A role for oxygen free radicals in aminonucleoside nephrosis

Abstract: The cellular processes responsible for the proteinuria induced by the aminonucleoside of puromycin (PA) remain inadequately defined. Hypoxanthine is both a metabolic breakdown product of PA as well as a substrate for xanthine oxidase, which catalyzes its enzymatic conversion to xanthine and uric acid, yielding the superoxide anion in the process. We examined whether oxygen free radical production contributes to the development of proteinuria in this model. Seven groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied.… Show more

“…Several facts may explain the alterations of MDA, vitamin C and E levels in INS. First, free radicals are possible mediators of injury in nephrosis by enhancing permeability of the glomerular capillary wall, 26 meanwhile, dyslipidemia of INS is known to be associated with oxidative stress. 12 Hence, MDA, by-product of lipid membranes peroxidation, would increase due to the above-mentioned mechanisms, similar results were observed in the active or remission stage of INS in our study.…”

“…Importantly, a central role for XOR also has been demonstrated in a variety of clinical disorders and relevant animal models associated with oxidative stress or injury, including inflammation, infection, ischemic tissue injury, and various cancers (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). In acute renal failure, endotoxin-induced mucosal injury, viral pneumonia, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cutaneous photosensitivity to hematoporphyrins, excess XOR-derived ROS have been demonstrated to cause tissue injury (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22).…”

“…Oxidants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of renal diseases including ischaemia/reperfusion injury, aminonucleoside nephrosis, gentamicin nephrotoxicity, and acute nephrotoxic nephritis (Paller et al 1984;Rehan et al 1984;Baud & Ardaillou 1986;Diamond et al 1986;Walker & Shah 1988). While the importance of oxidants in the pathogenesis of experimental renal injury has been established, the cellular mechanisms that result in the cell death remain uncertain (Baliga et al 1999).…”
