Background: Oxidative stress is involved in cisplatin-nephrotoxicity. However, it has not completely established if reactive nitrogen species and nitrosative stress are involved in this experimental model. The purpose of this work was to study the role of peroxynitrite, a reactive nitrogen specie, in cisplatin-nephrotoxicity using the compound 5,10,15,20-tetrakis ( 4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrinato iron ( III) ( FeTPPS), a soluble complex able to metabolize peroxynitrite.Results: In rats treated with cisplatin ( a single intraperitoneal dose of 7.5 mg/kg body weight), renal nitrosative stress was made evident by the increase in 3-nitrotyrosine on day 3. In addition, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was evident by the histological damage of proximal tubular cells and by the increase in ( a) serum creatinine, ( b) blood urea nitrogen, and ( c) urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and total protein. Cisplatin-induced nitrosative stress and nephrotoxicity were attenuated by FeTPPS-treatment ( 15 mg/kg body weight, intraperitoneally, every 12 hours for 3 days).Conclusions: Nitrosative stress is involved in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Our data suggest that peroxynitrite is involved, at least in part, in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and protein nitration.
