This study aimed to investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of the effects of apigenin on cisplatin (CP)-induced kidney injury in mice. Apigenin was intraperitoneally administered for 3 consecutive days before CP treatment. We found that apigenin pretreatment significantly attenuated the damage to the kidneys and decreased the levels of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which were increased by CP. Apigenin significantly decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and TGFβ in the kidneys. Additionally, apigenin inhibited the activations of CYP2E1, phospho-NF-κB p65 and phospho-P38 MAPK in CP-induced renal injury. These results suggest that the renoprotective effects of apigenin may be related to the suppressions of oxidative stress and inflammation in CP-induced renal injury in mice.
