title: The cellular toxicity of two antitumoural agents derived from platinum, cisplatinum versus oxaliplatinum, on cultures of tubular proximal cells.
abstract: There is a large scope for the use for cisplatin and its derivatives in the treatment of human malignancies. Nephrotoxicity is their most important use-limiting factor. The aim of this study has been to compare cisplatin (CDDP) and oxaliplatin (1-OHP), a new derivative, on cultures of tubular proximal cells. Three cells models were used: primary culture of rabbit kidney, proximal tubular cells (RPTC) and established opossum kidney (OK) and pig kidney (LLC-PK1) epithelial cell lines. Results indicate that in these three culture systems, the cytotoxicity-ranking of the two molecules were in agreement with their in vivo nephrotoxicity (CDDP > 1-OHP), but were less cytotoxic for OK and LLC-PK1 cells than for RPTC. Functional and biochemical evaluations in RPTC indicate that toxic effects of platinum derivates are exerted on DNA, protein synthesis and glucose uptake. 1-OHP effect on DNA synthesis seems to be more effective, but induced a more progressive cytotoxicity. Alteration of glutathione-dependent detoxication activities may reflect the occurrence of a lipid peroxidation process. The present study showed that 1) RPTC are more suitable that LLC-PK1 or OK cells for investigating the nephrotoxicity of platinum derivatives; 2) 1-OHP seems to have a more powerful pharmacological effect than CDDP. The toxic effect ratio seems to promise greater safety with 1-OHP than with CDDP.
