Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) often leads to kidney impairment, limiting its effectiveness in cancer treatment. The lack of mitophagy in proximal tubules exacerbates this issue. Hence, targeting SIRT-3 and PGC1-α shows promise in mitigating CDDP-induced kidney damage. The potential renoprotective effects of linagliptin, however, remain poorly understood. This study represents the first exploration of linagliptin's impact on CDDP-induced kidney impairment in rats, emphasizing its potential role in mitophagic pathways. The experiment involved four rat groups: Group (I) received saline only, Group (II) received a single intraperitoneal injection of CDDP at 6 mg/kg. Groups (III) and (IV) received linagliptin at 6 and 10 mg/kg p.o., respectively, seven days before CDDP administration, continuing for an additional four days. Various parameters, including renal function tests, oxidative stress, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, PGC-1α, FOXO-3a, p-ERK1, and the gene expression of SIRT-3 and P62 in renal tissue, were assessed. Linagliptin improved renal function, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, and decreased IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 expression. Additionally, linagliptin significantly upregulated PGC-1α and PINK-1/Parkin-2 expression while downregulating P62 expression. Moreover, linagliptin activated FOXO-3a and SIRT-3, suggesting a potential enhancement of mitophagy. Linagliptin demonstrated a positive impact on various factors related to kidney health in the context of CDDP-induced impairment. These findings suggest a potential role for linagliptin in improving cancer treatment outcomes. Clinical trials are warranted to further investigate and validate its efficacy in a clinical setting.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
