Abstract

Objective: Cisplatin (CDDP) has been widely used for chemotherapy against tumours. However，the nephrotoxicity has limited its clinical use. Here, we reported a novel compound, Capilliposide A (CPS-A), to exhibit therapeutic effects on CDDP-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and explored its potential mechanisms via transcriptome and metabolome.

Materials and methods: HK-2 cells were treated with CPS-A, after which cell viability, Apoptosis and inflammation were investigated. A mouse model of AKI was constructed by single injection of CDDP in vivo. The renal function and morphology and mitochondrial function were assessed by pathological section and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Transcriptomics and metabolomics are used to explore possible mechanisms which was later verified in vitro.

Results: CPS-A administration improved the survival rates of HK-2 cells with a significant decrease in the expression of KIM-1, NGAL, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1β. In vivo results also suggested that CPS-A attenuates CDDP-induced kidney injury by reducing serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Furthermore, TEM also showed the improvement of mitochondrial ultrastructure both in vivo and vitro. Transcriptomics analysis of the mice's renal cortex indicated the expression of ATF4 and CHOP were upregulated, which was further validated by qPCR and Western blotting in vitro. Integrative analysis of transcriptome and metabolome indicated that L-Leucine enriched in Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation might be potential targets.

Conclusions: CPS-A can effectively regulate endogenous metabolites associated with amino acid metabolism and ameliorate Apoptosis and oxidative stress in CDDP-induced AKI by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress.
