Although the underlying mechanisms of CP-associated hepatotoxicity have been widely explored, the characteristics of early biochemical and molecular responses following acute exposure remain incompletely defined. The present study aimed to examine early alterations in oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis-related pathways following acute CP exposure and to evaluate their potential relevance for subsequent hepatotoxic progression. In this study, early alterations in oxidative balance, inflammatory mediators, and apoptosis-related proteins were examined in rat liver tissue after single-dose CP administration at 5, 7.5, and 12 mg/kg. Liver samples collected 3 days post-treatment were analyzed using ELISA-based assays, routine biochemical methods, and Western blotting for Bax and Bcl-2 expression. The results indicated a dose-related disruption of redox homeostasis, evidenced by elevated lipid peroxidation markers and reduced antioxidant activity. In parallel, pro-inflammatory cytokines showed an increasing trend across treatment groups. Apoptotic signaling was also affected, with enhanced Bax expression and reduced Bcl-2 levels, particularly at higher doses. These molecular findings were accompanied by increases in liver-associated enzyme activities. Overall, the data suggest that acute CP exposure induces measurable early changes at the biochemical and molecular levels in hepatic tissue. These alterations may represent initial responses associated with the development of hepatotoxicity. However, further studies incorporating extended observation periods and structural analyses are needed to better define the temporal progression and mechanistic relevance of these findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":485,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry (Moscow), Supplement Series B: Biomedical Chemistry","volume":"20 2","pages":"188 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148807538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biomarkers were measured using chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) on the Mindray CL-1000i system.

Inflammation, besides deranged mineral metabolism, plays a role in the pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease. The present study investigated the relationship between IL-6 an important pro-inflammatory cytokine, and Klotho an anti-aging protein with renoprotective function in diabetic kidney disease progression. A study was carried out on 60 patients with ESRD caused by diabetic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis and 40 apparently healthy control individuals. IL-6 and Klotho serum levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Some biochemical indicators, such as intact parathyroid hormone, 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, blood urea, and creatinine, were also measured. The main findings (mean ± SE) showed that the levels of IL-6 and iPTH levels were considerably higher in DKD patients (18.360 ± 2.323 pg/mL; 239.222 ± 24.073 pg/dL) than in controls (4.341 ± 0.393 pg/mL; 26.077 ± 1.609 pg/dL), indicating persistent inflammation and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Conversely, serum 1.25(OH)₂D₃ and Klotho levels were considerably lower in the DKD group (14.911 ± 0.991 ng/dL and 213.500 ± 25.905 pg/mL, respectively) than in controls (29.125 ± 1.195 ng/dL and 453.587 ± 33.797 pg/mL), indicating kidney function impairment and mineral metabolism disturbance. There was a notable weak inverse relationship between IL-6 and Klotho (<i>r</i> = –0.271, <i>p</i> = 0.036). This suggests that Klotho low levels may increase inflammatory responses and adversely affect renal function.
