- Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity after vascular surgery (affecting the renal arteries) or aortic surgery (requiring suprarenal aortic clamping). These types of vascular surgery produce renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common cause of AKI. The present studies aimed at monitoring the course of renal I/R injury at the cellular level and investigating the efficacy of long-term preoperative and single-shot intraoperative administration of sodium pentosan polysulfate (PPS) to protect renal tissue from acute I/R injury both in native and diabetic kidneys in rats. Western blot analyses of the proapoptotic (bax) and antiapoptotic (bcl-2) signaling pathways, as well as the extent of DNA damage (phospho-p53), were performed. Oxidative stress followed upon the termination of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, thiol group, and superoxide dismutase plasma levels. Inflammatory changes were measured by the determination of serum tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1 levels. Morphological changes were detected by histological examinations. Our results showed that the long-term administration of PPS has an advantage in reducing I/R kidney injury in diabetic rats, while high-dose, single-shot parenteral administration of PPS prior to revascularization might be useful in nondiabetic rats.
