Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a critical risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent studies provided evidence that tubular epithelial cells (TEC)-associated inflammation aggravates kidney injury and impairs tissue repair after I/R injury. Here we demonstrated that the Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is activated by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) during I/R injury via direct interactions between the inflammasome and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP). Firstly, we found that NLRP3 inflammasome activation was induced by I/R injury, peaking at day 3 after reperfusion. Consistent with this observation, NLRP3 deletion significantly attenuated I/R-induced kidney damage and markers of inflammasome activation. Then, we observed mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by ultrastructural changes and cytochrome C (Cyt c) redistribution. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoTEMPO prevented mROS overproduction and the decline in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in vitro. MitoTEMPO treatment also inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and co-localization of NLRP3 and TXNIP after simulated ischemia/reperfusion (SI/R) injury. Finally, we transfected HK-2 cells with TXNIP siRNA to explore the r...Continue Reading
