          Abstract

          As drogas nefrotóxicas são responsáveis por aproximadamente 20% dos episódios de IRA em pacientes internados e ambulatoriais. A nefrotoxicidade pela cisplatina é um dos principais fatores limitantes em até 20% dos pacientes que recebem a droga, ocasionando lesões em células do epitélio tubular renal. A toxicidade da cisplatina é determinada pelo tecido-alvo e acúmulo nas células, além da interação com diversas estruturas subcelulares e com macromoléculas. A cisplatina se acumula e interfere com o funcionamento de diferentes organelas, tais como: mitocôndrias, lisossomas, retículo endoplasmático, núcleo e membrana celular, gerando inflamação e morte celular. Esta revisão tem como objetivo definir as bases fisiopatológicas e bioquímicas da nefrotoxicidade da cisplatina, revisando os principais mecanismos moleculares que levam à toxicidade tubular da cisplatina.

          The nephrotoxic drugs have been responsible for about 20% of AKI episodes in inpatients and outpatients. The cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a major limiting factors in 20% of patients who have received the drug, triggering injuries in renal tubular epithelialcells. Cisplatin toxicity is determined by the target tissue and cells accumulation besides the interaction with various subcellular structures and macromolecules. Cisplatin accumulates and interferes with the functioning of different organelles such as mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, nuclei and cell membranes, causing inflammation and cell death. This review aims to define the pathophysiology and biochemistry of the cisplatin nephrotoxicity, reviewing the main molecular mechanisms that lead to tubular cisplatin toxicity.

          Drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

          Drugs are a common source of acute kidney injury. Compared with 30 years ago, the average patient today is older, has more comorbidities, and is exposed to more diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with the potential to harm kidney function. Drugs shown to cause nephrotoxicity exert their toxic effects by one or more common pathogenic mechanisms. Drug-induced nephrotoxicity tends to be more common among certain patients and in specific clinical situations. Therefore, successful prevention requires knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms of renal injury, patient-related risk factors, drug-related risk factors, and preemptive measures, coupled with vigilance and early intervention. Some patient-related risk factors for drug-induced nephrotoxicity are age older than 60 years, underlying renal insufficiency (e.g., glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL per minute per 1.73 m2), volume depletion, diabetes, heart failure, and sepsis. General preventive measures include using alternative non-nephrotoxic drugs whenever possible; correcting risk factors, if possible; assessing baseline renal function before initiation of therapy, followed by adjusting the dosage; monitoring renal function and vital signs during therapy; and avoiding nephrotoxic drug combinations.

            Biomarkers of acute kidney injury.

            The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is usually based on measurements of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine. BUN and serum creatinine are not very sensitive or specific for the diagnosis of AKI because they are affected by many renal and nonrenal factors that are independent of kidney injury or kidney function. Biomarkers of AKI that are made predominantly by the injured kidney have been discovered in preclinical studies. In clinical studies of patients with AKI, some of these biomarkers (eg, interleukin-18, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and kidney injury molecule-1) have been shown to increase in the urine before the increase in serum creatinine. These early biomarkers of AKI are being tested in different types of AKI and in larger clinical studies. Biomarkers of AKI may also predict long-term kidney outcomes and mortality.

              Hydroxyl radical scavenger ameliorates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by preventing oxidative stress, redox state unbalance, impairment of energetic metabolism and apoptosis in rat kidney mitochondria.

              Nephrotoxicity is the major dose-limiting factor of cisplatin chemotherapy. Reactive oxygen species generated in mitochondria are thought to be the main cause of cellular damage in such injury. The present study examined, in vivo, the protective potential of the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethylthiourea (DMTU) against cisplatin-induced effects on renal mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox state and oxidative stress. Adult male Wistar rats (200 to 220 g) were divided into four groups of eight animals each. The control group was treated only with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of saline solution (1 ml/100 g body weight). The second group was given only DMTU (500 mg/kg body weight, i.p, followed by 125 mg/Kg, i.p., twice a day until they were killed). The third group was given a single injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg body weight, i.p.). The fourth group was given DMTU (500 mg/kg body weight, i.p.), just before the cisplatin injection (10 mg/kg body weight, i.p.), followed by injections of DMTU (125 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) twice a day until they were killed. Animals were killed 72 h after the treatment. Besides not presenting any direct effect on mitochondria, DMTU substantially inhibited cisplatin-induced mitochondrial injury and cellular death by apoptosis, suppressing the occurrence of acute renal failure. All the following cisplatin-induced effects were prevented by DMTU: (1) increased plasmatic levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN); (2) decreased ATP content, calcium uptake and electrochemical potential; (3) oxidation of lipids, including cardiolipin; and oxidation of proteins, including sulfhydryl, and aconitase enzyme, as well as accumulation of carbonyl proteins; (4) depletion of the antioxidant defense (NADPH and GSH) and (5) increased activity of the apoptosis executioner caspase-3. Our findings show the important role played by mitochondria and hydroxyl radicals in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, as well as the effectiveness of DMTU in preventing the renal mitochondrial damage caused by cisplatin. These results strongly suggest that protection of mitochondria by hydroxyl radical scavengers may be an interesting approach to prevent the kidney tissue damage caused by cisplatin-chemotherapy.
