Synergie potentielle entre deux toxiques rénaux: Le DTPA et l'uranium
At present, the most appropriate therapeutic approach to treat an accidental contamination with plutonium and uranium oxyde mixture (MOX) is administration of diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate acid (DTPA) in order to accelerate plutonium excretion. As uranium and DTPA are both nephrotoxic compounds, the administration of DTPA after a contamination containing uranium could enhance the nephrotoxic effects of uranium. The aim of the present work was to study in vitro on a kidney proximal tubule cell line (LLC-PK1) the cytotoxicity induced by increasing concentrations of uranium in presence of 3 different chemical forms of DTPA. The results showed that the DTPA used alone induced no cytotoxicity at the concentration used here (420 ÎŒM). However, this concentration of DTPA increased the cytotoxicity induced by uranium. This increase was maximal for uranium concentrations close to the lethal concentration for 50% of the cells and reached 37, 31 and 28% for anhydrous DTPA, Na3CaDTPA and Na3ZnDTPA, respectively. These results suggest that administration of DTPA could enhance the nephrotoxicity induced by uranium. © 2006 EDP Sciences.Le traitement recommandĂ© en cas de contamination accidentelle par un composĂ© hybride dâoxydes de plutonium et dâuranium (MOX) est lâadministration dâacide diethylĂšne-triamine-pentaacĂ©tate (DTPA) afin dâaccĂ©lĂ©rer lâexcrĂ©tion du plutonium. Lâuranium et le DTPA Ă©tant deux composĂ©s nĂ©phrotoxiques, lâadministration de DTPA consĂ©cutif Ă une contamination par un composĂ© contenant de lâuranium, est susceptible de potentialiser les effets nĂ©phrotoxiques de lâuranium. Lâobjectif de ce travail a Ă©tĂ© dâĂ©tudier in vitro sur une lignĂ©e de cellules tubulaires proximales de rein (LLC-PK1) la cytotoxicitĂ© induite par des concentrations croissantes dâuranium en prĂ©sence ou en absence de 3 formes chimiques de DTPA. Les rĂ©sultats ont montrĂ© que le DTPA, utilisĂ© seul, nâinduisait aucune toxicitĂ© Ă la concentration testĂ©e (420 ”M). Cependant, lâadministration de DTPA augmentait le taux de mortalitĂ© cellulaire induit par lâuranium. Cette augmentation Ă©tait maximale pour les concentrations en uranium proches de la concentration lĂ©tale pour 50 % des cellules et atteignait respectivement 37, 31 et 28 % pour le DTPA anhydre, le Na3CaDTPA et le Na3ZnDTPA. Ces rĂ©sultats suggĂšrent que le DTPA est un composĂ© susceptible de potentialiser la nĂ©phrotoxicitĂ© induite par lâuranium
