Cisplatin
Cisplatin (cisplatinum or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum
(II), CDDP) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic drug

enzymes such as aminopeptidase N (AP-N), renal dipeptidase (RDP), and cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase (CS
lyase) in this toxificant pathway has been reported. The
following sequence has been proposed: after cisplatinGSH
conjugates are secreted into the proximal tubule lumen and
cleaved by GGT, a cysteineglycine conjugate is formed
and then cleaved by the cell surface aminopeptidases,
AP-N, or RDP, to a cysteine conjugate, which is then
reabsorbed into proximal tubular cells and finally metabolized by CS lyase to toxic reactive thiols resulting in
nephrotoxicity (Hanigan et al. 1994; Townsend and Hanigan 2002; Townsend et al. 2003; Zhang and Hanigan 2003).
The inhibition of CS lyase with amino oxyacetic acid was
protective in mice treated with 15 mg/kg cisplatin (Townsend and Hanigan 2002); however, opposing data have been
reported. According to a more recent study, AP-N, RDP,
and CS-lyase inhibition were non-protective against nephrotoxicity in mice treated with 10 mg/kg cisplatin and/or in
rats treated with 6 mg/kg cisplatin (Wainford et al. 2008).
A second-generation platinum-protecting disulfide drug
named BNP7787 (disodium 2,2-dithio-bis-ethane sulfonate, dimesna, TavoceptTM) was developed to specifically
inactivate the toxic platinum species found in normal
organs in order to reduce or prevent common toxicities of
platinum chemotherapeutic drugs (Hausheer et al. 1998).
BNP7787 is selectively taken up by the kidneys where it is
converted into mesna (Ormstad and Uehara 1982).
BNP7787 may accumulate in renal tubular cells, where it
can exert its protective effects against cisplatin-induced
nephrotoxicity by direct covalent conjugation of mesna
with cisplatin (Hausheer et al. 2011a). Besides the formation of this inactive adduct with cisplatin, other mechanisms might be involved in the protection: (a) inhibition of
GGT, (b) inhibition of AP-N, and (c) inhibition of CS
lyase (Hausheer et al. 2010, 2011b). Additionally, it was
reported that BNP7787 does not interfere in the antitumor
activity of cisplatin in human ovarian cancer cell lines in
vitro or in nude mice bearing human ovarian cancer
xenografts (Boven et al. 2002). The drug is currently
undergoing global Phase III studies (Hausheer et al. 2011a).

et al. 1996). More recently, several studies have demonstrated that both the mechanisms of cell death are induced
by cisplatin in vivo (Baek et al. 2003; Tsuruya et al. 2003;
Wang and Lippard 2005). The relative contribution of both
types of cell death, apoptosis, and necrosis, to cisplatin
nephrotoxicity has not been established yet (Bonegio and
Lieberthal 2002; Faubel et al. 2004). However, apoptosis
has been in the spotlight in the last years. Necrosis has been
mainly associated with high doses of cisplatin, severe
mitochondrial damage, and ATP depletion, whereas
apoptosis is a process dependent on ATP energy and
therefore associated with the milder mitochondrial alterations resulting from therapeutic doses (Lieberthal et al.
1998; Ueda et al. 2000; Hanigan and Devarajan 2003;
Wang and Lippard 2005).
Different apoptotic pathways are triggered by cisplatin
in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC). The main reported
pathways are (a) the intrinsic pathway, which is triggered
by mitochondria and (b) the extrinsic pathway, which is
mediated by TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor/ligand
and Fas (APO -1 or CD95)/Fas ligand systems (Ramesh
and Reeves 2002). Additionally, the endoplasmic reticulum
stress (ER stress) pathway has also been demonstrated in
cisplatin-induced apoptosis in RTEC (Liu and Baliga
2005). The mechanisms of nephrotoxicity induced by

Cisplatin can trigger the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through different stimuli such as increased ROS
generation and the activation of pro-apoptotic proteins
(Hanigan and Devarajan 2003), which permeabilize the
outer mitochondrial membrane and induce the release of
cytochrome c (Lee et al. 2001; Park et al. 2002), AIF (Seth
et al. 2005) and Omi/HtrA2 (Cilenti et al. 2005).
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered a key event in
cisplatin-induced renal damage. Decline in membrane
123
electrochemical potential, disturbance in calcium homeostasis, reduced ATP synthesis, and impaired mitochondrial
respiration have been demonstrated in kidneys of rats
treated with cisplatin (Santos et al. 2007; Rodrigues et al.
2010).
It is known that cisplatin can damage complexes I, II,
III, and IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain,
increasing the generation of superoxide anions at complexes I, II, and III. Superoxide anions might originate
hydroxyl radicals by partial reduction catalyzed by transition metals, mainly iron (Fenton reaction) (Kruidering et al.
1994, 1997; Turrens 2003; Yao et al. 2007). Hydroxyl
radicals are very strong oxidants, and their induction has
been demonstrated in kidneys of rats treated with cisplatin
(Matsushima et al. 1998; Santos et al. 2008). The oxidative
damage induced by cisplatin has been associated with
depletion of the non-enzymatic (GSH and NADPH) and the
enzymatic antioxidant defense system (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione transferase, and glutathione reductase) in rat kidneys
(Hannemann et al. 1991; Sadzuka et al. 1992; Antunes
et al. 2000; Kadikoylu et al. 2004). Lipoperoxidation,
oxidation of cardiolipin, oxidation of sulfhydryl protein,
increased carbonylated proteins levels, decreased activity
of aconitase, cytochrome c release, increased activity of
caspase-9, and caspase-3 have also been associated with
the renal damage induced by cisplatin (Kaushal et al. 2001;
Park et al. 2002; Santos et al. 2007). Cytochrome c is
attached to the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), and
its release occurs due to the loss of the mitochondrial
membrane integrity. The mitochondrial membrane is a
target of the oxidative species that attack proteins and
lipids, particularly the anionic phospholipid cardiolipin,
located in IMM. As cardiolipin holds cytochrome
c attached to IMM, its oxidation contributes to cytochrome
c release to cytosol (Petrosillo et al. 2003). Cardiolipin is
also a target of caspase-2 and Bid, a pro-apoptotic protein
from the Bcl2 family, which promotes a link between the
extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways, since it is activated by caspase-8 (extrinsic pathway) and acts on mitochondria promoting the apoptotic intrinsic pathway
(Enoksson et al. 2004; Campbell et al. 2008; El Sabbahy
and Vaidya 2011). Besides increasing mitochondrial ROS
generation, cisplatin activates the pro-apoptotic proteins
Bax and Bak, upstream mitochondrial injury. These proteins induce the permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane and therefore, cytochrome c release and
caspases activation (Lee et al. 2001; Park et al. 2002;
Cullen et al. 2007). The nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin
is attenuated in Bax/Bak-knockout cells and in Bax-deficient mice (Jiang et al. 2006; Wei et al. 2007a). Erythropoietin (EPO), a renal cytokine which regulates
hematopoiesis, has been shown to reduce apoptosis during
cisplatin nephrotoxicity by the up-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins expression, down-regulation of pro-apoptotic
protein levels, and reduction of caspase-3 activity (RjibaTouati et al. 2012).
Besides the apoptosis dependent of caspases activation,
cisplatin can also trigger a mitochondrial mediated and
caspase-independent apoptotic pathway through the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a protein located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and present in renal

Conclusion
Given the importance of cisplatin chemotherapy and the
unsatisfactory results of the conventional protection measures, many studies have focused on protective strategies
targeting the main molecular mechanisms of cisplatin toxicity, which have been delineated so far. Encouraging results
have been found in vitro and in animal models, but the lack of
data regarding the effects of the cytoprotectors on the antitumor activity of cisplatin allied with the lack of continuity of
these preliminary findings, which rarely reach clinical trials,
has prevented the clinical application of the compounds
reported as effective. Therefore, convincing evidence that
simultaneous tumor protection does not occur should be
provided and extensive clinical trials should be conducted to
confirm the beneficial effects in man. Additionally, the better
understanding of the multiple interconnected pathways of
nephrotoxicity might reveal selective modulators or events
to be targeted by the future cytoprotectors. Finally, the
design and development of improved molecules based on the
structure of the reported protective compounds will also
contribute to obtain cytoprotectors with increased safety as
well as selectiveness toward specific targets.
