Activation of Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway by Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β Inhibition Attenuates Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Diabetic Rats
Background/Aims: Diabetes mellitus can exacerbate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (RI/RI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of GSK-3β inhibition (TDZD-8) on I/R-induced renal injury through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in a streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat m...

Renal function was assessed from blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr), as determined utlizing commercial kits. Oxidative stress and inflammatory activity in the kidney tissue was estimated from levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and nitric oxide (NO), as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) using qRT-PCR and ELISA. The expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, Bcl-2 and NF-κB in the renal tissue were measured by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Results: I/R-induced renal inflammation was reduced significantly by TDZD-8 pretreatment. Preconditioning with TDZD-8 suppressed NF-κB expression and enhanced Bcl-2 expression in the renal tissue. The upregulated level of malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in I/R-shocked rats were markedly restored by TDZD-8 pretreatment. Furthermore, pretreatment with TDZD-8 enhanced activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in the renal tissue of diabetic RI/RI rats. Conclusion: These findings suggest that preconditioning with TDZD-8 may protect the kidney from I/R-induced damage via the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Further detailed studies are needed to further clarify the underlying mechanisms.http://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/477947TDZD-8Nrf2/HO-1Bcl-2NF-κBIschemia/reperfusionDiabetes mellitus |
