Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with high morbidity and mortality all over the world is characterized by decreased kidney function, a condition which can result from numerous risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Despite significant advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of CKD, there are still no treatments that can effectively combat CKD, which underscores the urgent need for further study into the pathological mechanisms underlying this condition. In this regard, animal models of CKD are indispensable. This article reviews a widely used animal model of CKD, which is induced by adenine. While a physiologic dose of adenine is beneficial in terms of biological activity, a high dose of adenine is known to induce renal disease in the organism. Following a brief description of the procedure for disease induction by adenine, major mechanisms of adenine-induced CKD are then reviewed, including inflammation, oxidative stress, programmed cell death, metabolic disorders, and fibrillation. Finally, the application and future perspective of this adenine-induced CKD model as a platform for testing the efficacy of a variety of therapeutic approaches is also discussed. Given the simplicity and reproducibility of this animal model, it remains a valuable tool for studying the pathological mechanisms of CKD and identifying therapeutic targets to fight CKD.

Kutbi D, Almalki RS. Valsartan Mitigates the Progression of Methotrexate-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Rats via the Attenuation of Renal Inflammation and Oxidative Stress. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:2233-2243. [PMID: 38623467 PMCID: PMC11017984 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s456610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist, commonly administered for the treatment of a variety of cancers. However, methotrexate toxicity including bone marrow suppression and hepatic and renal toxicity limits its use. Angiotensin AT1 receptor blockers including Valsartan (Val) possess the ability to ameliorate MTX-induced toxicity through various mechanisms. In this study, we explored the potential reno-protective effects of Val against MTX-induced acute kidney injury in rats. Methods Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly segregated into 3 groups. Group 1 served as the control group and received an oral dose of 1mL/kg of normal saline. Group 2 received a single dose of 20 mg/kg of MTX intraperitoneally (IP) for 5 days. Group 3 received a single IP dose of 20 mg/kg of MTX followed by an oral dose of 10 mg/kg of Valsartan for 5 days. At the end of the experiment, the levels of serum kidney biomarkers, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were accessed. Furthermore, the effect of MTX on kidney tissue histology was examined. Results and discussion Our results showed that MTX treatment increased the level of serum kidney and inflammatory biomarkers and decreased the level of antioxidants SOD and GSH while increasing the lipid peroxidation contents. Furthermore, MTX treatment caused structural changes to kidney histology. However, the administration of Val significantly prevented these changes. Conclusion Valsartan possesses nephroprotective potential and might serve as a potential therapeutic strategy against MTX-induced kidney injury.

In vitro chemo-protective effect of Eisenia foetida coelomic fluid against histone deacetylase inhibitor-induced oxidative toxicity in breast cancer cells. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH 2023; 33:1728-1737.

Abstract
Developing new drugs from natural products is important for therapeutic effects to minimise tissue toxicity of drugs used in cancer treatment. Eisenia foetida is a worm with a double transport system consisting of coelomic fluid (ECF) that can be used as alternative medicine. It is important to eliminate or reduce the high cytotoxicity of sodium butyrate (NaBu), a chemotherapeutic agent used in breast cancer treatment, for both neoplastic and normal cells. We aimed to evaluate the effect of ECF on the oxidative toxicity induced by NaBu in MCF-7 cells, changes in ROS production levels and expression of cell death and ROS-related genes. It was determined that the expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2 genes remained unchanged, while the amount of ROS decreased significantly in MCF-7 cells exposed to NaBu with ECF. Thus, ECF may be a potential therapeutic molecule with fewer side effects in cancer treatment in the future.

The Nephroprotective Effect of Cornelian Cherry ( Cornus mas L.) and Rowanberry ( Sorbus aucuparia L.) in Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity on Wistar Rats with Emphasis on the Evaluation of Novel Renal Biomarkers and the Antioxidant Capacity in Correlation with Nitro-Oxidative Stress. Nutrients 2023; 15:4392. [PMID: 37892466 PMCID: PMC10609733 DOI: 10.3390/nu15204392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In spite of its well-known nephrotoxicity, gentamicin is nonetheless routinely used in humans and animals. However, no adjuvant treatments have been implemented to mitigate this harmful effect. Given this concern, medicinal plants represent a significant reservoir of natural antioxidants that could potentially reduce the renal oxidative stress induced by gentamicin. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to investigate the nephroprotective properties of Cornus mas and Sorbus aucuparia fruits in an experimental model of nephrotoxicity. The 3-week study was performed on male Wistar rats, which were randomly divided into six experimental groups, being subcutaneously treated with 50 mg/kg gentamicin and orally given Cornus mas and Sorbus aucuparia extracts, in doses of 40 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Antioxidant therapy significantly improved the nitro-oxidative stress parameters as well as the specific renal biomarkers KIM-1 and iNAG, demonstrating a considerable renal tubular protective impact. These outcomes were reinforced by biochemical and histopathological enhancements. Nevertheless, neither of the tested extracts succeeded in substantially diminishing BUN levels. Additionally, CysC did not significantly decline following extracts treatment, suggesting that the remedies did not effectively protect renal glomeruli against gentamicin stress. Future studies are required in order to determine the underlying mechanisms of these berries.

Steviol Glycoside, L-Arginine, and Chromium(III) Supplementation Attenuates Abnormalities in Glucose Metabolism in Streptozotocin-Induced Mildly Diabetic Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15101200. [PMID: 36297315 PMCID: PMC9607630 DOI: 10.3390/ph15101200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and its glycosides are believed to exhibit several health-promoting properties. Recently, the mechanisms of the anti-diabetic effects of steviol glycosides (SG) have been the subject of intense research. The following study aims to evaluate the results of SG (stevioside (ST) and rebaudioside A (RA)) combined with L-arginine (L-Arg) and chromium(III) (CrIII) supplementation in streptozotocin- (STZ) induced mild type 2 diabetic rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD), with particular emphasis on carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms. The experiment was carried out on 110 male Wistar rats, 100 of which were fed an HFD to induce insulin resistance, followed by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to induce mild type 2 diabetes. After confirmation of hyperglycemia, the rats were divided into groups. Three groups served as controls: diabetic untreated, diabetic treated with metformin (300 mg/kg BW), and healthy group. Eight groups were fed an HFD enriched with stevioside or rebaudioside A (2500 mg/kg BW) combined with L-arginine (2000 or 4000 mg/kg BW) and Cr(III) (1 or 5 mg/kg BW) for six weeks. The results showed that supplementation with SG (ST and RA) combined with L-arg and Cr(III) could improve blood glucose levels in rats with mild type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, ST was more effective in improving blood glucose levels, insulin resistance indices, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) concentrations than RA. Although L-arg and Cr(III) supplementation did not independently affect most blood carbohydrate and lipid indices, it further improved some biomarkers when combined, particularly with ST. Notably, the beneficial impact of ST on the homeostatic model assessment–insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and on the quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI) was strengthened when mixed with a high dose of L-arg, while its impact on antioxidant status was improved when combined with a high dose of Cr(III) in rats with mild type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, these results suggest that supplementary stevioside combined with L-arginine and Cr(III) has therapeutic potential for mild type 2 diabetes. However, further studies are warranted to confirm these effects in other experimental models and humans.

Abstract
This is the first report of the high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry profile of a herbal mixture (HM) made of Juniperus oxycedrus L. (redberry juniper) berries, inner bark of Betula pendula Roth. (silver birch), and grains of Avena sativa L. (oat), and its effect on the No. of micronuclei (MN) in human lymphocytes and toxicity toward Artemia salina. Constituents represented by over 1000 µg per g of methanol dry extract were gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and amentoflavone. The methanol extract of the HM at a concentration of 2.0 μg/mL decreased MN frequency by 38.3%, which was more than 3 times greater than that of the radioprotectant amifostine. The essential oil isolated from the HM was composed mainly of β-myrcene (32%) and showed weaker toxicity toward Artemia salina than the positive control after both incubation periods (24 h and 48 h). These findings suggest that the examined HM, beside its ethnopharmacological relevance on the elimination of renal calculi, also significantly reduces the No. of MN in human lymphocytes.

Abstract
Objective To establish a rat model of alcoholic kidney injury and detect the expression of TIMP-1/MMP-24 in the kidneys of rats with alcoholic kidney injury at the molecular pathological level, so as to explore the mechanism of alcohol abuse leading to kidney injury and renal interstitial fibrosis as well as the alleviation of alcohol-induced kidney injury and inhibition of renal interstitial fibrosis by dapagliflozin. Methods 48 male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, alcohol group, alcohol + dapagliflozin group, and alcohol + losartan group, each with 12 rats. Different drugs were administered by gavage for modeling and treatment. Six days later, the rats were sacrificed, blood was collected from the heart to separate the serum, and the blood creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) contents were detected biochemically. After blood collection, the kidney tissue was taken and fixed in10% neutral formalin. The expression of renal tissue inflammatory factors (CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α) and renal fibrosis indexes (LN, HA, and TGF-β1) were detected; MMP-24 and TIMP-1 in the kidney tissue of rats in different treatment groups were detected, and Smad3 expression was also detected. Results After treatment, the general condition of the alcohol + dapagliflozin group and the alcohol + losartan group improved to different degrees. The weight first decreased and then gradually increased over time. There was no statistical difference in the weight change between the two groups; Compared with the control group, the Scr level, BUN content, renal index, inflammatory factors, and renal fibrosis indexes in the alcohol group were significantly increased (P < 0.05); after 6 weeks of treatment, in the alcohol + dapagliflozin group and alcohol + losartan group, Scr level, BUN content, kidney index, inflammatory factors, and renal fibrosis indexes were significantly decreased (P < 0.05); the expression of MMP-24 in the kidney tissue of the control group was upregulated, and the expression of TIMP-1 and Smad3 was downregulated; MMP-24 expression was downregulated, and TIMP-1 and Smad3 expression was significantly upregulated (P < 0.05) in the rats of the alcohol group. After dapagliflozin and losartan treatment, MMP-24 expression gradually increased and TIMP-1 and Smad3 expression gradually decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion Long-term large-scale alcohol intake can cause kidney tissue damage and fibrotic lesions. The expression of fibrotic cytokines such as TIMP-1 and Smad3 will increase, and the expression of MMP-24 will be decreased. However, dapagliflozin and losartan have certain therapeutic effects on the abovementioned lesions. The mechanism may be downregulating TIMP-1 and Smad3 and upregulating the expression of MMP-24 and other cytokines in the kidney.

Abstract
Sepsis is an extensive life-threatening illness that occurs due to an abnormal host response that extends through the initial storm of inflammation and oxidative stress and terminates at the late stage of immunosuppression. Among global intensive care units, sepsis-induced acute kidney injury is reported with high mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition on sepsis outcomes. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) procedure was applied for sepsis induction. The experimental design constituted of five groups of rats: sham, CLP-nontreated and CLP-treated with ramipril (10 mg/kg, p.o.), losartan (20 mg/kg, i.p.) and spironolactone (25 mg/kg, p.o.). Twenty-four hours after surgery, rats were euthanized for blood and tissue samples, which were used for assessment of serum inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress parameters, as well as to kidney function parameters. The tissue samples were used for histological and caspase-3 assessment. A survival study was conducted using another set of animals. Our results showed that the different RAAS inhibitors showed protective effects evidenced by enhanced overall survival following sepsis (80% in ramipril and spironolactone-treated and 60% in losartan-treated vs. 10% in the septic group), in addition to improved renal function parameters and reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation. The timely use of RAAS inhibitors during sepsis might represent a new therapeutic approach in septic patient.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is considered a potent risk factor for the development of gout, renal failure, and cardiovascular disease. The current project was designed to use stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) byproduct, named stevia residue extract (STVRE), for the treatment of HUA. Male Kunming mice were divided into six groups: normal control, model control, positive control (allopurinol, 5 mg per kg body weight [bw]), STVRE-1 (75 mg per kg bw), STVRE-2 (150 mg per kg bw), and STVRE-3 (300 mg per kg bw). HUA was induced by the administration of potassium oxonate (100 mg per kg bw), fructose (10% w/v), and yeast extract (100 mg per kg bw) for 8 weeks. STVRE significantly (p < 0.05) decreased uric acid (UA) production and ameliorated UA excretion by interacting with urate transporters. The STVRE remarkably attenuated oxidative stress mediated by UA and downregulated inflammatory-related response markers such as COX-2, NF-κB, PGE2, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Furthermore, STVRE also reversed HUA-induced abnormalities in kidneys compared with the MC group. The results of our study suggest that STVRE has potential to attenuate hyperuricemia and renal protective effects, and may be used as a natural supplement for the possible treatment of UA-related disorders.

Abstract
Ficus spragueana Mildbr. & Burret (family Moraceae) was reported to have various biological activities. However, its activity in treatment of renal injury has not been investigated yet. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of F. spragueana leaf extract on nephrotoxicity caused by gentamicin. Gentamicin is an important broad-spectrum antibiotic; nevertheless, it exhibits serious nephrotoxic adverse effects. HPLC-ESI/MS spectrometric analysis of the extract revealed the presence of 37 phenolic compounds. Moreover, five compounds were isolated from the leaf extract, and identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The isolated compounds were syringic acid (1), p-coumaric acid (2), 3',5' O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3), luteolin-8-C-β-D glucopyranoside (orientin) (4) and 8-methoxy kaempferol-3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→2) β-D-glucopyranoside] (5). The gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity model was used to evaluate the protective effect of F. spragueana on renal toxicity biomarkers throughout the development of acute kidney injury. Administration of extract led to improvement in kidney function through inhibition of kidney injury molecule-1, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and total bilirubin, as well as decreasing the inflammatory markers interlukin1-beta and myeloperoxidase. Furthermore, it reduced the oxidative stress by increasing reduced glutathione and total antioxidant capacity levels while decreasing malondialdehyde and nitric oxide content, and improved renal histopathological injuries.

Abstract
A number of health-promoting properties of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and its glycosides, including the antihyperglycemic activity, have been found. The mechanisms of the antidiabetic action of stevia have not been fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementary steviol glycosides on high-fat fed streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with particular attention to lipid metabolism. The experiment was conducted on 70 male Wistar rats, of which 60 were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks followed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, to induce type 2 diabetes. Afterwards, rats were divided into six groups and fed a high-fat diet supplemented with pure stevioside or rebaudioside A, at two levels (500 or 2500 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)) for 5 weeks. Three additional groups: diabetic untreated, diabetic treated with metformin, and healthy, served as respective controls. Blood and dissected internal organs were collected for hematological, biochemical, and histopathological tests. It was found that dietary supplementation with steviol glycosides did not affect blood glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance indices, antioxidant biomarkers, but normalized hyperlipidemia and affected the appetite, as well as attenuated blood liver and kidney function indices, and reduced tissular damage in diabetic rats. Steviol glycosides normalize lipid metabolism and attenuate internal organs damage in diabetes.

Abstract
This dataset indicates the effect of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni); angiotensin-II type-1 receptor (AT1) blockers, losartan and valsartan; and a calcium (Ca2+) channel blocker, amlodipine; on water consumption, fasting blood glucose, and cardiac histology in gentamycin-induced nephrotoxic rat model. Six groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected as sham control group, gentamycin-induced nephrotoxic disease control group; gentamycin-induced disease control groups treated with stevia (200 mg/kg/day); amlodipine (4 mg/kg/day); losartan (15 mg/kg/day) and valsartan (5 mg/kg/day) respectively. Fasting blood glucose level and water consumption were recorded daily for the first week and then weekly for the rest of treatment period. Serum creatinine, blood urea, total protein and lipid profile were determined. Histological examination of the heart tissue was assessed to find out any alteration of cardiac muscle tissue following gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity. This article provides additional data collected from the same animals previously reported [1] .
