Sirna Therapy

Background: Ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), a major complication occurring during organ transplantation, involves an initial ischemia insult, due to loss of blood supply, followed by an inflammation-mediated reperfusion injury. A variety of molecular targets and pathways involved in liver IRI have been identified. Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) by means of small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting mediators of IRI is a promising therapeutic approach. Objective: This study aims at reviewing the use of siRNAs as therapeutic agents to prevent IRI during liver transplantation. Method: We review the crucial choice of siRNA targets and the advantages and problems of the use of siRNAs. Results: We propose possible targets for siRNA therapy during liver IRI. Moreover, we discuss how drug delivery systems, namely liposomes, may improve siRNA therapy by increasing siRNA stability in vivo and avoiding siRNA off-target effects. Conclusion: siRNA therapeutic potential to preclude liver IRI can be improved by a better knowledge of what molecules to target and by using more efficient delivery strategies.

<b><i>Introduction/Aims:</i></b> Hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) is considered to be the third most important endogenous gasotransmitter in organisms. GYY4137 is a long-acting donor for H<sub>2</sub>S, a gas transmitter that has been shown to prevent multi-organ damage in animal studies. We previously reported the effect of GYY4137 on cardiac ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in diabetic mice. However, the role and mechanism of GYY4137 in renal IRI are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to determine whether GYY4137 can effectively alleviate the injury induced by renal ischaemia reperfusion and to explore its possible mechanism. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Mice received right nephrectomy and clipping of the left renal pedicle for 45 min. GYY4137 was administered by intraperitoneal injection for 2 consecutive days before the operation. The model of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury was established in HK-2 cells, which were pre-treated with or without GYY4137. Renal histology, function, apoptosis, and oxidative stress were measured. Western blot was used to measure the target ­protein after renal IRI. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The results indicated that GYY4137 had a clear protective effect on renal IRI as reflected by the attenuation of renal dysfunction, renal tubule injury, and apoptosis. Moreover, GYY4137 remarkably reduced renal IRI-induced oxidative stress. GYY4137 significantly elevated the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the expression of antioxidant enzymes regulated by Nrf2, including SOD, HO-1, and NQO-1. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> GYY4137 alleviates ischaemia reperfusion-induced renal injury through activating the antioxidant effect mediated by Nrf2 signalling.
