Abstract
The kidney flushes out toxic substances and metabolic waste products, and homeostasis is maintained owing to the kidney efforts. Unfortunately, kidney disease is one of the illnesses with a poor prognosis and a high death rate. The current investigation was set out to assess erythropoietin (EPO) potential therapeutic benefits against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced kidney injury in rats. EPO treatment improved kidney functions, ameliorated serum urea, creatinine, and malondialdehyde, increased renal levels of reduced glutathione, and slowed the rise of JAK2, STAT5, AMPK, and their phosphorylated forms induced by TAA. EPO treatment also greatly suppressed JAK2, Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases, and The Protein Kinase R-like ER Kinase gene expressions and mitigated the histopathological alterations brought on by TAA toxicity. EPO antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties protected TAA-damaged kidneys. EPO regulates AMPK, JAK2/STAT5, and pro-inflammatory mediator synthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: This study aimed to examine the anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects of erythropoietin against kidney injury inducted by ischemia reperfusion in experimental model. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: 20 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups: sham (subject to median laparotomy only), control (subject to 30 minutes ischemia and 2hours reperfusion), vehicle (injected by distilled water and subjected to the same procedure of ischemia reperfusion), erythropoietin group (as in vehicle group but the rats pretreated with 1000 U/kg of erythropoietin). The left kidney and blood specimen were collected. The blood utilized to assess serum creatinine. While kidneys utilized to assessed MCP-1, TLR2, and caspase-3 in addition to histopathological evaluation. RESULTS Results: Control and vehicle samples showed that a significant elevation in serum creatinine, TLR2, caspase-3, and MCP-1 as compared with sham group. The histological eval¬uation showed a significant rise in kidney injury scores. Kidneys and blood samples of erythropoietin pretreated rats established histopathological and functional improvement as evidenced via reduced kidney injury scores in addition to the reduction in serum creatinine, as well as there were a significant diminished in caspase-3, MCP-1, and TLR2 levels when compared with control and vehicle groups. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Erythropoietin has renoprotective effect against ischemia and reperfusion, which achieved by decrease the inflammatory response as well as antiapoptotic effect.

Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion (RI/R) is a critical clinical outcome with slightly reported improvement in mortality and morbidity. Effective therapies are still crucially required. Accordingly, the therapeutic effects of esculin (ESC, LCESI-MS/MS-isolated compound from Vachellia farnesiana flowers extract, with reported P2X7 receptor inhibitor activity) alone and in combination with erythropoietin (EPO) were investigated against RI/R injury and the possible underlying mechanisms were delineated. ESC and EPO were administered for 7 days and 30 min prior to RI, respectively. Twenty-four hour following reperfusion, blood and kidney samples were collected. Results revealed that pretreatment with either ESC or EPO reduced serum nephrotoxicity indices, renal oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptosis markers. They also ameliorated the renal histopathological injury on both endothelial and tubular epithelial levels. Notably, ESC markedly inhibited P2X7 receptors and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling (downregulated NLRP3 and Caspase-1 gene expressions), whereas EPO significantly upregulated PI3K and Akt gene expressions, also p-PI3K and p-Akt levels in renal tissues. ESC, for the first time, demonstrated effective protection against RI/R-injury and its combination with EPO exerted maximal renoprotection when compared to each monotherapy, thereby representing an effective therapeutic approach via inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, renal tubular and endothelial injury, apoptosis, and P2X7 receptors expression, and activating PI3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the major causes related to acute kidney damage. Melatonin has been shown as a powerful antioxidant, with many animal experiments have been designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of it to renal I/R injury. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of melatonin for renal I/R injury in animal models. Methods and Results: The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Science Direct were searched for animal experiments applying melatonin to treat renal I/R injury to February 2021. Thirty-one studies were included. The pooled analysis showed a greater reduction of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (21 studies, weighted mean difference (WMD) = −30.00 [−42.09 to −17.91], p < 0.00001), and serum creatinine (SCr) (20 studies, WMD = −0.91 [−1.17 to −0.66], p < 0.00001) treated with melatonin. Subgroup analysis suggested that multiple administration could reduce the BUN compared with control. Malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase were significantly reduced, meanwhile, melatonin significantly improved the activity of glutathione, as well as superoxide dismutase. The possible mechanism for melatonin to treat renal I/R injury is inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, inflammation, autophagy, and fibrillation in AKI to chronic kidney disease. Conclusions: From the available data of small animal studies, this systematic review demonstrated that melatonin could improve renal function and antioxidative effects to cure renal I/R injury through, then multiple administration of melatonin might be more appropriate. Nonetheless, extensive basic experiments are need to study the mechanism of melatonin, then well-designed randomized controlled trials to explore the protective effect of melatonin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney ischemia reperfusion (IR) is an important cause of renal dysfunction. The hypoxic conditions in ischemic damage result in the formation of free radicals and apoptotic death of renal cells. We evaluated the renoprotective effects of linalool in IR- induced renal injury. METHODS Wistar rats were divided into three groups of six rats; namely, control group, IR group, and linalool + IR group. The animals were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 min of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Linalool (40mg/kg) was administered before ischemia. After 24h reperfusion, the kidney tissues were obtained for detection of miR-21, HSP 70 and caspase-3 expression levels and histological studies. Also, the blood samples were collected for the measurement of biochemical parameters. RESULTS IR significantly increased the expression of miR-21, HSP70 and capase-3 and the serum levels of BUN-Cr, ALT, AST and ALP enzymes. Furthermore, histological findings of the IR group confirmed that there were acute tubular necrosis and lymphocyte infiltration in the renal tissues. Treatment with linalool improved the renal function and morphological changes. CONCLUSION It seems that linalool could exert a nephroprotective effect via a number of mechanisms in renal IR injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In transplantation surgery, the ischaemic organ and reperfusion impairment after cold storage remains a considerable risk factor for impaired function and potential failure of the grafted organ. Substantial logistical efforts have been undertaken to reduce the cold ischaemic time because the demand for available transplant organs and the periods of cold ischaemia are increasing. METHODS Four molecules were investigated (erythropoietin, sildenafil, lazaroid [U74389G], octreotide) in individual intravenous infusions 1 hour before the organ was harvested. This study was performed in 30 healthy landrace/large-white pigs (male; >10 weeks old; average weight, 22 ± 2 kg) in groups of six. The organs were studied at harvest, and at 8 and 24 hours post-harvest. RESULTS The lazaroid molecule increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the liver and pancreas at 8 hours. Hepatic lazaroid molecules improved liver histology at 8 and 24 hours. For kidneys, erythropoietin had a positive effect at 24 hours post-harvest. For the pancreas, octreotide showed better performance. In the lungs, there was less interstitial oedema with erythropoietin and lazaroid compared with the control group at 8 hours post-harvest. CONCLUSION All molecules had a positive effect and decreased ischaemia/reperfusion graft injury. Thus, pretreatment before organ harvest has a beneficial role.

Abstract
Background Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has a pivotal role in the progression of acute renal failure. Reactive oxygen species are considered the major constituents involved in the biochemical and pathophysiological changes that were shown during kidney I/R. The purpose of this study was to examine the renoprotective effects of Stachys pilifera ethanolic extract on oxidant-antioxidant status in renal I/R-injuries in male rats. Material and methods. Twenty-one male Wistar rats were arbitrarily distributed into 3 groups: sham control (SC), I/R, and I/R + Stachys pilifera ethanolic extract (500 mg/kg). The artery and vein of the right kidney were completely blocked, and the right kidney was completely removed in all groups. Then, the left kidney artery was blocked with suture thread for 30 minutes in only I/R and I/R + SP extract groups. Kidney function indices, oxidative stress markers, and hematoxylin and eosin staining were investigated in the plasma and kidney tissues. Results It was shown that the urine Na and K, fractional excretion of Na and K, and protein carbonyl content markedly increased in the merely I/R group as compared to SC rats, while the administration of SP extract markedly reduced these indices (P < 0.05). Also, glomerular filtration rate and total thiol meaningfully reduced in the I/R rats in contrast to the SC group, while the treatment with SP extract markedly augmented these indices (P < 0.05). However, in agreement with renal function tests, SP extract had no significant effects on histopathological examinations. Conclusion It seems that SP extract employs renoprotective effects on renal damage induced by I/R, possibly by improving of oxidant-antioxidant status in favor of the antioxidant system.

Abstract
Melatonin (MT; N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine), which has multiple effects and roles, is secreted from the pineal gland at night according to the daily rhythm. In addition to circadian regulation, MT has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer functions. Recent studies postulated that MT serves a critical role in apoptosis, anti-ischemic reperfusion injury and anti-proliferative effects on various cells. The current review reported on the underlying mechanism behind the protective effect of MT on lung diseases, such as acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung ischemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis-induced lung injury and ventilator-induced lung injury. MT is considered an adjuvant with therapeutic drugs for preventing inflammation and is responsible for regulating patient sleep cycles in the intensive care unit. The current review described the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant efficiency of MT with a focus on the molecular mechanisms of action in various lung injuries.

Abstract
Kidney ischemia reperfusion (IR) contributes to the development of acute kidney injury. The hypoxic conditions in ischemic damage lead to oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death. We investigated the effects of vitamin D3 (Vit D) and erythropoietin (EPO) on microRNA-21(miR-21) expression in renal IR. Wistar rats were divided into five groups including the control, vehicle + IR, Vit D + IR, EPO + IR, and Vit D + EPO + IR groups. The animals were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 min of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Vitamin D3 and EPO were administered prior to ischemia. After 24 h reperfusion, the kidney samples were collected for the detection of miR-21, heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and caspase-3 expression levels. Kidney IR significantly increased the expression of miR-21, hsp70 and capase-3 and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-Cr levels. Treatment with vitamin D3 and EPO significantly decreased the BUN-Cr levels and hsp70 and caspase-3 expression. Also, the co-administration of two drugs significantly increased miR-21 expression. It seems that vitamin D3 or EPO administration could protect the kidney against IR injury. However, vitamin D3 and EPO co-treatment was the most effective compared with the other treatment groups.

Abstract
This study determines whether the viability of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro is most sensitive to oxygen supply, energetic substrate supply, or accumulation of lactate. Mouse unmodified (wild type (WT)) and erythropoietin (EPO) gene-modified MSC is cultured for 7 days in normoxic (21%) and anoxic conditions. WT-MSC is cultured in anoxia for 45 days in high and regular glucose media and both have similar viability when compared to their normoxic controls at 7 days. Protein production of EPO-MSC is unaffected by the absence of oxygen. MSC doubling time and post-anoxic exposure is increased (WT: 32.3-73.3 h; EPO: 27.2-115 h). High glucose leads to a 37% increase in cell viability at 13 days and 17% at 30 days, indicating that MSC anoxic survival is affected by supply of metabolic substrate. However, after 30 days, little difference in viability is found, and at 45 days, complete cell death occurs in both the conditions. This death cannot be attributed to lack of glucose or lactate levels. MSC stemness is retained for both osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations. The absence of oxygen increases the doubling time of MSC but does not affect their viability, protein production, or differentiation capacity.

Abstract
Introduction: Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (ARF). Free radicals are considered to be principal components involved in the pathophysiological alterations observed during IR. In this study, we evaluated the effects of vitamin D and erythropoietin (EPO) in IR–induced renal and liver damage. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five groups of 6 each. 1) The control, 2) IR, 3) VD3 (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) + IR, 4) EPO+ IR, and 5) VD3+EPO+ IR groups. The rats were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 minutes of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Vitamin D (10 mg/kg, IP) and EPO (1000 U/kg, IP) were administered prior to ischemia. After 24 hours reperfusion, the blood samples were collected for the determination of biochemical parameters and kidney and liver samples were taken for histological studies. Results: Renal ischemia significantly decreased kidney and liver functions. IR significantly increased blood urea nitrogen-creatinine (BUN-Cr), glucose, total protein and liver enzyme levels and significantly decreased hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) values. Histopathological findings of the IR group confirmed that there were glomerular atrophy and acute tubular necrosis in the renal tissues and lymphocyte infiltration in the liver samples. Treatment with vitamin D and EPO boosted liver and kidney functions and improved the morphological changes. Conclusion: It seems that vitamin D or EPO administration could protect the kidney and liver damage induced by IR. Also, the combination of vitamin D and EPO may exert more beneficial effects than either agent used alone.

Abstract
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion can cause injury to tissues and compromise functionality of organs due to inflammatory processes. Significantly, development of these effects in kidney tissue has been a challenging issue that leads to acute renal injury. In this study, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and protective features of dapsone on kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury were investigated.Material and methods: Renal ischemia was induced in rats by bilateral renal arteries clamping for 45 min followed by 24 h reperfusion phase. The effects of different doses of dapsone (1, 3, 10 mg/kg) on ischemia/reperfusion injury in kidney tissue were investigated by targeting BUN, Creatinine, LDH, MDA, MPO, IL-1β, TNF-α, and NFκB. In addition histopathological examination was performed by H&E staining method.Results and discussion: Comparing the findings of this study showed significant reduction in BUN and LDH in 10 mg/kg dapsone received groups, and Cr, MDA, and MPO in 3 mg/kg dapsone received groups. The serum level of TNF-α was significantly decreased with both doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg dapsone. The same results were observed in the serum level of IL-1β and NFκB. Besides, remarkable improvement in histological damages was also observed with dapsone treatment.Conclusion: These results support the hypothesis that the positive effects of dapsone on the renal ischemia/reperfusion injury are mediated by modulating inflammatory cascades.

Synergistic Effects of N-Acetylcysteine and Mesenchymal Stem Cell in a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Interstitial Cystitis Rat Model. Cells 2019; 9:cells9010086. [PMID: 31905757 PMCID: PMC7017055 DOI: 10.3390/cells9010086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Revised: 12/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to reduce the amount of stem cells used in treating preclinical interstitial cystitis (IC model) by investigating the synergistic effects of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (M-MSCs; human embryonic stem cell-derived) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Eight-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups, i.e., sham (n = 10), lipopolysaccharide/protamine sulfate (LPS/PS; n = 10), LPS/PS + NAC (n = 10), LPS/PS with 25K MSC (n = 10), LPS/PS with 50K MSC (n = 10) LPS/PS + 25K MSC + NAC (n = 10), and LPS/PS + 50K MSC + NAC (n = 10). To induce the IC rat model, protamine sulfate (10 mg, 45 min) and LPS (750 μg, 30 min) were instilled once a week for five consecutive weeks via a transurethral PE-50 catheter. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was used in the sham group. One week after the final instillation, M-MSCs with two suboptimal dosages (i.e., 2.5 or 5.0 × 104 cells) were directly transplanted into the outer-layer of the bladder. Simultaneously, 200 mg/kg of NAC or PBS was intraperitoneally injected daily for five days. The therapeutic outcome was evaluated one week after M-MSC or PBS injection by awake cystometry and histological analysis. Functionally, LPS/PS insult led to irregular micturition, decreased intercontraction intervals, and decreased micturition volume. Both monotherapy and combination therapy significantly increased contraction intervals, increased urination volume, and reduced the residual volume, thereby improving the urination parameters compared to those of the LPS group. In particular, a combination of NAC dramatically reduced the amount of M-MSCs used for significant restoration in histological damage, including inflammation and apoptosis. Both M-MSCs and NAC-based therapy had a beneficial effect on improving voiding dysfunction, regenerating denudated urothelium, and relieving tissue inflammation in the LPS-induced IC/BPS rat model. The combination of M-MSC and NAC was superior to MSC or NAC monotherapy, with therapeutic efficacy that was comparable to that of previously optimized cell dosage (1000K) without compromised therapeutic efficacy.

The renal protect function of erythropoietin after release of bilateral ureteral obstruction in a rat model. Clin Sci (Lond) 2018; 132:2071-2085. [PMID: 29959186 DOI: 10.1042/cs20180178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2018] [Revised: 06/20/2018] [Accepted: 06/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Congenital urinary tract obstruction is one of the most frequent malformations in fetuses or neonates, which usually causes profound impairment of renal function including reductions in both glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and tubular handling of water and solutes. Although obstruction can be released by surgical operation, the child will suffer from diuresis for sometime. It has been reported that erythropoietin (EPO) could prevent the down-regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and urinary-concentrating defects induced by renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, whether EPO could promote the recovery of renal function and AQP2 expression after releasing of ureteral obstruction has not been reported yet. The purposes of the present study were to investigate the effects of EPO on renal function and AQP2 expression after release of bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO-R) in rats. The results showed that EPO could promote interleukin (IL) 10 (IL-10) expression; inhibit tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expressions; reduce the fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and plasma creatinine (CREA) and urea; and promote the recovery of water and salt handling and AQP2 expression in BUO-R rats, especially in the high dose of EPO-treated group rats. In conclusion, EPO could promote the recovery of renal function and AQP2 expression in BUO-R rats, which may partially associate with its anti-inflammation effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether their combination was more effective than either alone in decreasing renal damage due to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. METHODS Thirty-two Wistar rats were assigned to four groups. Following right nephrectomy, their left kidneys were subjected to warm ischemia (IR), cold ischemia (TH+IR), intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg melatonin (MEL+IR), or injection of 10 mg/kg melatonin followed by cold ischemia (MEL+TH+IR). Eight randomly assigned right kidneys constituted the control group. After 240 min of reperfusion, left nephrectomy was performed for histopathological evaluation, lipid peroxidation, and measurement of antioxidant enzyme activity. Serum was collected to measure urea and creatinine concentrations. RESULTS Histopathological damage induced by ischemia and reperfusion was more attenuated in the MEL+TH+IR group than in the MEL+IR and TH+IR groups (p<0.037). Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly higher (p<0.029) and creatinine (p<0.001) and urea (p<0.001) concentrations were significantly lower in the MEL+TH+IR group than in the MEL+IR and TH+IR groups. CONCLUSION The combination of melatonin (MEL) and topical hypothermia (TH) better protects against renal I/R injury than does MEL or TH alone.

Abstract
Hypoxia can lead to changes in the blood flow, nutrition and oxygenation of male germ cells and results in fertility reduction through the increase in oxidative stress. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ghrelin on testicular damage induced by hypoxia in rats. In this experimental study, 24 male rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, hypoxia, hypoxia + ghrelin and ghrelin. Animals in the control and ghrelin groups were kept in room air with 21% oxygen. The animals in the groups of hypoxia and hypoxia + ghrelin were subjected to 11% oxygen for 14 consecutive days in the hypoxia chamber. At the end of the study, the testes were removed and histological changes, as well as the apoptotic index, were investigated. Morphometrical analysis showed that hypoxia caused a significant decrease in the seminiferous tubules diameter, the germinal epithelium thickness and main Johnson's score compared to the control group (p < .05). In addition, statistical comparisons revealed a significant increase in the apoptotic index in the hypoxia group (p < .05). Administration of ghrelin + hypoxia improved the parameters mentioned above (p < .05). The results of this study indicated that ghrelin decreases the testicular damages caused by hypoxia in the rats by antioxidative activity.
