Abstract

Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic agent whose therapeutic application is hindered by the associated nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin-evoked nephrotoxicity has been largely attributed to the induction of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. The current study aimed at investigating the ability of ergothioneine to mitigate cisplatin-evoked nephrotoxicity and to elucidate the underlining molecular mechanisms. Wistar rats were treated with a daily dose of ergothioneine (70 mg/kg, po) for fourteen days and a single dose of cisplatin (5 mg/kg, ip) on day ten. On day fifteen, kidneys and blood specimens were collected and subjected to Western blotting, ELISA, histopathological, and spectrophotometric analysis. Ergothioneine significantly enhanced renal function in cisplatin-treated rats as manifested by increased GFR and decreased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Ergothioneine effectively reduced the cisplatin-induced oxidative stress and mitigated apoptosis and the histopathological changes. Mechanistically, ergothioneine induced the expression of the antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2 and up-regulated its downstream targets NQO1 and HO-1. Equally important, ergothioneine inhibited γ-glutamyl transpeptidase that play...Continue Reading

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
