Metabolomics for the early detection of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin, which is an inorganic molecule containing a platinum ion, is an antineoplastic agent that has been used to treat various solid tumors. However, its side effects include nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, bone marrow toxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, and ototoxicity, which can limit its use. In this study, nephrotoxicity was caused by the intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin into rats, and then metabolome analysis was performed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to find plasma metabolite biomarker candidates that would facilitate the early detection of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. As a result, chronological changes were detected in the plasma levels of cysteine-cystine and 3-hydroxy-butyrate in the GC/MS-ba
