Abstract
The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) possesses two key structural features, namely the nucleophilic sulfur and the γ-glutamyl isopeptide bond. The former allows GSH to serve as a critical antioxidant and anti-electrophile. The latter allows GSH to translocate throughout the systemic circulation without being degraded. The kidneys exhibit several unique processes for handling GSH. This includes the extraction of 80% of plasma GSH, in part by glomerular filtration but mostly by transport across the basolateral plasma membrane. Studies on the protective effect of exogenous GSH are summarized, showing the different inherent susceptibility of proximal tubular and distal tubular cells and the impact on pathological or disease states, including hypoxia, diabetic nephropathy, and compensatory renal growth associated with uninephrectomy. Studies on mitochondrial GSH transport show the coordination between the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation in generating driving forces for both plasma membrane and mitochondrial carriers. The strong protective effects of increasing expression and activity of these carriers against oxidants and mitochondrial toxicants are summarized. Although GSH plays a cytoprotective role in most situations, two distinct exceptions to this are presented. In contrast to expectations, overexpression of the mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate carrier markedly increased cell death from exposure to the nephrotoxic chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin (CDDP). Another key example of GSH serving a bioactivation role in the kidneys, rather than a detoxification role, is the metabolism of halogenated alkenes such as trichloroethylene (TCE). Although considerable research has gone into this topic, unanswered questions and emerging topics remain and are discussed.

Sex Difference in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity: Laboratory and Clinical Findings. J Toxicol 2022; 2022:3507721. [PMID: 36263084 PMCID: PMC9576433 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3507721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) as the most important anticancer drug has limited usage due to a lot of side effects such as nephrotoxicity. Additionally, nephrotoxicity is gender/sex-related. There is a variety of experimental studies in association with sex and CP-induced nephrotoxicity. Some studies have reported that female sex is resistant than male sex due to greater antioxidant defense and protective effects of estrogen in females. Other studies have indicated that males are less vulnerable than females due to CP high clearance. Also, various supplementations have revealed conflicting effects in males and females. It is uncovered that sex hormones have determinant roles on the conflicting effects. Some supplements could improve CP-induced nephrotoxicity, but several supplements intensified CP-induced nephrotoxicity, especially in female sex. On the other hand, major clinical studies introduced female gender as a risk factor of CP-induced nephrotoxicity. Although, rare studies evaluated the effect of various supplemental compounds on CP-induced nephrotoxicity in patients underwent CP therapy. Therefore, it requires further investigations to clarify the controversial subject of gender/sex and CP-induced nephrotoxicity in both clinic and laboratory.

Lash LH. Unexpected Enhancement of Cytotoxicity of Cisplatin in a Rat Kidney Proximal Tubular Cell Line Overexpressing Mitochondrial Glutathione Transport Activity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:1993.

Abstract
In previous studies, we identified the two principal transporters that mediate the uptake of glutathione (GSH) from cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix of rat kidney proximal tubular cells. We hypothesized that genetic modulation of transporter expression could markedly alter susceptibility of renal proximal tubular cells to a broad array of oxidants and mitochondrial toxicants. Indeed, we previously showed that overexpression of either of these transporters resulted in diminished susceptibility to several chemicals. In the present work, we investigated the influence of overexpression of the mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate carrier (OGC) in NRK-52E cells on the cytotoxicity of the antineoplastic drug cisplatin. In contrast to previous results showing that overexpression of the mitochondrial OGC provided substantial protection of NRK-52E cells from injury due to several toxicants, we found a remarkable enhancement of cellular injury from exposure to cisplatin as compared to wild-type NRK-52E cells. Despite the oxidative stress that cisplatin is known to cause in the renal proximal tubule, the increased concentrations of mitochondrial GSH associated with OGC overexpression likely resulted in increased delivery of cisplatin to molecular targets and increased cellular injury rather than the typical protection observed in the previous work.

Abstract
Vocal folds, housed in the upper respiratory tract, are important to daily breathing, speech and swallowing functions. Irreversible changes to the vocal fold mucosae, such as scarring and atrophy, require a regenerative medicine approach to promote a controlled regrowth of the extracellular matrix (ECM)-rich mucosa. Various biomaterial systems have been engineered with an emphasis on stimulating local vocal fold fibroblasts to produce new ECM. At the same time, it is imperative to limit the foreign body reaction and associated immune components that can hinder the integration of the biomaterial into the host tissue. Modern biomaterial designs have become increasingly focused on actively harnessing the immune system to accelerate and optimize the process of tissue regeneration. An array of physical and chemical biomaterial parameters have been reported to effectively modulate local immune cells, such as macrophages, to initiate tissue repair, stimulate ECM production, promote biomaterial-tissue integration, and restore the function of the vocal folds. In this perspective paper, the unique immunological profile of the vocal folds will first be reviewed. Key physical and chemical biomaterial properties relevant to immunomodulation will then be highlighted and discussed. A further examination of the physicochemical properties of recent vocal fold biomaterials will follow to generate deeper insights into corresponding immune-related outcomes. Lastly, a perspective will be offered on the opportunity of integrating material-led immunomodulatory strategies into future vocal fold tissue engineering therapies.

Abstract
Purpose: This study investigated the antioxidant effects of whortleberry against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Material and methods: This study included 48 female Sprague–Dawley rats weighing 263.68 ± 8.29 g. The rats were divided into the following six groups, with eight rats in each group: control, ethanol control, whortleberry control, cisplatin control, 16 mg/kg cisplatin +100 mg/kg whortleberry, and 16 mg/kg cisplatin +200 mg/kg whortleberry groups. Biochemical analysis was performed by measuring total oxidant status and total antioxidant status, histopathological analysis was performed by calculating proximal and distal tubule areas (μm2), and immunohistochemical analysis was performed by determining anti-Caspase-3 immunostaining. Differences among the groups were examined using one-way analysis of variance, and p < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Cisplatin treatment decreased the total antioxidant status and increased the total oxidant status and Caspase-3 level. Moreover, it resulted in the dilatation, vacuolization and loss of tubular epithelial cells; and glomerular degeneration and edema in the kidney tissues (p < .05). Treatment with 100 and 200 mg whortleberries increased the total antioxidant status; decreased the total oxidant status and Caspase-3 level and ameliorated distal and proximal tubule degeneration, glomerular degeneration and edema in the kidney tissues (p < .05). Conclusions: Our results indicate that the antioxidant effects of the whortleberry decrease cisplatin-associated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Backgrounds: Cisplatin (CDDP) is a choice of anti-cancer drug for cancer chemotherapy with serious side effects such as nephrotoxicity. It seems that age is an important factor influencing the side effects of CDDP. This study was designed to determine the role of age and gender simultaneously in CDDP induced renal toxicity. Methods: 40 Wistar male and female rats were assigned as 6 groups in 3 different age categories (10, 16, and 20 weeks old). The single dose of CDDP (7.5 mg/kg, ip) was administrated, and a week later measurements were performed. Results: Body weight changes in male (not in female) animals aged 16 and 20 weeks were more than 10 weeks old animals (P<0.05). In male rats, the serum levels of creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and Cr-clearance in aged 10 weeks, normalized kidney weight (KW) in aged 20 weeks, and serum nitrite, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and kidney tissue damage score (KTDS) in rats aged 16 weeks were significantly altered (P<0.05). Gender difference in serum level of Cr, BUN and nitrite, and Cr-clearance were observed in animals aged10 weeks (P<0.05). Conclusion: The side effects of CDDP are gender depended, and may be different at various ages.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors. The most common side effect of CDDP is nephrotoxicity, and many efforts have been made in the laboratory and the clinic to employ candidate adjuvants to CDDP to minimize this adverse influence. Many synthetic and herbal antioxidants as well as trace elements have been investigated for this purpose in recent years and a variety of positive and negative results have been yielded. However, no definitive supplement has so far been proposed to prevent CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity; however, this condition is gender related and the sex hormone estrogen may protect the kidney against CDDP damage. In this review, the results of research related to the effect of different synthetic and herbal antioxidants supplements are presented and discussed with suggestions included for future work.

Abstract
The impact of involuntary exposure to antineoplastic drugs (AD) was studied in a group of nurses in diverse hospitals in Mexico. The results were compared with a group of unexposed nurses. Anthropometric characteristics and the biochemical analysis were analyzed in both groups. Also, lipid peroxidation level (LPX), protein carbonyl content (PCC), and activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were evaluated in blood of study participants as oxidative stress (OS) biomarkers. The group of occupationally exposed (OE) nurses consisted of 30 individuals ranging in age from 25 to 35 years. The control group included 30 nurses who were not occupationally exposed to the preparation and handling of AD and whose anthropometric and biochemical characteristics were similar to those of the OE group. All biomarkers evaluated were significantly increased (P < 0.5) in OE nurses compared to the control group. Results show that the assessment of OS biomarkers is advisable in order to evaluate exposure to AD in nurses.

Abstract
Kidney toxicity is one of the most frequent adverse events reported during drug development. The lack of accurate predictive cell culture models and the unreliability of animal studies have created a need for better approaches to recapitulate kidney function in vitro. Here, we describe a microfluidic device lined by living human kidney epithelial cells exposed to fluidic flow that mimics key functions of the human kidney proximal tubule. Primary kidney epithelial cells isolated from human proximal tubule are cultured on the upper surface of an extracellular matrix-coated, porous, polyester membrane that splits the main channel of the device into two adjacent channels, thereby creating an apical 'luminal' channel and a basal 'interstitial' space. Exposure of the epithelial monolayer to an apical fluid shear stress (0.2 dyne cm(-2)) that mimics that found in living kidney tubules results in enhanced epithelial cell polarization and primary cilia formation compared to traditional Transwell culture systems. The cells also exhibited significantly greater albumin transport, glucose reabsorption, and brush border alkaline phosphatase activity. Importantly, cisplatin toxicity and Pgp efflux transporter activity measured on-chip more closely mimic the in vivo responses than results obtained with cells maintained under conventional culture conditions. While past studies have analyzed kidney tubular cells cultured under flow conditions in vitro, this is the first report of a toxicity study using primary human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells in a microfluidic 'organ-on-a-chip' microdevice. The in vivo-like pathophysiology observed in this system suggests that it might serve as a useful tool for evaluating human-relevant renal toxicity in preclinical safety studies.

Abstract
Objective. Nitric oxide (NO) has numerous important functions in the kidney. The role of NO in cisplatin (CP)-induced nephrotoxicity is not completely understood. This study was designed to determine the role of NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) on the severity of CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Methods. Sixty four male (M) and female (F) Wistar rats were randomly divided into eight groups. The sham groups (group 1, male, n = 6 and group 2, female, n = 6) received saline. Groups 3 (male, n = 8) and 4 (female, n = 8) were treated with L-NAME (4 mg/kg, i.p.), and groups 5 (male, n = 8) and 6 (female, n = 8) received CP (3 mg/kg) for 7 days. Groups 7 (male, n = 8) and 8 (female, n = 8) were treated with L-NAME and CP for 7 days. Results. The CP-alone treated rats showed weight loss and increase in serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr). Coadministration of L-NAME and CP did not improve weight loss, and it increased the levels of BUN and Cr in male but not in female rats (P < 0.05). CP alone increased kidney damage significantly (P < 0.05
), however, the damage induced by combination of CP and L-NAME was gender-related. Conclusion. NOS inhibition by L-NAME increased CP-induced nephrotoxicity, which was gender-related.

Abstract
In a previous study, E47 HepG2 cells that overexpress human CYP2E1 were shown to be more sensitive to cisplatin than C34 cells that do not express CYP2E1. In this study, we found that this sensitivity was due to an earlier activation of ERK in the E47 cells compared to the C34 cells. Glutathione depletion by L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) enhanced cisplatin cytotoxicity via increasing production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of ERK. In contrast, elevation of glutathione by glutathione ethyl ester (GSHE) decreased cisplatin/BSO cytotoxicity by decreasing ROS production and ERK activation. Inhibition of ERK activation by U0126 protected against cisplatin/BSO cytotoxicity via inhibiting ROS production but not restoring intracellular glutathione content. Examination of the mode of cell death showed that U0126 inhibited cisplatin-induced necrosis but not apoptosis. Cisplatin-induced apoptosis was caspases-dependent; BSO switched cisplatin-induced apoptosis to necrosis via decreasing activity of caspases, and GSHE switched cisplatin/BSO-induced necrosis back to apoptosis through maintaining activity of caspases. Similar to GSHE, U0126 partially switched cisplatin/BSO induced necrosis to apoptosis via restoring activity of caspases. Cisplatin lowered levels of thioredoxin, especially in the presence of BSO. Although U0126 failed in restoring intracellular glutathione levels, it restored thioredoxin levels, which maintain the activity of the caspases. These results suggest that thioredoxin can replace glutathione to promote the active thiol redox state necessary for caspase activity, and thus glutathione and thioredoxin regulate the mode of cisplatin toxicity in E47 cells via redox regulation of caspase activity.
