  • Title: Nicotine Exposure Augments Renal Toxicity of 5-aza-cytidine Through p66shc: Prevention by Resveratrol.
    Author: Arany I, Hall S, Faisal A, Dixit M.
    Journal: Anticancer Res; 2017 Aug; 37(8):4075-4079. PubMed ID: 28739690.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND/AIM: We have shown that either chronic nicotine (NIC) exposure or 5-aza-cytidine (AZA) augments oxidative stress-dependent injury through stimulating p66shc in renal cells. Hence, NIC could exacerbate adverse effects of AZA while antioxidants such as resveratrol (RES) could prevent it. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Renal proximal tubule cells (NRK52E) were treated with 20 μM RES prior to 200 μM NIC plus 100 nM AZA and cell injury (LDH release) was determined. Reporter luciferase assays determined p66shc activation and RES-induced antioxidant responses. Genetic manipulations identified the mechanism of RES action. RESULTS: NIC exacerbated AZA-dependent injury via augmenting p66shc transcription. While RES suppressed NIC+AZA-mediated injury, -surprisingly-it further enhanced activity of the p66shc promoter. RES protected cells via the cytoplasmic p66shc/Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis. CONCLUSION: RES can protect the kidney from adverse effects of NIC in patients undergoing anticancer therapy.
