Cisplatin (CP)-induced nephrotoxicity hampers its application in clinic. Green tea, particularly its predominant polyphenolic constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties. The present study was designed to investigate the protective effects of EGCG against CP-induced nephrotoxicity in mice. Male C57/BL6 mice in different groups received single injection of CP (20 mg/kg) and EGCG (100 mg/kg) in various sets and kidney tissues and blood were collected after killing. Then, samples were used for biochemical and immunohistochemical assay. Our results showed EGCG decreased biochemical factors and immunohistochemical damage induced by CP. Besides, expression of phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), caspase-12, and apoptosis of kidney were decreased by EGCG via inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis.
