Honokiol, a Polyphenol Natural Compound, Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Acute Cytotoxicity in Renal Epithelial Cells Through Cellular Oxidative Stress and Cytoskeleton Modulations
2018
Cisplatinis a potent anti-cancer drug that has been widely used in the treatment of various cancers; however,
cisplatinadministration results in severe
nephrotoxicityand impedes its clinical applications. In this study, we showed that
honokiol, a polyphenol constituent extracted from
Magnolia officinalisexhibited a short-term protective effect against
cisplatin-induced damages in renal epithelial cells in vitro. The protective effects of
honokiolwere resulted from the combination of (1) reduced cellular oxidative stress ranging from 53%-32% reduction during a 24-hour incubation, (2) the maintenance of cellular antioxidant capacity and (3) the stabilization of cytoskeletal structure of the kidney epithelial cells. By promoting the polymerization of actin (1.6-fold increase) and tubulin (1.8-fold increase) cytoskeleton,
honokiolnot only maintained epithelial cell morphology, but also stabilized cellular localizations of tight junction protein
Occludinand adhesion junction protein E-Cadherin. With stabilized junction protein complexes and structural polymerized cytoskeleton network,
honokiolpreserved epithelial
cell polarityand morphology and thus reduced
cisplatin-induced
cell disruptionand damages. Our data demonstrated for the first time that
honokiolcould counteract with
cisplatin-induced damages in renal epithelial cells in vitro, future in vivo studies would further validate the potential clinical application of
honokiolin
cisplatin-based cancer treatments with reduced
nephrotoxicity.
