In a murine model of AKI induced by cisplatin, the administration of PCI-34051, a selective inhibitor of HDAC8, resulted in significant improvement in renal function and reduction in renal tubular damage and apoptosis. Similarly, pharmacological and genetic inhibition of HDAC8 reduced γ-H2AX and enhanced MRE11 expression; conversely, HDAC8 overexpression exacerbated these changes in mRTECs exposed to cisplatin. These results support that HDAC8 inhibition attenuates cisplatin-induced AKI through a mechanism associated with reducing DNA damage and promoting its repair.
