Therapeutic effect of sodium alginate on bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP)-induced reproductive toxicity by inhibiting nitro-oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:1565. [PMID: 38238398 PMCID: PMC10796429 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-52010-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Impaired spermatogenesis and male infertility are common consequences of chemotherapy drugs used in patients with testicular cancer. The present study investigated the effects of sodium alginate (NaAL) on testicular toxicity caused by bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP). Rats in group 1 received normal saline, while groups 2 and 3 were treated with 25 and 50 mg/kg of NaAL, respectively. Group 4 was treated with a 21-day cycle of BEP (0.5 mg/kg bleomycin, 5 mg/kg etoposide, and 1 mg/kg cisplatin), and groups 5 and 6 received BEP regimen plus 25 and 50 mg/kg of NaAL, respectively. Then, sperm parameters, testosterone levels, testicular histopathology and stereological parameters, testicular levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and the expression of apoptosis-associated genes including Bcl2, Bax, Caspase3, p53, and TNF-α were evaluated. Our findings revealed that NaAL improved sperm parameters, testosterone levels, histopathology, and stereology parameters in BEP-administrated rats. NaAL also improved testis antioxidant status by enhancing TAC and ameliorating MDA and NO. Further, modifications to the expression of Bcl2, Bax, Caspase3, p53, and TNF-α suggested that NaAL alleviated BEP-induced apoptosis and inflammation. Collectively, NaAL protects rats' testes against BEP-evoked toxicity damage through the modulation of nitro-oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin is a very effective chemotherapeutic agent against a variety of solid tumors. Unfortunately, cisplatin causes permanent sensorineural hearing loss in at least two-thirds of patients treated. There are no FDA approved drugs to prevent this serious side effect. AREAS COVERED This paper reviews various natural products that ameliorate cisplatin ototoxicity. These compounds are strong antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. This review includes mostly preclinical studies but also discusses a few small clinical trials with natural products to minimize hearing loss from cisplatin chemotherapy in patients. The interactions of natural products with cisplatin in tumor-bearing animal models are highlighted. A number of natural products did not interfere with cisplatin anti-tumor efficacy and some agents actually potentiated cisplatin anti-tumor activity. EXPERT OPINION There are a number of natural products or their derivatives that show excellent protection against cisplatin ototoxicity in preclinical studies. There is a need to insure uniform standards for purity of drugs derived from natural sources and to ensure adequate pharmacokinetics and safety of these products. Natural products that protect against cisplatin ototoxicity and augment cisplatin's anti-tumor effects in multiple studies of tumor-bearing animals are most promising for advancement to clinical trials. The most promising natural products include honokiol, sulforaphane, and thymoquinone.

Abstract
Pediatric extracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, accounting for approximately 3.5% of childhood cancers. Since the introduction of platinum-based chemotherapy, the survival rate of patients has improved to more than 80%. However, poor-risk subtypes of pediatric extracranial GCTs do not respond well to chemotherapy, leading to refractory or relapsed (R/R) diseases. For example, long-term survival rates of mediastinal GCTs or choriocarcinoma are less than 50%. According to reports in recent years for adult patients with R/R GCTs, the use of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) combined with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has clinical advantages; however, HDCT combined with ASCT has rarely been reported in pediatric GCTs. The R/R and poor-risk groups of pediatric GCTs could benefit from HDCT and ASCT.

Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in childhood cancer: comparison between two countries. Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:593-604. [PMID: 35748941 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-022-05632-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various definitions used to describe cisplatin nephrotoxicity potentially lead to differences in determination of risk factors. This study evaluated incidence of kidney injury according to commonly used and alternative definitions in two cohorts of children who received cisplatin. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included children from Vancouver, Canada (one center), and Mexico City, Mexico (two centers), treated with cisplatin for a variety of solid tumors. Serum creatinine-based definitions (KDIGO and Pediatric RIFLE (pRIFLE)), electrolyte abnormalities consisted of hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia and hypomagnesemia (based on NCI-CTCAE v5), and an alternative definition (Alt-AKI) were used to describe nephrotoxicity. Incidence with different definitions, definitional overlap, and inter-definition reliability was analyzed. RESULTS In total, 173 children (100 from Vancouver, 73 from Mexico) were included. In the combined cohort, Alt-AKI criteria detected more patients with cisplatin nephrotoxicity compared to pRIFLE and KDIGO criteria (82.7 vs. 63.6 vs. 44.5%, respectively). Nephrotoxicity and all electrolyte abnormalities were significantly more common in Vancouver cohort than in Mexico City cohort except when using KDIGO definition. The most common electrolyte abnormalities were hypomagnesemia (88.9%, Vancouver) and hypophosphatemia (24.2%, Mexico City). The KDIGO definition provided highest overlap of cases in Vancouver (100%), Mexico (98.6%), and the combined cohort (99.4%). Moderate overall agreement was found among Alt-AKI, KDIGO, and pRIFLE definitions (κ = 0.18, 95% CI 0.1-0.27) in which KDIGO and pRIFLE showed moderate agreement (κ = 0.48, 95% CI 0.36-0.60). CONCLUSIONS Compared to pRIFLE and KDIGO criteria, Alt-AKI criteria detected more patients with cisplatin nephrotoxicity. pRIFLE is more sensitive to detect not only actual kidney injury but also patients at risk of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, while KDIGO seems more useful to detect clinically significant kidney injury. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Magnesium Supplementation May Not Be Protective against Carboplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity But May Be Beneficial for Children Suffering Malignancies: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Adv Biomed Res 2023; 12:11. [PMID: 36926429 PMCID: PMC10012022 DOI: 10.4103/abr.abr_292_21] [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: 09/22/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Magnesium oxide may be effective in renal insufficiency prevention after carboplatin therapy. We have evaluated magnesium oxide impression on the serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels plus glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in cancerous children. Materials and Methods A group of children with different cancers (n = 18) was treated with 250 mg/day magnesium oxide supplementation (MOS) and compared with a matched placebo-treated group (n = 18). After 2 weeks, carboplatin chemotherapy started. We compared serum Cr, BUN, and GFR values before and 3 and 7 days post intervention. Results Serum Cr and BUN were increased significantly 3 and 7 days after intervention in both the groups. Serum Cr and BUN were not statistically different between the MOS and placebo groups before the intervention and 3 or 7 days after carboplatin administration (P > 0.05). Three days after the intervention, the GFR reduced from 101.38 ± 14.67 to 90.11 ± 10.52 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the MOS group. Furthermore, in the placebo group, 3 days after the intervention, the GFR was reduced from 97.5 ± 9.71 to 92.33 ± 10.61 mL/min/1.73 m2. Further, in the MOS group, after 7 days of the intervention, the GFR was reduced to 84.11 ± 12.47 mL/min/1.73 m2. In the placebo group, after 7 days of the intervention, the GFR was diminished to 85.38 ± 10.66 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P = 0.371). Conclusion The current study suggests that magnesium supplementation does not prevent carboplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in children with malignancies. Anyway, we propose magnesium oxide supplementation for this group of pediatrics because magnesium is an essential element for cell and tissue growth, maintenance, and metabolism.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours and has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Abnormal microcirculation during tumour growth leads to intermittent hypoxia (IH), which is responsible for promoting cancer cell proliferation and migration. Patients with advanced lung cancers show deficiency of both Qi and Yin Syndrome (DQYS) in TCM, and studies have confirmed that IH exposure is related to DQYS. Shashen-Maidong Decoction (SMD), has been widely applied clinically targeting DQYS and has a long history for treating lung cancer by nourishing the body's "zheng qi" and resisting "xie qi". However, whether SMD could be beneficial to lung cancer under IH conditions remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to clarify the effects and mechanism of SMD on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth under IH conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57 mice were injected subcutaneously into the right axilla with Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells and exposed to IH conditions (21%-5% O2, 5 min/cycle, 8 h/day) for 21 days. SMDs were orally treated with different concentrations (2.6, 5.2 or 10.4 g/kg/day) 30 min before IH exposure. Tumour proliferation and migration were assessed by HE and IHC staining, and oxidative stress was assessed by DHE staining and MDA or SOD detection. IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels were assessed by IHC staining, and the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway was detected by western blotting. RESULTS Our results showed that SMD treatment inhibited tumour growth and liver metastasis in LLC-bearing mice exposed to IH, decreased Ki67, CD31, VEGF, and MMP-2, and increased E-cadherin expression in tumourt tissue. SMD reduced ROS production, increased SOD levels and SOD-2 expression, and decreased MDA levels and NOX-2 expression. SMD decreased IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels, reduced IL-6 expression and inhibited JAK2 and STAT3 phosphorylation. Additionally, SMD treatment improved DQYS and liver and kidney function in LLC-bearing mice under IH conditions. CONCLUSION Our research suggests that SMD treatment can inhibit tumour growth in mice exposed to IH. The antitumour effect of SMD may be related to attenuated oxidative stress and inflammation through inactivation of the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway under IH conditions.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver and kidney damage is an emergent clinical issue that should be addressed. Rosmarinic acid (RA) has obvious anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, so we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of RA pretreatment on serum and liver and kidney tissues of cisplatin (CP)-treated mice and explored the possible mechanisms. The results showed that RA pretreatment effectively downregulated the serum, liver, and kidney levels of ALT, AST, BUN, and CRE and the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and simultaneously enhanced the total antioxidant capacity of the liver and kidney. RA pretreatment significantly reduced the levels of MPO, MDA, and NO in liver and kidney tissue, inhibited the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in liver and kidney tissue, activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway, and upregulated the mRNA expression of downstream target genes. Our findings show that RA could effectively prevent and alleviate acute liver and kidney injury caused by CP.

Abstract
Calprotectin is a protein molecule that is released from inflammatory cells. Measurement of calprotectin in various body fluids has recently gained significant importance for differentiating inflammatory and noninflammatory events. The subject has aroused interest in the field of nephrology and some renal pathologies in which urinary calprotectin levels have been studied. In this study, the measurement of urinary calprotectin level and its use for determining acute cisplatin nephrotoxicity in a group of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who received cisplatin-based oncological treatments have been investigated. The study included 41 patients who received cisplatin-based treatments for non-small cell lung cancer between January 2019 and January 2020. The patients were excluded from this study who were with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, serum creatinine (sCr) >1.5 mg/dL, a history of urinary tract infection, and nephrotoxic drug use in the past month. Baseline and 48-hour sCr values and baseline, 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour urinary calprotectin levels of all patients were measured. Four of the 41 patients who received cisplatin treatment were excluded because their 48-hour sCr values could not be accessed. The control group included 29 patients. While there was no difference between the cisplatin group and the control group in terms of baseline sCr and eGFR values, the cisplatin group had significantly higher urinary calprotectin values. Of the 37 patients treated with cisplatin, 7 (18.9%) developed cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. The comparison of groups with (group 1) and without cisplatin nephrotoxicity (group 2) showed comparable mean age and male sex ratio. Baseline sCr and eGFR values were similar in both groups. The cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity group had significantly higher 48-hour sCr and significantly lower 48-hour eGFR values. Baseline, 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour urinary calprotectin levels were similar in groups with and without cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Recent studies have demonstrated that urinary calprotectin level measurement can be used to distinguish intrinsic acute kidney disease from prerenal kidney disease. However, the comparison of groups with and without cisplatin nephrotoxicity in our study showed no difference in urinary calprotectin levels. However, there is a need for large-scale studies using combined urinary biomarkers.

Abstract
Berberine (BBR) is a pentacyclic benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that can be found in diversity of medicinal plants. BBR has a wide range of pharmacological bioactivities, in addition when administrated orally, it has a broad safety margin. It has been used as an antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, and anti-diabetic drug in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Several scholars have found that BBR has promising renoprotective effects against different renal illnesses, including diabetic nephropathy, renal fibrosis, renal ischemia, renal aging, and renal stones. Also, it has renoprotective effects against nephrotoxicity induced by chemotherapy, heavy metal, aminoglycosides, NSAID, and others. These effects imply that BBR has an evolving therapeutic potential against acute renal failure and chronic renal diseases. Hence, we report herein the beneficial therapeutic renoprotective properties of BBR, as well as the highlighted molecular mechanism. In conclusion, the studies discussed throughout this review will afford a comprehensive overview about renoprotective effect of BBR and its therapeutic impact on different renal diseases.

Abstract
Platinum-based metal complexes, especially cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP), possess strong anticancer properties and a broad anticancer spectrum. However, the clinical application of CDDP has been limited by its side effects including nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, and neurotoxicity. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects of current clinical protocols are imperfect. Accordingly, it is essential to identify key targets and effective clinical protocols to restrict CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity. Herein, we first analyzed the relevant molecular mechanisms during the process of CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity including oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation. Evidence from current studies was collected and potential targets and clinical protocols are summarized. The evidence indicates an efficacious role of nutrition-based substances in CDDP-induced renal injury.

Abstract
Renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis is the main mechanism of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells has been suggested, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We used microarray analysis to identify miR-142-5p involved in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. miR-142-5p was down-regulated in human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells with cisplatin treatment. Notably, the overexpression of miR-142-5p attenuated the cisplatin-induced HK-2 cell apoptosis and inhibition of miR-142-5p aggravated cisplatin-induced HK-2 cell apoptosis. During cisplatin treatment, p53 was activated. The inhibition of p53 by pifithrin-α attenuated the cisplatin-induced kidney injury and up-regulated miR-142-5p expression. We also identified the Sirtuin7 (SIRT7) as a target of miR-142-5p. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the inhibition of SIRT7 prevented cisplatin-induced HK-2 cell apoptosis and decreased the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Our data revealed that p53 inhibition could attenuate cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury by up-regulating miR-142-5p to repress SIRT7/NF-κB. These findings may provide a novel therapeutic target of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

Natural products: potential treatments for cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2021; 42:1951-1969. [PMID: 33750909 PMCID: PMC8633358 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-021-00620-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 128] [Impact Index Per Article: 42.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin is a clinically advanced and highly effective anticancer drug used in the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies, such as head and neck, lung, testis, ovary, breast cancer, etc. However, it has only a limited use in clinical practice due to its severe adverse effects, particularly nephrotoxicity; 20%–35% of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) after cisplatin administration. The nephrotoxic effect of cisplatin is cumulative and dose dependent and often necessitates dose reduction or withdrawal. Recurrent episodes of AKI result in impaired renal tubular function and acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, uremia, and hypertensive nephropathy. The pathophysiology of cisplatin-induced AKI involves proximal tubular injury, apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular injury in the kidneys. At present, there are no effective drugs or methods for cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies show that numerous natural products (flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, polysaccharide, phenylpropanoids, etc.) have specific antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties that regulate the pathways associated with cisplatin-induced kidney damage. In this review we describe the molecular mechanisms of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and summarize recent findings in the field of natural products that undermine these mechanisms to protect against cisplatin-induced kidney damage and provide potential strategies for AKI treatment.

Abstract
Childhood cancer therapy carries a high risk of treatment-related toxicities and complications that can impact kidney function. Although many of these adverse effects in the acute setting are well described, less is known about the latent effects of childhood cancer treatments on long-term kidney health. With decades of advancements in treatment protocols for many pediatric malignancies, more children than ever before are surviving into adulthood after being cured of their disease and with lower long-term morbidity. Although there is decreased prevalence of many chronic health conditions in cancer survivors, including gastrointestinal, endocrine, and musculoskeletal disorders, the long-term risk of kidney dysfunction has increased. In this review, we summarize the epidemiology of kidney disease in survivors of childhood cancer and describe the treatment-related risk factors associated with long-term impairment of kidney health. We organize this review by specific kidney disease-related outcomes of interest (chronic electrolyte abnormalities, CKD, proteinuria, and hypertension) to highlight what specific aspects of cancer treatment have been associated with these outcomes. Finally, we conclude by comparing different clinical practice guidelines that exist for long-term kidney function monitoring and include recommendations for when a childhood cancer survivor would benefit from long-term nephrology care.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and the risk factors of acute and chronic nephrotoxicity in patients who received cisplatin due to malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of all patients who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimen between January 2013 and July 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. The data of 203 patients who met the study criteria were examined. The patients were evaluated for acute nephrotoxicity at 48 h and late nephrotoxicity at 3rd month after first course of cisplatin. Early and late nephrotoxicity were defined by NCI CTCAE Version 4.0 criteria. RESULTS The mean age of the study patients was 56.44 ± 12.69 years, 78.8% were males and 21.2% were females. It is revealed that the incidence of cisplatin-induced acute nephrotoxicity was 9.2% and chronic nephrotoxicity was 37.9%. While the development of acute nephrotoxicity was associated with female gender, history of diabetes mellitus, history of ischemic heart disease and use of antiplatelet drug, the development of chronic nephrotoxicity was associated with older age, female gender and using of diuretics. High serum creatinine, urea and low eGFR value before treatment were found to be associated with both early and late nephrotoxicity (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between acute or chronic nephrotoxicity and cumulative dose of cisplatin, hydration or intravenous magnesium supplementation. CONCLUSION High initial serum creatinine value and low initial eGFR are the most important determinants of both early and late nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Significance: The 5-year survival rate of childhood cancers is now reaching 84%. However, treatments cause numerous acute and long-term side effects. These include cardiometabolic complications, namely hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and increased fat mass. Recent Advances: Many antineoplastic treatments can induce oxidative stress (OxS) and trigger an inflammatory response, which may cause acute and chronic side effects. Critical Issues: Clinical studies have reported a state of heightened OxS and inflammation during cancer treatment in children as the result of treatment cytotoxic action on both cancerous and noncancerous cells. Higher levels of OxS and inflammation are associated with treatment side effects and with the development of cardiometabolic complications. Key nutrients (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary antioxidants, probiotics, and prebiotics) have the potential to modulate inflammatory and oxidative responses and, therefore, could be considered in the search for adverse complication prevention means as long as antineoplastic treatment efficiency is maintained. Future Directions: There is a need to better understand the relationship between cardiometabolic complications, OxS, inflammation and diet during pediatric cancer treatment, which represents the ultimate goal of this review.

Association of Urine Platinum With Acute Kidney Injury in Children Treated With Cisplatin for Cancer. J Clin Pharmacol 2021; 61:871-880.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent highly excreted in urine and known to cause acute kidney injury (AKI). As AKI diagnosis by serum creatinine (SCr) is usually delayed, endeavors for finding early AKI biomarkers continue. This study aims to determine if urine platinum (UP) concentration 24 hours after cisplatin infusion is associated with AKI, and to evaluate the association between urine platinum and tubular damage biomarkers: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). Children treated with cisplatin in 12 Canadian centers (April 2013 to December 2017) were included. Urine from the morning after the first cisplatin infusion of the first or second cisplatin cycle was measured for urine platinum, NGAL, and KIM-1. SCr and serum electrolytes were used to detect AKI by either SCr elevation or urinary electrolyte wasting (potassium, magnesium, phosphate). The associations of urine platinum with AKI, NGAL, and KIM-1 were assessed. A total of 115 participants (54% boys, median age, 8.5 years; interquartile range, 4.0-13.4) were included, of which 29 (25%) and 105 (91%) developed AKI defined by SCr and electrolyte criteria, respectively. Higher urine platinum was associated with higher cisplatin dose (Spearman rho, 0.21) and with younger age (Spearman rho, -0.33). Urine platinum was not associated with postinfusion AKIor KIM-1, but was weakly associated with NGAL, particularly in participants without SCr AKI (Pearson's r, 0.22). Urine platinum may be a marker of mild tubular injury but is not likely to be a useful biomarker of clinically evident AKI.

Melatonin protects rats testes against bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin-induced toxicity via mitigating nitro-oxidative stress and apoptosis. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 138:111481. [PMID: 33752059 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
There is growing concern that some cytotoxic regimens for cancer adversely affect spermatogenesis and male fertility. Increasing evidence demonstrated that melatonin has beneficial impacts on reproductive processes; however, whether melatonin can protect against bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy regimen-induced testicular toxicity, remains obscure. The present study aimed to explore the effect of melatonin on BEP-evoked testicular injury in rats. Adult male Wistar rats (n = 10/group) were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with one cycle of 21 days of 0.33 therapeutically relevant dose levels of BEP (.5 mg/kg bleomycin, 5 mg/kg etoposide, and 1 mg/kg cisplatin) with or without melatonin. At the end of the study, sperm parameters, testosterone level, stereology of testes, testicular levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), the expression of apoptosis-associated genes such as Bcl2, Bax, Caspase-3, p53, and TNF-α (Real-time PCR and Immunohistochemistry) were evaluated. Our findings showed that melatonin restored spermatogenesis by improving sperm count, motility, viability, and morphology. Testosterone level, histopathology, and stereology of testes were significantly improved in melatonin-administrated groups. Furthermore, melatonin recovered the oxidative status of the testes through elevating TAC and ameliorating MDA and NO levels. More importantly, melatonin therapy suppressed BEP-evoked apoptosis by modulating Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, p53, and TNF-α expression in testes. In conclusion, melatonin protects the testes against BEP-induced testicular damage by attenuating nitro-oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation, which provides evidence for melatonin as a possible clinical therapy against BEP-associated gonadotoxicity and male sub/infertility.

Effect of Cilastatin on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Patients Undergoing Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22031239.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents in oncology, although its nephrotoxicity limits application and dosage. We present the results of a clinical study on prophylaxis of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis undergoing cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC-cisplatin). Prophylaxis was with imipenem/cilastatin. Cilastatin is a selective inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase I in the proximal renal tubule cells that can reduce the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin. Unfortunately, cilastatin is not currently marketed alone, and can only be administered in combination with imipenem. The study has a retrospective part that serves as a control (n = 99 patients receiving standard surgical prophylaxis) and a prospective part with imipenem/cilastatin prophylaxis corresponding to the study group (n = 85 patients). In both groups, we collected specific data on preoperative risk factors of renal damage, fluid management, hemodynamic control, and urine volume during surgery (including the hyperthermic chemotherapy perfusion), as well as data on hemodynamic and renal function during the first seven days after surgery. The main finding of the study is that cilastatin may exert a nephroprotective effect in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis undergoing cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal cisplatin perfusion. Creatinine values remained lower than in the control group (ANOVA test, p = 0.037). This translates into easier management of these patients in the postoperative period, with significantly shorter intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CIS) is widely used in the chemotreatment of pediatric tumors. However, the CIS use is limited because of its high incidence of toxicity, mainly nephrotoxicity. Although there are many studies about CIS-related nephrotoxicity in animal models, only a few studies focus on juvenile animals. Because redox disturbances have been associated with kidney damage induced by CIS, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Ebselen and diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 against nephrotoxicity induced by CIS in juvenile rats. METHODS Juvenile Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: rats from groups I to III received an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection with saline solution. The other groups received CIS (i.p., 6 mg/kg) on the first day. One hour before CIS injection and on the next four days, animals of groups III and V were intragastrically treated with Ebselen (11 mg/kg) whereas those from groups IV and VI received (PhSe)2 (12 mg/kg). After 24 h of the last treatment, blood and kidney were collected, and the parameters of renal function and oxidative stress were determined. RESULTS Kidney damage induced by CIS was confirmed by the increase of creatinine, urea and uric acid levels in the blood of juvenile rats. The renal oxidative disturbance was characterized by an increase in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyl, and nitrogen oxides (Nox), as well as the decrease in non-protein thiol content (NPSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. CIS inhibited the activities of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) and Na+, K+-ATPase and down-regulated the Nrf2/Keap-1/HO-1 pathway in the kidney of juvenile rats. CONCLUSION Both Ebselen and (PhSe)2 modulated back to the normal levels all parameters altered by the CIS administration in the kidney of juvenile rats. Thus, this study shows that (PhSe)2 was as effective as Ebselen in protecting the kidney against oxidative damage caused by CIS in rats.

Abstract
Many anticancer drugs are genotoxic agents inducing DNA breaks in actively proliferating cancer cells. However, these same drugs also induce mutations, mostly genome structural variations (GSVs). The detection of GSVs in normal cells and tissues is a major challenge due to the very low abundance of these mutations, which are essentially only detectable in clonal outgrowths, such as tumors. Previously we developed Structural Variant Search (SVS) – an NGS-based assay for the quantitative detection of somatic GSVs in normal cells. Using an improved version of SVS we now demonstrate that the same dose of the anti-cancer drug bleomycin induces about 5 times more somatic GSVs in quiescent primary human fibroblasts than in proliferating cells. GVS induction in non-dividing, normal cells was subsequently confirmed in vivo by demonstrating that a single dose of bleomycin leads to a significant increase of GSV frequency in mouse liver and heart, two postmitotic tissues. Our findings suggest that normal non-cycling differentiated cells may serve as a reservoir of iatrogenically induced mutations. These results provide more insight into the possible molecular mechanisms that underlie late-life morbidities in cancer survivors exposed to chemotherapy.

Patterns and frequency of renal abnormalities in Fanconi anaemia: implications for long-term management. Pediatr Nephrol 2018; 33:1547-1551.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fanconi anaemia (FA) is an inherited disease with bone marrow failure, variable congenital and developmental abnormalities, and cancer predisposition. With improved survival, non-haematological manifestations of FA become increasingly important for long-term management. While renal abnormalities are recognized, detailed data on patterns and frequency and implications for long-term management are sparse. METHODS We reviewed clinical course and imaging findings of FA patients with respect to renal complications in our centre over a 25-year period to formulate some practical suggestions for guidelines for management of renal problems associated with FA. RESULTS Thirty patients including four sibling sets were reviewed. On imaging, 14 had evidence of anatomical abnormalities of the kidneys. Two cases with severe phenotype, including renal abnormalities, had chronic kidney disease (CKD) at diagnosis. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was complicated by significant acute kidney injury (AKI) in three cases. In three patients, there was CKD at long-term follow-up. All patients had normal blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of renal anatomy with ultrasound imaging is important at diagnostic workup of FA. While CKD is uncommon at diagnosis, our data suggests that the incidence of CKD increases with age, in particular after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Monitoring of renal function is essential for management of FA. Based on these long-term clinical observations, we formulate some practical guidelines for assessment and management of renal abnormalities in FA.
