Description
We investigated an acute kidney injury (AKI) model in rats induced by cisplatin (Cp) administration. The cisplatin is widely used since its biochemical and histopathological characteristics are representative of drug-induced AKI in humans. Male Wistar rats were dosed once ip with 0, 1 and 3 mg/kg cisplatin. Tubular necorsis was observed histopathologically in all treated rats and war recovery on day 26. Gene expression profiling of the kidney cortex with microarrays 3, 5, 8, and 26 days after single administration of 3mg/kg Cp revealed a major profile pattern characterized by maximally increased and decreased mRNA levels on day 8, with clear changes already found 3 days after treatment for about half of the mRNAs. The mRNA expression pattern after administration of 1mg/kg Cp was overall similar, yet with a dose-dependent smaller fold-change. In summary we found 274 mRNAs showing significantly altered levels in the kidney of which 162 were increased and 112 decreased, respectively. Functional interpretation of the proteins encoded by these mRNAs revealed induction of a DNA damage response likely caused by the known molecular activity of Cp as DNA alkylating agent. Increased mRNAs associated with apoptosis (encoded by the corresponding genes like B-cell lymphoma 3-encoded protein, Bcl3; mouse double minute 2 homolog, Mdm2; p21/WAF1 also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1), cell cycle regulation (encoded by the corresponding genes like Cyclin-G1, Ccng1; B-cell translocation gene 2, Btg2) and stress response may have partly been induced by the DNA damage, but also by the kidney damage associated with Cp administration. Increased levels of mRNAs indicating regeneration (encoded by the corresponding genes like SPARC- related modular calcium-binding protein 2, Smoc2; Tenascin C, Tnc) and decreased levels of mRNAs coding for proteins related to kidney function, indicating dedifferentiation, are likely related to the observed kidney injury.

Description
We investigated a drug-induced liver injury (DILI) model in rats induced by methapyrilene (MPy) administration. MPy, a former antihistamine and anticholinergic drug, was withdrawn in the 1970ties due to its ability to initiate hepatocarcinogenesis and is now used to induce hepatobiliary injury and biliary epithelial cell hyperplasia. Male Wistar rats (810 weeks old, weighing 170200 g) were randomly assigned to three dosing groups (n=6 per group and time-point) and dosed with MPy at 0, 30 and 80 mg/kg/day by oral gavage. After 4, 8 or 15 days, or after 14 days followed by a recovery period of 10 days (day 24) rats were sacrificed. Increased levels of ALAT, ASAT, AP and -GT as well as bili-t and total bile acids indicated liver damage (AP and GT indicating biliary effects). They were detectable on day 7 at the high dose of 80 mg/kg MPy and persisted until day 15 at end of treatment. Histopathologically, vacuolation and necrosis of the hepatocytes (predominantly in the periportal region) were seen starting on day 3 - especially in animals treated with 80 mg/kg MPy. These findings were accompanied by periportal mononuclear inflammatory cell filtration. Bile duct proliferation, bile duct hyperplasia and increased numbers of mitoses of hepatocytes were evident at all treatment time points. The frequency and severity of these findings increased with dose and duration of the treatment. Gene expression analysis in liver tissues revealed highly significant transcriptional changes in the high dose group, detectable on day 4 and intensifying over time. Besides genes associated with apoptosis (CASP4, CASP12), detoxification (CYB4B) and proliferation (p21, CCNG1) several were related to bile acid metabolism or transport. For example, bile acid exporters OATP1, NTCP, OATP4 and MOAT1/ OATPB as well as the putative bile acid metabolizing enzymes AMACR, BAAT and ACOX2 were found down regulated in response to MPy treatment. In contrast, mRNAs encoding putative bile acid importers MRP2 and ABCC4 / MRP4 were found up regulated. Most of the deregulated levels returned to control values during the recovery phase except OATP1, MOAT1/ OATPB, which remained slightly elevated. Interestingly, OATP4 followed an inverse trend of deregulation after 10 days of recovery, presumably due to overcompensation. Overall, the expression changes found associated with bile acid metabolism or transport could be linked to detected bile acid level alterations in liver and plasma.

Description
We investigated a glomerulonephritis (GN) model in rats induced by nephrotoxic serum (NTS) which contains antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). The anti-GBM GN model in rats is widely used since its biochemical and histopathological characteristics are similar to crescentic nephritis and Goodpasture's disease in humans. Male Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were dosed once with 1, 2.5 and 5 ml/kg nephrotoxic serum (NTS) or 1.5 and 5 ml/kg NTS, respectively. GN and tubular damage were observed histopathologically in all treated rats after 14 days.

Description
The activation of the transcription factor Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) plays an essential role in tumor development, tumor progression and resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy. In order to identify compounds targeting the HIF pathway, a small-molecule library was screened using a luciferase-driven HIF-1 reporter cell line under hypoxia. The high throughput screen led to the identification of a class of aminoalkyl-substituted compounds that inhibited hypoxia-induced HIF-1 target gene expression in human lung cancer cell lines at low nanomolar concentrations but did not affect expression levels of genes outside of the HIF-1 pathway. Lead structure BAY 87-2243 was found to inhibit HIF-1 protein accumulation under hypoxic conditions in NSCLC cell line H460 but had no effect on HIF-1 protein accumulation and HIF target gene expression in RCC4 cells lacking VHL activity or in H460 cells after inhibition of HIF prolyl hydroxylase activity. BAY 87-2243 had no effect on HIF--mRNA levels. Antitumor activity of BAY 87-2243 and suppression of HIF-1 target gene expression in vivo was demonstrated in a H460 xenograft model. BAY 87-2243 did not inhibit cell proliferation under standard conditions. However under glucose depletion, a condition favoring mitochondrial ATP generation as energy source, BAY 87-2243 inhibited cell proliferation in the nanomolar range. Further experiments revealed that BAY 87-2243 inhibits mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by blocking complex I activity but has no effect on complex III activity. Lowering of mitochondrial ROS production to reduce hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activity in tumors might be an interesting therapeutic approach to overcome chemo- and radiotherapy-resistance of hypoxic tumors.
