Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effect of zinc on oxidative DNA damage in rats with experimental acute and chronic kidney deficiency. Six groups of five Wistar-Albino rats each were assigned as controls (C), acute kidney deficiency (AKD), zinc-supplemented (+Zn), acute kidney deficiency, zinc-supplemented (AKD + Zn), chronic kidney deficiency (CKD) and zinc-supplemented chronic kidney deficiency (CKD + Zn). The levels of 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were determined, being the lowest in the CKD group (p < 0.05), higher in the C group than those of rats with CKD but lower than that of all the other groups (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the controls and the CKD + Zn group, or between the AKD and the +Zn groups. Among all groups, the highest 8-OHdG level was found in the AKD + Zn group (p < 0.05). DNA damage was greater in acute renal failure than in rats with chronic renal failure. The DNA damage in the zinc group was significantly higher than in the controls.

Abstract
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induces kidney damage, in part, through oxidative stress. A role for angiotensin II (Ang II) in pro-inflammatory events in a model of acute HgCl2-induced nephropathy was reported. Ang II is a potent oxidative stress inducer; however, its role in oxidative/anti-oxidative events in HgCl2-induced nephropathy remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Ang II in the oxidative stress and renal infiltration of CD8(+) T-cells after an acute HgCl2 intoxication. Three groups of Sprague Dawley rats were treated with a single subcutaneous dose of 2.5 mg/kg HgCl2: for 3 days prior to and for 4 days after that injection, rats in one group received Losartan (30 mg/kg), in another group Enalapril (30 mg/kg) or normal saline in the last group. Two other groups of drug-treated rats received saline in place of HgCl2. A final group of rats received saline in place of HgCl2 and the test drugs. All treatments were via gastric gavage. At 96 h after the vehicle/HgCl2 injection, blood and kidney samples were harvested. Renal sections were homogenized for measures of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase activity. Frozen sections were studied for the presence of superoxide anion ([Formula: see text]) and CD8(+) T-cells. HgCl2-treated rats had increased interstitial and tubular expression of [Formula: see text], high levels of MDA, normal catalase activity and GSH content, increased levels of interstitial CD8(+) T-cells and an increased percentage of necrotic tubules. Anti-Ang II treatments diminished the HgCl2-induced increases in interstitial [Formula: see text], CD8(+) T-cells and tubular damage and increased catalase and GSH expression above that due to HgCl2 alone; the HgCl2-induced high MDA levels were unaffected by the drugs. These data provide new information regarding the potential role of Ang II in the oxidative stress and renal CD8(+) T-cell infiltration that occur during HgCl2 nephropathy.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and a high risk for developing malignancy. Excessive oxidative stress is thought to play a major role in elevating these risks by increasing oxidative nucleic acid damage. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) production and antioxidant defense mechanisms and can cause vascular and tissue injuries as well as nucleic acid damage in CKD patients. The increased production of RONS, impaired nonenzymatic or enzymatic antioxidant defense mechanisms, and other risk factors including gene polymorphisms, uremic toxins (indoxyl sulfate), deficiency of arylesterase/paraoxonase, hyperhomocysteinemia, dialysis-associated membrane bioincompatibility, and endotoxin in patients with CKD can inhibit normal cell function by damaging cell lipids, arachidonic acid derivatives, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Several clinical biomarkers and techniques have been used to detect the antioxidant status and oxidative stress/oxidative nucleic acid damage associated with long-term complications such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, amyloidosis, and malignancy in CKD patients. Antioxidant therapies have been studied to reduce the oxidative stress and nucleic acid oxidation in patients with CKD, including alpha-tocopherol, N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, glutathione, folic acid, bardoxolone methyl, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and providing better dialysis strategies. This paper provides an overview of radical production, antioxidant defence, pathogenesis and biomarkers of oxidative stress in patients with CKD, and possible antioxidant therapies.

Abstract
Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis have elevated markers of oxidative stress, but the reasons for this are not fully understood. Intravenous administration of iron, which many of these patients receive, may provoke the generation of bioactive iron, which enhances oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In this study, 110 hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to five groups that were administered single intravenous doses of iron sucrose, ranging from 20 to 500 mg. A time- and dosage-dependent rise in lymphocyte 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in lymphocyte DNA, a marker of oxidative DNA damage, with a significant increase at 2 h after intravenous iron of > or = 200 mg (P < 0.05). Four weeks later, patients were randomly assigned to weekly iron sucrose (100 mg of elemental iron) or saline for 12 wk, and 89 patients completed the study. Mean lymphocyte 8-OHdG content was significantly higher in patients receiving intravenous iron compared with control subjects (P < 0.05), especially in those with ferritin levels > 500 microg/L. In addition, flow cytometric techniques revealed increased production of reactive oxygen species in lymphocytes among those treated with intravenous iron. Treatment with intravenous iron but not saline was also associated with decreased plasma ascorbate and alpha-tocopherol levels and increased oxidized glutathione/reduced glutathione ratio (P < 0.05). In summary, intravenous iron sucrose provokes oxidative damage to peripheral blood lymphocyte DNA in hemodialysis patients, especially among those with high levels of ferritin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study the effect of losartan and enalapril on the reduction of DNA damage was evaluated in regard to renin-angiotensin system (RAS) polymorphisms. METHODS After determination of genotypes of RAS polymorphism by PCR, 64 renal transplant recipients were randomly allocated to one of four groups: the first and second groups were treated with E (E+: 10 mg/day) and L (L+: 50 mg/day) alone, respectively. The third group received E+L (E+L+: 10 + 50 mg/day), and the forth group received no medication (E-L-). The subjects were followed for 8 weeks. After a 2-week washout period, the E group changed to L and vice versa as a cross-over design. They were followed for another 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, we checked 8-OHdG and malondialdehyde (MDA) as biomarkers of DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, respectively. RESULTS 8-OHdG levels were significantly decreased after treatment in the E+L+ and L+ groups (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). Only the TT genotype of AGT had the most antioxidative role regarding the treatment (P = 0.01). We found a remarkable correlation between MDA and DNA damage levels before and after intervention (r = 0.48, P < 0.001; r = 0.35, P = 0.006). CONCLUSION The protective effects of L+ and E+L+ on DNA breaks are surprising regarding the RAS polymorphisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as captopril, are used to control hypertension. In patients and animals with primary nephropathies, these agents improve renal function more than that would be expected from their control of hypertension. Here, we examine the effects of treatment with captopril on lupus nephritis and discuss the potential mechanism(s) by which this agent exerts its renoprotective effects. METHODS Lupus-prone, NZB/NZW F1 and MRL-lpr/lpr, mice were treated with captopril or with a control antihypertensive agent, verapamil. Mice were monitored for nephritis, and their sera and tissues analyzed for cytokine and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) expression. RESULTS Captopril treatment delayed the onset of proteinuria when administered to prenephritic mice, whereas verapamil did not. Captopril treatment also retarded disease progression when given to lupus mice that had early disease, and even reversed severe proteinuria in at least some older animals with advanced disease. It reduced chronic renal lesions, but had no effect on autoantibody production. The improvement in renal disease correlated with reduced TGF-beta expression, particularly of the TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta2 isoforms, in the kidneys. Interestingly, in vivo or in vitro exposure to captopril reduced splenic levels of type 2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10, suggesting a possible role of the immune system in captopril-mediated disease modulation. CONCLUSION Since type 2 cytokines are known to promote lupus glomerulosclerosis, decreased IL-4 and IL-10 production in captopril-treated mice may be related to this agent's renoprotective effects. We argue here that ACE inhibitors not only act as selective TGF-beta inhibitors, but also as selective immunomodulators, to improve lupus nephritis.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is markedly increased after kidney transplantation and may participate in the development and/or progression of chronic renal allograft nephropathy. In the present study we sought to assess the nephroprotective potential of antioxidative treatment in renal allograft recipients. Experiments were performed in the Fisher-Lewis rat model of chronic renal allograft nephropathy, with isografted Lewis rats serving as controls. Allografted rats were orally treated with carvedilol, an antihypertensive drug with antioxidative properties (25 mg/kg/d), its purely antioxidative derivative BM 91.0228 (5 mg/kg/d), alpha-tocopherol (100 mg/kg/d), a combination of propranolol/doxazosine (10/5 mg/kg/d), or vehicle for 24 weeks. At the end of the study, oxidative status and influence of antioxidative treatment were assessed in transplanted animals. Chronic allograft nephropathy was characterized by a marked increase of markers for oxidative stress (increased plasma and kidney levels of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, and tocopherol levels in renal allografts). Treatment with carvedilol, BM 91.0228, and tocopherol significantly improved antioxidative status of allograft kidney recipients. In addition, carvedilol reduced elevated blood pressure in allografted rats. However none of the drugs had a beneficial influence on functional and morphologic renal changes. Our data thus demonstrate that long-term treatment with the antioxidants carvedilol, BM 91.0228, or alpha-tocopherol does not prevent development of chronic transplant nephropathy, despite an improvement of antioxidative status.
