Chrysophanol Relieves Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity via Concomitant Inhibition of Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the most frequently prescribed chemotherapy medications. However, its nephrotoxicity which often leads to acute kidney injury (AKI), greatly limits its clinical application. Chrysophanol (CHR), a mainly active anthraquinone ingredient, possesses various biological and pharmacological activities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying protective mechanisms of CHR against CDDP-induced AKI (CDDP-AKI) using C57BL/6 mouse and human proximal tubule epithelial cells. In vivo, we found that pre-treatment with CHR greatly relieved CDDP-AKI and improved the kidney function and morphology. The mechanistic studies indicated that it might alleviate CDDP-AKI by inhibiting oxidative stress, apoptosis, and IKKβ/IκBα/p65/transcription factor nuclear kappa B (NF-κB) inflammation signaling pathway induced by CDDP. Moreover, we found that the cell viability of HK2 cells reduced by CDDP was partially rescued by CHR pre-incubation. Flow cytometry results further indicated that CHR pre-incubation suppressed CDDP induced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inhibited cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. In summary, our results suggested that CHR might be a novel therapy for CDDP-induced AKI.

Rosmarinic Acid Attenuates Cadmium-Induced Nephrotoxicity via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, Inflammation and Fibrosis.

Project description:The present investigation was executed to reveal the protective mechanism of rosmarinic acid (RA) against cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity. RA exhibited a concentration-dependent anti-apoptotic effect against CdCl2 in isolated mouse proximal tubular epithelial cells. Cd treatment significantly (p < 0.01) imparted oxidative stress to the renal cells via excessive ROS production, triggering NO level, NADPH oxidase activation, and impairment of cellular redox defense system. Cd-mediated oxidative stress significantly (p < 0.01) endorsed apoptosis to the murine kidney cells by triggering NF-?B/PKC-?/TNFR2 activation. In addition, CdCl2 induced renal fibrosis by triggering TGF-?1/SMAD3/?-SMA/collagen signaling within renal cells. On the other hand, RA significantly (p < 0.05-0.01) attenuated Cd-provoked oxidative stress and associated pathological signal transduction in murine renal cells. RA treatment also could significantly (p < 0.05-0.01) reciprocate Cd-mediated pathological changes in blood and urine parameters in mice. In addition, histological data supported the pharmacological findings. In silico chemometric analyses predicted the possible interactions between RA and different signal proteins and anticipated drug-likeness characteristics of RA. Hence, RA can potentially be applied as a therapeutic agent to treat Cd-mediated nephrotoxicity in future.

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

Project description: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.

Azadirachta indica attenuates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Project description:We investigated the effects of methanolic leaves extract of Azadirachta indica (MLEN, 500 mg/kg bwt) on cisplatin- (CP-) induced nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats. CP (5 mg/kg bwt) was injected intraperitoneally and MLEN was given by gastric gavage for 5 days before or after CP injection. After 5 days of CP injection, CP-induced injury of the renal tissue was evidenced (i) as histopathological damage of the renal tissue, (ii) as increases in serum uric acid, urea, and creatinine, (iii) as increases in malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO), (iv) as decreases in the level of glutathione and activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione peroxidase, and (v) as increase in the expression of nuclear factor kappa B and apoptosis in kidney tissues. However, the oral administration of MLEN to CP-intoxicated rats for 5 days brought back MDA, NO production, and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants to near normalcy. Moreover, the histological observations evidenced that neem extract effectively rescues the kidney from CP-mediated oxidative damage. Furthermore, PCR results for caspase-3 and caspase-9 and Bax genes showed downregulation in MLEN treated groups. Therefore, Azadirachta indica can be considered a potential candidate for protection of nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin.

Ameliorative Effect of Daidzein on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice via Modulation of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Death.

Project description:Oxidative stress and inflammation are part and parcel of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. The purpose of this work is to study the role of soy isoflavone constituent, daidzein, in cisplatin-induced renal damage. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was evident by the histological damage in proximal tubular cells and by the increase in serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). Cisplatin-induced cell death was shown by TUNEL staining and caspase-3/7 activity. Daidzin treatment reduced all kidney injury markers (NGAL, BUN, creatinine, and KIM-1) and attenuated cell death (apoptotic markers). In cisplatin-induced kidney injury, renal oxidative/nitrative stress was manifested by the increase in lipid peroxidation and protein nitration. Cisplatin induced the reactive oxygen species-generating enzyme NOX-2 and impaired antioxidant defense enzyme activities such as glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. Cisplatin-induced oxidative/nitrative stress was attenuated by daidzein treatment. Cisplatin induced CD11b-positive macrophages in kidneys and daidzein attenuated CD11b-positive cells. Daidzein attenuated cisplatin-induced inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Daidzein attenuated cell death in vitro. Our data suggested that daidzein attenuated cisplatin-induced kidney injury through the downregulation of oxidative/nitrative stress, immune cells, inflammatory cytokines, and apoptotic cell death, thus improving kidney regeneration.

Ellagic acid and cilostazol ameliorate amikacin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats by downregulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Project description:Amikacin (AK) has the largest spectrum of aminoglycosides. However, its use is constrained because of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Ellagic acid (EA) is a polyphenol present in plants. It has antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and antimutagenic characteristics. Cilostazol (CTZ) is a phosphodiesterase Ш inhibitor, it is a potent vasodilator and antiplatelet drug. CTZ has an inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species and superoxide generation in addition to hydroxyl radicals scavenging action. This study determines whether EA and cilostazol have a protective effect against AK-induced nephrotoxicity. Forty-nine rats were divided into seven equal groups: control normal; AK 400 mg/kg; EA 10 mg/kg; CTZ 10 mg/kg; AK 400 mg/kg plus EA 10 mg/kg; AK 400 mg/kg plus CTZ 10 mg/kg; AK 400 mg/kg plus EA 10 mg/kg and CTZ 10 mg/kg. For seven days, drugs were administered using gavage one hour before intramuscular injection of AK. Twenty-four hours after the last AK dosage, blood samples were collected to determine blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. Kidneys were removed for histopathological examination and measurement of: malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), decreased glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), interleukin 6 (IL6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), and Bcl-2 associated x protein (BAX). AK caused kidney damage, inflammatory mediator elevation, and oxidative stress and apoptotic markers. Rats receiving EA or CTZ indicated significant improvement in kidney function, decrease in oxidative stress and inflammation through NF-kB down-regulation and BAX expression. The combination of EA and CTZ showed a synergistic effect. In conclusion, EA and CTZ might play a beneficial role in preventing nephrotoxicity induced by AK partially by inhibition of tissue inflammation and apoptosis.

Moderate noise associated oxidative stress with concomitant memory impairment, neuro-inflammation and neurodegeneration.

Project description:Noise, a disturbing and unwanted sound is currently being perceived as a widespread environmental stressor. In the present study we investigated the activation of oxidative stress as a mechanism involved in cognitive impairment through changes in neuro-inflammation. Sprague Dawley rats (200-220 g m) were exposed to moderate (100dB) sound pressure level (SPL) noise daily for 2 h s over a period of 15 and 30 days and the consequence on brain regions of hippocampus observed through behavioral studies by Morris Water Maze to assess effects on spatial memory coupled with biochemical evaluation of markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. Further, the underlying mechanism pertaining to apoptosis was investigated by immuno-histological studies through assessment of Caspase-3 and TUNEL assay as well as morphological parameters, namely Nissl bodies in CA1, CA3 and DG regions of hippocampus. Poorer performance in the MWM indicative of decrement in concept formation, attention, working memory, and reference memory was observed on 15 and 30 days of noise exposures. At the cellular level, increased oxidative stress and inflammation was noticed as evinced by elevated levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1α and IFN-γ in both hippocampus and plasma. Exposure to noise also led to a gradual increase in the number of pyknotic and apoptotic neurons together with the increase in DNA fragmentation in hippocampus. Increased levels of inflammatory genes (i.g.) ccl2, ccr5, ifng, il13, il1a, tnfa coupled with decreased levels of bmp2 and il3 genes were found in both the noise exposure groups. Our findings revealed that moderate intensity noise exposure impaired early memory changes in expression of several gene families including genes associated with regulation of transcription, inflammatory response, and, response to oxidative stress.

Ganoderma lucidum Prevents Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity through Inhibition of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling and Autophagy-Mediated Apoptosis.

Project description:Background:Cisplatin (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum, CDDP) is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic agent. However, CDDP has been blamed for its nephrotoxicity, which is the main dose-limiting adverse effect. Ganoderma lucidum (GL), a medicinal mushroom, has antioxidant and inflammatory activities. Therefore, this study is aimed at finding out the potential nephroprotection of GL against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and the possible molecular mechanisms including the EGFR downstream signaling, apoptosis, and autophagy. Methods:Rats were given GL (500?mg/kg) for 10 days and a single injection of CDDP (12?mg/kg, i.p). Results:Nephrotoxicity was evidenced by a significant increase in renal indices and oxidative stress markers. Additionally, CDDP showed a plethora of inflammatory and apoptotic responses as evidenced by a profound increase of HMGB-1, NF-?B, and caspase-3 expressions, whereas administration of GL significantly improved all these indices as well as the histopathological insults. Renal expression of EGFR showed a similar trend after GL administration. Furthermore, activation of autophagy protein, LC3 II, was found to be involved in GL-mediated nephroprotection correlated with the downregulation of apoptotic signaling, caspase-3 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT) renal expressions. Conclusion:These results suggest that GL might have improved CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and autophagy-mediated apoptosis mechanisms and that inhibition of EGFR signaling might be involved in nephroprotection.

Licorice Ameliorates Cisplatin-Induced Hepatotoxicity through Anti-apoptosis, Anti-oxidative Stress, Anti-inflammation, and Acceleration of Metabolism

Project description:Cisplatin (CP) is one of the most effective antitumor drugs in the clinic, but has serious adverse reactions, and its hepatotoxicity has not been fully investigated. Licorice (GC), a traditional herbal medicine, has been commonly used as a detoxifier for poisons and drugs, and may be an effective drug for CP-induced hepatotoxicity. However, its mechanism and the effector molecules remain ambiguous. Therefore, in this study, a network pharmacology and proteomics-based approach was established, and a panoramic view of the detoxification of GC on CP-induced hepatotoxicity was provided. The experimental results indicated that GC can recover functional indices and pathological liver injury, inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis, upregulate B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 2 (Bcl-2) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and downregulate cellular tumor antigen p53 (p53), caspase-3, malondialdehyde (MDA), high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels. Proteomics indicated that GC regulates phosphatidylcholine translocator ABCB1 (ABCB1B), canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter 1 (ABCC2), cytochrome P450 4A2 (CYP4A2), cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), estrogen receptor (ESR1), and DNA topoisomerase 2-alpha (TOP2A), inhibits oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses, and accelerates drug metabolism. In this study, we provide the investigation of the efficacy of GC against CP-induced hepatotoxicity, and offers a promising alternative for the clinic.

Honey feeding protects kidney against cisplatin nephrotoxicity through suppression of inflammation.

Project description:Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic drug used to treat a wide variety of solid tumors. However, its use was limited due its dose-limiting toxicity to the kidney. Currently, there are no therapies available to treat or prevent cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Honey is a naturally occurring complex liquid and widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat many illnesses. However, its effect on cisplatin nephrotoxicity is unknown. To determine the role of honey in cisplatin nephrotoxicity, animals were pretreated orally for a week and then cisplatin was administered. Honey feeding was continued for another 3 days. Our results show that animals with cisplatin-induced kidney dysfunction, as determined by increased serum creatinine, which received honey feeding had less kidney dysfunction. Improved kidney function was associated with better preservation of kidney morphology in honey-treated group as compared to the cisplatin alone-treated group. Interestingly, honey feeding significantly reduced cisplatin-induced tubular epithelial cell death, immune infiltration into the kidney as well as cytokine and chemokine expression and excretion as compared to cisplatin treated animals. Western blot analysis shows that cisplatin-induced increase in phosphorylation of NFkB was completely suppressed with honey feeding. In conclusion, honey feeding protects the kidney against cisplatin nephrotoxicity through suppression of inflammation and NFkB activation.

Photoreceptor outer segment phagocytosis attenuates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis with concomitant neuroprotectin D1 synthesis.

Project description:Photoreceptor cell (rods and cones) renewal is accompanied by intermittent shedding of the distal tips of the outer segment followed by their phagocytosis in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. This renewal is essential for vision, and it is thought that it fosters survival of photoreceptors and of RPE cells. However, no specific survival messenger/mediators have as yet been identified. We show here that photoreceptor outer segment (POS) phagocytosis markedly attenuates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in ARPE-19 cells in culture. This phenomenon does not seem to be a generalized outcome of phagocytosis because nonbiological (polystyrene microsphere) phagocytosis did not elicit protection. The free docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) pool size and neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) content increased during POS phagocytosis but not during microspheres phagocytosis. We have also explored other lipid mediators [lipoxin A4 and 15(S)- and 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids] under these conditions and found them unchanged upon POS phagocytosis. Moreover, oxidative stress challenge to RPE cells undergoing POS phagocytosis further increased DHA and NPD1 content. Under these conditions, NPD1 was found within the RPE cells as well as in the culture medium, suggesting autocrine and paracrine bioactivity. Furthermore, using deuterium-labeled DHA, we show that as the availability of free DHA increases during oxidative stress, NPD1 synthesis is augmented in ARPE-19 cells. Our data suggest a distinct signaling that promotes survival of photoreceptor and RPE cells by enhancing the synthesis of NPD1 during phagocytosis. Taken together, NPD1 may be a mediator that promotes homeostatic regulation of cell integrity during photoreceptor cell renewal.
