TLDR
Implementing compounds that stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis can restore mitochondrial and renal function in mouse models of AKI and diabetes mellitus and inhibiting the fission protein dynamin 1-like protein (DRP1) might ameliorate ischaemic renal injury by blocking mitochondrial fission.Abstract:
The kidney requires a large number of mitochondria to remove waste from the blood and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Mitochondria provide the energy to drive these important functions and can adapt to different metabolic conditions through a number of signalling pathways (for example, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways) that activate the transcriptional co-activator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ co-activator 1α (PGC1α), and by balancing mitochondrial dynamics and energetics to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to a decrease in ATP production, alterations in cellular functions and structure, and the loss of renal function. Persistent mitochondrial dysfunction has a role in the early stages and progression of renal diseases, such as acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetic nephropathy, as it disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis and thus normal kidney function. Improving mitochondrial homeostasis and function has the potential to restore renal function, and administering compounds that stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis can restore mitochondrial and renal function in mouse models of AKI and diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, inhibiting the fission protein dynamin 1-like protein (DRP1) might ameliorate ischaemic renal injury by blocking mitochondrial fission.read more

Levosimendan in rats decreases acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation by improving mitochondrial dysfunction
TL;DR: In this paper, a rat model of asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was set up, and the authors found that the CPR group had a significant increase in renal tissue damage.

Probing the Hidden Role of Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Dysfunction in the Etiology of Aristolochic Acid Nephropathy.
Wan Chan,Yat-Hing Ham +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential causative role of mitochondrial dysfunction in Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) development was tested and it was shown that AA exposure induces an exposure concentration and duration dependent lowering of adenosine triphosphate in both cultured human kidney and liver cells, highlighting an AA exposure effect on mitochondrial energy production.

Biochemistry and molecular cell biology of diabetic complications
TL;DR: This integrating paradigm provides a new conceptual framework for future research and drug discovery in diabetes-specific microvascular disease and seems to reflect a single hyperglycaemia-induced process of overproduction of superoxide by the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.

Oxidative stress and diabetic complications
TL;DR: Athrosclerosis and cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetes are caused in part by pathway-selective insulin resistance, which increases mitochondrial ROS production from free fatty acids and by inactivation of antiatherosclerosis enzymes by ROS.

TL;DR: PGC-1, a cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration in muscle cells through an induction of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) and through regulation of the nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs).
