ABSTRACT
Nephrotoxicity is a major adverse reaction of the anticancer drug, cisplatin. We investigated the renoprotective effects of the α2-adrenoceptor antagonist, yohimbine and selective α2C-adrenoceptor antagonist, JP-1302, in cisplatin-treated Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were given a single intravenous dose of 7.5â¯mg/kg cisplatin and then yohimbine or JP-1302 was administered intraperitoneally at 0.1 or 3â¯mg/kg/day, respectively, for four days. Renal functional parameters, such as blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, creatinine clearance and renal venous norepinephrine concentrations were measured. Kidney tissue damage and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA levels were assessed after the animals were euthanized. Cisplatin treatment aggravated the kidney functional parameters of blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine and creatinine clearance. Renal venous norepinephrine concentrations were also elevated after cisplatin administration. Treatment with yohimbine or JP-1302 clearly ameliorated kidney function and cell apoptosis. These treatments suppressed elevated renal plasma norepinephrine, TNF-α, MCP-1 and cleaved caspase 3 expressions which occurred after administration of cisplatin. These results suggest that yohimbine can prevent cisplatin-induced renal toxicity associated with acute kidney injury by suppressing cytokine expression through α2C-adrenoceptors.
