1 Interleukin-6 plays a protective role in development of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure through upregulation of anti-oxidative stress factors. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
2 We previously reported that cisplatin induced more severe renal dysfunction in interleukin-6 (IL-6) knockout (IL-6(-/-)) mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
3 We previously reported that cisplatin induced more severe renal dysfunction in interleukin-6 (IL-6) knockout (IL-6(-/-)) mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
4 We previously reported that cisplatin induced more severe renal dysfunction in interleukin-6 (IL-6) knockout (IL-6(-/-)) mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
5 Expression of a pro-apoptotic protein was significantly increased with cisplatin in IL-6(-/-) mice compared to that in WT mice. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
6 IL-6, locally expressed in renal tubular cells after cisplatin administration, prevents the development of renal dysfunction at an early stage. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
7 In the present study, we focused on downstream signals of IL-6 and oxidative stress induced by cisplatin in order to evaluate the protective role of IL-6 in the development of acute renal failure. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
8 KEY FINDINGS: Cisplatin increased the expression of 4-HNE and cox-2, and phosphorylation of ERK in IL-6(-/-) mice than in WT mice. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
9 On the other hand, activity of superoxide dismutase, an anti-oxidative enzyme, was significantly decreased in the kidney obtained from IL-6(-/-) mice after cisplatin administration. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
10 SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings suggest that IL-6 plays a protective role in the development of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure through upregulation of anti-oxidative stress factors. Cisplatin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
