Introduction: Renal ischemia reperfusion injury is one of the main causes of acute renal failure, which is associated with high mortality. Tissue damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion occurs due to the release of oxygen free radicals. Type I angiotensin receptor antagonists such as valsartan can be useful in the treatment of chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the protective effect of valsartan against renal ischemia reperfusion via antioxidant property and nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats (220±10 g) were randomly divided into five groups as follows: Group 1; healthy rats without ischemia-reperfusion (control group). Group 2; rats with ischemia reperfusion (IR) (IR control group). Group 3; rats with IR which received 30 mg/kg valsartan orally. Group 4; rats with IR which received 30 mg/kg valsartan together with 40 mg/kg L-NAME. Group 5; rats with IR which received 30 mg/kg valsartan together with 40 mg/kg L-arginine. To induce ischemia-reperfusion, rats were anesthetized with thiopental and underwent surgery. Then, we induced ischemia with blocking blood vessels for 45 minutes by clamping. Biochemical parameters including urea and creatinine were measured using commercial kits. Oxidative stress and inflammatory parameters were measured by ELISA method. Renal tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Finally, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normal distribution of data. Results: The findings of this study indicated that treatment with valsartan and valsartan plus L-arginine leads to significant decrease in the serum levels of creatinine, urea, and albumin/creatinine, malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in contrast to IR control group which has increased level of these parameters. On the other hand, treatment with valsartan and valsartan plus L-arginine lead to increase in the serum levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), in contrast to ischemia reperfusion control group. Conclusion: Our data revealed that valsartan as a type I angiotensin receptor antagonist could decrease oxidative stress and inflammation due to renal ischemia reperfusion injury. Hence, valsartan could propose as a therapeutic agent for kidney diseases such as renal ischemia-reperfusion injury regarded to these renoprotective effects.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> In recent years, increasing discovery of the extremely important regulatory effects of circular RNAs on biological development, angiogenesis, tumor genesis, and development, as well as stem cell proliferation and differentiation has provided new opportunities for investigating regulation mechanism in angiogenesis. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> This study explored the expression of circ 001839 in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RI-RI) rats and whether its upstream microRNA-432-3p (miR-432-3p) affects inflammation in both RI-RI rats and NRK52E cells. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Rat model of RI-RI was made, and circ 001839 was identified by the gene-chip analysis in RI-RI rats. Expression of circ 001839 and miR-432-3p was measured by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, protein expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-6, and IL-18 in rat serum and cell supernatant was determined by ELISA, and the expression of NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) and other gap-associated proteins in NRK52E cells was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Next, to verify the regulatory relationship between circ 001839 and miR-432-3p, 2 luciferase reporters were constructed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Circ 001839 expression of RI-RI rats and NRK52E cells was significantly upregulated, compared with the control group. Circ 001839 overexpression significantly increased inflammation through promoting TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-6 expression levels in NRK52E cells. Overexpression of miR-432-3p significantly promoted inflammation in NRK52E cells via induction of NLRP3. Moreover, miR-432-3p decreased the effects of circ 001839-induced inflammation in NRK52E cells. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> These findings suggested that circ 001839 promoted inflammation in RI-RI through NLRP3 by miR-432-3p.

Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

Introduction/Objective. Medical protection of kidneys against ischemia reperfusion injury is very important. Many agents have been used for the protection of ischemia reperfusion renal tissue injury. We aimed to evaluate the radioprotective effect of lycopene on kidneys in ischemia reperfusion injury with histopathological, biochemical, and scintigraphic parameters. Methods. Twenty-one Wistar male albino rats were divided into the following three groups: lycopene, control, and sham group. In the lycopene group, lycopene was started three days before right renal ischemia reperfusion injury and continued for 15 days. In the control group, right renal ischemia reperfusion injury was applied with no medication. In the sham group, neither right renal ischemia reperfusion injury nor medication were applied. On the 15th day, all rats were sacrificed after 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphies were taken. Histopathological, biochemical, and scintigraphic evaluations were made. Results. The histopathological score was lower in the lycopene group. In biochemical analysis, myeloperoxidase levels were lower in the lycopene group than in the control group, but not statistically significant. Malondialdehyde and nitrite levels were lower in the lycopene group than in the control group. The postoperative mean 99mTc-DMSA uptake values were 44.82 ? 1.84 in the lycopene group, 38.92 ? 1.17 in the control group, and 50.21 ? 1.35 in the sham group. DMSA uptake values were higher in the lycopene group than in the control group. Conclusion. Lycopene seems to be an effective agent for protection of kidneys in ischemia reperfusion injury as demonstrated by the histopathological, biochemical, and scintigraphic parameters.

Background: Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI) is the main cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether sevoflurane could protect HK-2 cells treated by H2O2 by improving apoptosis and oxidative stress through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κb signaling pathway. Methods: HK-2 cells was treated with H2O2 to construct the oxidative damage model happened in renal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI). CCK-8 assay was performed to analyze the viability of HK-2 cells. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdelyde (MDA) testing kits were used for the detection of oxidative stress related factors. TUNEL assay and Western blot were applied to analyze the apoptosis of HK-2 cells. And, proteins of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κb signaling pathway were also detected by western blot. Results: The viability of H2O2-induced HK-2 cells was decreased compared with the control group. The ROS, SOD and MDA levels were increased and LDH level was decreased in H2O2-induced HK-2 cells. The apoptosis of H2O2-induced HK-2 cells was increased. The expression of Bax was decreased and the expression of Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase 3 were increased in the H2O2-induced HK-2 cells. The expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κb signaling pathway was increased in the H2O2-induced HK-2 cells. All these changes were reversed by pretreatment with sevoflurane to some extent in HK-2 cells. Conclusion: In conclusion, sevoflurane pretreatment protects HK-2 cells treated by H2O2 by improving apoptosis and oxidative stress through inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κb signaling pathway.
