Abstract

Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, has a major limitation because of its nephrotoxicity. Recent studies have shown that cisplatin causes apoptotic cell death in renal tubule cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, cisplatin was found to induce apoptosis in a dose- and duration-dependent manner in cultured proximal tubule (LLC-PK1) cells, as evidenced by DNA laddering and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling assay. Pretreatment with the specific caspase 9 inhibitor LEHD-CHO completely prevented the apoptosis, whereas the caspase 8 inhibitor IETD-fmk had no effect. Furthermore, the activity of caspase 9 was upregulated about sixfold by cisplatin in a dose-dependent manner. These results implicated the caspase 9-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. Indeed, cisplatin triggered a duration-dependent translocation of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytosol, by immunofluorescence and Western blots. Cisplatin treatment also resulted in the duration-dependent activation and mitochondrial translocation of the pro-apoptotic molecule Bax, by immunofluorescence. Finally, cisplatin induced a duration-dependent onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition. Our...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
