Systemic TLR2 Antibody Application in Renal Ischaemia and Reperfusion Injury Decreases AKT Phosphorylation and Increases Apoptosis in the Mouse Kidney.
In the study, to investigate the molecular mechanisms of curcumin effects in kidney ischemia/reperfusion model, we observed the effect of curcumin in experimental models of IR-induced AKI and we found that curcumin treatment significantly increased the expression of APPL1 and inhibited the activation of Akt after IR treatment in the kidney.
The impact of arginase activity and expression on renal damage was evaluated in male C57BL/6J (wild type) and arginase-2 (ARG2)-deficient (<i>Arg2<sup>-/-</sup></i> ) mice subjected to bilateral renal ischemia for 28 min, followed by reperfusion for 24 h. ARG2 expression and arginase activity significantly increased following renal IRI, paralleling the increase in kidney injury.
Juxtanuclear accumulation of ATG9A and defective autophagy are also evident in tissues of smpd1-deficient mice with a subsequent inability to cope with kidney ischemia-reperfusion stress.
Lack of caspase-1 was sufficient to prevent the inflammatory response and cardiac dysfunction (such as an increase of QJ interval), however, caspase-1 knockout mice subjected to the renal ischemia/reperfusion protocol still developed cardiac hypertrophy.
ITF 1697 prevented a systemic response to IRI: a significant surge in the levels of eotaxin and IL-8 (KC; both components of WPB), IL-1α, IL-1β, and RANTES was all prevented or blunted by the administration of ITF 1697, whereas the levels of an anti-inflammatory, IL-10, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α were upregulated in ITF 1697-treated animals.

In an in vivo study, mice were implanted with Alzet osmotic pumps (10 μg ITF 1697·kg(-1)·min(-1) at volume of 1 μl/h) and subjected to renal ischemia (IRI).
Examination of graded times of renal ischemia revealed a direct correlation between the degree of kidney injury and both Chi3l1/Brp-39 expression in the kidney and its levels in the urine.
In vivo, Tisp40 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to thirty minutes of bilateral renal ischemia and 48h reperfusion, the blood and kidneys were harvested for analysis.
