    Abstract:
    There is an increasing evidence suggesting that myo-inositol (MI) may be a renoprotective factor. Our previous study revealed that decreased MI concentrations and increased excretion are often observed in animal models of renal injury and in patients with nephropathy. However, the role of MI supplementation in renal injury remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of MI in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). We established a model of acute kidney injury caused by cisplatin (CDDP). Male Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups: Sham (normal saline), CDDP (15 mg/kg), + MI (150 mg/kg), + MI (300 mg/kg), + MI (600 mg/kg) and MI (600 mg/kg). Human renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 cells were likewise separated into six groups at random: Control (normal saline), CDDP (20 µM), + MI (200 µM), + MI (400 µM), + MI (800 µM) and MI (800 µM). After the model was established, renal function indexes were subsequently detected, and experiments such as pathological staining analysis and protein expression analysis were performed. Our results showed that cisplatin administration led to AKI and apoptosis in mice and HK-2 cells, accompanied by markedly increased levels of MIOX, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), whereas exogenous MI significantly attenuated kidney injury and HK-2 cell damage induced by cisplatin both in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting excessive apoptosis. Overall, our findings demonstrate that exogenous MI can reduce excessive apoptosis, thus playing a protective role in cisplatin-induced AKI, indicating that exogenous MI may be used as an adjunctive treatment modality in cisplatin-induced AKI.
