Cisplatin nephrotoxicity as a model of chronic kidney disease. J Transl Med 2018; 98:1105-1121.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP)-induced nephrotoxicity is widely accepted as a model for acute kidney injury (AKI). Although cisplatin-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rodent has been reported, the role of phosphate in the cisplatin-induced CKD progression is not described. In this study, we gave a single peritoneal injection of CP followed by high (2%) phosphate diet for 20 weeks. High dose CP (20 mg/Kg) led to high mortality; whereas a lower dose (10 mg/Kg) resulted in a full spectrum of AKI with tubular necrosis, azotemia, and 0% mortality 7 days after CP injection. After consuming a high phosphate diet, mice developed CKD characterized by low creatinine clearance, interstitial fibrosis, hyperphosphatemia, high plasma PTH and FGF23, low plasma 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D3 and αKlotho, and classic uremic cardiovasculopathy. The CP model was robust in demonstrating the effect of aging, sexual dimorphism, and dietary phosphate on AKI and also AKI-to-CKD progression. Finally, we used the CP-high phosphate model to examine previously validated methods of genetically manipulated high αKlotho and therapy using exogenous soluble αKlotho protein supplementation. In this CP CKD model, αKlotho mitigated CKD progression, improved mineral homeostasis, and ameliorated cardiovascular disease. Taken together, CP and high phosphate nephrotoxicity is a reproducible and technically very simple model for the study of AKI, AKI-to-CKD progression, extrarenal complications of CKD, and for evaluation of therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a chemotherapeutic agent that is widely used in the treatment of lymphomas and solid malignancies. However, its clinical usage is limited by its severe side effects in the kidneys. Glomerular and tubular
injuries in the kidneys commonly progress to interstitial fibrosis and, ultimately, the end stage of renal failure. We previously reported that 3-acetyl-5-methyltetronic acid (AMT) had inhibitory effects on rat renal vitamin
K1 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKOR) in vitro and also suppressed mesangial cell proliferation and, consequently, the formation of fibrosis via the vitamin K-dependent activation of the growth
arrest-specific 6 (Gas6)/Axl pathway in anti-Thy-1 glomerulonephritis (Thy-1 GN) in rats. In the present study, we demonstrated that AMT alleviated the progression of renal fibrosis in CDDP-treated rats. The repeated intravenous
administration of AMT for 28 days dose-dependently suppressed increases in plasma urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine levels as well as creatinine clearance in CDDP-treated rats. Furthermore, the treatment suppressed the
expression of α-smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive cells and ameliorated the extracellular matrix accumulation of collagen III, indicating an antifibrotic effect. In conclusion, our toxicological and histopathological results
demonstrated quantitatively the pharmacological inhibitory effects of AMT on the progression of renal fibrosis in CDDP-treated rats.

Cisplatin Induced Renal Insufficiency Measured by Glomerular Filtration Rate with 99mTc-DTPA and by using Serum Creatinine based Formulae: A Prospective Study. J Clin Diagn Res 2017; 10:XC05-XC07. [PMID: 28208988 DOI: 10.7860/jcdr/2016/21177.8998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2016] [Accepted: 08/22/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin also known as Cis-Diammine-Dichloroplatinum (CDDP) is a chemotherapeutic alkylating nephrotoxic agent. Thus, it is necessary to know if renal function is normal before starting chemotherapy. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) can be assessed directly by using a radiopharmaceutical (dGFR). Estimated GFR (eGFR) method use, Serum Creatinine (SCR) levels in mathematical formulae such as Cockroft-Gault (CG) and abbreviated. Modified Diet in Renal Disease (aMDRD). The serum creatinine level is a function of GFR but is relatively insensitive for detecting early renal insufficiency. AIM We aimed to correlate the incidence of Renal Insufficiency (RI) before and one month after completion of chemotherapy treatment by various methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, we examined 64 patients with locally advanced head neck and uterine cervix cancers, before and one month after chemotherapy treatment with CDDP. Single agent CDDP was used with dose range between 35mg/m2 as concurrent weekly chemotherapy. RESULTS Baseline RI was seen in 9.3% of patients by SCR levels, in 21.8% by the dGFR method, in 43.75% by the GFR-CG method and in 25% by the GFR-aMDRD formula. We considered GFR of <60 ml/min and SCR >1.5mg% as RI. After completion of treatment, the median RI was seen in 12.5% by SCR levels, 34.38% by dGFR method, 53.13% by GFR-CG method and 40.63% by GFR-aMDRD formula. None of the methods of GFR estimation showed statistically significant increase in RI one month after CDDP infusion. Only a weak correlation was seen between dGFR and eGFR based on SCR value (p=0.006). CONCLUSION Baseline RI was detected in 12% more cases when measured by dGFR as compared with SCR level. However, mathematical formulae overestimated baseline RI as compared to dGFR. One month after completion of treatment with CDDP chemotherapy, RI increased in 10%-15% cases as detected by all the four evaluated methods. There is weak correlation between SCR and dGFR thus implicating the importance of dGFR in assessing RI. Thus, despite normal SCR levels, GFR by radioisotope method should also be done as pre-treatment workup for cisplatin based chemotherapy.

Abstract
To elucidate the mechanism of nephrotoxicity caused by anti-neoplastic platinum complex, nedaplatin (NDP), treatment with a particular focus on the renal papillary toxicity, we analysed the gene expression profiles of two renal regions, the cortex (RC) and the papilla (RP) in rat kidneys. Male Wistar rats received a single administration of 10 mg/kg intravenous NDP or vehicle alone (5% xylitol solution) and were sacrificed six days later. The kidneys were dissected into the RC and RP and used for histopathological and microarray analyses. Histopathologically, NDP caused characteristic renal lesions, such as necrosis, single cell necrosis (with TUNEL TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling-positive) and regeneration/hyperplasia of the epithelial cells in both renal regions. Global gene expression analysis revealed that several genes involved in various functional categories were commonly deregulated in both renal regions, such as apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, DNA metabolism, cell migration/adhesion and cytoskeleton organization or genes induced as a perturbation of oxidative status and calcium homeostasis. Comparative analysis of gene expression between RC and RP revealed that genes encoding several subtypes of cytokeratins were identified as being specifically overexpressed in RP by the NDP treatment. Differential expression patterns of these selected genes observed by microarray analysis were further confirmed by quantitative real time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, which demonstrated increased expression of cytokeratins (CKs) 14 and 19 at the epithelium covering RP and/or collecting duct epithelium. Overall, the results contribute to understanding the renal molecular events of NDP-induced nephrotoxicity including novel potential biomarker genes encoding CKs 14 and 19 that may serve as indicators of renal papillary toxicity.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is widely used in the treatment of various cancers but its clinical use is associated with dose limiting nephrotoxicity. The present work was carried out to study the effect of administration of CDDP on rat renal brush border membrane (BBM) marker enzymes and inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport across BBM vesicles (BBMV). Animals were administered a single intraperitoneal dose of CDDP (6 mg/kg body weight) or normal saline and then sacrificed 2, 4, 8 and 16 days after this treatment. The administration of CDDP resulted in increased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels and decreased activity of BBM marker enzymes in the BBM as well as in the homogenates of cortex and medulla. Kinetic studies showed that the Vmaxof the enzymes was decreased in BBM from CDDP treated rats while the Kmremained unchanged. The Na+-gradient dependent transport of Pi across BBMV was also significantly reduced after CDDP treatment. These results strongly suggest that the administration of a single nephrotoxic dose of CDDP results in impairment of the functions of renal BBM.

Klotho has dual protective effects on cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. Kidney Int 2013; 85:855-70.

Abstract
Klotho protects the kidney from ischemia-reperfusion injury, but its effect on nephrotoxins is unknown. Here we determined whether Klotho protects the kidney from cisplatin toxicity. Cisplatin increased plasma creatinine and induced tubular injury, which were exaggerated in Klotho haplosufficient (Kl/+) and ameliorated in transgenic Klotho overexpressing (Tg-Kl) mice. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and active caspase-3 protein and the number of apoptotic cells in the kidney were higher in Kl/+ and lower in Tg-Kl compared with wild-type mice. Klotho suppressed basolateral uptake of cisplatin by the normal rat kidney cell line (NRK), an effect similar to cimetidine, a known inhibitor of organic cation transport (OCT). A decrease in cell surface and total OCT2 protein and OCT activity by Klotho was mimicked by β-glucuronidase. The Klotho effect was attenuated by β-glucuronidase inhibition. On the other hand, OCT2 mRNA was reduced by Klotho but not by β-glucuronidase. Moreover, cimetidine inhibited OCT activity but not OCT2 expression. Unlike cimetidine, Klotho reduced cisplatin-induced apoptosis from either the basolateral or apical side and even when added after NRK cells were already loaded with cisplatin. Thus, Klotho protects the kidney against cisplatin nephrotoxicity by reduction of basolateral uptake of cisplatin by OCT2 and a direct anti-apoptotic effect independent of cisplatin uptake. Klotho may be a useful agent to prevent and treat cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The antineoplastic platinum complexes cisplatin and its analogues are widely used in the chemotherapy of a variety of human malignancies, and are especially active against several types of cancers. Nedaplatin is a second-generation platinum complex with reduced nephrotoxicity. However, their use commonly causes nephrotoxicity due to a lack of tumor tissue selectivity. Several recent studies have provided significant insights into the molecular and histopathological events associated with nedaplatin nephrotoxicity. In this review, we summarize findings concerning the renal histopathology and molecular pathogenesis induced by antineoplastic platinum complexes, with a particular focus on the comparative nephrotoxicity of cisplatin and nedaplatin in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CP)-induced renal damage is associated with inflammation. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is involved in models of inflammation. This study evaluates the effect of DL-propargylglycine (PAG), an inhibitor of endogenous H2S formation, on the renal damage induced by CP. METHODS The rats were injected with CP (5 mg/kg, i.p.) or PAG (5 mg/kg twice a day, i.p.) for 4 days, starting 1 h before CP injection. Control rats were injected with 0.15 M NaCl or PAG only. Blood and urine samples were collected 5 days after saline or CP injections for renal function evaluation. The kidneys were removed for tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α quantification, histological, immunohistochemical and Western blot analysis. The cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) activity and expression were assessed. The direct toxicity of H(2)S in renal tubular cells was evaluated by the incubation of these cells with NaHS, a donor of H2S. RESULTS CP-treated rats presented increases in plasma creatinine levels and in sodium and potassium fractional excretions associated with tubulointerstitial lesions in the outer medulla. Increased expression of TNF-α, macrophages, neutrophils and T lymphocytes, associated with increased H2S formation rate and CSE expression, were also observed in the outer medulla from CP-injected rats. All these alterations were reduced by treatment with PAG. A direct toxicity of NaHS for renal tubular epithelial cells was not observed. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with PAG reduces the renal damage induced by CP. This effect seems to be related to the H2S formation and the restriction of the inflammation in the kidneys from PAG + CP-treated rats.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used antineoplastic agent that exhibits dose limiting nephrotoxicity. We have previously shown that the administration of cisplatin results in decrease in the activities of renal brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes and transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi) across BBM vesicles. In the present study we have investigated the effect of pre-treatment with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and changes in BBM enzymes and Pi transport. Administration of a single dose of cisplatin (6 mg/kg body weight) caused nephrotoxicity in rats that manifested biochemically as an elevation of serum urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. Treatment of rats with a single dose of vitamin C, six hours prior to administration of cisplatin, protected the kidney from the damaging effect of cisplatin. Vitamin C pre-treatment significantly decreased the urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. It attenuated the cisplatin-induced reduction in the activities of BBM and anti-oxidant enzymes and also Pi transport. These results suggest that vitamin C is an effective chemoprotectant against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and dysfunction of the renal BBM in rats.

ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Blockage Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Renal Damage. Kidney Blood Press Res 2007; 30:289-98.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-induced renal damage was associated with an inflammatory process. ATP-sensitive potassium channels can be involved in neutrophil migration. This study evaluated the effects of glibenclamide, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker, on cisplatin-induced renal damage. METHODS A total of 48 Wistar rats received glibenclamide (20 mg/kg/day, s.c.) and 24 h later, these animals, and an additional group of 45 rats, were injected with cisplatin (5 mg/kg, i.p.). In addition, 38 control rats were injected with saline, i.p. Twenty-four hours and 5 days after saline or cisplatin injections blood and urine samples were collected to evaluate renal function and the kidneys were removed for analysis of neutrophil accumulation, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta and histological and immunohistochemical studies. RESULTS Cisplatin injection induced neutrophil recruitment and increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta contents in renal cortices and outer medullae tissues. Cisplatin-treated rats also presented reduction in the glomerular filtration rate, as well as greater immunostaining for ED1 (macrophages/monocytes) and acute tubular necrosis. All of these alterations were reduced by treatment with glibenclamide. These effects seem to be related, at least in part, to the restriction of neutrophil recruitment and inflammatory process observed in the kidneys from glibenclamide+cisplatin-treated rats.

Abstract
Inflammatory events contribute to cisplatin-induced renal damage. Cisplatin promotes increased production of reactive oxygen species, which can activate nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) that lead to increased expression of proinflammatory mediators which could intensify the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin. In this study, we evaluated the effect of parthenolide, a selective inhibitor of NF-kappaB, on renal damage caused by cisplatin use. A total of 94 male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: Group A (18 rats) were treated with saline; Group B (12 rats) received dimethylsulfoxide plus saline (the solvent for parthenolide); Group C (12 rats) received parthenolide (3mg/kg) plus saline; Group D (20 rats) received cisplatin (5mg/kg, i.p.); Group E (12 rats) received dimethylsulfoxide plus cisplatin (5mg/kg, i.p.); and Group F (21 rats) received parthenolide (3mg/kg) plus cisplatin (5mg/kg, i.p.). Dimethylsulfoxide or parthenolide were administered at 24h and 1h prior to cisplatin injection, and again at 24h and 48h after. At 2, 3 and 5 days after saline or cisplatin injection, blood and urine samples were collected for measurement of creatinine, sodium and potassium and the kidneys removed for histological, morphometric, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), apoptosis and immunohistochemical studies. Cisplatin-treated rats presented higher plasma creatinine, as well as greater immunostaining for ED1 (macrophages/monocytes) and NF-kappaB in the renal cortices and outer medullae. The increase of NF-kappaB activation was confirmed by EMSA. Cisplatin-injected rats also presented higher urinary levels of lipid peroxidation and acute tubular necrosis. All of these alterations were reduced by treatment with parthenolide. This effect seems to be related, at least in part, to the restriction of renal inflammatory process observed in parthenolide+cisplatin treated rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previously, we have reported that the newly synthesized octahedral Pt(IV) compound, trans,cis-Pt(acetato)(2)Cl(2)(1,4-butanediamine), K101 and trans,cis-Pt(trifluoroacetato)(2)Cl(2)(1,4-butanediamine), K102 showed potent antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. In order to compare the nephrotoxicity of the newly synthesized Pt(IV) complexes, K102 and K102 with cisplatin, we performed various tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a single dose acute toxicity test for LD(50) values determination, biochemical assays in blood serum, acid phosphatase enzyme histochemistry and transmission electron microscopic studies in renal proximal tubular cells in mice in vivo. The route of drugs administration is intraperitoneal injection. RESULTS In biochemical assays, the serum levels of BUN were significantly elevated at 6 h (p < 0.001), 1 day (p < 0.05) and 3 days (p < 0.001) after injection in cisplatin treated mice (6 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.). On the other hand, the serum levels of BUN were slightly elevated at 6 h (p < 0.01) only in K101 treated mice (8.2 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.), and were significantly raised at 6 h, 1 and 3 days (p < 0.05) after injection in K102 treated mice (6.2 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.). The higher serum BUN level in K102 treated mice is considered that K102 possesses more lipophilic fluoro group than acetyl group in K101. The values of creatinine and uric acid were similar in all groups. The ultrastructural morphological changes of K101- or K102-administrated mice were less remarkable than cisplatin-administrated mice. In acid phosphatase enzyme histochemistry, cisplatin treatment induced relevant changes in the distribution pattern of enzyme activity compared with K101 or K102 treatment at 7 days after injection. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, these results show that K101 is less nephrotoxic than cisplatin and a promising new platinum complex.

Abstract
We investigated the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium in nephrotoxicity related to an antitumor agent, cisplatin. In this study, we employed cultured renal epithelial cells (LLC-PK1). Cisplatin at 500 microM significantly increased the production of ROS 5 h and caused cell injury. This agent significantly increased the intracellular calcium level ([Ca2+]i) in a dose-dependent manner 1 h or more after exposure. DPPD (N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine), an antioxidant, inhibited a cisplatin-related increase in active oxygen production and cell injury but did not inhibit an early increase in the [Ca2+]i level. An intracellular calcium-chelating compound BAPTA-AM (1,2-bis(O-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl) ester) inhibited an increase in ROS production and cell injury induced by cisplatin. Furthermore, BAPTA-AM suppressed the rise of [Ca2+]i level in 1 h after exposure; however, an extracellular calcium chelator EGTA and a calcium antagonist nicardipine did not inhibit the rise in [Ca2+]i level in the early phase. An NADPH oxidase inhibitor inhibited a cisplatin-related increase in ROS production and cell disorder. These results suggest that cisplatin-related calcium release from the site of intracellular calcium storage in the early phase causes oxidative stress in renal tubular epithelial cells. Cisplatin may increase the intracellular production of ROS via NADPH oxidase.

Serum thymic factor, FTS, attenuates cisplatin nephrotoxicity by suppressing cisplatin-induced ERK activation. Biochem Pharmacol 2005; 70:1408-16.

Abstract
Serum thymic factor (FTS), a thymic peptide hormone, has been reported to attenuate the bleomycin-induced pulmonary injury and also experimental pancreatitis and diabetes. In the present study, we investigated the effect of FTS on cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II (cisplatin)-induced nephrotoxicity. We have already demonstrated that cephaloridine, a nephrotoxic antibiotic, leads to extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) activation in the rat kidney, which probably contributes to cephaloridine-induced renal dysfunction. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of cisplatin on ERK activation in the rat kidney and also the effect of FTS on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. In vitro treatment of LLC-PK1 cells with FTS significantly ameliorated cisplatin-induced cell injury. Treatment of rats with intravenous cisplatin for 3 days markedly induced renal dysfunction and increased platinum contents in the kidney cortex. An increase in pERK was detected in the nuclear fraction prepared from the rat kidney cortex from days 1 to 3 after injection of cisplatin. FTS suppressed cisplatin-induced renal dysfunction and ERK activation in the kidney. FTS did not influence any Pt contents in the kidney after cisplatin administration. FTS has been shown to enhance the in vivo expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 in the kidney cortex. The beneficial role of FTS against cisplatin nephrotoxicity may be mediated in part by HSP70, as suggested by its up-regulation in the kidney cortex treated with FTS alone. Our results suggest that FTS participates in protection from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by suppressing ERK activation caused by cisplatin.

Nephrotoxicity of a novel antineoplastic platinum complex, nedaplatin: a comparative study with cisplatin in rats. Arch Toxicol 2005; 79:451-60.

Abstract
The present study was designed to characterize the nephrotoxicity induced by the antineoplastic platinum complex nedaplatin (NDP) in rats of different ages in comparison with cisplatin (CDDP). A single dose of 15 mg/kg NDP or 7.5 mg/kg CDDP was administered intravenously to 8-, 11-, or 15-week-old male and female SD rats, which were then sacrificed after ten days. Body weight decreases were observed for both drugs, in direct relation to age. CDDP treatment markedly increased urinary excretion of NAG, gamma-GTP, LDH and protein, with peaks on day 4 and complete or partial recovery on day 7; NDP increased NAG, LDH and protein excretion, but to a lesser extent, and these elevations were generally more marked for females. CDDP increased plasma creatinine and BUN in males and females of all age groups at necropsy. No apparent changes were seen following NDP treatment except in the 15-week-old rats. These results also show that NDP is less nephrotoxic than CDDP. CDDP-treated rats showed remarkable proximal tubular lesions in the renal cortex and corticomedullary region, and the papillary lesions were minor. On the other hand, the NDP-induced nephrotoxicity was morphologically characterized by hyaline droplet changes (electron microscopically, hyperplasia of lysosomes), necrosis or hyperplasia of the collecting duct epithelium in the renal papilla and the epithelium covering the papilla. Cortical lesions, indicated by slight tubular dilatation, were found only in the animals with papillary lesions. In summary, NDP is a promising second-generation platinum complex with reduced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Kidney slices represent an in vitro model that has the cellular complexity of in vivo tissue to provide insights into mechanisms of organ injury, as shown in this study with the model nephrotoxicant cisplatin. Cell pathways altered by cisplatin exposure are assessed by gene expression analysis, cell function, and morphology in human and rat kidney slices in comparison to rat kidney from an in vivo study. The acute nephrosis of the tubular epithelium induced by cisplatin in vivo was reproduced in both human and rat kidney slices, while the glomerulus appeared resistant even at high concentrations. Kidney gene expression changes of in vivo and in vitro samples were indicative of transcription, DNA damage, cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis that are in agreement with the mechanism of cisplatin causing DNA damage, growth arrest, and apoptosis; while genes indicative of protein damage, the disruption of transport and calcium homeostasis, cellular metabolism, and oxidative stress are pathways linked with cisplatin binding to various cellular proteins and macromolecules. Both concentration and time-dependent gene expression changes evident in the in vitro model preceded a change in tissue morphology. Functional assays confirming cell dysfunction and increased apoptosis revealed the rat kidney to be more sensitive to the effects of cisplatin than human kidney as demonstrated by significant decreases in slice ATP and GSH levels, significant increases in caspase 9 and 3 activity, p53 protein levels, and increased DNA laddering. The regional markers of proximal and distal tubular injury, alpha- and pi-glutathione S-transferases, were shown for the human kidney slices to be significantly increased by cisplatin. In this study, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was demonstrated morphologically in rat and human kidney slices, and the associated gene expression and functional changes characterized the cellular pathways involved.

Immunohistochemical localizations of secretin, cholecystokinin, and somatostatin in the rat small intestine after acute cisplatin treatment. Exp Mol Pathol 2004; 77:238-45.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is an antitumor platinum complex that causes the well-studied side effect of renal tubular failure. In the present study, the acute effects of CDDP treatment on the localization of gut hormones in the rat small intestine were examined by immunohistochemistry. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for these experiments. Rats were injected intravenously with CDDP (3 mg/kg) in saline or were left untreated (control). After the rats were euthanized at 1, 3, 5, or 10 days after CDDP treatment, the small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) were quickly removed, fixed, embedded in paraffin, and cut. No mucosal toxicity was detected by histopathological observation in any of the intestines of CDDP-treated rats. The immunohistochemical detection was performed using anti-secretin, anti-cholecystokinin (CCK), and anti-somatostatin with the avidin-biotin-immuno-peroxidase procedure. The total number of immunoreactive cells per complete cross-section was counted. In the duodenum, the numbers of secretin-immunoreactive cells and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were dramatically increased 5 days after CDDP treatment. In the jejunum, the number of CCK-immunoreactive cells was increased 1 day after CDDP treatment and those of secretin-immunoreactive cells and CCK-immunoreactive cells were increased 5 days after CDDP treatment. In the ileum, the number of CCK-immunoreactive cells was increased 1 day after CDDP treatment. The change in the secretin-immunoreactive cell count may be caused by metabolic inhibition of gastrin following CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity. The change in the CCK-immunoreactive cell count may promote the excretion of bile. Therefore, somatostatin may regulate secretin and CCK secretion. We conclude that the distribution of these hormone-immunoreactive cells in the rat small intestine might be controlled by CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity without gut mucosal toxicity.

Abstract
The lack of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 (p21) in mice increases renal proximal tubular cell death and enhances sensitivity to acute renal failure produced by the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. We used primary cultures of mouse renal proximal tubular cells (MPTC) grown in optimized culture conditions to investigate the cellular basis for increased apoptosis in p21 knockout mice. Cisplatin (15 microM) activated caspase-3 but not caspase-8 or caspase-9 and produced phosphatidylserine externalization, chromatin condensation, and nuclear fragmentation in wild-type [p21(+/+)] MPTC. Caspase-3 activation and apoptosis were accelerated in cisplatin-treated MPTC lacking p21 [p21(-/-) MPTC]. In contrast to p21(+/+) MPTC, cisplatin activated caspase-9 but not caspase-8 in p21(-/-) MPTC before caspase-3 activation. The caspase-3 inhibitor Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-fluoromethylketone (DEVD-fmk) inhibited caspase-3 activity but did not abolish apoptosis in p21(+/+) and p21(-/-) MPTC. General caspase inhibitor Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OCH3)-fluoromethylketone (ZVAD-fmk) inhibited caspase activity and decreased chromatin condensation by 51% in p21(-/-) but not in p21(+/+) MPTC. However, cisplatin-induced phosphatidylserine externalization was not inhibited by ZVAD-fmk in p21(-/-) MPTC. We conclude that 1) in the presence of p21, cisplatin activates caspase-3 through a mechanism independent of caspase-8 or caspase-9; 2) in the absence of p21, caspase-9 activation precedes caspase-3 activation; 3) the lack of p21 accelerates caspase-3 activation and cisplatin-induced MPTC apoptosis; and 4) MPTC apoptosis is caspase independent in the presence of p21 but partially dependent on caspases in the absence of p21.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of peripheral dopamine D1 receptors in cisplatin-induced acute renal injury, effect of zelandopam (YM435, (-)-(S)-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7,8-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride hydrate), a selective renal dopamine D1 receptor agonist, on cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in rats was studied. Rats were divided into six groups: control, cisplatin and cisplatin plus zelandopam (30, 100, 300 mg/kg p.o. twice, 75 and 15 min before cisplatin injection) or the free radical scavenger CV-3611 (2-O-octadecylascorbic acid, 10 mg/kg p.o., 75 min before cisplatin injection) treated groups. Rats received intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin at a dose of 5 mg/kg. Four days after cisplatin injection, plasma creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and body weight were measured and the kidneys were removed for histological examination. Cisplatin induced acute renal failure characterized by the increases in plasma creatinine and blood urea nitrogen with tubular damage, and decreased body weight. Zelandopam dose-dependently prevented all these changes. The free radical scavenger CV-3611 significantly attenuated a decrease in body weight and renal dysfunction without reducing tubular damage. The present study is the first demonstration for that a selective dopamine D1 receptor agonist is effective in preventing acute renal failure induced by cisplatin.

Abstract
Initiation of apoptosis by many agents is preceded by mitochondrial dysfunction and depolarization of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Here we demonstrate that, in renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC), cisplatin induces mitochondrial dysfunction associated with hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and that these events are mediated by protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha and ERK1/2. Cisplatin induced sustained decreases in RPTC respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, and increases in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (deltaPsi(m)), which were preceded by the inhibition of F(0)F(1)-ATPase and cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, accompanied by caspase-3 activation, and followed by RPTC apoptosis. Cisplatin also decreased active Na+ transport as a result, in part, of the inhibition of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. These changes were preceded by PKC-alpha and ERK1/2 activation. Inhibition of cisplatin-induced PKC-alpha and ERK1/2 activation using Go6976 and PD98059, respectively, abolished increases in deltaPsi(m), diminished decreases in oxidative phosphorylation, active Na+ transport, and decreased caspase-3 activation without blocking cytochrome c release. Caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (zVAD-fmk) did not prevent increases in deltaPsi(m). Furthermore, inhibition of PKC-alpha did not prevent cisplatin-induced ERK1/2 activation. We concluded that in RPTC: 1) cisplatin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, decreases in active Na+ transport, and apoptosis are mediated by PKC-alpha and ERK1/2; 2) PKC-alpha and ERK1/2 mediate activation of caspase-3 by acting downstream of cytochrome c release from mitochondria; and 3) ERK1/2 activation by cisplatin occurs through a PKC-alpha-independent pathway.

Abstract
Efforts have been made to reduce the undesirable side effects of cisplatin, mainly nephro- and neurotoxicity, but their reduction is usually accompanied by a concomitant inhibition of antitumor activity. The local anesthetic procaine hydrochloride (P.HCl) improves the therapeutic index of cisplatin not only by the reduction of its nephro- and hemotoxicity, but also by an increase of its antitumor activity. We therefore investigated the effects of a combined treatment of cisplatin and P.HCl on rat kidneys and compared this to kidneys from rats treated with a toxic dose of cisplatin or P.HCl alone. Treatment with a saline solution was used as control. Dehydrogenase activities [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and NADPH diaphorase reaction demonstrating nitric oxide synthase (NOS/NADPHd)] and phosphatase activities [K -nitrophenyl phosphatase (K pNPPase), alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) and acid phosphatase (AcPase)] were studied on cryostatic sections of kidneys from controls and treated rats. Evidence of heavy morphological damage and altered AlPase and AcPase activities induced by cisplatin were observed in the S3 segment of the proximal tubules. In addition, SDH and K pNPPase activities showed some changes in the distal tubule cells. The NOS/NADPHd activity in macula densa was drastically reduced. Combined treatment of cisplatin and P.HCl greatly attenuated morphological alterations of the rat kidney and reduced the changes in enzyme activities, except for NOS/NADPHd activity, compared to the cisplatin-treated group of animals. The study indicates that, in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, a significant role is played by enzyme activities, in particular K pNPPase and NOS/NADPHd, and that P.HCl can mitigate the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin, possibly by influencing some enzyme activities involved in important renal metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic cisplatin causes renal dysfunction and renal proximal tubular cell (RPTC) apoptosis. The goal of these studies was to examine the role of p53, caspase 3, 8, and 9, and mitochondria in the signaling of cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Cisplatin (50 microM) produced time-dependent apoptosis in RPTCs, causing cell shrinkage, a 50-fold increase in caspase 3 activity, a 4-fold increase in phosphatidylserine externalization, and 5- and 15-fold increases in chromatin condensation and DNA hypoploidy, respectively. Mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels did not change at any time during cisplatin exposure. Caspase 8 and 9 activities also did not increase during treatment. Cisplatin increased nuclear p53 expression 4 h after treatment, preceding both caspase 3 activation and chromatin condensation. Treatment with the p53 inhibitor alpha-2-(2-imino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazol-3-yl)-1-p-tolylethanone (PFT) before cisplatin exposure inhibited p53 nuclear expression at 4, 8, and 12 h and inhibited phosphatidylserine externalization and caspase 3 activation at 12 h. Neither DEVD-fmk nor ZVAD-fmk inhibited cisplatin-induced p53 nuclear expression. Both DEVD-fmk and ZVAD-fmk completely inhibited caspase 3 activity but, like PFT, partially inhibited cisplatin-induced chromatin condensation, annexin V labeling, and DNA hypoploidy after 24 h. These data demonstrate that at least 50% of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in RPTC is mediated by p53 and that p53 activates caspase 3 independently of either caspase 9 or 8 or mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, 50% of cisplatin-induced RPTC apoptosis is independent of p53 and caspases 3, 8, and 9.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a widely used anticancer drug, produces significant oto- and nephrotoxicity. Previous data from our laboratory, using cultured cell lines, indicated that cisplatin increases the expression of the adenosine A(1) receptor subtype through generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B). Since the adenosine A(1) receptor plays an important role in normal renal physiology, this study was performed to determine whether cisplatin modulates adenosine A(1) receptor expression in vivo and whether these receptors play a role in the nephrotoxicity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, treated with cisplatin (8 mg/kg), developed nephrotoxicity within 3 days, as demonstrated by increased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Cisplatin also produced a significant increase in malondialdehyde, apoptosis and necrosis in the kidney. The above changes were associated with a time-dependent increase in the expression of adenosine A(1) receptor, as determined by radioligand binding assays, Western blotting and immunocytochemistry, and an increase in adenosine A(1) receptor transcripts. Administration of selective and nonselective antagonists of the adenosine A(1) receptor produced either no change or exacerbated the nephrotoxicity produced by cisplatin. These data indicate that cisplatin can regulate the adenosine A(1) receptor in the kidney and suggest a cytoprotective role of this receptor subtype against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
cis-platinum(II) (cis-diammine dichloroplatinum; cisplatin) is a potent antitumor compound that is widely used for the treatment of many malignancies. An important side-effect of cisplatin is nephrotoxicity, which results from injury to renal tubular epithelial cells and can be manifested as either acute renal failure or a chronic syndrome characterized by renal electrolyte wasting. Recently, apoptosis has been recognized as an important mechanism of cell death mediating the antitumor effect of cisplatin. This study was undertaken to examine the mechanisms of cell death induced by cisplatin in M-1 cells, which were derived from the outer cortical collecting duct cells of SV40 transgenic mice. Treatment of M-1 cells with high concentrations of cisplatin (0.5 and 1 mM) for 2 hr led to necrotic cell death, whereas a 24-hr treatment with 5-20 microM cisplatin led to apoptosis. Antioxidants protected against cisplatin-induced necrosis, but not apoptosis, indicating that reactive oxygen species play a role in mediating necrosis but not apoptosis induced by cisplatin and that the mechanism of cell death induced by cisplatin is concentration dependent. The low concentrations of cisplatin, which induced apoptosis in M-1 cells, did not affect the expression levels of Bcl-2-related proteins and did not activate c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK). Cisplatin induced the translocation of endogenous Bax from the cytosolic to the membrane fractions and, subsequently, the release of cytochrome c. Overexpression of Bcl-2 blocked cisplatin-induced apoptosis and Bax translocation. These observations suggest that the subcellular redistribution of Bax is a critical event in the apoptosis induced by cisplatin.

Abstract
High levels of cis-diamminedicholorplatinum II (cisplatin)-DNA adducts have previously been observed at term in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from organs of pregnant rats, and from their offspring, after administration of a single injection of cisplatin 15 mg/kg body weight (bw) to the pregnant rat on day 18 of gestation. The consequences of such DNA damage may be clinically relevant as cisplatin is given to pregnant women discovered to have ovarian cancer during pregnancy. In this study, kidneys, livers, and brains of exposed pregnant rats and their offspring were examined for mitochondrial functional integrity. Consistent with previous literature, the most severe toxicity occurred in maternal kidney, where oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) enzyme activities were significantly (approximately 50%) impaired for Complexes II, III, and IV, mtDNA levels in drug-exposed animals were higher than in the unexposed controls, and abnormal mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In fetal kidneys and livers, cisplatin exposure did not alter mitochondrial morphology or mtDNA quantity, but specific activities of OXPHOS Complexes II and IV were significantly decreased. Fetal brain sustained no discernible mitochondrial toxicity. Therefore, cisplatin-induced mitochondrial toxicity in maternal rat kidney is severe, while damage to mitochondria in fetal kidney and liver, occurring as a result of the transplacental drug exposure, appears to be mild.

Abstract
We recently reported the synthesis of a cationic superoxide dismutase (SOD) derivative (AH-SOD) that rapidly and selectively accumulates in and around proximal tubule cells and effectively dismutes superoxide radicals in situ. The present study revealed that administration of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)-elicited oxidative stress in renal mitochondria, decreased the renal expression of Bcl-x, released cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol, and induced apoptosis and renal dysfunction by a mechanism that was inhibited by AH-SOD. These results suggest that targeting SOD to proximal tubule cells protects renal function and permits the administration of fairly high doses of nephrotoxic anticancer agents, such as cisplatin, without causing renal injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CP)-induced polyuria in rats is attributed to decreased medullary hypertonicity and/or an end-organ resistance to vasopressin. However, the roles of renal aquaporins (AQPs) have not yet been explored. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (230 to 245 g) received either a single injection of CP (5 mg/kg, N = 4) or saline (N = 4) intraperitoneally five days before sacrifice. Urine, blood, and kidney samples were analyzed. RESULTS Platinum accumulated in the cortex and outer medulla of CP-treated rats (39.05 +/- 7.50 and 36.48 +/- 12.44 microg/g vs. 2.52 +/- 0.43 and 1.87 +/- 0.84 microg/g dry tissue in controls, respectively). Histologically, tubular damage and decreased AQP1 immunolabeling were detected in the S3 segment of proximal tubules. CP treatment caused 4.4- and 4.8-fold increases, respectively, in blood urea nitrogen and urine volume, and a 4. 4-fold decrease in urine osmolality. Immunoblots showed that AQP2 and AQP3 were significantly reduced to 33 +/- 10% (P < 0.001) and 69 +/- 11% (P < 0.05), respectively, in the inner medulla of CP-treated rats. Immunocytochemical analysis showed a decrease in AQP2 labeling in the inner medulla of CP-treated rats. Northern hybridization revealed a 33 +/- 11% (P < 0.002) decrease in AQP2 mRNA expression in the inner medulla of CP-treated rats. AQP1 protein expression levels were modestly (67 +/- 7%, P = 0.057) and significantly (53 +/- 13%, P < 0.007) decreased in outer and inner medullae, respectively, of CP-treated rats. CONCLUSIONS CP-induced polyuria in rats is associated with a significant decrease in the expression of collecting duct (AQP2 and AQP3) and proximal nephron and microvascular (AQP1) water channels in the inner medulla.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent used against various human malignancies. However, it induces nephrotoxicity, a severe side effect in which oxygen free radicals have been implicated to play an important role. The effect of allopurinol (Allp) given in a dose of 50 mg/kg subcutaneously (s.c.) for five days was examined on induced nephrotoxicity by a single dose of 5 mg/kg CDDP intraperitoneally (i.p.) in male wistar rats. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations were found significantly higher in the group given both Allp and CDDP than in the group given CDDP alone, p < 0.001, and histopathological examination showed more excessive degree of proximal tubular necrosis in the kidneys of animals given CDDP plus Allp than in those treated with CDDP alone. Increased renal lipid peroxidation, p < 0.001 associated with these pathological alterations suggested that oxidative stress may be involved in the potentiation of CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity by Allp.

Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the progress of wound healing after simple and surgical removal of the first two molars of the right and left maxillary segments, respectively, in Wistar rats with experimentally induced moderate chronic renal failure (CRF). Sixty Wistar rats were divided into two groups of 30 rats each: experimental and control. CRF was induced in the experimental group by an intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin, 5 mg/kg body weight (BW) initially and then with two maintenance doses of 2.5 mg/kg BW at intervals of one month. The teeth were extracted one month after the last dose of cisplatin. The sockets and the kidneys of all the rats of both groups were evaluated. The mandibles of the 15 rats in the experimental group that developed moderate CRF, together with those of two controls, were evaluated for abnormalities that suggested renal osteodystrophy. The histopathological examination showed: (a) that there were no significant differences in the pattern of wound healing no matter how the tooth was extracted; (b) there were no specific abnormalities in the mandible to indicate of secondary hyperparathyroidism or renal osteodystrophy; and (c) the kidneys of the rats of the experimental group underwent histopathological changes that were significantly different from those in the controls (P < 0.001). Our results indicate that moderate CRF does not have any appreciable or significant modifying effect on wound healing after tooth extraction in Wistar rats.

Abstract
Cisplatin caused differential toxic effects on blood glucose and plasma urea, uric acid and creatinine levels. Cisplatin also showed an inhibitory effect on kidney marker enzymes like alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. However, administration of glutathione ester modulates the toxic side effect of cisplatin observed in kidney enzymes, and in blood parameters. It seems that glutathione ester plays an important role in protecting against the cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity by inhibiting the accumulation of platinum in kidneys.

Abstract
Pathological studies suggest that cisplatin injures different portions of the nephron to different extents. To investigate this issue further, we examined the cytotoxicity and uptake of cisplatin in cell lines derived from S1 and S3 proximal tubule and distal convoluted tubule segments isolated from a mouse carrying the SV40 large T-antigen transgene. S1 cells displayed the highest sensitivity to cisplatin cytotoxicity, followed by S3 and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) cells. These differences in cytotoxicity did not correlate with differences in cisplatin uptake. Cytotoxic concentrations of cisplatin triggered apoptosis in all three cell lines. Although BAX and BCL-2 expression was similar among the three cell lines, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein, BCL-X(L), was significantly lower in S1 cells than in S3 and DCT cells, and this may have contributed to the heightened sensitivity of S1 cells. Cisplatin transport characteristics demonstrated a saturable component of cisplatin uptake and differences in apparent K(M) and Vmax values among the three cell lines. The three cell lines were 43- to 176-fold more sensitive to cisplatin than to carboplatin. This distinction between the two drugs could not be fully explained by differences in the uptake rates of carboplatin and cisplatin. We conclude that cells from different portions of the nephron display different sensitivities to cisplatin, different transport characteristics for cisplatin and different levels of expression of BCL-X(L). In addition, the relative resistance of renal cells to carboplatin vs cisplatin is mostly due to the differential effects that follow internalization.

Abstract
The interactions between cisplatin and organic ions have been extensively investigated in animal models for the potential to reduce cisplatin cellular uptake and resultant nephrotoxicity. To further investigate the beneficial interaction clinically, we studied the effects of the organic cation, ranitidine, on the renal handling of cisplatin in children. In parallel, we examined the effects of cisplatin on the uptake kinetics of organic cations and anions by brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) prepared from dog renal cortex. The results indicate that: 1) there is no measurable effect of ranitidine on renal clearance of cisplatin in children; and 2) BBMV uptake of anionic p-aminohippurate, but not cationic N-methylnicotinamide, is inhibited by cisplatin at concentrations of <1 mM. These findings suggest that cisplatin may not share transport systems with organic cations to a clinically significant degree. Assuming that renal tubular transport is a prerequisite for cisplatin nephrotoxicity, the lack of apparent kinetic interactions between cisplatin and organic cations may preclude clinical use of organic cations as a modality to prevent cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
We examined the role of oxygen free radicals in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF). The intravenous injection of cisplatin (5 mg/kg body weight) induced an increase in serum creatinine and tubular damage in the outer stripe of the outer medulla in rats. The renal content of malondialdehyde (MDA) transiently increased. Treatment with the free radical scavengers dimethylthiourea (DMTU) or lecithinized superoxide dismutase (L-SOD) attenuated the increase in serum creatinine. The beneficial effect of DMTU, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, was associated with less accumulation of MDA, less tubular damage, and enhanced expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the damaged tubular cells, but not with improvement of reduced renal blood flow (RBF). On the other hand, the beneficial effect of L-SOD, a superoxide anion scavenger, was associated with preservation of RBF and increased urinary guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate excretion but not with modification of tubular damage or PCNA expression. These results suggest that (1) cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was associated with lipid peroxidation, (2) the hydroxyl radical scavenger prevented ARF through both attenuation of tubular damage and enhanced regenerative response of the damaged tubular cells, and (3) the superoxide anion scavenger did the same through preservation of RBF. It follows that oxygen free radicals may play an important role in cisplatin-induced ARF by reducing RBF and inducing tubular damage.

Abstract
Although the acute renal toxicity of cisplatin has been well documented, long-term follow-up studies in cisplatin-treated children are scanty. We have evaluated the incidence and characteristics of both acute and chronic nephrotoxicity in 22 children (median age 8 years) treated with cisplatin as part of different chemotherapeutic protocols. All patients exhibited a significant and progressive decrease in plasma magnesium (Mg) values soon after cisplatin administration. Magnesiuria also increased immediately after therapy. Hypomagnesemia (plasma Mg < 1.4 mg/dl) occurred in 10 patients and it was dose-dependent. Minimal and mean cumulated doses inducing hypomagnesemia were 300 and 500 mg/m2, respectively. In 18 children we followed renal function prospectively for a mean time of 2.3 years after arrest of cisplatin therapy. Chronic hypomagnesemia and moderate elevation of plasma creatinine were observed in 6 children, hypocalciuria in 5 children, and hypokalemia in 1 child. Presence of hypomagnesemia was unrelated to the total dose received or the time elapsed since cisplatin therapy. Renal function studies, performed in the 6 children with chronic hypomagnesemia, revealed different degrees of impairment in Mg reabsorption. The functional characteristics of chronic cisplatin nephrotoxicity found in the present series-contrary to prior reports-are not comparable to those present in the inherited Gitelman's syndrome.

Abstract
Intraoperative hyperthermic lavage with cisplatin was studied in 8 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and sarcomatosis. A dose of 50 mg/m2 of cisplatin used for 2 hours with an intraperitoneal temperature of 41 degrees to 43 degrees C was used. Pharmacokinetic studies showed that cisplatin left the abdomen and pelvis by simple diffusion with a half life of 48 minutes in the peritoneal fluid. Eighty-six percent of the drug was absorbed into the plasma within 2 hours but only 6.9% was excreted into the urine. The area under the curve ratio for peritoneal fluid to plasma was 6.9. The quantity of cisplatin in tissue from the abdomen or pelvis was extremely variable. It was 1.85-10.28 micrograms cisplatin/g tumor and < 0.57-7.90 micrograms/g normal tissue. Comparison of pharmacologic parameters of hyperthermic to normothermic cisplatin administration showed no significant differences.

Abstract
The clinical usefulness of chemotherapeutic agents containing the platinum moiety is often limited by their nephrotoxicity. To investigate the mechanism of nephrotoxicity, and to assess the effects of platinum analogs on specific organelles and basal protein synthesis, biochemical and ultrastructural analyses were performed in rat renal proximal tubule cells (RPTCs). Neutral red (NR) uptake was used to measure lysosomal function, and conversion of MTT to formazan used to assess mitochondrial function. Despite their differential toxicity, cisplatin, carboplatin and CI-973 caused similar progressive inhibition of specific functions, suggesting they may share a common mechanism of nephrotoxicity. Protein synthesis was the earliest indicator of toxicity, followed by NR uptake and MTT conversion. Fluorescent probes for lysosomes (acridine orange) and mitochondria (rhodamine 123) confirmed that cisplatin's toxicity to RPTCs was delayed and cumulative. Condensation of nucleolar components and fragmentation of RER were observed in RPTCs treated for as little as two hours. Since the nucleolus is the site of ribosome biogenesis, the early inhibition of protein synthesis by cisplatin may arise from disruption of this region. In contrast, mitochondrial dysfunction and swelling were late-stage events, and are therefore unlikely to be the primary targets of nephrotoxic platinum compounds.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The nephrotoxic drug cisplatin has been used successfully in treating some cancers. Patients with suspected carcinoma frequently undergo examinations with contrast media. We examined whether ionic and nonionic radiologic and magnetic resonance contrast media would have any effect on cisplatin nephropathy in rats. METHODS Urine and serum profiles were monitored for 24 days after intravenous (i.v.) injections of saline, diatrizoate, iohexol, gadopentetate dimeglumine, and gadodiamide in high doses (4.59 mmol/kg body weight) in rats that received a weekly intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cisplatin (1 mg/kg) for 10 weeks. There were 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats injected with both i.p. and i.v. saline served as control subjects. After euthanization, rats' kidneys were removed for examination by light microscopy and electron microscopy. RESULTS Light and electron microscopy showed severe morphologic changes, including tubular dilatation, atrophy, and necrosis induced by cisplatin; however, the contrast media did not induce any additional morphologic changes. Gadopentetate dimeglumine, diatrizoate, and iohexol significantly increased (3-20 times) albuminuria compared with i.v. saline in cisplatin nephropathy, whereas gadodiamide did not. Albuminuria was highest after diatrizoate injection. All four contrast media caused an immediate and transient significant increase in the excretion of the brush border enzymes alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltransferase (125-500 times) and the cytoplasmatic enzymes alanine aminopeptidase and lactate dehydrogenase (16-100 times). Compared with saline, the ionic agents significantly increased the excretion of both glucose (two times) and sodium (three to five times), whereas the nonionic agents did not. CONCLUSION High doses of radiologic and magnetic resonance contrast agents cause temporary dysfunction in rats with cisplatin nephropathy. Gadodiamide caused the least dysfunction and diatrizoate the most.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely applied antineoplastic drug with significant nephrotoxic potential. The purpose of this study was to define the toxic effect and excretion of cisplatin in the chicken, a species widely applied to the study of tubular transport mechanisms but little used for toxicology studies. Toxicity was assessed by the relative effect of cisplatin on renal clearances of the standard reference substrates inulin and p-aminohippurate (PAH) and by morphologic assessment of the kidneys of cisplatin-treated chickens. The data clearly support close similarities in the pattern of tubular cell damage produced in the chicken versus that reported for rats and human patients. It was further demonstrated that administration of an organic cation reduced Pt accumulation in the kidney and mitigated the toxicity as has been reported for rats. Excretion studies were carried out during unilateral renal portal infusion of cisplatin, and the results indicated that cisplatin does not undergo net tubular secretion as occurs in the rat and human. It can be concluded that, while the pattern of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity closely parallels that seen in mammals, the avian kidney exhibits a different pattern of urinary Pt excretion than does the mammalian kidney after cisplatin administration.

Abstract
The proximal tubule appears to be the main target for the adverse effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cDDP). We evaluated the early effects of cDDP at concentrations (3 to 67 microM) lower that those which alter cell viability, on three apical transport systems and on the physical state of the brush border membrane (BBM) in rabbit proximal tubule (RPT) cells in primary culture. The maximal effect, corresponding to a 30% decrease in Na(+)-coupled uptake of phosphate (Pi) and alpha-methylglucopyranoside (MGP) and a twofold increase in Na(+)-coupled alanine uptake, was obtained at 17 microM (5 micrograms/ml) cDDP and occurred through a modification of their affinity. At this concentration, cDDP increased BBM fluidity and decreased the BBM cholesterol content by 28%, without increasing the permeability of tight junctions. To clarify the role of cDDP-induced increase in BBM fluidity on alterations of Na(+)-coupled uptake, these parameters were also investigated in BBM vesicles isolated from rabbit renal cortex directly exposed to cDDP. cDDP induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of Na(+)-coupled uptake of MGP, Pi and alanine in BBM vesicles from the renal cortex, associated with a decrease in protein sulfhydryl content, without modifying BBM fluidity. Our findings strongly suggest that the cDDP-induced increase in BBM fluidity in RPT cells results from an indirect mechanism, possibly an alteration of cholesterol metabolism, and did not play a major role in the cDDP-induced inhibition of Na+/Pi and Na+/glucose cotransport systems that may be mainly mediated through a direct chemical interaction with essential sulfhydryl groups of the transporters.

Abstract
We investigated possible renal protective and therapeutic effects of KW-3902 (8-(noradamantan-3-yl)-1,3-dipropylxanthine), a novel and potent adenosine A1-receptor antagonist, on cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF). ARF was induced in rats by a single injection of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF). ARF was induced in rats by a single injection of cisplatin (5 mg/kg, i.v.). Prophylactic treatment with KW-3902 (0.01-1 mg/kg, p.o., twice a day) significantly attenuated the increases of serum creatinine (S-CRE) and urea nitrogen (S-UN) induced by cisplatin. On the other hand, neither furosemide nor trichlormethiazide showed any ameliorating effects against the cisplatin-induced ARF. In the clearance study, the cisplatin-treatment induced marked decreases of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF), and reabsorptions of water, sodium and potassium at tubular sites, in comparison with those in untreated normal rats. KW-3902 (0.1 mg/kg, p.o., twice a day) significantly improved these deteriorated glomerular and tubular functions. In the rats with established cisplatin-induced ARF, KW-3902 ameliorated the cisplatin-induced reductions of GFR, RPF, and reabsorptions of water, sodium and potassium at tubular sites. These results suggest that activation of adenosine A1-receptors is involved in the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced ARF. The adenosine A1-receptor antagonist may be useful for the treatment of cisplatin-induced ARF.
