Dexamethasone Ameliorates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Abstract: In the setting of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), the effect and mechanism of action of glucocorticoids are not well understood. In rat renal IRI, a single dose of dexamethasone administered before ischemia, or at the onset of reperfusion, ameliorated biochemical and histologic acute kidney injury after 24 h. Dexamethasone upregulated Bcl-xL, downregulated ischemia-induced Bax, inhibited caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, and reduced apoptosis and necrosis of proximal tubular cells. In addition, dexa… Show more

“…Dexamethasone was shown to regulate NHE3 (Wang et al, 2007) and protect the kidney from ischemic injury by GR-dependent, nongenomic mechanisms (Kumar et al, 2009). Figure 3, A and B, shows that the dexamethasone-induced stimulation of Mrp2-mediated transport was not affected when tubules were preincubated with actinomycin D, an inhibitor of transcription, or cycloheximide, an inhibitor of translation.…”

“…We do not know if this event has any physiological relevance in ␤-cells chronically exposed to GCs. Interestingly, DEX enhanced ERK1/2 phosphorylation at times up to 20 min in the kidney cell line HK-2, which was correlated to a protective effect against kidney injury, probably by a mechanism independent of transcriptional activity (29). Of note, rapid stimulation of MKP-1 and MKP-3 expression was described to be mediated by ERK1/2 activation, resulting in a negative feedback over this signaling pathway (17,40).…”

“…Achados de Brasil et al (1999) e Annane & Cavaillo (2003) demonstraram que a utilização de corticosteróides inibe a liberação de citocinas inϐlamatórias como o TNF-α, reduzindo a proliferação e inϐiltração leucocitária, o que tornaria seu uso benéϐico em modelos de sepse. Sabe--se que a inϐiltração leucocitária está associada a lesões em diversos tecidos, mas especialmente o renal e pulmonar (Bai et al 2009, Kumar et al 2009, Maisel et al 2011. Existem diversos trabalhos que obtiveram redução de mediadores inϐlamatórios com a utilização de corticóides.…”

“…Existem diversos trabalhos que obtiveram redução de mediadores inϐlamatórios com a utilização de corticóides. Kumar et al (2009) observaram que a dexametasona administrada em ratos antes e após isquemia e reperfusão renal foi capaz de proteger o órgão contra a injúria, reduzindo inclusive a creatinina sérica, quando comparado ao grupo controle, bem como redução marcante na inϐiltração leucocitaria renal. Green et al (2009), trabalhando com pessoas portadoras de meningite tuberculosa, constataram que o efeito bené-ϐico que a dexametasona exerce sobre a evolução da doença podem ser devidos a redução da MMP-9 e da contagem de neutróϐilos no ϐluido cérebro-espinhal dos pacientes, os quais encontravam-se fortemente correlacionados.…”
