    Abstract

    Cisplatin (CIS) is an effective chemotherapy against different solid cancers. However, the adverse effects, including hepatotoxicity, limit its clinical use. 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) possesses antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities, but its protective effect against CIS hepatotoxicity has not been investigated. This study evaluated the effect of 7-HC on liver injury, oxidative stress (OS), and inflammation provoked by CIS. Rats received 7-HC (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) orally for 2 weeks followed by intraperitoneal injection of CIS (7 mg/kg) at day 15. CIS increased serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and bilirubin and provoked tissue injury accompanied by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO). Liver nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65, inducible NO synthase (iNOS), pro-inflammatory cytokines, Bax, and caspase-3 were upregulated, and antioxidant defenses and Bcl-2 were decreased in CIS-treated rats, while 7-HC prevented liver injury and ameliorated OS, inflammatory and apoptosis markers. In addition, 7-HC enhanced nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase (HO)-1 in CIS-administered rats and in silico studies revealed its binding affinity toward HO-1. In conclusion, 7-HC protected against CIS hepatotoxicity by mitigating OS and inflammatory response and modulating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
