  1. Cytostatic drug and radiation associated renal lesions Heinz Regele Department of Pathology

  2. Cytostatic drug and radiation associated renal lesions Cytostatic drugs Cisplatin Clinical: Acute and/or chronic renal failure (Ifosfamide) Histology: Tubulointerstitial injury Radiation Clinical: Acute and/or chronic renal failure Histology: Radiation nephritis/nephropathy

  3. Renal injury in cancer treatment Cytostatic drugs Cisplatin Clinical: Acute and/or chronic renal failure (Ifosfamide) Histology: Tubulointerstitial injury Radiation Clinical: Acute and/or chronic renal failure Histology: Radiation nephritis/nephropathy Bisphosphonates Pamidronate, Zoledronate… Clinical: NS, acute or chronic renal failure Histology: Glomerular injury and/or tubular injury Targeted therapies VEGF blockade Clinical: Proteinuria, acute renal failure Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) Histology: Glomerular injury

  4. Radiation induced kidney lesions • TMA like changes in glomeruli and arteries: • GBM double contours, mucoid intimal swelling • Acute tubular injury • Glomerular scarring • Intimal fibrosis • Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy Radiation nephropathy more appropriate than radiation nephritis

  5. Diagnostic challenges Radiation nephropathy Diagnostic features are non-specific Clinical: Hypertension, proteinuria, edema, urinary casts, reduced GFR Histology: TMA like changes in glomeruli and arteries, acute and chronic tubular injury, glomerular scarring, intimal fibrosis, interstitial fibrosis might be due to many other types of injury Long latency phase after exposure Clinical signs become detectable after months or years Acute radiation nephropathy: 6-12 months Chronic radiation nephropathy: 2-10 years (with or without acute phase) RT is frequently combined with other nephrotoxic agents/conditions Concomitant cytostatic drug therapy Effects of cytostatic drugs, antibiotics or GvHD might aggravate effects of TBI especially after BMT

  7. Schematic risk estimation for kidney injury in partial kidney radiation therapy Dawson LA, Int J Rad Oncol Biol Phys 2010

  8. Renal injury by radiolabeled peptides and antibodies Radionuclide labeled small proteins Somatostatin analogs (octreotide): Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) Upcoming new agents Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (exendin-4): NET Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (bombesin) : Breast and prostate cancer αvβ3 Integrin (aeg-gly-asp (RGD)): Proliferating endothelial cells CCK2 (gastrin) receptor (gastrin-1): Medullary thyroid carcinoma Pool SE, Sem Nucl Med 2010 Hydrophilic radiolabeled peptides are excreted mainly via the kidneys and are partially reabsorbed in proximal tubular cells. Renal retention of therapeutic radionuclides causes a relatively high radiation dose to the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure. Vegt E, J Nucl Med 2010

  9. Cisplatin induced renal injury Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a frequent dose limiting side effect which occurs in about one third of patients undergoing cisplatin treatment. Clinical Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is often seen after 10 days of administration with decreasing glomerular filtration rate, increased serum creatinine, and reduced serum magnesium and potassium levels. Cisplatin and related platinum-based therapeutics are frequently used for the treatment of testicular, head and neck, ovarian, cervical, non-small-cell lung carcinoma and many other types of cancer. Pathophysiology Main targets are (predominantly proximal) tubular epithelial cells. Drug induced cell death occurs via apoptosis and necrosis

  10. Mechanisms of Cisplatin nephrotoxicity Pabla N, KI 2008, KI 2008

  11. Cisplatin induced renal injury Renal (tubular) dysfunction may persist over years especially if cisplatin was combined with ifosfamide. Histology is non-specific and renal biopsies are rarely performed during early stages. Chronic cisplatin nephropathy is however not clearly defined. Effects of multimodal therapy or co-morbidity may be confounders in late biopsies.

  12. Bisphosphonates Only high dose i.v. application of bisphsponates used in malignacy associated bone disorders is associated with nephrotoxicity Bisphosphonates are inhibitors of osteoclast mediated bone resorption. They are frequently used in the treatment of post menopausal osteoporosis and against lytic bone lesions in MM or bone metastases Renal lesions typically occur after several months of treatment indication cumulative injury which was also demonstrated in experimental animals

  17. Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (rTKI)(VEGFR inhibiting) Cook KM, CA Cancer J Clin 2010

  18. Renal side effects of VEGF inhibition Kappers MHW, J Hypertens 2009

  19. High-grade proteinuria (>3.5g/day) upon VEGF inhibition Incidence of high-grade proteinuria with bevacizumab according to dosage and tumor type Wu S, JASN 2010

  20. Renal lesions during VEGF inhibition Izzedine H, Eur J of Cancer 2010

  21. Conditional VEGF gene deletion in podocytes Eremina V, NEJM 2008

  22. VEGF is required for normal GEC function Eremina V, NEJM 2008

  23. Does VEGF inhibition cause podocyte injury? Sugimoto H, J Biol Chem 2003

  24. Studies in whole body and cell specific VEGFR-2 KO mice Does VEGF inhibition directly cause podocyte injury? Normal glomerular function requires paracrine but not autocrine VEGF-VEGFR-2 signaling Sison K, JASN 2010

  25. Summary Biopsies are rarely performed in these conditions, histologic lesions are non-specific and an overlap with other pathologies can be diagnostically confounding I.v. application of bisphosphonates is associated with significant (dose dependent) risk of glomerular (pamidronate) or tubular (zoledronate) nephrotoxicity Renal injury is common in radiation therapy and cytostatic drug treatment especially with platinum based agents and ifosfamide Antiangiogenic therapy targeting VEGF signaling frequently leads to proteinuria and sometimes cause glomerular TMA. Clinical and experimental findings in VEGF inhibition might provide clues to the mechanisms of other types of TMA (preeclampsia…)

  26. Proteinuria and TMA may also be caused by receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (rTKI)
