Cadmium Transporters in the Kidney and Cadmium-Induced Nephrotoxicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among the organs in which the environmental pollutant cadmium causes toxicity, the kidney has gained the most attention in recent years. Numerous studies have sought to unravel the exact pathways by which cadmium enters the renal epithelial cells and the mechanisms by which it causes toxicity in the kidney. The purpose of this review is to present the progress made on the mechanisms of cadmium transport in the kidney and the role of transporter proteins in cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity.

Protective Effect of Thymoquinone against Nephrotoxicity Induced by Cadmium in Rats
The present study investigated the protective effect of thymoquinone (TQ), against cadmium-induced kidney injury in rats. Cadmium chloride (1.2 mg Cd/kg/day, s.c.), was given for nine weeks. TQ treatment (40 mg/kg/day, p.o.) started on the same day of cadmium administration and continued for nine weeks. TQ significantly decreased serum creatinine, renal malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, and sig...
متن کاملProtective effect of Irvingia gabonensis stem bark extract on cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in rats
Cadmium has been considered a risk factor for humans as it accumulates in body tissues, such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, bones, and reproductive organs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Irvingia gabonensis (IG) against cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity. The study was performed on twenty (20) male rats divided into four groups: control group, cadmium group (4 mg/kg/...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Orthosiphon Stamineus Leaves against Lead Acetate and Cadmium Chloride Induced Renal Dysfunction in Rats
Though our previous study has showed that pretreatment with Orthosiphon Stamineus methanol extract (OSM) prevents gentamycin induced nephrotoxicity. No report has been documented on the effect of Pretreatment of OSM with Cadmium and Lead. Therefore this study aims to investigating the effect of pretreatment with OSM on Cadmium and Lead induced Nephrotoxicity. Nephrotoxicity was induced in Wista...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala Fruit Extract against Oxidative Renal Damage Caused by Cadmium.
Cadmium nephrotoxicity is a serious environmental health problem as it will eventually end up with end stage renal disease. The pathobiochemical mechanism of this toxic heavy metal is related to oxidative stress. This study investigated whether Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract (CNFE) could protect the kidney against oxidative injury caused by cadmium. Initial analysis of the ext...
متن کاملp38 MAPK/HSP25 signaling mediates cadmium-induced contraction of mesangial cells and renal glomeruli.
The environmental pollutant cadmium affects human health, with the kidney being a primary target. In addition to proximal tubules, glomeruli and their contractile mesangial cells have also been identified as targets of cadmium nephrotoxicity. Glomerular contraction is thought to contribute to reduced glomerular filtration, a characteristic of cadmium nephrotoxicity. Because p38 MAPK/HSP25 signa...
