title: Effect of cisplatin on calcium uptake by rat kidney cortical mitochondria.
abstract: The effect of the nephrotoxic antineoplastic drug, cisplatin, on mitochondrial calcium uptake was examined in rat kidney cortical mitochondria. We treated rats with cisplatin (5 mg/kg, i.p.), and prepared and incubated the mitochondria. Uptake of calcium decreased after 24 h. The mitochondria contained platinum even 3 days after injection. Cisplatin (0.5 mM) added to incubation medium inhibited calcium uptake. Platinum accumulated in the mitochondria during incubation. Mitochondria accumulated less of another divalent cation, magnesium, in rats given cisplatin and in incubation medium with cisplatin added. The results suggest that cisplatin taken up into kidney cortical mitochondria inhibited divalent cation uptake there, which may contribute to cisplatin nephrotoxicity.
