TL;DR: Evidence indicating that the inordinate or aberrant generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to the initiation and maintenance of ATN is reviewed, and the possibility that ROS may participate in the recovery phase of ATn is raised.

TL;DR: Treatment with SS-31 protected mitochondrial structure and respiration during early reperfusion, accelerated recovery of ATP, reduced apoptosis and necrosis of tubular cells, and abrogated tubular dysfunction, suggesting that it may protect against ischemic renal injury.
Abstract: The burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during reperfusion of ischemic tissues can trigger the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore, resulting in mitochondrial depolarization, decreased ATP synthesis, and increased ROS production. Rapid recovery of ATP upon reperfusion is essential for survival of tubular cells, and inhibition of oxidative damage can limit inflammation. SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that can scavenge mitochondrial ROS and inhibit MPT, suggesting that it may protect against ischemic renal injury. Here, in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, treatment with SS-31 protected mitochondrial structure and respiration during early reperfusion, accelerated recovery of ATP, reduced apoptosis and necrosis of tubular cells, and abrogated tubular dysfunction. In addition, SS-31 reduced medullary vascular congestion, decreased IR-mediated oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, and accelerated the proliferation of surviving tubular cells as early as 1 day after reperfusion. In summary, these results support MPT as an upstream target for pharmacologic intervention in IR injury and support early protection of mitochondrial function as a therapeutic maneuver to prevent tubular apoptosis and necrosis, reduce oxidative stress, and reduce inflammation. SS-31 holds promise for the prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury.

TL;DR: The results suggest that resveratrol reduced the renal ischemia reperfusion injury through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the pathophysiology of renal ischemia reperfusion injury. Antioxidants including polyphenolics have been found to protect renal cells from the cellular injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion. Resveratrol, a stilbene polyphenol found in grapes and red wine, has recently been found to protect isolated rat heart from ischemia reperfusion injury. This study was sought to determine if resveratrol could also protect renal cells from ischemic injury. Male Wistar rats were treated with control, resveratrol (0.23 microg/kg), vehicle used to solubilize resveratrol, and resveratrol plus L-NAME (15 mg/kg body wt), a nitric oxide blocker. Our results demonstrated that resveratrol administration reduced the mortality of ischemic rats from 50% to 10% and renal damage was reduced as indicated by histologic examination and serum creatinine level. The short-term administration of resveratrol also inhibited renal lipid peroxidation induced by ischemia and reperfusion both in cortex and in medulla. Electron paramagnetic resonance detected an increased formation of nitric oxide in the resveratrol-treated kidney that was reduced to the baseline value after treating the rats with L-NAME in addition to resveratrol. The results suggest that resveratrol reduced the renal ischemia reperfusion injury through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

TL;DR: The data clearly demonstrate that oxidative stress and RNS generation occur in the kidney during ischemia, and indicates that reactive nitrogen species (RNS) formation during I-R injury is driven by oxidant stress.

TL;DR: The results document the anti-ischemic efficacy of a novel and potent inhibitor of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation and further support a key role of oxygen radicals in postischemi brain damage.
Abstract: U78517F is a novel inhibitor of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation that combines the tetramethylchroman antioxidant ring portion of alpha-tocopherol with the amine of the previously described 21-aminosteroids (e.g., U74006F). U78517F inhibited 200 microM FeCl2-initiated lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates by 50% at a concentration of 0.6 microM compared with 8 microM for U74006F, 28 microM for alpha-tocopherol, and 43 microM for the ring portion of alpha-tocopherol (i.e., trolox). U78517F is devoid of hypothermic or antiexcitotoxic actions or interactions with known neurotransmitter receptors. When administered intraperitoneally to male gerbils at 10 minutes before and again at the end of a 3-hour period of unilateral carotid artery occlusion, U78517F decreased 24-hour postischemic cortical neuronal necrosis. Neuronal density in the medial portion of the cortex was increased from 34.2% of normal in vehicle-treated animals to 86.3% in the U78517F-treated animals. In the lateral cortical area, the vehicle group showed only 3.3% neuronal survival versus 48.2% in the drug-treated group. In a separate series of experiments with the same focal ischemia model, identical dosing with U78517F enhanced the postischemic recovery of cortical extracellular calcium without any effect on ischemic or postischemic cortical blood flow. The effect on calcium recovery was observed at intraperitoneal doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg. The compound also was effective in partially attenuating 1-week postischemic hippocampal CA1 neuronal loss in a gerbil global ischemia model involving brief (15-minute) bilateral carotid occlusion, but sustained dosing was required. These results document the anti-ischemic efficacy of a novel and potent inhibitor of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation and further support a key role of oxygen radicals in postischemic brain damage.

TL;DR: Observations are consistent with the lazaroids being scavengers of oxygen-based and nitrogen-based free radicals and suggest that the neuroprotective actions of the lazeroids in cerebral ischemia may involve direct interactions of theLazaroids with several different species of free radicals.

TL;DR: An early index of lipid peroxidation (diene conjugation) suggested peroxidative damage during the warm ischaemic period itself, whilst detection of Schiff bases was only possible after in vitro incubation of the tissue.
Abstract: 1. 1. Rabbit kidneys were clamped and rendered warm ischaemic (WI) in situ for 60 and 120 min. They were then either removed immediately after the ischaemic insult or after reperfusion with blood for 60 min or 24 hr. 2. 2. Homogenates were assayed for phospholipid-Schiff base fluorescence (Ex. 360 nm, Em. 435 nm) and for diene conjugate formation by u.v. spectrophotometry (240 nm) as indices of lipid peroxidation. 3. 3. No alteration in tissue levels of Schiff base was evident immediately after WI but when the homogenates were incubated at 37°C for 90 min, the rate of peroxidation was significantly elevated compared to controls ( P after WI of 60 min and P after 120 min of WI). 4. 4. These values were still further elevated after reperfusion with blood for 60 min and 24 hr ( P ). 5. 5. Diene conjugates were raised after WI alone and further still after reperfusion. 6. 6. Thus an early index of lipid peroxidation (diene conjugation) suggested peroxidative damage during the warm ischaemic period itself, whilst detection of Schiff bases was only possible after in vitro incubation of the tissue. 7. 7. Both indices of oxygen-derived free radical damage were increased after reperfusion in vivo with blood and may relate to the degree of tissue damage sustained during ischaemia and reflow.
