| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cisplatin (CDDP) demonstrates potent anti-tumor effects against multiple malignancies; however, a side effect of CDDP treatment is dose-dependent acute kidney injury. Previously, in a mouse model of chronic kidney disease, we reported that repeated mild thermal stimulation confers renal protection, primarily on tubules. In this study, we examined whether mild thermal stimulation before administering CDDP could alleviate CDDP nephropathy. The increase in the creatinine level by CDDP administration and renal histological measurements, including tubular epithelial dropout and cystic enlargement, were ameliorated. This suggests that mild thermal stimulation before CDDP administration may be effective in the alleviation of CDDP nephropathy.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在においてもシスプラチンは優れた抗がん剤として、様々ながん治療に用いられている。しかし、腎障害などの副作用のため使用量が制限されている。古来から病気の治療などに活用されてきた温熱をシスプラチンを投与する前のプレコンディショニングとして活用することで、副作用を軽減できる可能性が考えらえた。
