Background: The role of histone methyltransferase SETDB1 in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has not been explored yet. This study aims to investigate the potential mechanism of SETDB1 in regulating renal I/R injury and its impact on mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress.
Methods: The in vivo model of renal I/R in mice and the in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were constructed to detect the expression of SETDB1. Next, the specific inhibitor (R,R)-59 and knockdown viruses were used to inhibit SETDB1 and verify its effects on mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) were implemented to explore the in-depth mechanism of SETDB1 regulating renal I/R injury.
Results: The study found that SETDB1 had a regulatory role in mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress during renal I/R injury. Notably, SESN2 was identified as a target of SETDB1, and its expression was under the influence of SETDB1. Besides, SESN2 mediated the regulation of SETDB1 on renal I/R injury. Through deeper mechanistic studies, we uncovered that SETDB1 collaborates with heterochromatin HP1β, facilitating the labeling of H3K9me3 on the SESN2 promoter and impeding SESN2 expression.
Conclusions: The SETDB1/HP1β-SESN2 axis emerges as a potential therapeutic strategy for mitigating renal I/R injury.

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.

Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.

Purpose: To evaluate stone free rate (SFR) predictivity of three different scoring systems in patients with kidney stones larger than 20 millimeters undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery(RİRS).
Methods: Digital records of a total of 166 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Epidemiological characteristics (age, gender, medical history) of the patients, stone and affected kidney characteristics (size, volume, location, density, opaque, presence of urinary system anomaly, presence of stones in different calyx, number of stones, lower pole stone, renal infundibulopelvic angle (IPA), renal infundibulopelvic length (RIL), hydronephrosis), and operative characteristics (preoperative ureteral stent, operation duration, postoperative residual fragments, hospitalization time and complications were recorded.

Introduction: Ischemia followed by reperfusion in organ transplantations can lead to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, which is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Alpha-pinene is an organic terpene with well-known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. This study examines the preventive effects of alpha-pinene against renal I-R-induced kidney dysfunction, oxidative and inflammatory status, apoptosis, and histopathology changes.

Background: Recent data has shown a considerable advancement in understanding the role of lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) in inflammation. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of LTβR in acute kidney injury (AKI) remain largely unknown.
Methods: AKI was induced in mice by renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).
