Abstract
Membrane phospholipolysis during ischemic cell injury is accompanied by the activation of a novel calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in the proximal tubule. Long-chain fatty acid metabolic products produced by phospholipase A2 activation accumulate during ischemia as a result of the inhibition of fatty acid beta-oxidation on the mitochondria and peroxisomes. Altogether, lysophospholipids, long-chain acyl carnitines, and long-chain acyl coenzyme A inhibit proximal tubule Na+K(+)-ATPase. Metabolic regulation of the gene expression of fatty acid beta-oxidation enzymes during ischemic acute renal failure may represent a novel therapeutic maneuver to enhance the recovery of kidney function during ischemia.Entities:
