Abstract
BACKGROUND Although studies aiming to increase fat graft survival continue, in this study, the authors aimed to investigate the effects of different antioxidants on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and their effect on graft survival. METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four equally sized groups, including a control group and three antioxidant groups receiving either melatonin (10 mg/kg), zinc (2 mg/kg), or vitamins E and C (100 mg/kg). Autologous fat grafts (1.7 ± 0.4 g) were transferred to the dorsal subcutaneous region, and total antioxidant capacity was measured on days 0 and 1, week 1, and monthly until the third month. Transferred graft volume and mass (1.3 ± 0.4 g) were measured using the liquid overflow method and precision scales at the end of the study. Routine hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry against perilipin were performed for semiqualitative analysis and H-score for viable adipose cells, respectively. RESULTS Collected fat grafts measured significantly less in weight and volume and the survival rate was lower in the control group ( P < 0.01). The control group exhibited a reduction in TAC, whereas all groups receiving antioxidants had an increase in TAC during the first week ( P = 0.02, P = 0.008, and P = 0.004 for melatonin, zinc, and vitamins, respectively). Immunohistochemistry of the antioxidant group demonstrated a statistically significant excess and reactivity of cells staining with perilipin antibodies. CONCLUSION In this animal study, the beneficial effect of antioxidants on fat graft survival can be related to the significant increase in TAC following the first week of their administration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Antioxidants improve fat graft survival and quality in this rat model, by increasing total antioxidant capacity in the first week of administration.

Xu B, Zheng J, Tian X, Yuan F, Liu Z, Zhou Y, Yang Z, Ding X. Protective mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine guizhi fuling pills against carbon tetrachloride-induced kidney damage is through inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation and regulating the intestinal flora. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 101:154129. [PMID: 35490491 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemical or drug-induced kidney damage has been recognized as a critical cause of kidney failure. The oxidative stress, inflammation, and imbalance of intestinal flora caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) play a fundamental role in chronic kidney damage. Guizhi Fuling pills (GZFL) is a traditional formula consisting of five traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, which can promote blood circulation and improve kidney function. The underlying mechanisms of GZFL improving kidney damage are not fully understood yet. AIM The current study aimed to explore the effects of GZFL on CCl4-induced kidney damage and intestinal microbiota in mice. METHODS Male ICR mice were intraperitoneally administered with 20% CCl4 (mixed in a ratio of 1:4 in soybean oil) twice a week, for 4 weeks to induce kidney damage. Creatinine (CRE), urea nitrogen, antioxidant enzymes, and inflammatory cytokines were measured and the histology of the kidney, jejunum, and colon examination to assess kidney and intestinal damage. The expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) family members, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in kidney tissues, and the tight junction proteins in colonic tissues were detected by Western blot. The gut microbiota was analyzed through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. RESULTS GZFL treatment decreased the serum CRE and urea nitrogen levels. Moreover, GZFL reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased antioxidant enzyme activities in kidney and colonic tissues. GZFL improved the kidney, jejunum, and colon histology. Furthermore, GZFL inhibited the expressions of NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved-Caspase-1, while Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, GCLM, and tight junction proteins were increased. The dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota improved after GZFL treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that GZFL could improve kidney damage, which might be mainly via the integrated regulations of the Nrf2 pathway, NLRP3 inflammasome, and composition of intestinal microbiota.

The Effects of Satureja hortensis L. Extract on Cisplatin-Induced Behavioral Alterations in the Tail Suspension Test. SERBIAN JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL RESEARCH 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
In order to evaluate the effects of Satureja hortensis L. extract on cisplatin-induced behavioral alterations in the tail suspension test (TST), we included 35 male Wistar albino rats in this study, divided into 7 equal groups. Cisplatin was administered (single dose of 7.5 mg/kg, i.p., on the fifth day) alone, and in groups with orally administered (for 10 days) Satureja hortensis L. extract (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg), and silymarin (100 mg/kg) in individual groups. The behavioral testing was performed in TST, and the following parameters were obtained: the latency to the first immobility, the number of immobility episodes, and the total duration of immobility. Cisplatin application increased the latency to the first immobility, but decreased the number of immobility episodes and the total duration of immobility. Oral administration of Satureja hortensis L. extract in a dose of 100 mg/kg attenuated cisplatin-induced alterations, and those effects were similar to silymarin group. The extract in a dose of 200 mg/kg diminished cisplatin-induced effect only for the total duration of immobility, while in a dose of 50 mg/kg, the extract had no impact on cisplatin effects. Although common use of this methodology would lead to a conclusion that cisplatin produced antidepressant effect, comparison with certain literature data allows the conclusion that this action of cisplatin may be attributed to its anxiogenic action that was attenuated by antioxidant supplementation (Satureja hortensis L.) in an adequate dose (100 mg/kg).

Regression Modeling of the Antioxidant-to-Nephroprotective Relation Shows the Pivotal Role of Oxidative Stress in Cisplatin Nephrotoxicity. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10091355. [PMID: 34572987 PMCID: PMC8464812 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10091355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The clinical utility of the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin is significantly limited by its nephrotoxicity, which is characterized by electrolytic disorders, glomerular filtration rate decline, and azotemia. These alterations are consequences of a primary tubulopathy causing injury to proximal and distal epithelial cells, and thus tubular dysfunction. Oxidative stress plays a role in cisplatin nephrotoxicity and cytotoxicity, but its relative contribution to overall toxicity remains unknown. We studied the relation between the degree of oxidative reduction (provided by antioxidant treatment) and the extent of nephrotoxicity amelioration (i.e., nephroprotection) by means of a regression analysis of studies in animal models. Our results indicate that a linear relation exists between these two parameters, and that this relation very nearly crosses the value of maximal nephroprotection at maximal antioxidant effect, suggesting that oxidative stress seems to be a pivotal and mandatory mechanism of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, and, hence, an interesting, rationale-based target for clinical use. Our model also serves to identify antioxidants with enhanced effectiveness by comparing their actual nephroprotective power with that predicted by their antioxidant effect. Among those, this study identified nanoceria, erythropoietin, and maltol as highly effective candidates affording more nephroprotection than expected from their antioxidant effect for prospective clinical development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is one of the most common chemotherapeutic drugs. Cisplatin-induced toxicity gives rise to gastrointestinal cell damage, subsequent diarrhea and vomiting, leading to the discontinuation of its clinical application in long-term cancer chemotherapy. Panax quinquefolium L., also known as American ginseng, has many pharmacological activities such as improving immunity, anti-tumor, anti-radiation and blood sugar lowering. PURPOSE Previously, our laboratory reported that American ginseng berry extract could alleviate chemotherapeutic agents-induced renal damage caused by cisplatin. Hence, this study further explored the protective effect of P. quinquefolium saponins (PQS) on cisplatin-induced intestinal injury in mice and the possible molecular mechanisms. METHODS Biochemical markers, levels of inflammatory factors, histopathological staining and western blotting were used to analyze intestinal injury based on various molecular mechanisms. RESULTS We demonstrated the destruction of the intestinal barrier caused by cisplatin exposure by detecting the activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) and the expression of tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin. Meanwhile, cisplatin exposure changed SOD and MDA levels in the small intestine, causing oxidative damage to the intestinal mucosa. The inflammation associated-intestinal damage was further explored by the measurement of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and analysis of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inflammatory pathway protein expression. Moreover, apoptotic cells labeled with TUNEL staining-positive cells and activated caspase family proteins suggest that cisplatin induces intestinal apoptosis. Interestingly, PQS pretreatment significantly reversed these situations. CONCLUSION These evidences clearly suggest that PQS can alleviate cisplatin-induced intestinal damage by inhibiting oxidative stress, reducing the occurrence of inflammation and apoptosis, and improving intestinal barrier function.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a standard anticancer agent exerting devastating effects as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to increase the clinical use of DOX through decreasing its detrimental effects via combination with ACE inhibitors to ameliorate the induced acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI was induced by a single injection of DOX (7.5 mg/kg; i.p.) as Group 1; control (vehicle), Group 2; DOX (7.5 mg/kg; i.p.) single dose, Group 3 and 4; Lisinopril (Lis, 20 mg/kg) and Enalapril (Enal, 40 mg/kg) orally administration for 15 consecutive days after DOX injection, respectively. Serum samples were used to measure creatinine and BUN, tissue samples were extracted to determine myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and kidney injury molecule (KIM-1) using ELISA technique. Heme oxygenase (HO-1) RNA expression was quantified in tissue using real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Parts of the kidney tissue were kept in formalin for immunohistochemical demonstration of Cleaved Caspase-3 and NF-κβ immune staining and the other part was used for pathological examination. Oral treatment with Lis (20 mg/kg) and Enal (40 mg/kg) for 15 consecutive days reversed DOX effects as they reduced the serum creatinine and BUN, kidney levels of MPO and MDA, whereas the drugs increased tissue TAC. The administration of Lis and Enal with DOX also reduced KIM-1and HO-1 RNA expression. A significant decrease in cleaved caspase-3 and NF-κβ immunostainings in conjunction with pronounced amelioration in pathologies in the rat kidney were observed. We concluded that DOX adverse effects can be controlled by Lis and Enal.

Abstract
CP is one of the most widely used antineoplastic agents. However, its clinical application is very limited due to its severe toxic effects. The present study aimed to reveal the effects of NAC, which exhibits broad biological activities in reducing CP-induced liver damage, in consideration of biochemical, genetic, and histopathological findings. Twenty-eight wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven animals. A dose of saline was administered (i.p.) to the control group for 5 days. One dose of NAC (200 mg/kg) was administered to the NAC group for 5 days (i.p.). To the NAC + CP group, a dose of CP (7.5 mg/kg) was administered on days 2 and 5 of the experiment, a dose of NAC (200 mg/ kg) (i.p.) was administered for 5 day of the experiment. CP (7.5 mg/kg) was administered to the CP group on days 2 and 5 of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, the biochemical, histological, and mRNA expression analyses of the liver tissues isolated from all the rats were performed. A statistically significant decrease was observed in the AST and ALT enzyme activities in Group NAC + CP compared to Control and CP groups. In addition, it was determined that the NAC administration reduced CP-induced inflammation by increasing the level of NF-κB and decreased CP-caused oxidative stress by decreasing the GPx level. Moreover, the histopathological analyses showed that NAC improved liver morphology. It was revealed by Western blotting analysis that NAC promoted Bcl-2 signaling and decreased p53 signaling. The findings herein showed that NAC could help alleviate hepatotoxicity, a serious therapeutic complication, by reducing CP-induced oxidative stress and playing an effective part in the regulation of apoptotic markers.

Abstract
The history of metalloporphyrins dates back more than 200 years ago. Metalloporphyrins are excellent catalysts, capable of forming supramolecular systems, participate in oxygen photosynthesis, transport, and used as contrast agents or superoxide dismutase mimetics. Today, metalloporphyrins represent complexes of conjugated π-electron system and metals from the entire periodic system. However, the effect of these compounds on living systems has not been fully understood, and researchers are exploring the properties of metalloporphyrins thereby extending their further application. This review provides an overview of the variety of metalloporphyrins that are currently used in different medicine fields and how metalloporphyrins became the subject of scientists' interest. Currently, metalloporphyrins utilization has expanded significantly, which gave us an opprotunuty to summarize recent progress in metalloporphyrins derivatives and prospects of their application in the treatment and diagnosis of different diseases.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a cornerstone chemotherapeutic agent, however, its neurotoxicity is a chief cause of its limited usage. Linagliptin, which is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 enzyme inhibitor, has exhibited considerable neuroprotective potential. We aimed to evaluate the linagliptin modulatory effects on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, redox status, and apoptosis in CP-induced neurotoxicity. Thirty mice were allocated equally into the control group, Group II: CP group, and Group III: linagliptin treated CP group. All groups were subjected to the measurement of hippocampal messenger RNA gene expression of glucose-regulated protein-78 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α and cleaved caspase-3 levels were assessed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique while malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase activity were detected spectrophotometrically. Linagliptin ameliorated ER stress and enhanced antioxidant status with cognitive function improvement. Linagliptin may be considered a promising neuroprotective agent owing to its ability to reduce ER/oxidative stress.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of various types of solid tumors. Despite the dose-dependency of its antineoplastic effect, the high risk for nephrotoxicity frequently precludes the use of higher doses. α-Linolenic acid (ALA), a carboxylic acid having three cis double bonds, is an essential fatty acid required for health and can be acquired via foods that contain ALA or supplementation of foods high in ALA. Previous studies have shown that ALA demonstrates anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative effects. In this study, we show the protective effect of ALA on cisplatin-induced renal toxicity associated with oxidative stress in mice using biochemical parameters. The mice were randomly assigned into four experimental groups. Group 1 (control group) were administered physiological saline solution for 9 days; group 2 (ALA group) received 200 mg/kg alpha-linolenic acid via gavage for 9 days; group 3 (CIS group) received 100 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.) CIS for 9 days; and group 4 (ALA + CIS group) received 100 mg/kg i.p. CIS and followed by ALA 200 mg/kg via gavage for 9 days. Alpha-linolenic acid significantly reduced the expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the ALA + CIS group compared to the CIS group. Furthermore, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) quantities were significantly elevated in the ALA + CIS group when compared to the CIS group. ALA significantly decreased the levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, while significantly increasing the level of bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein, in the ALA + CIS group than in the CIS group. Finally, histopathological examination in renal tissue showed that the significant edematous damage induced by CIS administration alone was reduced in ALA + CIS group. In conclusion, our findings show that ALA is beneficial to CIS-induced nephrotoxicity in mice via its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Hypoxic cancer cells are more aggressive and responsible for more efficient metastasis and recurrence. It seems worth-while, hence, to supplement current cytostatic drugs therapy (i.e. cisplatin) with hypoxia cytotoxic agents (i.e. tirapazamine), the toxicity of which is activated by hypoxia. Cisplatin and tirapazamine can change a redox equilibrium and consequently lead to changes in cell metabolism, fibrosis and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cisplatin/tirapazamine toxicological synergism. In doing so we tested selected kidney oxidative stress parameters, as well as nephrotoxicity markers, in plasma and urine. Once a week for 6 weeks, rats received intraperitoneally two doses of tirapazamine (5 or 10 mg/kg bw), 2 hours before cisplatin (2 mg/kg bw) was applied. Our results show that Tirapazamine (TP) had no significant adverse effect on the redox balance, oxidative stress and kidney function in rats receiving cisplatin (CP). However, TP significantly increased protein concentration in the kidneys of rats. In all tested groups, a significant decrease in NADH concentration in kidneys was recorded, which could indicate disorder in the cell metabolism. TP also was found to have prevented bacterial infection caused by CP. In summary, there was no nephrotoxic synergy of TP with CP at an unacceptable level.

Abstract
Background: Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapy antineoplastic drugs. Panax ginseng is a well-known medicinal herb and has a long history of medicinal use as a tonic to promote health. Aim: This work aimed to study the effect of ginseng on the liver damage induced by cisplatin in rats. It included biochemical and histological investigations. Materials and Methods: Twenty adult rats were divided into four equal groups. Group I served as control. Group II received ginseng orally (100 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks. Group III animals were injected intraperitoneally with cisplatin in three equal doses (each 3.3 mg/kg) daily for 3 consecutive days. Group IV animals received ginseng together with cisplatin by the same previously mentioned methods and doses. Rats were sacrificed after 4 weeks, and blood samples and liver tissues were collected for biochemical and histological examinations. Results: Cisplatin-induced liver damage manifested biochemically by an increase in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Histologically, hepatocytes appeared with vacuolated cytoplasm and small dark-stained nuclei with dilatation of blood sinusoids as well as marked accumulation of collagen fibers around enlarged portal tracts. Administration of ginseng together with cisplatin improved the hepatic dysfunctions and damage caused by cisplatin. Conclusion: Ginseng has a protective role in the amelioration of cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cisplatin is one of the widely used antitumour agents with major clinical side effect, nephrotoxicity. We showed the role of iron in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity that entrance to the cell via transferrin receptor (TfR) as a gatekeeper for iron uptake. We also examined the effect of iron chelator deferiprone against this toxicity. METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group I (saline orally for 10 days); group II (saline orally for 10 days plus single injection of cisplatin 7 mg/kg, intraperitoneally on 5th day); groups III, IV and V (deferiprone 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg orally for 10 days, respectively, plus cisplatin on 5th day). Group VI (deferiprone, orally). RESULTS Deferiprone provided functional and significant histological-proven protection in group IV. Deferiprone attenuated the increased creatinine, BUN, malondialdehyde and iron concentrations in cisplatin-injected animals. The increased amounts of TfR and decreased levels of HIF-1α and related anti-apoptotic genes expression in cisplatin-treated animals were improved by deferiprone. CONCLUSIONS The results supported a role for iron in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and TfR may serve as an important source of iron. Based on these findings, deferiprone pretreatment may play a role in preventing cisplatin-induced nephropathy in cancer patient.

Abstract
Abstract
Taken into consideration that molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in cardiotoxicity are still not clear the aim of this study was to compare the production of oxidative stress parameters in the isolated rat heart between animals chronically treated with cisplatin and saline. The hearts of male Wistar albino rats (n = 24, 12 per group, age 8 weeks, body mass 250±50 g) were excised and perfused according to the Langendorff technique at gradually increased coronary perfusion pressures (40-120 cm H2O). We followed the production of superoxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrites and also index of lipid peroxidation during the changes of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) (from 40 to 120 cm H2O) in coronary venous effluent. Modifications CPP were performed in order to determined if oxidative stress is involved in coronary endothelium response in conditions of hypoxia (lower than 60 cm H2O) and hyperoxia (higher than 80 cm H2O).
Based on the results of this research we can conclude that with enhancement of CPP the values of oxidative stress statistically increased. However, this increment is more prominent in control group as a result of preserved endothelium and its more powerful response to hyperoxia. On the other hand, damaged endothelium of cisplatin-treated animals had weaker response to hyperoxia, and also lower antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
Cisplatin is currently one of the most widely-used chemotherapeutic agents against various malignancies. Its clinical application is limited, however, by inherent renal and cardiac toxicities and other side effects, of which the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. Experimental studies show cisplatin generates reactive oxygen species, which impair the cell's antioxidant defense system, causing oxidative stress and potentiating injury, thereby culminating in kidney and heart failure. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cisplatin-induced renal and cardiac toxicities may allow clinicians to prevent or treat this problem better and may also provide a model for investigating drug-induced organ toxicity in general. This review discusses some of the major molecular mechanisms of cisplatin-induced renal and cardiac toxicities including disruption of ionic homeostasis and energy status of the cell leading to cell injury and cell death. We highlight clinical manifestations of both toxicities as well as (novel)biomarkers such as kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). We also present some current treatment challenges and propose potential protective strategies including combination therapy with novel pharmacological compounds that might mitigate or prevent these toxicities, which include the use of hydrogen sulfide.

Abstract
Context Nutraceuticals possessing antioxidant potential have been used to alleviate side effects exerted by many chemotherapeutics, including cisplatin. Since Apodytes dimidiata E. Mey. Ex Arn. (Icacinaceae) shows antioxidant potential, it may possess significant chemoprotective effects. Objectives The study investigated whether A. dimidiata could attenuate cisplatin-induced renal damage. Materials and methods Nephrotoxicity was induced by cisplatin (single i.p., 16 mg/kg b wt.) in Wistar rats. Methanolic leaf extract of A. dimidiata (AMF) was administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg b. wt. orally for 5 consecutive days before/after cisplatin administration. Blood and renal parameters were analysed. Total phenolic and flavonoid content in AMF and its NO scavenging effect was determined. Results Significant protective effect of AMF on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was observed in pre-treated animals. The reduction of urea, creatinine and lipid peroxidation was 58.31%, 42.19% and 60%, respectively, and the increase in haemoglobin and leucocyte count was 28.25% and 42.91%, respectively. The increase calculated for GSH, GPx, SOD and catalase was 35.64%, 18.14%, 74.42% and 35.46%, respectively. Tissue architecture of kidney was almost normal in AMF treated animals. The results were comparable to the standard drug, silymarin. AMF contained high level of polyphenols and flavonoids and was found to scavenge NO radicals (IC50 121.8 μg/mL). Discussion and conclusion AMF can effectively counteract cisplatin mediated renal acute toxicity possibly by scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Accordingly, the study suggests that AMF can ameliorate free radical-induced damage associated with chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronic NAC administration along with cisplatin on cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity by means of coronary flow (CF), cardiodynamic parameters, oxidative stress markers and morphological changes in isolated rat heart. Isolated hearts of Wistar albino rats (divided into four groups: control, cisplatin, NAC and cisplatin+NAC group) were perfused according to Langendorff technique at constant coronary perfusion pressure starting at 50 and gradually increased to 65, 80, 95 and 110 cm H2O to evaluate cardiodynamic parameters within autoregulation range. Samples of coronary venous effluent (CVE) were collected for determination of CF and biochemical assays, and heart tissue samples for biochemical assays and histopathological examination. Cisplatin treatment decreased CF and heart rate, and increased left ventricular systolic pressure and maximum left ventricular pressure development rate. Cisplatin increased H2O2 and TBARS, but decreased NO2(-) levels in CVE. In tissue samples, cisplatin reduced pathological alterations in myocardium and coronary vessels, with no changes in the amount of total glutathione, as well as in activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. NAC coadministration, by reducing oxidative damage, attenuated cisplatin-induced changes of cardiodynamic and oxidative stress parameters, as well as morphological changes in myocardium and coronary vasculature.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ribes diacanthum Pall. (Saxifragaceae), a Mongolian folk medicinal plant, was used to treat urinary system diseases. The present work aims to investigate the protective effects of Ribes diacanthum Pall (RDP) against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. METHODS The renal injury was modeled by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin for 5 consecutive days (5 mg/kg). Nephroprotection of RDP was investigated by oral administration of RDP aqueous extract at a daily dose of 40 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days, starting 7 days prior to cisplatin administration. RESULTS We demonstrated that pretreatment with RDP aqueous extract protected the mice from death induced by cisplatin administration. RDP treatment also significantly reduced blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr) levels observed in cisplatin-administrated mice. Histopathological analysis demonstrated that RDP administration protected cisplatin-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis. Further western blotting analysis revealed that RDP significantly reversed cisplatin-increased expression levels of cleaved-Caspase-3, Bax and cisplatin-decreased expression level of Bcl-2 in renal tissue. Finally, RDP markedly enhanced enzyme activities of reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and catalase (CAT), suppressed lipid peroxidation as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. CONCLUSION We concluded that RDP displayed nephroprotective effects against cisplatin-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis, possibly associated with both enhanced antioxidase activity and suppressed ROS generation. Given the major nephrotoxicity of cisplatin cancer chemotherapy, RDP might be a potential candidate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of trimetazidine (TMZ) against cisplatin (CP) induced liver damage in rats. Animals were distributed among 4 groups as follows: control group; TMZ group (20 mg/kg body mass, per oral), which was treated for 10 days; CP group (6 mg/kg, by intraperitoneal injection), which received a single injection; and the CP + TMZ group (20 mg/kg, per oral), which received TMZ 4 days before and 6 days after CP injection. The extent of hepatic damage was studied by assessing biochemical parameters and histopathological evaluation of the extracted liver tissue. The results revealed that liver enzymes were markedly elevated after injection of CP, as evident from significant increases in the serum levels of alanine transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), as well as marked changes to the liver architecture, with a significant decrease in serum levels of albumin. There were also marked changes to the antioxidant defense system, as indicated by significant decreases in total antioxidants and hepatic levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), together with a significant increase in lipid peroxidation. However, there was a significant increase in the activity of hepatic nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) as well as hepatic Bax protein expression. We conclude that TMZ protects against CP-induced liver damage through scavenging free radicals and anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects, as well as through reducing NF-κB activation.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to determine the total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) of plasma and renal tissue in cisplatin (cDDP) induced nephrotoxic rats and its protection by treatments with floral extracts of Calendula officinalis Linn. Treatment with cDDP elevated (p < 0.05) the levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine (CR), TOS, OSI and malondialdehyde (MDA) but lowered (p < 0.05) total plasma proteins, TAS, total thiols (TTH), blood glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant enzymes compared to the control group. Pre- and post-treatments of ethanolic floral extract of C. officinalis along with cDDP restored (p > 0.05) CR, albumin, TOS, GSH and activities of antioxidant enzymes in blood and renal tissue. Ethanolic extract treatments reduced (p < 0.05) MDA level in renal tissue without restoring the erythrocyte MDA level following cDDP treatment. These observations were further supported by the histopathological findings in renal tissue. Observations of the present study have shown that treatments with ethanolic floral extract of C. officinalis protect cDDP induced nephrotoxicity by restoring antioxidant system of the renal tissue.

Abstract
This study sought to determine the protective effect of dietary inclusion of sorghum leaf sheath dye on cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats. Adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups with six animals in each group. Groups I and II were fed a basal diet, while groups III and IV were fed diets containing 0.5% and 1% sorghum leaf sheath dye, respectively, for 20 days before cisplatin administration. Hepatotoxicity was induced by a single dose of cisplatin (7 mg/kg body weight, i.p.), and the experiment was terminated at 3 days after cisplatin injection. The liver and plasma were studied for hepatotoxicity and antioxidant capacity. Cisplatin caused a significant (P<.05) alteration in plasma and liver enzymatic (catalase, glutathione-S-transferase [GST], and superoxide dismutase [SOD]) and nonenzymatic (glutathione [GSH] and vitamin C) antioxidant indices with a concomitant increase in the malondialdehyde (MDA) content; however, there was a significant (P<.05) restoration of the antioxidant status coupled with a significant (P<.05) decrease in the tissue MDA content, after consumption of diets containing sorghum leaf sheath dye. Furthermore, dietary inclusion of sorghum leaf sheath dye caused a marked reduction in the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase after cisplatin administration. However, the ability of the dye to prevent significant cisplatin-induced alteration of both plasma and liver antioxidant indices suggests an antioxidant mechanism of action. Hence, this protective effect of Sorghum bicolor leaf sheath dye against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in rats reflects its potential and beneficial role in the prevention of liver damage associated with cisplatin administration.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of water extract of Amaranthus lividus L. ( A. lividus) (Amaranthaceae) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced toxicity in kidneys of rats. For this purpose, male albino Wistar rats were pretreated with A. lividus (250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)) daily for 9 days and a single dose of CCl4 was applied intraperitoneally (50% in olive oil; 1.5 mL/kg b.w.) on the 10th day. All rats were killed 24 h after CCl4 administration, and kidneys were excised and used for determination of histopathological and biochemical parameters. CCl4 administration caused a remarkable increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO) and glutathione levels and glutathione- S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and a decrease in catalase (CAT) activity when compared to the control group. Pretreatment with A. lividus (250 and 500 mg/kg b.w.) significantly prevented the elevation in LPO level and MPO activity as well as protected the decrease in CAT activity but did not alter other biochemical parameters. The protective effect of A. lividus was further evident through the decreased histological alterations in kidneys. In conclusion, this study has indicated that A. lividus possesses protective and antioxidant effects against CCl4-induced oxidative kidney damage.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin has some side effects including nephrotoxicity that has been associated with reactive oxygen species production, particularly superoxide anion. The major source of superoxide anion is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase. However, the specific segment of the nephron in which superoxide anion is produced has not been identified. Rats were sacrificed 72 h after cisplatin injection (7.5 mg/kg), and kidneys were obtained to isolate glomeruli and proximal and distal tubules. Cisplatin induced superoxide anion production in glomeruli and proximal tubules but not in distal tubules. This enhanced superoxide anion production was prevented by diphenylene iodonium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase. Consistently, this effect was associated with the increased expression of gp91(phox) and p47(phox), subunits of NADPH oxidase. The enhanced superoxide anion production in glomeruli and proximal tubules, associated with the increased expression of gp91(phox) and p47(phox), is involved in the oxidative stress in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Oxidative and nitrative stress is a well-known phenomenon in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. The purpose of this work is to study the role of two metalloporphyrins (FeTMPyP and MnTBAP), water soluble complexes, in cisplatin-induced renal damage and their ability to scavenge peroxynitrite. In cisplatin-induced nephropathy study in mice, renal nitrative stress was evident by the increase in protein nitration. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was also evident by the histological damage from the loss of the proximal tubular brush border, blebbing of apical membranes, tubular epithelial cell detachment from the basement membrane, or intra-luminal aggregation of cells and proteins and by the increase in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. Cisplatin-induced apoptosis and cell death as shown by Caspase 3 assessments, TUNEL staining and DNA fragmentation Cisplatin-induced nitrative stress, apoptosis and nephrotoxicity were attenuated by both metalloporphyrins. Heme oxygenase (HO-1) also plays a critical role in metalloporphyrin-mediated protection of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. It is evident that nitrative stress plays a critical role in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in mice. Our data suggest that peroxynitrite is involved, at least in part, in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and protein nitration and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity can be prevented with the use of metalloporphyrins.

Abstract
Despite the clinical reports, few studies have focused on reducing the cardiotoxicity of cisplatin. In the present study, cardiotoxicity was examined after a single ip injection of cisplatin (7mg/kg) in rats. Apocynin was given in drinking water (600mg/L) for five successive days before and after cisplatin injection. At the end of the experiment, hemodynamic parameters were recorded, animals were sacrificed and serum creatine kinase-MB activity was determined. The whole ventricle was isolated for estimation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) content, NADPH oxidase, myeloperoxidase and caspase-3 activities in addition to nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) gene expressions. Furthermore, oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes were measured in postmitochondrial and mitochondrial fractions. Mitochondrial membrane potential, nuclear DNA fragmentation and cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area were also evaluated. Apocynin was effective against cisplatin-induced decrement in heart rate and blood pressure. Moreover, pretreatment with apocynin notably ameliorated the state of oxidative stress, mitigated inflammation and preserved mitochondrial membrane potential. Apocynin provided also a significant cardioprotection as revealed by alleviating the overexpression of Nrf2, HO-1 and NF-κB, the elevation of caspase-3 activity, the prominent nuclear DNA fragmentation and the decreased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area. This study highlights the potential role of apocynin in inhibiting cisplatin-induced hemodynamic changes, postmitochondrial and mitochondrial damage as indicated by improvement in the state of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the most frequently used antitumor agents, but its application is significantly limited by its hepatotoxicity. In the present study, we investigated the effects of crocin against CDDP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in the liver of Kunming mice. Crocin was administered to the mice once daily for 7 consecutive days at the doses of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg body weight orally. On day 1, a single intraperitoneal injection of CDDP was given at the dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. Crocin treatment significantly improved CDDP-induced hepatic damage as indicated by serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels. Crocin relieved CDDP-induced oxidative stress by reducing malondialdehyde level and recovering the levels of glutathione and antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. In addition, liver histopathology indicated that crocin alleviated CDDP-induced focal necrosis. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis showed that crocin significantly decreased the levels of phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tumor protein 53 (p53), and cleaved caspase-3. Taken together, our data suggest that crocin provides protective effects against CDDP-induced hepatoxicity by attenuating oxidative stress and inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK, p53, and caspase-3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin is a highly effective antineoplastic drug with an extremely current mechanism of action. Cisplatin-induced side effects are dose-dependent and limit the administration of increased dosages, thus compromising its therapeutic efficacy. AREAS COVERED This review aims to describe the emerging knowledge about the biochemical mechanisms that mediate cisplatin cytotoxicity and side effects. A specific section is devoted to discuss the pathogenesis of cisplatin-related toxicities and the potential measures to counteract them. EXPERT OPINION Although cisplatin has been used for a long time, only recently its exact mechanism of action has been better defined. The cytotoxic activity of cisplatin is largely dependent on the glycolytic metabolism of tumor cells: cisplatin redirects cancer cells to oxidative phosphorylation from the 'Warburg effect', which is considered one of the most important mechanisms of tumor cell survival. The interference of cisplatin with glucose metabolism is also a cause of its relevant toxicities. The emerging knowledge on the complex mechanisms, which mediate cisplatin cytotoxicity and side effect, may lead to a more appropriate and safe use of this drug. Further studies are warranted to define and implement its effectiveness in combination with targeted drugs able to interfere with cellular energy metabolism, such as mTOR inhibitors.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a highly effective antitumor agent whose clinical application is limited by the inherent nephrotoxicity. The current measures of nephroprotection used in patients receiving cisplatin are not satisfactory, and studies have focused on the investigation of new possible protective strategies. Many pathways involved in cisplatin nephrotoxicity have been delineated and proposed as targets for nephroprotection, and many new potentially protective agents have been reported. The multiple pathways which lead to renal damage and renal cell death have points of convergence and share some common modulators. The most frequent event among all the described pathways is the oxidative stress that acts as both a trigger and a result. The most exploited pathways, the proposed protective strategies, the achievements obtained so far as well as conflicting data are summarized and discussed in this review, providing a general view of the knowledge accumulated with past and recent research on this subject.

Abstract
Spirulina platensis is a microalgae with potent dietary phyto-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. We investigated the mechanism of cisplatin induced hepatotoxicity and whether this natural antioxidant provided protection against cisplatin hepatotoxicity. The study was carried out in a mice model where the animals were segregated into different groups according to their treatments, e.g. control group with no treatment, cisplatin treated, cisplatin + Spirulina treated, cisplatin + vitamin C treated and cisplatin + Spirulina + vitamin C treated. The liver marker enzymes were found to be elevated following cisplatin treatment, signifying hepatotoxicity. The supplementation of Spirulina and vitamin C could effectively bring down the levels of these enzymes. Light microscopy also showed that cisplatin treatment induced liver injury and that histopathological abnormalities were prevented by Spirulina and vitamin C supplementation. This protective effect was further substantiated by the estimation of antioxidant levels and extent of lipid peroxidation in the Spirulina, vitamin C and Spirulina + vitamin C supplemented groups as compared to cisplatin alone.

Abstract
Aim: Acetaminophen (APAP) can change to toxic metabolites at high dose; if these metabolites are in high amounts, the body will be unable to neutralize them, and several tissues including liver will be damaged. In the present study, the effect of vanadium was compared with deferoxamine on hepatotoxicity and also kidney function during APAP administration in rats. Material and Methods: The study was done in 5 groups (5 rats in each group): group I to V, respectively, received normal saline, APAP, APAP + deferoxamine, APAP + vanadium, and vanadium. At the end of the study, blood was collected and serum was separated for laboratory tests. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, sodium, and potassium were determined. The liver of the rats were separated for tissue processing and light microscopic examination. Results: APAP significantly increased; ALT level and deferoxamine and vanadium prevented its elevation. Also, deferoxamine and vanadium prevented increase of AST by APAP. The change of factors, which are related to the kidney function, i.e., BUN, creatinine, sodium, and potassium were not considerable. Conclusion: Thus, it was observed that vanadium had better effect than deferoxamine in the prevention of hepatotoxicity induced by APAP.

Abstract
This study investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathogenesis of triptolide-induced renal injury in vivo. Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=5 in each): triptolide group in which the rats were intraperitoneally injected with triptolide solution at a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight on day 8; control group in which the rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% physiological saline on day 8; vitamin C group in which the rats were pretreated with vitamin C by gavage at a dose of 250 mg/kg of body weight per day for 7 days before the same treatment as the control group on day 8; triptolide+vitamin C group in which the rats were first subjected to an oral administration of vitamin C at a dose of 250 mg/kg of body weight per day for 7 days, and then to the same treatment as the triptolide group on day 8. All the rats were sacrificed on day 10. Blood samples were collected for detection of plasma creatinine (Pcr) and plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) concentrations. Both kidneys were removed. The histological changes were measured by haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The production of ROS was determined by detecting the fluorescent intensity of the oxidation-sensitive probe rhodamine 123 in renal tissue. Renal malondialdehyde (MDA) content was measured to evaluate lipid peroxidation level in renal tissue. TUNEL staining was performed to assess apoptosis of renal tubular cells. Renal expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, Bid, Bad, Fas and FasL, as well as corresponding encoding genes were assessed by Western Blotting and real-time PCR. The results showed that triptolide treatment promoted the generation of a great amount of ROS, up-regulated the expression of Bax, Bid, Bad, Fas and FasL at both protein and mRNA levels, as well as the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2, and caused the apoptosis of renal tubular cells and renal injury. However, pretreatment with an antioxidant, vitamin C, significantly reduced the generation of ROS and effectively inhibited the triptolide-induced apoptosis of renal tubular cells and renal injury. It was concluded that ROS plays a critical role in triptolide-induced apoptosis of renal tubular cells and renal injury. The protective administration of vitamin C may help alleviate triptolide-induced renal injury and nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Cis-platin and other platinum complexes are important chemotherapeutic agents useful in the treatment of several cancers. However, therapeutic usage of cis-platin and other platinum complex are limited by their undesirable side effects including cardiotoxicity. In this context, we aimed to compare the damage caused in heart by cis-platin and novel platinum-N-heterocyclic carbene (Pt-NHC) complex. For this purpose, 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into five equal groups (n = 7 for each group). Cis-platin and novel Pt-NHC complex were intraperitoneally administered at a single dose of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg and then sacrificed 10 days after this treatment. The heart tissues were taken from all rats for determination of oxidative and myocardial damage. Cis-platin and novel Pt-NHC complex caused oxidative and histological damage in the heart tissue in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). On the other hand, at the same dose levels, cis-platin caused lower oxidative and histological damage in heart tissue compared to novel Pt-NHC complex. These results suggest that novel Pt-NHC complex is more cardiotoxic than cis-platin.

Abstract
In pathologic conditions or poisoning states, iron overload can affect different tissues including liver. In this study, the prophylactic effect of deferoxamine and silymarin was compared in decreasing experimental iron-overload-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The study was done in six groups of rats, which received drugs q2 days for 2 weeks. The rats in groups 1 to 6 received drugs, respectively: normal saline, iron dextran, iron dextran + deferoxamine (intraperitoneally), iron dextran + silymarin (orally), iron dextran + silymarin (intraperitoneally), and iron dextran + deferoxamine (intraperitoneally) + silymarin (intraperitoneally). At the end of the study, blood was collected, and serum was separated for laboratory tests. The liver of rats was separated for iron measuring and tissue processing. The serum iron concentration and the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity were determined. The numbers of necrotic hepatocytes were counted as quantity index tissue injury in light microscopic examination. The mean of serum and liver iron in group 2 was significantly greater than group 1. Liver iron was significantly decreased in other groups except group 4. Also serum iron was decreased in groups 3 to 6 compared to group 2 (nearly 400%). ALT activity in group 3 and AST activity in group 5 were significantly lesser than in other groups. The mean of necrotic hepatocytes in group 2 was significantly increased in comparison to group 1. This elevation was significantly prevented by deferoxamine and silymarin. The result of the present study shows that silymarin has a protective effect similar to deferoxamine on iron overload-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
The present study investigated the modulatory role of phenolic extract of soybean (PESB) in a rat model of nephrotoxic acute renal failure induced by cisplatin. Cisplatin (2 mg/kg/day) was administered to the rats for 5 days and the animals were pretreated with PESB (250-1000 mg/kg). Blood urea nitrogen reduced by 49.8% and 59.0%, serum creatinine by 34.7% and 62.1% and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase also decreased by 37.7% and 49.2% following treatment with 250- and 500-mg/kg doses of the extract respectively in the cisplatin-treated rats. The extract also significantly increased renal myeloperoxidase activity by 26.8% and 40.6% at these doses. PESB also decreased renal xanthine oxidase activity and serum nitrate/nitrite in the cisplatin-treated rats. In addition, PESB significantly attenuated the marked renal oxidative damage that accompanied cisplatin treatment. The extract improved liver histology and significantly increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes measured [superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase], prevented glutathione depletion and decreased malondialdehyde level following cisplatin treatment. Furthermore, cisplatin-induced decrease in the activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase in these rats was attenuated only at 250 mg/kg dose of the extract. We concluded therefore that PESB via antioxidant and possibly anti-inflammatory actions offered protective benefit against cisplatin-mediated acute toxic injury to the kidney.

Abstract
Cisplatin mediated nephrotoxicity is remarkably documented by reactive oxygen species. Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide and has a scavenging property. The aim of present study was to assess the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in association with oxidative stress in cisplatin -treated and 10 subsequent doses of carnosine-pretreated rats. 24 male Albino Wistar rats, were randomly divided into four groups (n=6). Group I remains untreated; Group II received Cisplatin (3 mg / kg) for 5 alternate days; Group III received Carnosine (10 mg / kg) for consecutive 10 days; Group IV received Carnosine (10 mg / kg) before administration of Cisplatin (3 mg / kg). The effects of carnosine on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity were evaluated by plasma creatinine, urea, malondialdehyde, nitrate; kidney tissue malondialdehyde, 4-HNE, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Cisplatin-induced oxidative stress was indicated by increased level of tissue MDA, 4-HNE and decreased level of tissue GSH, SOD and Catalase. Marked elevation of kidney weight and reduced body weight and pathological changes in kidney tissues were also observed in Cisplatin-treated rats. Carnosine reduced these pathological changes and counteracted the deleterious effects of cisplatin. The results divulge the beneficial effect of Carnosine pretreatment with cisplatin in experimental rat model.

Abstract
The most widely used platinum-derived drug is cisplatin in neuroblastoma (NB) chemotherapy, which is severely neurotoxic. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a natural occurring compound with a neuroprotective activity in several experimental paradigms. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ALC on cisplatin induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in NB cells. SH-SY5Y (N-Myc negative) and KELLY (N-Myc positive) human NB cell lines were used. Cisplatin induced apoptosis was assessed by using a Cell Death Detection ELISA(PLUS) kit. Lipid peroxidation levels were determined by HPLC analysis. Glutathione levels were determined spectrophotometrically. ALC was used prophylactic or after cisplatin application. The level of cisplatin doses were determined in both type of NB cells at which 50% cell death occurred along with synchronized apoptosis induced. Prophylactic 10 and 50 micromol of ALC concentrations were decreased cisplatin induced lipid peroxidation compared to controls that normally exhibited apoptosis especially in SH-SY5Y cells. Cisplatin caused oxidative stress through decreasing glutathione levels in both cell types. ALC were effectively inhibited the increase in cisplatin induced oxidized glutathione and lipid peroxidation formation in NB cells. We suggested that prophylactic ALC would be a useful agent for cisplatin induced toxicity in NB cells.
