  • ISOFLURANE PRODUCES DELAYED PRECONDITIONING AGAINST RENAL ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY VIA HYPOXIA INDUCIBLE FACTOR 1α ACTIVATION

    Objective Isoflurane has an acute preconditioning effectiveness against ischemia in kidney, but this beneficial effectiveness can only last for 2-3 hours. To investigate whether isoflurane produces delayed preconditioningagainst renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and whether this process is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor 1α(HIF- 1α). Methods A total of 52 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=13 in each group): the controlgroup (group A), PBS/isoflurane treated group (group B), scrambled small interference RNA (siRNA)/isoflurane treated group (group C), and HIF-1α siRNA/isoflurane treated group (group D). In groups C and D, 1 mL RNase-free PBS containing 50 μg scrambled siRNA or HIF-1α siRNA was administered via tail vein 24 hours before gas exposure, respectively. Equivalent RNasefree PBS was given in groups A and B. Then the mice in groups B, C, and D were exposed to 1.5% isoflurne and 25%O2 for 2 hours; while the mice in group A received 25%O2 for 2 hours. After 24 hours, 5 mice in each group were sacrificed to assesse the expressions of HIF-1α and erythropoietin (EPO) in renal cortex by Western blot. Renal I/R injury was induced with bilateral renal pedicle occlusion for 25 minutes followed by 24 hours reperfusion on the other 8 mice. At the end of reperfusion, the serum creatinine (SCr), the blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the histological grading were measured. Results The expressions of HIF-1α and EPO in groups B and C were significantly higher than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). The concentrations of SCr and BUN in groups B and C were significantly lower than those in group A, as well as the scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the injury of kidney was amel iorated noticeably in groups B and C. The expressions of HIF-1α and the concentrations of SCr and BUN in group D were significantly lower than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). Compared with groups B and C, the expression of HIF- 1α and EPO in group D decreased markedly (P lt; 0.01), the concentrations of SCr and BUN were increased obviously, as well asthe scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the renal injury was aggratived significantly. Conclusion Isoflurane produces delayed preconditioning against renal I/R injury, and this beneficial effectiveness may be mediated by HIF-1α.
