Blocking P-selectin protects from ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal failure. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Acute renal failure (ARF) in response to ischemia-reperfusion is thought to be associated with neutrophil infiltration. Neutrophil recruitment depends on adhesion molecules, including P-selectin. Our study sought to characterize the role of P-selectin in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced acute renal failure (ARF). In wild-type (wt) and P-selectin-deficient (P-/-) mice (both C57BL/6), ARF was induced by 32 min bilateral renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion (I/R). Wt showed a 12- and 20-fold increase in creatinine at 24 and 48 h after I/R, respectively. Similar changes were seen in blood urea nitrogen (BUN). By contrast, in P-/- creatinine and BUN increased only moderately (fourfold over sham). In wt, renal myeloperoxidase activity, indicating neutrophil infiltration, peaked after 24 h (19-fold over sham). This was significantly attenuated in P-/- (fivefold over sham). Western blot analysis revealed maximum P-selectin expression 12 h after I/R in wt. Immunostaining detected P-selectin in glomerular endothelium and in platelets adherent in glomerular and peritubular vessels. Postischemic injection of P-selectin antibody at 10 min after reperfusion, but not isotype control antibody, protected wt from ARF similar to the protection seen in P-/-. We conclude that blocking P-selectin even after onset of reperfusion protects mice from I/R-induced ARF, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies aimed at blocking P-selectin. 相似文献

Neutrophils may contribute to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by generating reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs). ROIs activate nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, which regulates genes for cytokines with negative inotropic effects (interleukin [IL]-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-alpha). We investigated the impact of neutrophil depletion on NF-kappaB DNA binding activity, and expression of these cytokines during myocardial I/R injury. Male WKY rats (n = 28) received a single dose of antineutrophil antiserum (i/v). Twenty two hours later, when the peripheral blood neutrophil counts were profoundly decreased (94% reduction), the animals underwent 15 min of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation followed by reperfusion for 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 6 h (n = 4/group). Saline-treated animals underwent a similar protocol, and served as controls (n = 28, 4/group). Neutrophil accumulation, defined by myeloperoxidase activity, was present in controls, but not in anti-PMN antisera-treated animals (at least p <0.05 at 1, 2, 3, and 6 h R). Despite this difference, in both saline- and antiserum-treated animals, the GSH levels were very similar and fell significantly (p < 0.0001) at 15 min R; the levels increased gradually over time. In contrast, GSSG levels rose at 15 and 30 min R (p < 0.05), and declined thereafter. NF-kappaB DNA binding activity increased in both groups at 15 min and again at 3 h of R. Both NF-kappaBp50 and p65 subunits were detected by supershift assay. In saline-injected controls both mRNA and protein for IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha were detected at 1 h R; levels remained high until 3 h, then fell (except IL-6, which was elevated at 6 h). In neutropenic animals, however, a significant decrease in mRNA (at least 1.7-fold, p < 0.05) as well as protein levels (at least 2. 3-fold, p < 0.01) for all three cytokines was observed. Thus, while neutrophils had minimal effects on oxidative stress (GSH/GSSG) and oxidative stress-responsive NF-kappaB activity, they contributed significantly to myocardial cytokine expression. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are likely candidates for involvement in ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute renal failure (ARF). In this study, the issue of whether superoxide dismutase (SOD1)-deficiency exacerbates the ischemia/reperfusion-induced ARF was examined. At two weeks after a right nephrectomy of mice, the left renal vessels were clipped to induce renal ischemia and were then released after 45 min. The severe renal damage observed at one day was partially recovered at seven days after the induction of ischemia. SOD1- / - mice suffer from severe ARF compared with SOD1+/ - and SOD1+/+ mice. The damage was more evident in aged animals (24-28 week old) than younger ones (10-12 week old). The expression of major antioxidative and redox enzymes, except for CuZnSOD, were substantially unchanged. Thus, the increased ARF in SOD1- / - mice appears to be mainly attributable to a deficiency in CuZnSOD. These data support the view that ROS are exacerbating factors in ischemia/reperfusion-induced ARF. 相似文献

Contribution of two independent MDM2-binding domains in p14(ARF) to p53 stabilization 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The MDM2 protein targets the p53 tumor suppressor for ubiquitin-dependent degradation [1], and can function both as an E3 ubiquitin ligase [2] and as a regulator of the subcellular localization of p53 [3]. Oncogene activation stabilizes p53 through expression of the ARF protein (p14(ARF) in humans, p19(ARF) in the mouse) [4], and loss of ARF allows tumor development without loss of wild-type p53 [5] [6]. ARF binds directly to MDM2, and prevents MDM2 from targeting p53 for degradation [6] [7] [8] [9] by inhibiting the E3 ligase activity of MDM2 [2] and preventing nuclear export of MDM2 and p53 [10] [11]. Interaction between ARF and MDM2 results in the localization of both proteins to the nucleolus [12] [13] [14] through nucleolar localization signals (NoLS) in ARF and MDM2 [11] [12] [13] [14]. Here, we report a new NoLS within the highly conserved amino-terminal 22 amino acids of p14(ARF), a region that we found could interact with MDM2, relocalize MDM2 to the nucleolus and inhibit the ability of MDM2 to degrade p53. In contrast, the carboxy-terminal fragment of p14(ARF), which contains the previously described NoLS [11], did not drive nucleolar localization of MDM2, although this region could bind MDM2 and weakly inhibit its ability to degrade p53. Our results support the importance of nucleolar sequestration for the efficient inactivation of MDM2. The inhibition of MDM2 by a small peptide from the amino terminus of p14(ARF) might be exploited to restore p53 function in tumors. 相似文献

We have induced acute renal failure (ARF) in barbiturate anesthetized rabbits, through warm ischaemia of 30 or 60 min duration caused by transient bilateral occlusion of renal arteries. In this model we have monitored some renal performance parameters, before and 4 hours after reperfusion, aiming to characterize ARF in this animal species. Glomerular filtration rate (determined by the inulin clearance technique) was of 9.74 +/- 0.48 ml min-1 in 4 rabbits before injury and declined by 91% (60 min ischemia) during the first reperfusion hour. In 6 rabbits undergoing 30 min occlusion, pre-ARF values of 10.70 +/- 0.98 ml min-1 declined by 47%. In both groups no recovery was observed in the following hours. Tubular enzymes (alanine-amino-peptidase, AAP and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, NAG) were released into urines before injury at the rate of 1.11 +/- 0.18 and 1.32 +/- 0.41 mU min-1, respectively, in the 30 min model (3 animals/group). During ARF, maximal AAP output was five-fold increased (5.83 +/- 0.35 mU min-1), whereas NAG was unmodified. On the other hand, renal haemodynamics in 5 rabbits did not change after the ischaemic procedure: total renal blood flow (44 +/- 5 ml min-1) and renal vascular resistances (225 +/- 26 Pa ml-min) displayed less than 10% variations throughout the reperfusion period. We concluded that ARF in rabbits can be reliably and reproducibly monitored and that the pathogenesis of the disease, in our situation, is attributable mainly to tubular cell damage and not to impairment of the vascular component of renal performance. 相似文献

Hypothermic protection of the ischemic heart via alterations in apoptotic pathways as assessed by gene array analysis. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Hypothermia improves resistance to ischemia in the cardioplegia-arrested heart. This adaptive process produces changes in specific signaling pathways for mitochondrial proteins and heat-shock response. To further test for hypothermic modulation of other signaling pathways such as apoptosis, we used various molecular techniques, including cDNA arrays. Isolated rabbit hearts were perfused and exposed to ischemic cardioplegic arrest for 2 h at 34 degrees C [ischemic group (I); n = 13] or at 30 degrees C before and during ischemia [hypothermic group (H); n = 12]. Developed pressure, the maximum first derivative of left ventricular pressure, oxygen consumption, and pressure-rate product (P < 0.05) recovery were superior in H compared with in I during reperfusion. mRNA expression for the mitochondrial proteins, adenine translocase and the beta-subunit of F1-ATPase, was preserved by hypothermia. cDNA arrays revealed that ischemia altered expression of 13 genes. Hypothermia modified this response to ischemia for eight genes, six related to apoptosis. A marked, near fivefold increase in transformation-related protein 53 in I was virtually abrogated in H. Hypothermia also increased expression for the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 homologue Bcl-x relative to I but decreased expression for the proapoptotic Bcl-2 homologue bak. These data imply that hypothermia modifies signaling pathways for apoptosis and suggest possible mechanisms for hypothermia-induced myocardial protection. 相似文献

Recovery from acute renal failure (ARF) requires the replacement of injured cells with new cells that restore tubule epithelial integrity. We described recently the expression of a wide range of nephrogenic proteins in tubular cells after ARF induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) (Villanueva S, Cespedes C, and Vio CP. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 290: R861-R870, 2006). These markers, namely, Vimentin, neural cell adhesion molecules (Ncam), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), paired homeobox-2 (Pax-2), bone morphogene protein-7 (BMP-7), Noggin, Lim-1, Engrailed, Smad, phospho-Smad, hypoxia-induced factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), VEGF, and Tie-2, are expressed in a time frame similar to that observed in normal kidney development. bFGF participates in early kidney development as a morphogen involved in mesenchyme/epithelial transition, and it is reexpressed in the recovery phase of ARF. To test the hypothesis that bFGF can accelerate the regeneration after renal damage, we used recombinant bFGF and studied the expression pattern of the above described morphogens in ARF. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min of renal ischemic injury and were injected with bFGF 30 microg/kg followed by reperfusion. Rats were killed and the expression of nephrogenic proteins were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. In the animals subjected to I/R treated with bFGF, we observed a 12- to 24-h earlier and more abundant reexpression of the proteins Ncam, bFGF, Pax-2, BMP-7, Noggin, Lim-1, Engrailed, VEGF, and Tie-2 than the I/R untreated rats. In addition, we observed a reduction in renal damage markers ED-1 and alpha-smooth muscle actin. These results indicate that bFGF can participate in the regeneration process and suggest that the treatment with bFGF can induce an earlier regeneration process after ischemic acute renal failure. 相似文献

The current study examined angiotensin receptor (ATR) regulation in proliferating rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in culture. Radioligand competition analysis coupled with RNase protection assays (RPAs) revealed that angiotensin type 1a receptor (AT(1a)R) densities (B(max)) increased by 30% between 5 and 7 days in culture [B(max) (fmol/mg protein): day 5, 379 +/- 8.4 vs. day 7, 481 +/- 12, n = 3, P < 0.05] under conditions in which no significant changes in AT(1a)R mRNA expression occurred [in RPA arbitrary units (AU): day 5, 0.23 +/- 0.01 vs. day 7, 0.24 +/- 0.04, n = 4] or in mRNA synthesis determined by nuclear run-on assays [AU: day 5, 0.35 +/- 0.14 vs. day 7, 0.33 +/- 0.11, n = 5]. In contrast, polysome distribution analysis indicated that AT(1a)R mRNA was more efficiently translated in day 7 cells compared with day 5 [% of AT(1a)R mRNA in fraction 2 out of total AT1R mRNA recovered from the sucrose gradient: day 5, 20.9 +/- 9.9 vs. day 7, 56.8 +/- 5.6, n = 3, P < 0.001]. Accompanying the polysome shift was 50% less RNA-protein complex (RPC) formation between VSMC cytosolic RNA binding proteins in day 7 cells compared with 5-day cultures and the 5' leader sequence (5'LS) of the AT(1a)R [5'LS RPC (AU): day 5, 0.62 +/- 0.15 vs. day 7, 0.23 +/- 0.03; n = 4, P < 0.05] and also with exon 2 [Exon 2 RPC (AU): day 5, 35.0 +/- 5.7 vs. day 7, 17.2 +/- 3.6; n = 4, P < 0.05]. Taken together, these results suggest that AT(1a)R expression is regulated by translation during VSMC proliferation in part by RNA binding proteins that interact within exon 2 in the 5'LS of the AT(1a)R mRNA. 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed for the determination of 8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-4H-imidazo-[1,5-a]-[1,4]-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide [I] and its 4-hydroxy metabolite, 8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-4H-imidazo-[1,5-a][1,4]-benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide [II] in whole blood, plasma or urine. The assay for both compounds involves extraction into diethyl ether—methylene chloride (70:30) from blood, plasma, or urine buffered to pH 9.0. The overall recoveries of [I] and [II] are 92.0 ± 5.4% (S.D.) and 90.3 ± 4.9% (S.D.), respectively. The sensitivity limit of detection is 50 ng/ml of blood, plasma, or urine using a UV detector at 254 nm. The HPLC assay was used to monitor the blood concentration—time fall-off profiles, and urinary excretion profiles in the dog following single 1 mg/kg intravenous and 5 mg/kg oral doses, and following multiple oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day of compound [I]. 相似文献

A gene (arf) encoding an α-l-arabinofuranosidase (ARF) that hydrolyzes arabinose substituted on xylan was isolated from Penicillium sp. The gene was predicted to encode 339 amino acid residues showing 71–75% homology to GH family 54. E. coli expressed ARF showed optimal activity at 50°C and pH 5–6 on wheat arabinoxylan. The hydrolysis activities on oat spelt xylan
by ARF and xylanase were 1.67-fold higher than that of xylanase alone. The synergistic effects of ARF and commercial enzymes
(xylanase and cellulase) on popping-pretreated rice straw were 1.15–1.51-fold higher amounts of sugars released in the [ARF + xylanase + cellulase]
mixture than in the mixtures [ARF + xylanase], [ARF + cellulase], and [xylanase + cellulase]. Moreover, the liberation of
arabinose by ARF was enhanced 2.1–2.9-fold in a reaction with xylanase and cellulase as compared with [xylanase + cellulase]
and ARF alone. 相似文献

Expression of type I and III procollagen genes was studied in embryonic chicken myoblast cell cultures, obtained from thigh muscles of 11-day-old embryos. Differentiation initiated by the addition of ovotransferrin (30 micrograms/ml) was followed visually by phase-contrast microscopy. Myoblast fusion and myotube formation were detected by day 3 and appeared to be complete by day 7. The synthesis of procollagens was monitored by labeling cell cultures for 1 h with [3H]proline and determining the radioactivity in procollagen chains by scanning densitometry of the fluorograms of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. A 10- to 20-fold increase in the rate of pro alpha-1(I), pro alpha-2(I), and pro alpha-1(III) collagen synthesis was observed, with the greatest increase occurring between days 3 and 9. Collagen mRNA levels in the myoblast cultures were examined by Northern blot and dot blot hybridization assays. The 10- to 20-fold increased rate of protein synthesis was accompanied by a 15-fold increase in the steady-state levels of pro alpha-1(I) and pro alpha-2(I) mRNAs and a 10-fold increase in the steady-state levels of pro alpha-1(III). As a correlate to the studies of collagen expression during myoblast differentiation, the expression of actin mRNAs was examined. Although alpha actin could be detected by day 4, a complete switch from lambda and beta to alpha actin was not observed in the time periods examined. Similar results were obtained in the analysis of RNA extracted from embryonic legs at days 12 and 17 of gestation. Myoblast differentiation is manifested by the accumulation of both muscle-specific mRNAs, such as actin, and type I and III procollagen mRNAs. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitory drugs, Tadalafil and Sildenafil, on inducible NOS (iNOS), endothelial NOS (eNOS) and p53 genes expressions and apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced oxidative injury in rat renal tissue. Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats (300-350?g) were divided into four groups. In ischemia/reperfusion group, rats were subjected to renal ischemia by clamping the left pedicle for 60?min, and then reperfused for 90?min. On the other hand, in other two groups the rats were individually pretreated with Tadalafil and Sildenafil 1?h before the induction of ischemia. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is determined in renal tissue homogenates by high-performance liquid chromatography, the number of apoptotic cell were calculated by TUNEL method and p53 and eNOS expression were detected with immunohistochemistry. On the other hand, myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels were measured by spectrophotometric method and the mRNA level of iNOS in renal tissue was determined by Real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Our results indicate that MDA and MPO levels were increased in the I/R group than those in the control group. Both Tadalafil and Sildenafil treatment decreased the MDA levels in ischemia/reperfusion group, whereas this effect was more potent with Sildenafil. RT-PCR results showed that, iNOS gen expression increased in the I/R group, but decreased in the PDE5 inhibitory drugs treated group. Apoptotic cells, eNOS levels and p53 positive cells were also decreased in PDE5 inhibitory drugs treated group. We suggest that Tadalafil and Sildenafil have beneficial effects against I/R related renal tissue injury and this protective effect is clearer for Sildenafil than Tadalafil. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Damaged and/or dysfunctional microvascular endothelium has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). Rapidly occurring changes in the endothelial F-actin cytoskeleton as observed in vitro might be responsible, but have been proven difficult to measure accurately in situ. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine several methods of digital image analysis in order to quantify the alterations of endothelial F-actin after renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), and to relate these to deterioration of renal function. METHODS: Frozen sections of Sham and I/R rat kidneys were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and stained with rhodamine-phallo?din. Microvascular structures were captured using a 3i Marianastrade mark digital imaging fluorescence microscope workstation. Images were analyzed using 3i SlideBooktrade mark software, employing several masking techniques and line-scans. RESULTS: Digital image analysis demonstrated a decrease in the mean intensity of rhodamine-phallo?din fluorescence after I/R from 1030 +/- 187 to 735 +/- 121 a.u. (arbitrary units, mean +/- SD, n = 7). The number of F-actin fragments per pixel increased from (15.8 +/- 4.9) x 10(-5) to (20.7 +/- 3.5) x 10(-5) (n = 7), indicating cytoskeletal fragmentation. In addition, line-scan analysis demonstrated a disturbed spatial orientation of the F-actin cytoskeleton after I/R. Finally, the loss of F-actin correlated with a rise in plasma creatinine. CONCLUSIONS: The methods of digital image analysis described in the present study demonstrate that renal I/R induces profound changes in the F-actin cytoskeletal structure of microvascular endothelial cells, implicating an injured and dysfunctional microvascular endothelium, which may contribute to acute renal failure (ARF). 相似文献

Ischemic pre-conditioning protects the kidney against subsequent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). This study investigated the role of cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1), a producer of NADPH, in the ischemic pre-conditioning. Mice were pre-conditioned by 30 min of renal ischemia and 8 days of reperfusion. In non-pre-conditioned mice 30 min of ischemia had significantly increased the levels of plasma creatinine, BUN, lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide in kidneys, whereas in pre-conditioned mice, the ischemia did not increase them. The reductions of reduced glutathione and NADPH after I/R were greater in non-pre-conditioned mice than in pre-conditioned mice. Ischemic pre-conditioning prevented the I/R-induced decreases in IDH1 activity and expression, but not in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. In conclusion, protection of the kidney afforded by ischemic pre-conditioning may be associated with increased activity of IDH1 which relates to increased levels of NADPH, increased ratios of GSH/total glutathione, less oxidative stress and less kidney injury induced by subsequent I/R insult. 相似文献

Activation of cardiac STAT3 by IL-6 cytokine family contributes to cardioprotection. Previously, we demonstrated that IL-11, an IL-6 cytokine family, has the therapeutic potential to prevent adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction; however, it remains to be elucidated whether IL-11 exhibits postconditioning effects. To address the possibility that IL-11 treatment improves clinical outcome of recanalization therapy against acute myocardial infarction, we examined its postconditioning effects on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to ischemia (30 min) and reperfusion (24 h), and IL-11 was intravenously administered at the start of reperfusion. I/R injury mediated the activation of STAT3, which was enhanced by IL-11 administration. IL-11 treatment reduced I/R injury, analyzed by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining [PBS, 46.7 ± 14.4%; IL-11 (20 μg/kg), 28.6 ± 7.5% in the ratio of infarct to risk area]. Moreover, echocardiographic and hemodynamic analyses clarified that IL-11 treatment preserved cardiac function after I/R. Terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining revealed that IL-11 reduced the frequency of apoptotic cardiomyocytes after I/R. Interestingly, IL-11 reduced superoxide production assessed by in situ dihydroethidium fluorescence analysis, accompanied by the increased expression of metallothionein 1 and 2, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. Importantly, with the use of cardiac-specific STAT3 conditional knockout (STAT3 CKO) mice, it was revealed that cardiac-specific ablation of STAT3 abrogated IL-11-mediated attenuation of I/R injury. Finally, IL-11 failed to suppress the ROS production after I/R in STAT3 CKO mice. IL-11 administration exhibits the postconditioning effects through cardiac STAT3 activation, suggesting that IL-11 has the clinical therapeutic potential to prevent I/R injury in heart. 相似文献

The effect of phospholipid liposomes and surfactant micelles on the rate of nitric oxide release from zwitterionic diazeniumdiolates, R1R2N[N(O)NO]-, with significant hydrophobic structure, has been explored. The acid-catalyzed dissociation of NO has been examined in phosphate-buffered solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-(1-glycerol)] sodium salt (DPPG) phospholipid liposomes. The reaction behavior of dibenzylamine-, monobenzylamine-, and dibutylamine-derived substrates [1]: R1 = C6H5CH2, R2 = C6H5CH2 NH2+(CH2)2, 2: R1 = C6H5CH2, R2 = NH3+(CH2)2, and 3: R1 = n-butyl, R2 = n-butyl-NH2+(CH2)6] has been compared with that of SPER/NO, 4: R1 = H2N(CH2)3, R2 = H2N(CH2) 3NH2+(CH2)4]. Catalysis of NO release is observed in both micellar and liposome media. Hydrophobic interactions contribute to micellar binding for 1-3 and appear to be the main factor facilitating catalysis by charge neutral DPPC liposomes. Binding constants for the association of 1 and 3 with SDS micelles were 3-fold larger than those previously obtained with comparable zwitterionic substrates lacking their hydrophobic structure. Anionic DPPG liposomes were much more effective in catalyzing NO release than either DPPC liposomes or SDS micelles. DPPG liposomes (at 10 mM total lipid) induced a 30-fold increase in the NO dissociation rate of SPER/NO compared to 12- and 14-fold increases in that of 1 and 3. 相似文献

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is a common clinical complication but lacks effective therapies. This study investigated the role of autophagy in renal I/R injury and explored potential mechanisms in an established rat renal I/R injury model. Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, I/R, I/R pretreated with 3-methyladenine (3-MA, autophagy inhibitor), or I/R pretreated with rapamycin (autophagy activator). All rats were subjected to clamping of the left renal pedicle for 45 min after right nephrectomy, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. The Sham group underwent the surgical procedure without ischemia. 3-MA and rapamycin were injected 15 min before ischemia. Renal function was indicated by blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. Tissue samples from the kidneys were scored histopathologically. Autophagy was indicated by light chain 3 (LC3), Beclin-1, and p62 levels and the number of autophagic vacuoles. Apoptosis was evaluated by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and expression of caspase-3. Autophagy was activated after renal I/R injury. Inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA before I/R aggravated renal injury, with worsened renal function, higher renal tissue injury scores, and more tubular apoptosis. In contrast, rapamycin pretreatment ameliorated renal injury, with improved renal function, lower renal tissue injury scores, and inhibited apoptosis based on fewer TUNEL-positive cells and lower caspase-3 expression. Our results demonstrate that autophagy could be activated during I/R injury and play a protective role in renal I/R injury. The mechanisms were involved in the regulation of several autophagy and apoptosis-related genes. Furthermore, autophagy activator may be a promising therapy for I/R injury and AKI in the future. 相似文献
