Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (i-IRI) is a rare disorder with a high mortality rate, resulting from the loss of blood flow to an intestinal segment. Most of the damage is triggered by the restoration of flow and the arrival of cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS), among others. Inactivation of these molecules before tissue reperfusion could reduce intestinal damage. The aim of this work was to analyze the preventive effect of allopurinol and nitroindazole on intestinal mucosal damage after i-IRI. Wag/RijHsd rats were subjected to i-IRI by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (for 1 or 2 h) followed by a 30 min period of reperfusion. Histopathological intestinal damage (HID) was assessed by microscopic examination of histological sections obtained from injured intestine. HID was increased by almost 20% by doubling the ischemia time (from 1 to 2 h). Nitroindazole reduced HID in both the 1 and 2 h period of ischemia by approximately 30% and 60%, respectively (p < 0.001). Our preliminary results demonstrate that nitroindazole has a preventive/protective effect against tissue damage in the early stages of i-IRI. However, to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, further studies are needed.

Intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inherent, unavoidable event of intestinal transplantation, contributing to allograft failure and rejection. The inflammatory state elicited by intestinal IRI is characterized by heightened leukocyte recruitment to the gut, which is amplified by a cross-talk with platelets at the endothelial border. Sulforaphane (SFN), a naturally occurring isothiocyanate, exhibits anti-inflammatory characteristics and has been shown to reduce platelet activation and block leukocyte adhesion. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate protective effects and mechanism of action of SFN in a murine model of intestinal IRI. Intestinal IRI was induced by superior mesenteric artery occlusion for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 2 h, 8 h or 24 h. To investigate cellular interactions, leukocytes were in vivo stained with rhodamine and platelets were harvested from donor animals and ex vivo stained. Mice (C57BL/6J) were divided into three groups: (1) control, (2) SFN treatment 24 h prior to reperfusion and (3) SFN treatment 24 h prior to platelet donation. Leukocyte and platelet recruitment was analyzed via intravital microscopy. Tissue was analyzed for morphological alterations in intestinal mucosa, barrier permeability, and leukocyte infiltration. Leukocyte rolling and adhesion was significantly reduced 2 h and 8 h after reperfusion. Mice receiving SFN treated platelets exhibited significantly decreased leukocyte and platelet recruitment. SFN showed protection for intestinal tissue with less damage observed in histopathological and ultrastructural evaluation. In summary, the data presented provide evidence for SFN as a potential therapeutic strategy against intestinal IRI.
