Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe clinical renal syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD), is characterized by iron overload, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and lipid peroxidation. As ferroptosis has been increasingly studied in recent years, it is closely associated with the pathophysiological process of AKI and provides a target for the treatment of AKI. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, summarizes its role in various AKI models, and explores its interaction with other forms of cell death, it also presents research on ferroptosis in AKI progression to other diseases. Additionally, the review highlights methods for detecting and assessing AKI through the lens of ferroptosis and describes potential inhibitors of ferroptosis for AKI treatment. Finally, the review presents a perspective on the future of clinical AKI treatment, aiming to stimulate further research on ferroptosis in AKI.

Zhu Q, Li G, Ma L, Chen B, Zhang D, Gao J, Deng S, Chen Y. Virgin Camellia Seed Oil Improves Glycolipid Metabolism in the Kidney of High Fat-Fed Rats through AMPK-SREBP Pathway. Nutrients 2023; 15:4888. [PMID: 38068746 PMCID: PMC10708295 DOI: 10.3390/nu15234888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Camellia seed oil (CO) is used as edible oil in southern China because of its excellent fatty acid composition and abundant bioactive compounds. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common chronic degenerative diseases in China, and active compounds in vegetable oil, like virgin olive oil, have been demonstrated to be efficacious in the management of CKD. In this study, virgin CO was refined using a standard process. The refining had minimal impact on the fatty acid composition, but significantly reduced the presence of bioactive compounds like polyphenols in CO. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats fed with high fat diet (Group G) were treated with either virgin (Group Z) or refined CO (Group R). The oral administration of CO alleviated lipid accumulation and decreased body and kidney weight gain. Furthermore, treatment with virgin CO increased the renal ATP content. The renal expression levels of AMPK and key enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation (CPT-1 and ACOX1) and glycolysis (HK, PFK, PK and GAPDH) were up-regulated in Group Z, thereby enhancing the ATP production. Virgin CO treatment downregulated the expression level of SREBP2 and its downstream target genes, such as ACC, FAS, and HMGCR, which reduced lipid synthesis. These findings indicate that virgin CO improves glycolipid metabolism and restores energy homeostasis in the kidneys of rats fed with a high-fat diet by modulating the AMPK-SREBP-signaling pathway, suggesting the potential of active compounds in virgin CO for managing the renal failure associated with glycolipid dysmetabolism.

Res Vet Sci 2023; 164:105044. [PMID: 37806098 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2023.105044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is toxic non-essential heavy metal that precipitates adverse health effects in humans and animals, but the effect of Cd on lymph node toxicity of piglets is still unclear. In order to explore the possible molecular mechanism of Cd toxicity to lymph nodes of piglets, ten 6-week-old male weaned piglets were randomly divided into two groups, C group and Cd group. Group C was fed with basal diet, while group Cd was fed with basal diet supplemented with CdCl2 (20 mg/kg) for 40 days, the pigs were euthanized and the mesenteric, inguinal and submandibular lymph nodes (MLN, ILN, SLN) were collected. The results indicated that Cd could induce the inflammatory cell infiltration, microvascular hemorrhage, microthrombosis and cell necrosis in MLN, ILN and SLN of piglets, induced Cytochrome P450 proteins (CYP1A1、CYP2E1、CYP2A1 and CYP3A2) mRNA levels and the protein levels of Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1). In addition, Cd exposure upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3), mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), and increased tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), interferon-γ (IFNγ), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) protein levels, and the damage degree of three kinds of lymph nodes was similar after Cd exposure. In general, these results manifest that Cd exposure regulates VDR/CREB1 pathway, activates CYP450s, induces necroptosis of lymph nodes, and leads to inflammation.
