Abstract EN
Oxidative stress and apoptosis play a key role in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI).
Dexmedetomidine (DEX) may present renal protective effects in sepsis.
Therefore, we studied antioxidant effects and the mechanism of DEX in an inflammatory proximal tubular epithelial cell model and lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced AKI in mice.
Methods.
We assessed renal function (creatinine, urea nitrogen), histopathology, oxidative stress (malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)), and apoptosis (TUNEL staining and Cleaved caspase-3) in mice.
In vitro experiments including Cleaved caspase-3 and p75NTR/p38MAPK/JNK signaling pathways were evaluated using western blot.
Reactive oxidative species (ROS) production and apoptosis were determined using flow cytometry.
Results.
DEX significantly improved renal function and kidney injury and also revert the substantially increased level of MDA concentrations as well as the reduction of the SOD enzyme activity found in LPS-induced AKI mice.
In parallel, DEX treatment also reduced the apoptosis and Cleaved caspase-3 expression evoked by LPS.
The expression of p75NTR was increased in kidney tissues of mice with AKI but decreased after treatment with DEX.
In cultured human renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2 cells), DEX inhibited LPS-induced apoptosis and generation of ROS, but this was reversed by overexpression of p75NTR.
Furthermore, pretreatment with DEX significantly downregulated phosphorylation of JNK and p38MAPK in LPS-stimulated HK-2 cells, and this effect was abolished by overexpression of p75NTR.
Conclusion.
DEX ameliorated AKI in mice with sepsis by partially reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis through regulation of p75NTR/p38MAPK/JNK signaling pathways.
