Cisplatin is an efficient chemotherapeutic agent for various solid tumors, but its usage is restricted by nephrotoxicity. A single dose of cisplatin can cause acute kidney injury (AKI), which is characterized by rapid reduction in kidney function. However, the current therapies, such as hydration, are limited.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent clinical condition caused by sepsis and ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. The principal driver of IR-induced AKI involves renal tubular structural changes triggered by the impairment of function in renal tubular cells. The target gene, Acyl-CoA Synthetase Family Member 2 (ACSF2), was retrieved from the GEO database based on high specific expression in renal tubular cells and location in mitochondria.

Its role in acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been fully investigated. Ferroptosis, a unique form of regulated cell death, is involved in various types of renal injuries.

However, little is known about the role of A2bR renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The A2bR expression levels in RCC 769-P and Caki-1 cell lines compared with HK-2 were analyzed by qRT-PCR.
