  • Title: Effect of cisplatin on proximal straight tubule transport of divalent cations in the rabbit.
    Author: Wong NL, Sutton RA, Dirks JH.
    Journal: Nephron; 1988; 49(1):62-6. PubMed ID: 3380220.
    Abstract:
    Clearance and in vitro microperfusion studies were performed in rabbits to determine the effect of cisplatin on proximal straight tubule transport of calcium and magnesium. Rabbits were injected with cisplatin (2.5 mg/kg i.p. once weekly) for 3 weeks, whereas control rabbits received normal saline solution which served as a diluent for cisplatin. In 5 rabbits, 24-hour clearance studies were performed with the aid of a metabolic cage. Following cisplatin treatment, fractional excretion of magnesium rose significantly (73.3 +/- 11.5 vs. 111.4 +/- 17.5%). Glomerular filtration rate fell with cisplatin treatment (4.05 +/- 0.76 vs. 2.81 +/- 28 ml/min). There was no difference in fractional excretion of calcium (26.3 +/- 9.5 vs. 22.7 +/- 3.2%). The cortical and juxtamedullary proximal straight tubules were perfused in vitro. Net volume absorption was the same in the control and cisplatin-treated rabbits. However, there was a significant reduction in JCa (cortical 0.57 +/- 0.10 vs. -0.10 +/- 0.12 pmol/min/mm; juxtamedullary 0.96 +/- 0.17 vs. 0.31 +/- 0.37 pmol/min/mm) and JMg (cortical 0.43 +/- 0.08 vs. -0.15 +/- 0.07 pmol/min/mm; juxtamedullary 0.40 +/- 0.27 vs. -0.30 +/- 0.28 pmol/min/mm). In contrast to chronic administration, acute addition of cisplatin into the bath had no effect on JCa and JMg in the cortical and juxtamedullary proximal straight tubules. These data indicate that chronic but not acute cisplatin treatment depresses the transport of calcium and magnesium in the cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons of the proximal straight tubule of the rabbit.
