RÉSUMÉ

Platycodin D (PD) is well known as a potent triterpenoid saponin having various pharmacological activities isolated from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC. (Campanulaceae). We aimed to evaluate protective effect of PD on cisplatin (CDDP)-induced nephrotoxicity. Male ICR mice were allocated into five groups as follows: Negative control, CDDP alone and CDDP with PD (0.1, 1 and 5 mg/kg) treated group. PD was given for three consecutive days before CDDP injection. Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CRE) levels in CDDP alone treated mice were decreased to normal range by pretreatment with PD. It also decreased nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxidation with increased antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in PD pretreated mice. In histopathological examination, pretreatment with PD showed ameliorated renal injury such as intraluminal cast formation and epithelial desquamation. Furthermore, over-expression of nuclear factor-kappa B p65 and apoptotic cells were suppressed by PD pretreatment. Taken together, PD pretreatment might be beneficial to CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity.
