Ischemia/Reperfusion of Unilateral Kidney Exaggerates Aging-Induced Damage to the Heart and Contralateral Kidney

Abstract: Aims: We aimed to determine the impact of aging on ischemic acute kidney injury, especially in terms of the pathological mechanisms of kidney and heart crosstalk. Method: The effects of 45 min of unilateral ischemic reperfusion (IR) of the renal artery on the contralateral kidney and heart were histologically assessed in 7- and 40-week-old SD rats after 7 days. Results: Glomerular sclerosis, interstitial fibrosis and numbers of ED1 cells were significantly increased in the contralateral kidneys of the 40-, but… Show more

“…Finally, our data might be explained by crucial interactions between CsA, age, and oxidative stress [15,47]. Indeed, increased oxidative stress is well known to participate in mitochondrial dysfunction [10,35] and CsA significantly increased ROS production in both ischemic and no ischemic hindlimbs.…”

“…According to our results, the number of ED‐1‐positive cells in the contralateral kidney was increased even in the sham group, which indicated that oxidative stress in kidneys was already increased before I/R. In addition, aging is a well‐known risk factor for oxidative stress and is a possible factor in DOI . Taken together, the basic condition of oxidative stress in individual distant organs might be associated with the pathogenesis of DOI following I/R.…”

“…5 These harmful aspects of renal I/R are not limited to the ischaemic kidney itself, but elicit distant organ injury (DOI) in the contralateral kidney, heart, lung, liver and brain, and they are accompanied by inflammation. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, are commonly used to lower serum cholesterol levels, and they are effective for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. 15,16 Statins possess strong anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative capabilities that are independent of their direct lipidlowering properties.…”

“…The rat model used in the present study is a wellestablished in vivo model of acute kidney injury 18,25 and is supported by a recent systematic review and meta-analysis. 2 Cross-clamping of the renal pedicle for 45 minutes produces significant but not fatal ischemic injury.…”
