Abstract

The IDH1-R132H mutation is implicated in the development of various tumors. Whether cisplatin, a common chemotherapeutic agent, induces more significant renal toxicity in individuals with the IDH1-R132H mutation remains unclear. In this study, we observed that the IDH1-R132H mutation exacerbates mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and dysfunction in renal tubules, rendering the kidneys more susceptible to cisplatin-induced Ferroptosis. The IDH1-R132H mutation increases methylation of the Ndufa1 promoter, thereby suppressing NDUFA1 transcription and translation. This suppression disrupts NDUFA1's interaction with FSP1, reducing its resistance to cisplatin-induced tubular epithelial cell death. As a consequence, ROS accumulates, lipid peroxidation occurs, and Ferroptosis is triggered, thereby promoting acute kidney injury. In summary, this study elucidates a novel mechanism underlying cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and provides valuable insights for the development of personalized treatment strategies for tumor patients carrying the IDH1-R132H mutation.
