  • From the root of Angelica decursiva-albiflora Yook, which has been used as a folk medicine for a sedative, analgesic and expectorant, four free coumarins, e.g., decursidin(I), decursin(II), umbelliferone(III) and nodakenetin(IV), and two coumarin glycosides, e.g., nodakenin(V) and decuroside I(VI) were isolate. The cytotoxicity of nodakenin(V) against L-1210 leukemia cells was less effective than cisplatin, but in the nephrotoxicity against rabbit kidney proximal tubular cell nodakenin(V) showed remarkably less nephrotoxicant than cisplatin.

  • Mercuric chloride, a model nephrotoxicant was used to elucidate time- and dose- dependent global gene expression changes associated with proximal tubular toxicity. Rat kidney cell lines NRK-52E cells were exposed for 2, 6 and 12 hours and with 3 different doses of mercuric chloride. Cell viability assay showed that mercuric chloride had toxic effects on NRK-52E cells causing 20% cell death (IC20) at $40{\mu}M$ concentration. We set this IC20 as high dose concentration and 1/5 and 1/25 concentration of LC20 were used as mid and low concentration, respectively. Analyses of microarray data revealed that 738 genes were differentially expressed (more than two-fold change and p<0.05) by low concentration of mercuric chloride at least one time point in NRK-52E cells. 317 and 2,499 genes were differentially expressed at mid and high concentration of mercuric chloride, respectively. These deregulated genes showed a primary involvement with protein trafficking (CAV2, CANX, CORO1B), detoxification (GSTs) and immunity and defense (HMOX1, NQO1). Several of these genes were previously reported to be up-regulated in proximal tubule cells treated with nephrotoxicants and might be aid in promoting the predictive biomarkers for nephrotoxicity.
