Abstract

Tec kinase is an important mediator in inflammatory immune response that enhances the activity of neutrophils and macrophages. However, information on its function in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is limited. This study is aimed at determining whether Tec kinase was a regulator in AKI. An AKI model in mice was successfully established using intraperitoneal LPS. Results showed that the serum levels of creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and cystatin-C (Cys-C) increased after intraperitoneal LPS injection. Renal tissue sustained significantly severe injury as measured by pathological scores. Pretreatment with LFM-A13 improved the function of the kidney in mice and decreased the renal injury score. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that LFM-A13 significantly reduced the release of IL-1β and TNF-α in mice exposed to LPS. LFM-A13 can evidently abrogate the expression of Tec protein, MyD88, TLR4, NF-κB p65, and Tec's phosphorylated protein as determined by Western blot. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that LFM-A13 markedly downregulated the expression of Tec kinase in renal tubular epithelial cells. In vitro, Tec kinase protein was expressed highly in NRK-52E cells after LPS exposu...Continue Reading
