We evaluated the effect of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) blockade on cisplatin-induced apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Cisplatin induced apoptosis in PC/9 and PC-9/CDDP in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with specific TXA2 antagonist, calcium 5(Z)-1R,2S,3S,4S-7-[3-phenylsulfonylaminobicyclo[2,2,1]hept-2-yl]- 5-heptonoate hydrate (S-1452) and 5(Z-6-[(1R,2R,3R,4S)-3-(N-4-bromobenzenesulfonyl aminomethyl) bicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-yl]-hex-5-enoic acid (ONO-NT-126), enhanced the cisplatin-induced apoptosis in each cell line. Acetyl-L-aspartyl-glutamyl-valyl-aspart-1-aldehyde (Ac-DEVD-CHO) inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis and enhancement of the apoptosis by TXA2 blockade, but acetyl-L-tyrosyl-valyl-alanyl-aspart-1-aldehyde (Ac-YVAD-CHO) had no effect on the apoptosis. There was no difference in the interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE) protease protein expression in either cell line. Cysteine protease p32(CPP32) protein expression was lower in PC-9/CDDP but was not changed by S-1452, cisplatin, or cotreatment with cisplatin and S-1452. Ice and Ced-3 homolog (ICH-1L) expression was significantly lower in PC-9/CDDP and was up-regulated by S-1452 or ONO-NT-126. These data suggest that ICH-1L might play a critical role in cisplatin-induced apoptosis and that TXA2 blockade up-regulates ICH-1L protein expression. Overexpression of ICH-1L and treatment with cisplatin might result in an increase in apoptosis in NSCLC cell lines.

PAR2 promotes malignancy in lung adenocarcinoma.

Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) is closely linked to tumor malignancy, but its biological role in cancer remains underexplored. In this study, we assessed PAR2 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and normal lung tissues, analyzed associations between clinicopathological features and survival rates, and confirmed that PAR2 promotes apoptosis resistance and reduces cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in lung cancer cells. Using TCGA datasets, western blotting, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry (IHC), we observed a significant increase in PAR2 levels in LUAD samples compared to normal tissues (P<0.

Background: Cisplatin is an anti-cancer drug used to treat a plethora of solid tumors. However, it is associated with dose dependent nephrotoxicity limiting its use as anticancer agent.
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the nephroprotective effect of native Lebanese Cannabis sativa in both in vitro and in vivo mice model of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase 2 supports leucine catabolism to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and alleviate cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

Department of Urology, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Zhuhai, China.
Background: Cisplatin is widely used in clinical practice, but its nephrotoxicity severely limits its use. Previous studies have shown that cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is closely related to mitochondrial damage and that alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction can alleviate cisplatin-induced AKI. Methylcrotonyl‑CoA carboxylase 2 (MCCC2) is mainly located in mitochondria, where it catalyzes the catabolism of leucine and maintains mitochondrial function; however, the role of MCCC2 in cisplatin-induced renal injury has not yet been studied.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome with no effective treatment currently available. This study aims to investigate whether Iron-Quercetin complex (IronQ) pretreatment can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in AKI and explore the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A cisplatin-induced AKI model was established in male C57BL/6 mice, followed by the intravenous administration of 1x10ˆ6 MSCs or IronQ-pretreated MSCs (MSC).

The development of anti-tumor drugs with hepatoprotective properties has always been highly valued due to their dual capabilities of safeguarding the liver and combating tumors. Moreover, when used in conjunction with specific chemotherapy drugs, they can enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment while simultaneously reducing liver damage caused by chemotherapeutic agents. Our research focused on oleanolic acid (OA), a natural compound known for its liver-protective effects.
