessels, and distal nephron, show also deleterious effects. We also emphasize the participation of oxidative stress as a relevant component of the renal damage induced by heavy metals and the beneficial effect that some antioxidant drugs, such as vitamin A (all-trans-retinoic acid) and vitamin E (α-tocopherol), depict on the morphological and functional alterations induced by heavy metals.

Abstract
This paper describes in vitro cytotoxicity of bismuth nanoparticles revealed by three complementary assays (MTT, G6PD, and calcein AM/EthD-1). The results show that bismuth nanoparticles are more toxic than most previously reported bismuth compounds. Concentration dependent cytotoxicities have been observed for bismuth nanoparticles and surface modified bismuth nanoparticles. The bismuth nanoparticles are non-toxic at concentration of 0.5 nM. Nanoparticles at high concentration (50 nM) kill 45, 52, 41, 34 % HeLa cells for bare nanoparticles, amine terminated bismuth nanoparticles, silica coated bismuth nanoparticles, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified bismuth nanoparticles, respectively; which indicates cytotoxicity in terms of cell viability is in the descending order of amine terminated bismuth nanoparticles, bare bismuth nanoparticles, silica coated bismuth nanoparticles, and PEG modified bismuth nanoparticles. HeLa cells are more susceptible to toxicity from bismuth nanoparticles than MG-63 cells. The simultaneous use of three toxicity assays provides information on how nanoparticles interact with cells. Silica coated bismuth nanoparticles can damage cellular membrane yet keep mitochondria less influenced; while amine terminated bismuth nanoparticles can affect the metabolic functions of cells. The findings have important implications for caution of nanoparticle exposure and evaluating toxicity of bismuth nanoparticles.

Abstract
To assess effects of carbon nanoparticle (CNP) exposure on renal epithelial cells, fullerenes (C(60)), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were incubated with a confluent renal epithelial line for 48 h. At low concentrations, CNP-treated cells exhibited significant decreases in transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) but no changes in hormone-stimulated ion transport or CNP-induced toxicity or stress responses as measured by lactate dehydrogenase or cytokine release. The changes in TEER, manifested as an inverse relationship with CNP concentration, were mirrored by an inverse correlation between dose and changes in protein expression. Lower, more physiologically relevant, concentrations of CNP have the most profound effects on barrier cell function and protein expression. These results indicate an impact of CNPs on renal epithelial cells at concentrations lower than have been previously studied and suggest caution with regard to increasing CNP levels entering the food chain due to increasing environmental pollution.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important clinical issue and a serious public health risk. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for clinical diagnosis and management of different ADRs. Toxicogenomics can reveal impacts on biological pathways and processes that had not previously been considered to be involved in a drug response. Mechanistic hypotheses can be generated that can then be experimentally tested using the full arsenal of pharmacology, toxicology, molecular biology and genetics. Recent transcriptomic studies on drug-induced toxicity, which have provided valuable mechanistic insights into various ADRs, have been reviewed with a focus on nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Related issues have been discussed, including extrapolation of mechanistic findings from experimental model systems to humans using blood as a surrogate tissue for organ damage and comparative systems biology approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is a major antineoplastic drug for the treatment of solid tumors, but it has dose-dependent renal toxicity. METHODS We reviewed clinical and experimental literature on cisplatin nephrotoxicity to identify new information on the mechanism of injury and potential approaches to prevention and/or treatment. RESULTS Unbound cisplatin is freely filtered at the glomerulus and taken up into renal tubular cells mainly by a transport-mediated process. The drug is at least partially metabolized into toxic species. Cisplatin has multiple intracellular effects, including regulating genes, causing direct cytotoxicity with reactive oxygen species, activating mitogen-activated protein kinases, inducing apoptosis, and stimulating inflammation and fibrogenesis. These events cause tubular damage and tubular dysfunction with sodium, potassium, and magnesium wasting. Most patients have a reversible decrease in glomerular filtration, but some have an irreversible decrease in glomerular filtration. Volume expansion and saline diuresis remain the most effective preventive strategies. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the mechanisms of injury has led to multiple approaches to prevention. Furthermore, the experimental approaches in these studies with cisplatin are potentially applicable to other drugs causing renal dysfunction.

Abstract
An enormous amount of data has been generated in kidney research using transcriptome analysis techniques. In this review article, we first describe briefly the principles and major characteristics of several of these techniques. We then summarize the progress in kidney research that has been made by using transcriptome analysis, emphasizing the experience gained and the lessons learned. Several technical issues regarding DNA microarray are highlighted because of the rapidly increased use of this technology. It appears clear from this brief survey that transcriptome analysis is an effective and important tool for question-driven exploratory science. To further enhance the power of this and other high throughput, as well as conventional approaches, in future studies of the kidney, we propose a multidimensional systems biology paradigm that integrates investigation at multiple levels of biologic regulation toward the goal of achieving a global understanding of physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of bismuth by autometallography, cell viability, TUNEL assay and microarray analysis of a macrophage cell line. The cells accumulate bismuth in their lysosomes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Cell viability assays show a significant decrease in the number of viable cells related to both bismuth concentrations and exposure time. TUNEL assays after 12 h and 24 h at a bismuth-citrate concentration of 50 microM revealed the presence of 30% and 70% TUNEL-positive cells, respectively, compared with 8% in the controls. We have analysed gene expression profiles for cells exposed to 50 microM bismuth-citrate and for untreated controls at 12 h and 24 h by microarray analysis, which confirmed that bismuth is a powerful metallothionein inducer. A number of glycolytic enzymes are induced by bismuth, suggesting that bismuth is able to induce "hypoxia-like" stress. BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (Bnip3) has been suggested as a regulator of hypoxia-induced cell death independent of caspase-3 activation and cytochrome c release. Bnip3 is up-regulated indicating the involvement of Bnip3 as a possible mechanism for bismuth-induced cell death. Differences have been noticed in cell viability and in the modification of the mRNA expression levels at 12 and 24 h. Only 13 genes are modified at both these times, suggesting a time-dependent molecular cascade in which bismuth-exposed cells enter a dormant stage with mRNA down-regulation being followed by cell death of susceptible cells.
