Background: Cisplatin (CP) is used to treat various solid tumors but associated with nephrotoxicity, which varies dose and duration. Vitex Agnus castus (VAC) berries, known for their anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties, may alleviate CP-induced renal toxicity. Objective: To investigate the gender-specific responses cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity evaluate VAC extract's nephroprotective effects. Methods: Four-month-old Wistar rats (n=36) (24 male, 12 female) were used. In phase 1, gender-based differences in assessed. The gender group higher was selected 2 VAC's properties. Animals randomly grouped as Normal Control (6 males & 6 females), CP females) received (7 mg/kg bw) injection, (received 165 bw 7 days daily), CP+VAC (CP injection followed by orally days).

ABSTRACT Aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication in treatment of cisplatin, which a clinically effective and classical anticancer drug. Orphan Nuclear Receptor Nur77 has been found to promote renal ischaemia–reperfusion injury. In this study, we aim explore effects on cisplatin‐induced AKI (CI‐AKI) its underlying mechanism. Methods HK‐2 cells treated with cisplatin were used construct CI‐AKI model vitro. Cell viability cell proliferation analysed using CCK‐8 EdU assays, respectively. apoptosis was by flow cytometry. The inflammation release level detected ELISA. Molecular abundance evaluated qPCR, Western blot immunofluorescence. interaction between SERPINA3 clarified ChIP dual‐luciferase reporter gene assays. Results Our works demonstrated that expression considerably ascended cells. silence alleviated cisplatin‐stimulated injury, characterised increased proliferation, decreased inflammatory cytokine release. addition, promotes transcription binding promoter region (−182 −175), thereby upregulating activating Wnt/β‐catenin pathway. Moreover, induced notably inhibited knockdown Nur77. Furthermore, efficacy downregulation antagonised overexpression. Conclusion Taken together, our findings revealed resisted through lessening mediated transcriptional regulation inactivating

Nephrotoxicity is common when cisplatin used and hydration during treatment nephroprotective, but the optimal volume, composition, duration are unknown. We reviewed our institutional intravenous regimen (total 2500 mL in 5 hours versus previously 3000 7 hours) >50 mg/m2 schemes we aimed to confirm safety of this change by prospectively evaluating incidence acute kidney injury (AKI). included 105 patients cohort. However, for comparison, only considered 96 cases 191 controls (ratio 2:1), due impossibility matching all cases. The proportion without Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI stage ≥2 (serum creatinine ≥2.0-2.9 times baseline) was 100.0% (n=96) after first 97.8% (n=88) second There no difference compared with historical cohort who received previous (p=1 p=0.92 treatment). reason discontinuation three (2.9%). Our results support a shorter lower volume treatment, which more comfortable allows better health resource allocation.

Abstract Ellagic acid (EA) is a polyphenol extracted from many plants. EA modulates inflammatory mediators via antioxidant mechanisms, such as catalase (CAT) activities, superoxide dismutase (SOD), enhancement, increase in glutathione (GSH), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) suppression. has anti‐apoptotic properties that are thought to be mediated by regulating the expression of B‐cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‐2), Bcl‐2‐associated X protein (Bax), caspase‐3. In this article, we surveyed literature dealing with protective effects against different heavy metals, drugs, natural toxins. The findings indicated remarkable various toxicants. Its were mostly normalizing metabolism, oxidative stress, mediators, for example, tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), IL‐1β. results study showed significant varied range compounds, either chemical or natural. These mainly intensifying defense system. However, other mechanisms inhibition responses suppression apoptosis important.

We aim summarize the existing literature on AKI with spectrum systemic conventional chemotherapies, newer immunotherapies, growing number therapies, which may be both ‘pseudo-AKI’. Recent findings Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapies (e.g. cisplatin other platinum-based agents, methotrexate, pemetrexed, ifosfamide, etc.) well recognized nephrotoxicities (predominantly tubulointerstitial injury) remain widespread use. Immunotherapies (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors CAR-T therapies) immune-related adverse events, most often interstitial nephritis, rarely, glomerular disease.
