Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug broadly used in the treatment of solid tumors. However, patients under this chemotherapy develop severe adverse effects, being nephrotoxicity the most frequent. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity has been associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Morin, a rather abundant flavonoid, presents antioxidant properties and, at the same time, decreases viability in some tumor cells. Taking into account these facts, it has been hypothesized that morin could attenuate cisplatin-induced kidney injury without interfering with antineoplastic activity of cisplatin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential cytoprotective effect of morin against cisplatin-induced damage in the Lilly Laboratories cell-porcine kidney 1 (LLC-PK1) cell line. In addition, the effect of pretreatment with morin on the toxicity of cisplatin on human urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma T24 cell line was investigated. It was found that 200 μM morin attenuates cisplatin-induced damage on LLC-PK1 cells in a heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) dependent-way. Moreover, it was found that 200 μM morin alone, decreases T24 cell viability in the same proportion as cisplatin. However, when T24 cells were pretreated with morin, the cell viability did not change compared to the cells treated only with cisplatin.
