Synergistic effects of mycophenolate mofetil and losartan in a model of chronic cyclosporine nephropathy.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Combined treatments of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and losartan (LSRT) have synergistic effects on various renal diseases through their hemodynamic and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated whether MMF treatment is effective in inhibiting inflammatory processes in chronic cyclosporine A (CsA) nephrotoxicity, and whether combined treatment using MMF and LSRT affords superior protection compared with the respective monotherapies. METHODS:Rats on a low-salt diet were given vehicle (VH group, olive oil, 1 mg/kg per day), CsA (15 mg/kg per day), CsA and LSRT (CsA+LSRT group, 100 mg/L per day), CsA and MMF (CsA+MMF group; 40 mg/kg per day), or CsA, LSRT and MMF (CsA+LSRT MMF group). Control groups received each drug without CsA treatment. Renal function, histologic parameters (arteriolopathy, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration), and mediators of CsA-induced nephrotoxicity (angiotensin-II, osteopontin, and transforming growth factor [TGF]-beta1) were studied. RESULTS:The CsA-treated rats showed decreased renal function and increased histologic parameters compared with the VH-treated rats. The CsA+MMF treatment significantly improved renal function and histopathologic parameters compared with the CsA group, and combined treatment with MMF and LSRT further improved those parameters compared with the CsA+LSRT and CsA+MMF groups. At a molecular level, increased expression of angiotensin II protein, osteopontin, and TGF-beta1 mRNAs in the CsA group were significantly decreased with MMF, and further decrease was observed with the combined treatment using MMF and LSRT. CONCLUSIONS:MMF treatment decreases CsA-induced nephrotoxicity, and combined treatment with LSRT has a synergistic effect in preventing chronic CsA nephrotoxicity.
