Ferroptosis, as a novel regulable cell death, is characterized by iron overload, glutathione depletion, and an accumulation of lipid peroxides. Recently, it has been discovered that ferroptosis is involved in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and plays a crucial role in renal tubular cell death. In this study, we tried to investigate the effect and mechanism of liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) in I/R-induced AKI and seek the key regulator of ferroptosis in I/R-induced AKI. Mice were administrated with clamping bilateral renal pedicles for 30 min. We found that early growth response 1 (EGR1) might be a key regulator of ferroptosis, and Lip-1 could suppress ferroptosis via EGR1. Meanwhile, Lip-1 could reduce macrophage recruitment and the release of inflammatory cytokines. These findings indicated that Lip-1 alleviated I/R-induced AKI via regulating EGR1, and it might pave the theoretical basis of a new therapeutic strategy for I/R-induced AKI.

A growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of long noncoding ribose nucleic acids (lncRNAs) in acute kidney injury (AKI). This study focused on the mechanistic role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-mediated AKI. A model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was created using human kidney cells (HK-2).

Background: Fangji Huangqi Decoction (FJHQD), a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, has been widely applied in improving renal function. However, the interaction of bioactives from FJHQD with the targets involved in acute renal injury (AKI) has not been elucidated yet.

Purpose: A network pharmacology-based approach combined with molecular docking and in vitro and in vivo validation was performed to determine the bioactives, key targets, and potential pharmacological mechanism of FJHQD against AKI.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent findings reveal that the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) plays a significant role in inflammation, but its exact functions in acute kidney injury (AKI) are still not well understood.
  • In mouse models of AKI induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion, depletion of LTβR led to reduced kidney damage and inflammation, suggesting that LTβR primarily affects renal parenchymal cells during injury.
  • RNA sequencing showed that the protective effects observed with LTβR depletion are linked to the activation of PPARα signaling, indicating that targeting the LTβR/PPARα pathway could offer new therapeutic strategies for managing AKI.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in conditions like kidney transplants, cardiac surgeries, and nephrectomy, contributing to high global mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to analyze the protective effects of 2'-hydroxychalcones in treating I/R-induced AKI by targeting key pathological pathways. Considering strong antioxidant action along with other pharmacological roles of chalcone derivatives, six 2'-hydroxychalcones were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation and analyzed for their protective effects in an I/R induced AKI model using HK-2 cells.
