Abstrakt: •A cross-talk has emerged between ET-1/ETAR and VDR in cisplatin nephrotoxicity.•BQ-123 attenuated cisplatin nephrotoxicity by reducing ET-1 and ETAR expression.•Co-targeting ET-1 and VDR provided greater renoprotection than targeting ET-1.•Alfacalcidol augmented the renoprotective effect of BQ-123.•Alfacalcidol and BQ-123 downregulated ET-1/ETAR and upregulated ETBR/VDR
