Abstract

A major feature of the injury sustained by the kidney during obstructive nephropathy is a profound induction of apoptosis in the tubular epithelium. In this study, we explored the central roles of mitochondria and the mechanism of the protective effect of the mitochondrial targeted peptides in tubular cell apoptosis and interstitial fibrosis during obstructive nephropathy. Unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) was performed on rats, and the animals were randomly assigned to intravenous treatment with normal saline, rat serum albumin (RSA), or HOCl-rat serum albumin (HOCl-RSA) in the presence or absence of SS-31. A sham-operation control group was set up by left ureteral dissociation but not ligation. Compared with the control group, UUO animals displayed fibrotic abnormalities, accompanied by increased expression of collagen-I, fibronectin, α-SMA protein and mRNA in the renal interstitium. They also displayed oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased levels of HOCl-alb, TBARS, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decrease in MnSOD activity in the renal homogenate. Damage to mitochondrial structure and functions was observed, as evidenced by a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ATP productio...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
