Kaempferol ameliorates Cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis via ERK and NF-?B pathways.

ABSTRACT: Anticancer drug like Cisplatin are associated with serious problem like nephrotoxicity. The effect of Kaempferol is a plant-derived flavonoid compound. The present work evaluated the effect of Kaempferol in mouse model of Cisplatin mediated nephrotoxicity also the involved mechanism. Oxidative stress, kidney function, histology, inflammation, apoptosis, level of proteins, Nrf2 translocation and its effect on cascades such as NF-?B and ERK were studied. It was observed that the pre-treatment of KPF reduced the Cisplatin mediated oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and ameliorated renal injury and its functioning. Kaempferol suppressed the Cisplatin induced infiltration of mononuclear cells, levels of TNF-?, iNOS, IL-12, activation of NF-?B, phosphorylation of I?B? and nuclear translocation of p65 in renal tissues. Also KPF attenuated Cisplatin mediated phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2 and JNK in renal tissues. KPF also corrected the levels of renal antioxidants and elevated the nuclear levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 in renal tissues. KPF attenuated the Cisplatin mediated apoptosis via down-regulating the levels of TP53, Bax/Bcl2 imbalance, activating caspase-3/9 and PARP. The outcomes conclude that KPF ameliorates Cisplatin-mediated nephrotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis via ERK and NF-?B pathway.
