Kidney Int 2024; 106:597-610. [PMID: 39067856 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2024.06.021] [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: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases the risk of in-hospital death, adds to expense of care, and risk of early chronic kidney disease. AKI often follows an acute event such that timely treatment could ameliorate AKI and potentially reduce the risk of additional disease. Despite therapeutic success of dexamethasone in animal models, clinical trials have not demonstrated broad success. To improve the safety and efficacy of dexamethasone for AKI, we developed and characterized a novel, kidney-specific nanoparticle enabling specific within-kidney targeting to proximal tubular epithelial cells provided by the megalin ligand cilastatin. Cilastatin and dexamethasone were complexed to H-Dot nanoparticles, which were constructed from generally recognized as safe components. Cilastatin/Dexamethasone/H-Dot nanotherapeutics were found to be stable at plasma pH and demonstrated salutary release kinetics at urine pH. In vivo, they were specifically biodistributed to the kidney and bladder, with 75% recovery in the urine and with reduced systemic toxicity compared to native dexamethasone. Cilastatin complexation conferred proximal tubular epithelial cell specificity within the kidney in vivo and enabled dexamethasone delivery to the proximal tubular epithelial cell nucleus in vitro. The Cilastatin/Dexamethasone/H-Dot nanotherapeutic improved kidney function and reduced kidney cellular injury when administered to male C57BL/6 mice in two translational models of AKI (rhabdomyolysis and bilateral ischemia reperfusion). Thus, our design-based targeting and therapeutic loading of a kidney-specific nanoparticle resulted in preservation of the efficacy of dexamethasone, combined with reduced off-target disposition and toxic effects. Hence, our study illustrates a potential strategy to target AKI and other diseases of the kidney.

Untargeted metabolomics analysis of serum and urine unveils the protective effect of cilastatin on altered metabolic pathways during cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. Biochem Pharmacol 2024; 227:116435.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most serious complications of cisplatin anticancer therapies. Cilastatin is a highly promising nephroprotective agent to eventually enter clinical use, but its biochemical mechanism is still not fully understood. We have employed an untargeted metabolomics approach based on capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE-MS) analysis of serum and urine from an in vivo rat model, to explore the metabolic pathways involved in cisplatin-induced AKI and cilastatin nephroprotection. A total of 155 and 76 identified metabolites were found to be significantly altered during cisplatin treatment in urine and serum, respectively. Most of these altered metabolites were either partially or totally recovered by cilastatin and cisplatin co-treatment. The main metabolic pathways disturbed by cisplatin during AKI involved diverse amino acids metabolism and biosynthesis, tricarboxylic acids (TCA) cycle, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, among others. Cilastatin was proved to protect diverse cisplatin-altered pathways involving metabolites related to immunomodulation, inflammation, oxidative stress and amino acid metabolism in proximal tubules. However, cisplatin-altered mitochondrial metabolism (especially, the energy-producing TCA cycle) remained largely unprotected by cilastatin, suggesting an unresolved mitochondrial direct damage. Multivariate analysis allowed effective discrimination of cisplatin-induced AKI and cilastatin renoprotection based on metabolic features. A number of potential serum and urine biomarkers could also be foreseen for cisplatin-induced AKI detection and cilastatin nephroprotection.

Nephrotoxicity Associated with Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Cisplatin-Based Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Malignant Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3793. [PMID: 38999359 PMCID: PMC11242517 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133793] [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: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Cisplatin is employed in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). The main concern regarding intraperitoneal cisplatin administration is nephrotoxicity. Numerous reports in this context are available. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess cisplatin-based HIPEC-related nephrotoxicity (CHRN). Methods: A systematic literature review on CHRN after CRS for the treatment of PSMs was performed. The literature search was carried out using Medline, Cochrane, and Embase. The last day of the search was 23 October 2023. PRISMA guidelines were used. A meta-analysis was then conducted. The main endpoint was the incidence of acute and chronic renal impairment after CHRN. Secondary endpoints included the potential impact of several clinical variables on the primary endpoint and a critical appraisal of the different renal impairment scales employed. Results: Our study included 26 articles with a total sample of 1473 patients. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was 18.6% (95% CI: 13.6-25%, range of true effects 3-59%). For chronic kidney disease, it was 7% (95% CI: 3-15.3%, range of true effects 1-53%). The variables that statistically influenced these results were the scale used to measure renal insufficiency, the use of nephroprotective agents, and the presence of pre-existing renal disease. Conclusions: The reported incidence of renal impairment following cisplatin-based HIPEC is highly variable. The incidence of renal failure obtained in this meta-analysis should be used as a reference for subsequent reports on this topic. Further prospective studies are warranted to establish optimal and standardized management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM We report the results of an international consensus on hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) regimens for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) performed with the following goals: To define the indications for HIPEC To identify the most suitable HIPEC regimens for each indication in EOC To identify areas of future research on HIPEC To provide recommendations for some aspects of perioperative care for HIPEC METHODS: The Delphi technique was used with two rounds of voting. There were three categories of questions: evidence-based recommendations [using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system with the patient, intervention, comparator, and outcome (PICO) method], an opinion survey, and research recommendations. RESULTS Seventy-three (67.5%) of 108 invited experts responded in round I, and 68 (62.9%) in round II. Consensus was achieved for 34/38 (94.7%) questions. However, a strong positive consensus that would lead to inclusion in routine care was reached for only 6/38 (15.7%) questions. HIPEC in addition to interval cytoreductive surgery (CRS) received a strong positive recommendation that merits inclusion in routine care. Single-agent cisplatin was the only drug recommended for routine care, and OVHIPEC-1 was the most preferred regimen. The panel recommended performing HIPEC for a minimum of 60 min with a recommended minimum intraabdominal temperature of 41°C. Nephroprotection with sodium thiosulfate should be used for cisplatin HIPEC. CONCLUSIONS The results of this consensus should guide clinical decisions on indications of HIPEC and the choice and various parameters of HIPEC regimens and could fill current knowledge gaps. These outcomes should be the basis for designing future clinical trials on HIPEC in EOC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (RIAKI) can interrupt physical training and increase mortality in injured warfighters. The legal performance-enhancing drugs caffeine and ibuprofen, which can cause renal injury, are widely used by service members. Whether caffeine or ibuprofen affects RIAKI is unknown. Cilastatin treatment was recently identified as an experimental treatment to prevent RIAKI at injury. To determine potential interacting factors in RIAKI treatment, we test the hypothesis that caffeine and ibuprofen worsen RIAKI and interfere with treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS In mice, RIAKI was induced by glycerol intramuscular injection. Simultaneously, mice received caffeine (3 mg/kg), ibuprofen (10 mg/kg), or vehicle. A second cohort received volume resuscitation (PlasmaLyte, 20 mL/kg) in addition to caffeine or ibuprofen. In a third cohort, cilastatin (200 mg/kg) was administered concurrently with drug and glycerol administration. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine output (UOP), renal pathology, and renal immunofluorescence for kidney injury molecule 1 were quantified after 24 hours. RESULTS Caffeine did not worsen RIAKI; although BUN was modestly increased by caffeine administration, 24-hour GFR, UOP, and renal histopathology were similar between vehicle-treated, caffeine-treated, and caffeine + PlasmaLyte-treated mice. Ibuprofen administration greatly worsened RIAKI (GFR 14.3 ± 19.5 vs. 577.4 ± 454.6 µL/min/100 g in control, UOP 0.5 ± 0.4 in ibuprofen-treated mice vs. 2.7 ± 1.7 mL/24 h in control, and BUN 264 ± 201 in ibuprofen-treated mice vs. 66 ± 21 mg/dL in control, P < .05 for all); PlasmaLyte treatment did not reverse this effect. Cilastatin with or without PlasmaLyte did not reverse the deleterious effect of ibuprofen in RIAKI. CONCLUSIONS Caffeine does not worsen RIAKI. The widely used performance-enhancing drug ibuprofen greatly worsens RIAKI in mice. Standard or experimental treatment of RIAKI including the addition of cilastatin to standard resuscitation is ineffective in mice with RIAKI exacerbated by ibuprofen. These findings may have clinical implications for the current therapy of RIAKI and for translational studies of novel treatment.

Abstract
The large (∼600 kDa) endocytosis receptor megalin/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 is highly expressed at the apical membrane of proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs). Megalin plays an important role in the endocytosis of various ligands via interactions with intracellular adaptor proteins, which mediate the trafficking of megalin in PTECs. Megalin mediates the retrieval of essential substances, including carrier-bound vitamins and elements, and impairment of the endocytic process may result in the loss of those substances. In addition, megalin reabsorbs nephrotoxic substances such as antimicrobial (colistin, vancomycin, and gentamicin) or anticancer (cisplatin) drugs and advanced glycation end product-modified or fatty acid-containing albumin. The megalin-mediated uptake of these nephrotoxic ligands causes metabolic overload in PTECs and leads to kidney injury. Blockade or suppression of the megalin-mediated endocytosis of nephrotoxic substances may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for drug-induced nephrotoxicity or metabolic kidney disease. Megalin reabsorbs urinary biomarker proteins such as albumin, α1-microglobulin, β2-microglobulin, and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein; thus, the above-mentioned megalin-targeted therapy may have an effect on the urinary excretion of these biomarkers. We have previously established a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure the ectodomain (A-megalin) and full-length (C-megalin) forms of urinary megalin using monoclonal antibodies against the amino- and carboxyl-terminals of megalin, respectively, and reported their clinical usefulness. In addition, there have been reports of patients with novel pathological anti-brush border autoantibodies targeting megalin in the kidney. Even with these breakthroughs in the characterization of megalin, a large number of issues remain to be addressed in future research.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a platinum-based cytostatic drug that is widely used for cancer treatment. Mitochondria and mtDNA are important targets for platinum-based cytostatics, which mediates its nephrotoxicity. It is important to develop therapeutic approaches to protect the kidneys from cisplatin during chemotherapy. We showed that the exposure of mitochondria to cisplatin increased the level of lipid peroxidation products in the in vitro experiment. Cisplatin caused strong damage to renal mtDNA, both in the in vivo and in vitro experiments. Cisplatin injections induced oxidative stress by depleting renal antioxidants at the transcriptome level but did not increase the rate of H2O2 production in isolated mitochondria. Methylene blue, on the contrary, induced mitochondrial H2O2 production. We supposed that methylene blue-induced H2O2 production led to activation of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. The consequences of activation of this signaling pathway were manifested in an increase in the expression of some antioxidant genes, which likely caused a decrease in the amount of mtDNA damage. Methylene blue treatment induced an increase in the expression of genes that were involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway: the main pathway for mtDNA reparation. It is known that the expression of these genes can also be regulated by the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. We can assume that the protective effect of methylene blue is related to the activation of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathways, which can activate the expression of genes related to antioxidant defense and mtDNA reparation. Thus, the protection of kidney mitochondria from cisplatin-induced damage using methylene blue can significantly expand its application in medicine.

Abstract
The immunophilin FKBP51, the angiomotin AmotL2, and the scaffoldin IQGAP1 are overexpressed in many types of cancer, with the highest increase in leucocytes from patients undergoing oxaliplatin chemotherapy. Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of nephrotoxicity induced by platinum analogs. Cilastatin prevents renal damage caused by cisplatin. This functional and confocal microscopy study shows the renal focal-segmental expression of TNFα after cisplatin administration in rats, predominantly of tubular localization and mostly prevented by co-administration of cilastatin. FKBP51, AmotL2 and IQGAP1 protein expression increases slightly with cilastatin administration and to a much higher extent with cisplatin, in a cellular- and subcellular-specific manner. Kidney tubule cells expressing FKBP51 show either very low or no expression of TNFα, while cells expressing TNFα have low levels of FKBP51. AmotL2 and TNFα seem to colocalize and their expression is increased in tubular cells. IQGAP1 fluorescence increases with cilastatin, cisplatin and joint cilastatin-cisplatin treatment, and does not correlate with TNFα expression or localization. These data suggest a role for FKBP51, AmotL2 and IQGAP1 in cisplatin toxicity in kidney tubules and in the protective effect of cilastatin through inhibition of dehydropeptidase-I.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a major complication of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, leading to acute kidney injury in ca. 30% of patients, with no preventive intervention or treatment available for clinical use. Cilastatin has proved to exert a nephroprotective effect for cisplatin therapies in in vitro and in vivo models, having recently entered clinical trials. A deeper understanding at the molecular level of cisplatin-induced renal damage and the effect of potential protective agents could be key to develop successful nephroprotective therapies and to establish new biomarkers of renal damage and nephroprotection. A targeted lipidomics approach, using LC-MS/MS, was employed for the quantification of 108 lipid species (comprising phospholipids, sphingolipids, and free and esterified cholesterol) in kidney cortex and medulla extracts from rats treated with cisplatin and/or cilastatin. Up to 56 and 63 lipid species were found to be altered in the cortex and medulla, respectively, after cisplatin treatment. Co-treatment with cilastatin attenuated many of these lipid changes, either totally or partially with respect to control levels. Multivariate analysis revealed that lipid species can be used to discriminate renal damage and nephroprotection, with cholesterol esters being the most discriminating species, along with sulfatides and phospholipids. Potential diagnostic biomarkers of cisplatin-induced renal damage and cilastatin nephroprotection were also found.
