Abstract
Cisplatin is used widely for the treatment of multiple solid tumors. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is caused by renal accumulation of cisplatin via human organic cation transporter 2 (hOCT2). As lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is known to inhibit hOCT2 activity, lansoprazole might ameliorate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. A previous study showed that concomitant lansoprazole administration ameliorated nephrotoxicity in patients receiving cisplatin. However, the detailed mechanism remains to be clarified. In the present study, the drug-drug interaction between lansoprazole and cisplatin was examined using hOCT2-expressing cultured cells and rat renal slices. Moreover, the effect of lansoprazole on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin in rats was investigated. In the uptake study, lansoprazole potently inhibited the uptake of cisplatin in hOCT2-expressing cultured cells and rat renal slices. The in vivo rat study showed that concomitant lansoprazole significantly ameliorated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and reduced the renal accumulation of platinum up to approximately 60% of cisplatin alone at 72 h after cisplatin intraperitoneal administration. Furthermore, the renal uptake of platinum at 3 min after intravenous cisplatin administration in rats with cisplatin and lansoprazole decreased to 78% of rats with cisplatin alone. In addition, there was no significant difference in the plasma platinum concentration between rats treated with and without lansoprazole at 3 min after cisplatin intravenous administration. These findings suggested that concomitant lansoprazole ameliorated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by inhibiting rOCT2-mediated cisplatin uptake in rats, thus decreasing cisplatin accumulation in the kidney. The present findings provided important information for the establishment of novel protective approaches to minimize cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
