Nephrotoxicity caused by vancomycin is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Scopoletin attenuates vancomycin-induced renal damage and inflammation by modulating the Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-kappa B/p38 MAPK pathways.
Nephrotoxicity is an indication for the damage of kidney-specific detoxification and excretion mechanisms by exogenous or endogenous toxicants. Exposure to vancomycin predominantly results in renal damage and losing the control of body homeostasis. Vancomycin-treated rats (200 mg/kg/once daily, for seven consecutive days, i.p.) revealed significant increase in serum pivotal kidney function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers. Histologically, vancomycin showed diffuse acute tubular necrosis, denudation of epithelium and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lining tubular epithelium in cortical portion. In the existing study, the conservative consequences of scopoletin against vancomycin nephrotoxicity was investigated centering on its capacity to alleviate oxidative strain and inflammation through streamlining nuclear factor (erythroid-derived-2) like 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling and prohibiting the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B)/mitogen-acti-vated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) pathway. With respect to vancomycin group, scopoletin pretreatment (50 mg/kg/once daily, i.p.) efficiently reduced kidney function, oxidative stress biomarkers and inflammatory mediators. Moreover, histological and immunohistochemical examination of scopoletin-treated group showed remarkable improvement in histological structure and reduced vancomycin-induced renal expression of iNOS, NF-kappa B and p38 MAPK. In addition, scopoletin downregulated (Kelch Like ECH Associated Protein1) Keap1, P38MAPK and NF-kappa B expression levels while upregulated renal expression levels of regulatory protein (I kappa B alpha), Nrf2 and HO-1. Furthermore, molecular docking and network approach were constructed to study the prospect interaction between scopoletin and the targeted proteins that streamline oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. The present investigations elucidated that scopoletin co-treatment with vancomycin may be a rational curative protocol for mitigation of vancomycin-induced renal intoxication.
