Antithrombin reduces ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury in rats by inhibiting leukocyte activation through promotion of prostacyclin production

Abstract: Antithrombin (AT) supplementation in patients with severe sepsis has been shown to improve organ failures in which activated leukocytes are critically involved. However, the precise mechanism(s) for the therapeutic effects of AT is not well understood. We examined in rats whether AT reduces ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced renal injury by inhibiting leukocyte activation. AT markedly reduced the I/R-induced renal dysfunction and histologic changes, whereas neither dansyl glutamylglycylarginyl chloromethyl ket… Show more

“…Accumulation of neutrophis in the kidney was evaluated by measuring renal myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity at 6 h after reperfusion as described previously (16). In brief, the kidney was removed, weighed, and homogenized in 10% (w/v) 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) containing 0.5% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and sonicated for 20 s. After centrifugation (4500g for 20 min at 4˚C), 0.1 ml of the supernatant was added to 0.55 ml 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) containing 1.25 mg/ml o-dianisidine and 0.05% hydrogen peroxide.…”

“…A large number of cytokines generated by I/RIRI, including TNF-α, may promote the expression of ICAM-1 and induce adhesion, aggregation of neutrophile granulocytes on microvascular endothelial cells (9). It is an indicator of I/RIRI inflammatory reactions in vascular endothelial cells (10). In the present study, tanshinone IIA significantly mitigated the TNF-α and IL-6 activities in I/RIRI rats.…”

“…The occurrence of I/RIRI may trigger acute rejection and induce early allograft function failure, or it may lead to delayed recovery of allograft function, accelerate loss of allograft function and shorten lifespan (9). The pathogenetic mechanism underlying I/RIRI is complicated, involved in free radical, calcium overloading, energy metabolism dysfunction, inflammatory medium and adhesion molecule, upregulation of cytokines, endothelial dysfunction, abnormal blood rheology and increased apoptosis (10,11).…”
