Abstract
This study aimed to investigate sex, age, and species differences of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models in rats and humans. PBPK models were generally developed as either flow- or permeability-limited models. The flow-limited model is cost-effective and allows for human PK prediction through simple allometric scaling, while the permeability-limited model can incorporate detailed information on the disposition process through in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE). PFOA was administered via oral or intravenous administration with 5 mg/kg in male and female rats of different ages and the data was used to develop the PBPK models. Our results showed that both models successfully captured sex differences in rats, while only the flow-limited model with male rats and the permeability-limited model with both male and female rats provided comparable predictions in the human clinical study. More than the flow-limited model, the permeability-limited model effectively explained sex differences in rats and species differences through IVIVE. Additionally, the ontogeny-based mechanistic description of PFOA disposition enabled the interpretation of age- and sex-dependent pharmacokinetics. Although the flow-limited PBPK model lacked mechanistic interpretability compared to the permeability-limited model, it demonstrated reliable human prediction through simple allometric scaling. In conclusion, the permeability PBPK model could interpret age, sex, and species differences and it could improve the accuracy of human prediction.

Proteomic analysis of murine kidney proximal tubule sub-segment derived cell lines reveals preferences in mitochondrial pathway activity. J Proteomics 2023; 289:104998. [PMID: 37657718 PMCID: PMC10843797 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.104998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
The proximal tubule (PT) is a nephron segment that is responsible for the majority of solute and water reabsorption in the kidney. Each of its sub-segments have specialized functions; however, little is known about the genes and proteins that determine the oxidative phosphorylation capacity of the PT sub-segments. This information is critical to understanding kidney function and will provide a comprehensive landscape of renal cell adaptations to injury, physiologic stressors, and development. This study analyzed three immortalized murine renal cell lines (PT S1, S2, and S3 segments) for protein content and compared them to a murine fibroblast cell line. All three proximal tubule cell lines generate ATP predominantly by oxidative phosphorylation while the fibroblast cell line is glycolytic. The proteomic data demonstrates that the most significant difference in proteomic signatures between the cell lines are proteins known to be localized in the nucleus followed by mitochondrial proteins. Mitochondrial metabolic substrate utilization assays were performed using the proximal tubule cell lines to determine substrate utilization kinetics thereby providing a physiologic context to the proteomic dataset. This data will allow researchers to study differences in nephron-specific cell lines, between epithelial and fibroblast cells, and between actively respiring cells and glycolytic cells. SIGNIFICANCE: Proteomic analysis of proteins expressed in immortalized murine renal proximal tubule cells was compared to a murine fibroblast cell line proteome. The proximal tubule segment specific cell lines: S1, S2 and S3 are all grown under conditions whereby the cells generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation while the fibroblast cell line utilizes anaerobic glycolysis for ATP generation. The proteomic studies allow for the following queries: 1) comparisons between the proximal tubule segment specific cell lines, 2) comparisons between polarized epithelia and fibroblasts, 3) comparison between cells employing oxidative phosphorylation versus anaerobic glycolysis and 4) comparisons between cells grown on clear versus opaque membrane supports. The data finds major differences in nuclear protein expression and mitochondrial proteins. This proteomic data set will be an important baseline dataset for investigators who need immortalized renal proximal tubule epithelial cells for their research.

Abstract
One of the most neglected aspects of chemotherapy are changes, and possible consequences of these changes, that occur in normal somatic cells. In this review, we summarize effects of selected drugs used to treat ovarian cancer (platin derivatives-cisplatin and carboplatin; and taxanes-paclitaxel and docetaxel) on cellular metabolism, acquisition of reactive stroma features, cellular senescence, inflammatory reactions, apoptosis, autophagy, mitophagy, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and angiogenesis in various types of normal cells, including fibroblasts, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and neurons. The activity of these drugs against the normal cells is presented from a broader perspective of their desirable anti-tumoral effects.

Abstract
The human cell line HK-2 is most commonly used as a model of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) for various studies despite the absence or low expression of transporters characteristic of parental PTECs. In an effort to develop reliable PTEC models, several human cell lines have been newly established over the last decade. In contrast, reliable mouse PTEC models are still unavailable. In this study, we established immortalized renal cortex tubule cell lines derived from p53 knockout mice and evaluated various PTEC characteristics toward the development of reliable mouse PTEC models. Here, we focus on MuRTE61, one of 13 newly established clonal cell lines. Albumin uptake in MuRTE61 cells was verified by incubation with fluorescent dye-labeled albumin. RT-PCR confirmed the expression of efflux transporter genes characteristic of PTECs in the MuRTE61 cells. MuRTE61 cells exhibited high sensitivity to treatment with cisplatin, a nephrotoxic agent, accompanied by upregulated expression of the uptake transporter Slc22a2 gene. Furthermore, MuRTE61 cells consistently formed spheroids with a lumen and apicobasal polarity in three-dimensional Matrigel cultures. Apical brush border microvilli were also observed in the spheroids by transmission electron microscopy. These data validate that MuRTE61 can be characterized as a reliable mouse PTEC line. In future, detailed analysis of reliable mouse and human PTEC lines will provide an accurate extrapolation of results of experiments using mice and humans, and may help resolve apparent inconsistencies between mouse and human nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The kidney is a major target for toxicity elicited by pharmaceuticals and environmental pollutants. Standard testing which often does not investigate underlying mechanisms has proven not to be an adequate hazard assessment approach. As such, there is an opportunity for the application of computational approaches that utilize multiscale data based on the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) paradigm, coupled with an understanding of the chemistry underpinning the molecular initiating event (MIE) to provide a deep understanding of how structural fragments of molecules relate to specific mechanisms of nephrotoxicity. Aims covered: The aim of this investigation was to review the current scientific landscape related to computational methods, including mechanistic data, AOPs, publicly available knowledge bases and current in silico models, for the assessment of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals with regard to their potential to elicit nephrotoxicity. A list of over 250 nephrotoxicants enriched with, where possible, mechanistic and AOP-derived understanding was compiled. Expert opinion: Whilst little mechanistic evidence has been translated into AOPs, this review identified a number of data sources of in vitro, in vivo, and human data that may assist in the development of in silico models which in turn may shed light on the interrelationships between nephrotoxicity mechanisms.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning confers organ-wide protection against subsequent ischemic stress. A substantial body of evidence underscores the importance of mitochondria adaptation as a critical component of cell protection from ischemia. To identify changes in mitochondria protein expression in response to ischemic preconditioning, we isolated mitochondria from ischemic preconditioned kidneys and sham-treated kidneys as a basis for comparison. The proteomic screen identified highly upregulated proteins, including NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), and we confirmed the ability of this protein to confer cellular protection from injury in murine S3 proximal tubule cells subjected to hypoxia. To further evaluate the role of IDH2 in cell protection, we performed detailed analysis of the effects of Idh2 gene delivery on kidney susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Gene delivery of IDH2 before injury attenuated the injury-induced rise in serum creatinine (P<0.05) observed in controls and increased the mitochondria membrane potential (P<0.05), maximal respiratory capacity (P<0.05), and intracellular ATP levels (P<0.05) above those in controls. This communication shows that gene delivery of Idh2 can confer organ-wide protection against subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury and mimics ischemic preconditioning.

In Vivo siRNA Delivery and Rebound of Renal LRP2 in Mice. JOURNAL OF DRUG DELIVERY 2017; 2017:4070793.

Abstract
siRNA stabilized for in vivo applications is filtered and reabsorbed in the renal proximal tubule (PT), reducing mRNA expression transiently. Prior siRNA efforts have successfully prevented upregulation of mRNA in response to injury. We proposed reducing constitutive gene and protein expression of LRP2 (megalin) in order to understand its molecular regulation in mice. Using siRNA targeting mouse LRP2 (siLRP2), reduction of LRP2 mRNA expression was compared to scrambled siRNA (siSCR) in mouse PT cells. Mice received siLRP2 administration optimized for dose, administration site, carrier solution, administration frequency, and administration duration. Kidney cortex was collected upon sacrifice. Renal gene and protein expression were compared by qRT-PCR, immunoblot, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Compared to siSCR, siLRP2 reduced mRNA expression in PT cells to 16.6% ± 0.6%. In mouse kidney cortex, siLRP2 reduced mRNA expression to 74.8 ± 6.3% 3 h and 70.1 ± 6.3% 6 h after administration. mRNA expression rebounded at 12 h (160.6 ± 11.2%). No megalin renal protein expression reduction was observed by immunoblot or IHC, even after serial twice daily dosing for 3.5 days. Megalin is a constitutively expressed protein. Although LRP2 renal mRNA expression reduction was achieved, siRNA remains a costly and inefficient intervention to reduce in vivo megalin protein expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Discovery of the metallopharmaceutical cisplatin and its use in antitumour therapy has initiated the rational design and screening of metal-based anticancer agents as potential chemotherapeutics. In addition to the achievements of cisplatin and its therapeutic analogues, there are significant drawbacks to its use: resistance and toxicity. Over the past four decades, numerous transition metal complexes have been synthesized and investigated in vitro and in vivo. The most studied metals among these complexes are platinum and ruthenium. The key features of these investigations is to find novel metal complexes that could potentially exert less toxicity and equal or higher antitumour potency and to overcome other pharmacological deficiencies. Ru complexes have a different mode of action than cisplatin does, some of which are under clinical trials for treating metastatic or cisplatin-resistant tumours. This review consists of the current knowledge, published and unpublished, related to the toxicity of metallopharmaceuticals, and special attention is given to platinum [Pt(II) and Pt(IV)] and ruthenium [Ru(II) and Ru(III)] complexes.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Cisplatin (CP) is an antineoplastic agent that induces nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress. S-allylcysteine (SAC) is a garlic-derived antioxidant. This study aims to explore whether SAC protects against CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
Methods
In the first stage, the SAC protective dose was determined by measuring renal damage and the oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde, oxidized proteins and glutathione in rats injected with CP. In the second stage, the effect of a single dose of SAC on the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), protein kinase C beta 2 (PKCβ2) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase subunits (p47phox and gp91phox) was studied. In addition, the effect of SAC on oxidative stress markers and on the activity of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) in isolated proximal and distal tubules were evaluated.
Key findings
SAC (25 mg/kg) prevented the CP-induced renal damage and attenuated CP-induced decrease in Nrf2 levels and increase in PKCβ2, p47phox and gp91phox expression in renal cortex and oxidative stress and decrease in the activity of CAT, GPx and GR in proximal and distal tubules.
Conclusions
These data suggest that SAC provides renoprotection by attenuating CP-induced oxidative stress and decrease in the activity of CAT, GPx and GR.

Abstract
A cadmium-binding, genetically encoded protein tag, consisting of three repeats of metallothionein (3MT), can be used in electron microscopy for the visualization of multimeric- but not monomeric-tagged proteins due to insufficient electron density in monomeric proteins. Here, we present a technique for detecting monomeric 3MT-tagged green fluorescent protein (GFP-3MT) using a platinum compound to intensify the electron density. Substitution of cadmium by platinum as a result of incubating purified cadmium-binding 3MT-tagged GFP (GFP-Cd-3MT) with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisDDP) was assessed by a UV absorption band centered at 284 nm thereby indicating platinum-sulfhydryl bonds. The incubation time and the concentration of cisDDP to reach maximal absorption were 2 h and 36-fold molar equivalent of cisDDP, respectively. GFP-Pt-3MT isolated by gel filtration chromatography contained 29 platinum atoms per single GFP-3MT molecule. Electron-dense particles were observed in a GFP-Pt-3MT sample by electron microscopy without negative staining. Further image processing and image analysis demonstrated that particles with higher density relative to their surroundings were detectable in both GFP-Cd-3MT and GFP-Pt-3MT samples. These results demonstrate that replacement of cadmium with platinum, together with proper image analyses, improve detection efficiency and enable the visualization of 3MT-tagged monomeric protein by electron microscopy.

Abstract
A laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)-based methodology is presented for Pt, Cu, and Zn bioimaging on whole kidney 3 μm sagittal sections from rats treated with pharmacological doses of cisplatin, which were sacrificed once renal damage had taken place. Pt turned out to accumulate in the kidney cortex and corticomedullary junction, corresponding to areas where the proximal tubule S3 segments (the most sensitive cells to cisplatin nephrotoxicity) are located. This demonstrates the connection between platinum accumulation and renal damage proved by histological examination of HE-stained sections and evaluation of serum and urine biochemical parameters. Cu and Zn distribution maps revealed a significant displacement in cells by Pt, as compared to control tissues. A dramatic decrease in the Pt accumulation in the cortex was observed when cilastatin was coadministered with cisplatin, which can be related to its nephroprotective effect. Excellent imaging reproducibility, sensitivity (LOD 50 fg), and resolution (down to 8 μm) were achieved, demonstrating that LA-ICP-MS can be applied as a microscopic metal detector at cellular level in certain tissues. A simple and quick approach for the estimation of Pt tissue levels was proposed, based on tissue spiking.

Abstract
Apoptosis plays a central role not only in the physiological processes of kidney growth and remodeling, but also in various human renal diseases and drug-induced nephrotoxicity. We present in a synthetic fashion the main molecular and cellular pathways leading to drug-induced apoptosis in kidney and the mechanisms regulating it. We illustrate them using three main nephrotoxic drugs (cisplatin, gentamicin, and cyclosporine A). We discuss the main regulators and effectors that have emerged as key targets for the design of therapeutic strategies. Novel approaches using gene therapy, antisense strategies, recombinant proteins, or compounds obtained from both classical organic and combinatorial chemistry are examined. Finally, key issues that need to be addressed for the success of apoptosis-based therapies are underlined.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents can produce a variety of acute and chronic organ toxicities. Since many antitumor drugs and their metabolites are cleared renally, the kidneys are vulnerable to injury. The drugs involved will determine the site of injury within the kidney, resulting in clinical manifestations ranging from an asymptomatic rise in serum creatinine to acute renal failure. The most common renal toxicities of chemotherapeutic agents are described.

Abstract
Cisplatin induces apoptosis in a variety of cell types. However, the signaling pathway of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in renal epithelial cells is poorly understood. The present study was undertaken to determine the role of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in cisplatin-induced apoptosis of renal epithelial cells using opossum kidney cells. Cisplatin at 50 microM induced apoptosis in a time-dependent manner. Cisplatin treatment caused sustained activation of ERK1/2, which was prevented by PD98059 and U0126, inhibitors of ERK1/2 upstream kinase MEK1/2. Transient transfection of cells with constitutive active MEK1 increased the cisplatin-induced apoptosis, whereas that with a dominant-negative mutant of MEK1 decreased it. Cisplatin induced an increase in Bax expression, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, mitochondrial cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, and these changes were prevented by the MEK inhibitor. These results suggested that (1) the ERK1/2 activation is required for the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of renal epithelial cells; and (2) ERK1/2 mediates the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic signaling by acting upstream of Bax expression.

Abstract
End-stage renal disease due to proteinuric states has a great impact on the quality of life by necessitating renal replacement therapy. Understanding the pathophysiologic consequences of proteinuria is crucial in order to develop treatment strategies to halt the progression. We have previously reported that cultured porcine proximal tubule cells respond to albumin overload by undergoing apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the differential apoptotic response to albumin in HKC-8 (proximal tubule) and MDCK (collecting/distal tubule) cells under high concentrations of albumin simulating the nephrotic milieu. Our results are consistent with marked cytotoxicity and apoptosis within 24 h of albumin incubation in HKC-8 cells that was closely related to the fatty acid content of the albumin. In contrast, in MDCK cells, albumin stimulated cell turnover by stimulating proliferation and late onset apoptosis regardless of the fatty acid content. Another important result of this study is the direct demonstration of albumin uptake by MDCK cells mediated by endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits. A comparison of albumin uptake between proximal and distal/collecting tubule cells revealed faster uptake in proximal tubule cells within 15 min but almost 100% albumin uptake of both cell types in 1 h. In summary, our findings demonstrate that both proximal and distal nephron segments are affected in proteinuric states, but the degrees of susceptibility to albumin and associated lipid moieties are distinct in the different nephron segments.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. Here we show that cisplatin induces apoptosis in renal collecting duct-derived cells (MDCK-C7 cells, resembling principal cells) in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we studied the role of mitochondria in this process by inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, the F1F(o)-ATP synthase or by uncoupling. The role of intra- and extracellular pH in apoptosis induction was investigated. Activation of caspase-3 and DNA ladder formation were used to monitor the apoptotic response. When cells were incubated with inhibitors of the mitochondrial respiratory chain or an inhibitor of the ATP-synthase, cisplatin-induced apoptosis was markedly enhanced. Mitochondrial blockade led to enhanced production of lactic acid. Also, anoxia potentiated the cisplatin-induced caspase-3 activation. Neither intra- nor extracellular pH had an influence on caspase-3 activation at low cisplatin concentrations. Acidic conditions (pH 6.8) potentiated the caspase-3 activation when high (100 microM) cisplatin concentrations were used. We demonstrate that intact mitochondria are important to prevent cisplatin-induced apoptosis in MDCK-C7 cells and that acidic conditions can aggravate the toxic effects of cisplatin.

Abstract
Time-dependent changes in polyamine metabolism and c-Myc expression are reported in kidney of mice treated with cisplatin, a widely used anticancer drug. We show that cisplatin significantly induces the expression of two enzymes critical to proper homeostasis of cellular polyamines, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT). We also document the cross-talk between signalling pathway(s) induced by cisplatin injury to renal tubules and the testosterone/androgen receptor pathway. Their interaction results in a decrease in testosterone-induced ODC activity and ODC mRNA level, and in differential modulation of SSAT expression. Moreover, cisplatin and antifolate CB 3717, another nephrotoxic drug examined, severalfold up-regulate expression of c-Myc mRNA, albeit with different kinetics. However, cisplatin, contrary to CB 3717, does not induce renal hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met expression being without effect on HGF mRNA level and significantly down-regulating c-Met transmembrane receptor message. In conclusion, these in vivo studies document significant cisplatin-induced modulation of polyamine biosynthesis/degradation and up-regulation of c-Myc expression, and suggest that c-Myc transcription factor is involved in the induction of ODC in kidney injured with antifolate, but not with cisplatin.

Abstract
Although several heavy metal toxins are delivered to the kidney on the carrier protein metallothionein (MT), uncertainty as to how MT enters proximal tubular cells limits treatment strategies. Prompted by reports that MT-I interferes with renal uptake of the megalin ligand β2-microglobulin in conscious rats, we tested the hypothesis that megalin binds MT and mediates its uptake. Three lines of evidence suggest that binding of MT to megalin is critical in renal proximal tubular uptake of MT-bound heavy metals. First, MT binds megalin, but not cubilin, in direct surface plasmon resonance studies. Binding of MT occurs at a single site with a Kd∼10−4and, as with other megalin ligands, depends on divalent cations. Second, antisera and various known megalin ligands inhibit the uptake of fluorescently labeled MT in model cell systems. Anti-megalin antisera, but not control sera, displace >90% bound MT from rat renal brush-border membranes. Megalin ligands including β2-microglobulin and also recombinant MT fragments compete for uptake by megalin-expressing rat yolk sac BN-16 cells. Third, megalin and fluorescently labeled MT colocalize in BN-16 cells, as shown by fluorescent microscopic techniques. Follow-up surface plasmon resonance and flow cytometry studies using overlapping MT peptides and recombinant MT fragments identify the hinge SCKKSCC region of MT as a critical site for megalin binding. These findings suggest that disruption of the SCKKSCC motif can inhibit proximal tubular MT uptake and thereby eliminate much of the renal accumulation and toxicity of heavy metals such as cadmium, gold, copper, and cisplatinum.

Abstract
Cisplatin is widely used in the treatment of human tumors, but it is a nephrotoxic drug. Early pragmatic clinical trials have shown that cisplatin-induced renal toxicity is greatly reduced through the use of high hydration, a large NaCl supply and mannitol infusion, but the precise mechanisms of these nephroprotective measures are not fully understood. We show here an increase in the cisplatin uptake and cytotoxicity on 56/10 A1 human glomerular and HK-2 human tubular cells when the drug incubation was performed in a hypotonic phosphate-buffered saline solution or in human urine ("drag in" transport hypothesis). When 4 mg/kg cisplatin was intraperitoneally injected in rats in 20 ml of a hypotonic 4 g/l NaCl solution, the platinum accumulation increased in both the cortex and papilla but not in the subcutaneously grafted colon tumors when compared to rats injected with cisplatin in normal or hyperosmotic solutions (9 and 14 g/l NaCl, respectively). The urea and creatinine blood levels were significantly increased, and more apoptotic cells were detected by the caspase-3 cleavage and TUNEL assays in the tubular cells of rats treated with cisplatin in a hypotonic solution compared to animals that received normal or hypertonic solutions. Osmolarity was sometimes low in urine from patients receiving an intravenous hydration for a cisplatin treatment or from healthy volunteers who were given an oral hydration with a 50 g/l glucose solution. Our results show that low urine osmolarity could be a major determinant in the increase of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and justify the widely used concurrent infusion of osmotically active substances during intravenous hydration.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested as important mediators of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in vivo. However, our previous studies have shown that cisplatin-induced cell death in vitro could not be prevented by scavengers of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical in rabbit renal cortical slices. This discrepancy may be attributed to differential roles of ROS in necrotic and apoptotic cell death. We therefore examined, in this study, the roles of ROS in necrosis and apoptosis induced by cisplatin in primary cultured rabbit proximal tubule. Cisplatin induced necrosis at high concentrations over a few hours and apoptosis at much lower concentrations over longer periods. Necrosis induced by high concentration of cisplatin was prevented by a cell-permeable superoxide scavenger (tiron), hydrogen peroxide scavengers (catalase and pyruvate), and antioxidants (Trolox and deferoxamine), whereas hydroxyl radical scavengers (dimethythiourea and thiourea) did not affect the cisplatin-induced necrosis. However, apoptosis induced by lower concentration of cisplatin was partially prevented by tiron and hydroxyl radical scavengers but not by hydrogen peroxide scavengers and antioxidants. Cisplatin-induced apoptosis was mediated by the signaling pathway that is associated with cytochrome c release from mitochondria and caspase-3 activation. These effects were prevented by tiron and dimethylthiourea but not by catalase. Dimethylthiourea produced a significant protection against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure, and the effect was associated with an inhibition of apoptosis. These results suggest that hydrogen peroxide is involved in the cisplatin-induced necrosis, whereas hydroxyl radical is responsible for the cisplatin-induced apoptosis. The protective effects of hydroxyl radical scavengers are associated with an inhibition of cytochrome c release and caspase activation.

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
BAP31 is a transmembrane protein that associates with nascent membrane proteins in transit between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cis-Golgi. Its C-terminal dilysine (KKEE) motif, mediating return to the ER, is consistent with a role in early sorting of membrane proteins. An initiator caspase-binding site in the C-terminal domain of BAP31 is implicated in cytoplasmic membrane fragmentation events of apoptosis. Although BAP31 RNA is ubiquitous, the protein's anatomic localization has not been determined. To gain further insight into its possible functions, we localized BAP31 in primate tissues using monoclonal antibodies. Immunoreactivity was prominent in T- and B-lymphocytes in blood and in thymus, in cerebellar Purkinje neuron bodies and dendrites, in gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary, ovarian thecal and follicular cells, active but not quiescent thyroid epithelium, adrenal cortex more than medulla, and proximal more than distal renal tubules. Blood vessels and skeletal muscle were nonreactive. The anatomic distribution of BAP31 and the nature of proteins identified thus far as its cargo exiting the ER, suggest an interaction with proteins assembling in macromolecular complexes en route to selected sites of exocytotic and signaling activities. Apoptotic associations in mature tissues could be physiological (lymphocytes, endocrine cells) or pathological (Purkinje neurons, renal tubules).

Abstract
The effects of a single interaperitoneal dose of cisplatin (6.5 mg kg day(-1)), oral doses of spironolactone (20.0 mg kg day(-1)) for 5 days or the combined treatment (spironolactone+cisplatin) on the kidney function and liver function parameters, as well as the serum, liver and kidney cortical lipid contents were studied. The serum urea and creatinine concentrations (measured as kidney function parameters) were not altered by spironolactone treatment, but were significantly (P<0.001) elevated by cisplatin administration. However, animals exposed to both spironolactone+cisplatin revealed drastic increases in the serum creatinine and urea concentrations amounting to about four- and twofold those of cisplatin-alone treated animals, respectively. The histological examination of slides of kidneys from animals exposed to the combined drugs exhibited more extensive necrosis in the tubules compared to those from animals treated with cisplatin alone. Non of the drug treatments had any effects on the serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels (measured as liver function parameters) or liver protein content or hepatic alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The histological examination also revealed apparently normal livers in all experimental groups. The cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was accompanied by hypercholesterolaemia and hyperphospholipidaemia, whereas spironolactone showed a hypocholesterolaemic effect. The concomitant treatment with both cisplatin and spironolactone significantly (P<0.05) raised the serum triacylglycerol (TAG) concentration compared to the cisplatin-alone-treated group. Both spironolactone and cisplatin administered separately or jointly caused accumulation of cholesterol and TAG in the kidney cortex with significant depletion of the liver cholesterol content. The present results indicated that spironolactone aggravates the cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in the rabbit.

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
Cisplatin intraperitoneal (i.p.) chemotherapy is frequently performed for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, cisplatin penetrates only the surface of the peritoneal tumor and has serious side effects on renal cells. Thus, cisplatin i.p. chemotherapy had been limited to use for these patients. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has been used for reducing the toxic effects of anticancer drugs because of its cytoprotective effects and has been reported to enhance tumoricidal activity of anticancer drugs. In our study, the effects of PGE1 on the rat peritoneal carcinomatosis model treated with cisplatin i.p. chemotherapy were evaluated. Cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was given in an i.p. administration to 70 tumor-free rats. PGE1 was administered to 35 rats through the tail vein at an infusion rate of 0.1 microg/kg/min (1 ml/hr), and the remaining 35 rats were injected with physiological saline. Forty rats were given an i.p. injection of 1 x 10(7) AH100B cells. Ten days after injection, cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was administered with PGE1 to 20 and the remaining 20 were injected with physiological saline. The accumulation of platinum in the tissues and apoptotic renal cells were analyzed. The maximum concentrations of platinum in the kidneys of PGE1 untreated rats (tumor-free: 10.11 microg/g; tumor-bearing: 11.45 microg/g) did not differ from those of platinum in the kidneys of PGE1-treated rats (tumor-free: 10.28 microg/g; tumor-bearing: 13.28 microg/g). The number of apoptotic renal cells was significantly reduced by PGE1 administration in both tumor-free and tumor-bearing rats. Moreover, PGE1 increased the maximum platinum concentration in tumor masses (5.31 microg/g) of the treated group compared with that in tumor mass of the control group (2.72 microg/g, p = 0.009). These results indicate that PGE1 may increase the anticancer effect of cisplatin by increasing tumor platinum concentration and may reduce the chance of cisplatin-induced renal failure. Intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy combined with PGE1 treatment may have a therapeutic benefit for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
