Caffeine inhibits hypoxia-induced renal fibroblast activation by antioxidant mechanism

Abstract: Caffeine has been demonstrated to possess anti-fibrotic activity against liver fibrosis. However, its role in renal fibrosis remained unclear. This study investigated the effects of caffeine on renal fibroblast activation induced by hypoxia (one of the inducers for renal fibrosis). BHK-21 fibroblasts were cultured under normoxia or hypoxia with or without caffeine treatment. Hypoxia increased levels of fibronectin, α-smooth muscle actin, actin stress fibers, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and oxi… Show more

“…Hence, SSAO inhibition aids patients with diabetes to decrease the levels of toxic compounds. Caffeine is a natural substance with antioxidant capacity commonly consumed worldwide in daily life [ 77 , 78 ]. It has the ability of inhibiting SSAO as it contains an imidazole ring [ 68 , 79 ].…”

“…For example, caffeine prevented acute ROS-induced necrosis in human skin fibroblasts and inhibited oxidative stress-induced aging by activating autophagy (Li et al, 2018). Additionally, caffeine was found to reduce oxidative stress by antioxidant mechanism (Badshah et al, 2019;Nilnumkhum et al, 2019).…”

“…Glomeruli have not any stain in all sections of all study groups. ROS mediated by both ASP and caffeine products, increase lipolysis, renal ischemia and pro‐inflammatory cells; all are predisposing factors for occurring of renal fibrosis and so of collagen and high alpha‐smooth muscles deposition (Nilnumkhum, Kanlaya, Yoodee, & Thongboonkerd, 2019).…”
