Endogenous Interleukin-6 Enhances the Renal Injury, Dysfunction, and Inflammation Caused by Ischemia/Reperfusion

Abstract: Here, we investigate the effects of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on the degree of renal injury, dysfunction, and inflammation in interleukin (IL)-6 knockout (IL-6 Ϫ/Ϫ ) mice and mice administered a monoclonal antibody against IL-6. IL-6 Ϫ/Ϫ mice were subjected to bilateral renal artery occlusion (30 min) and reperfusion (24 h). At the end of experiments, indicators and markers of renal dysfunction, injury, and inflammation were measured. Kidneys were used for histological evaluation of renal injury. Renal … Show more

“…Because inhibition of apoptosis, IL-6, or P-selectin has been demonstrated to protect against I/R-induced organ failure in the kidney, 15,[22][23][24] heart, 35,36 brain, 37,38 intestine, 39 and liver, 40 GC-G may also be involved in I/R-induced abnormalities in other organs, such as acute myocardial infarction in the heart or stroke in the brain, which warrants further investigation. Although the exact mechanism by which GC-G is regulated under renal I/R remains undefined, a simple regulatory mechanism could be that renal I/R induces the release of endogenous ligand(s) and modulates GC-G activity to transmit the injury signal leading to apoptosis and inflammation.…”

“…34 Proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 was previously found to be produced by macrophages infiltrating adjacent to ischemic vascular bundles of the outer medulla. 22,23 A local increase in IL-6 was shown to promote PMN accumulation within the ischemic renal tissue by directly amplifying a substantial production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1␤ and TNF-␣ and/or an upregulation of the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and P-selectin on the endothelium. 22,23 Because we failed to localize GC-G expression in any of the infiltrating PMN or in the endothelial layer of peritubular capillaries and interlobular arteries (Figure 2, E and F), the effects of GC-G on I/R-induced inflammation might be mediated through an indirect mechanism in these cell types.…”
