Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect and mechanism of mitochondria-targeted peptides (MTP131 and SPI20) on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in rats with hypercholesterolemia. METHOD: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal diet group (NN, n = 8) and high cholesterol supplemented dietary group (HN, n = 32). At the end of 8 weeks, the group HN was divided into four subgroups. All Rats were given injection of either diatrizoate (10 mL/kg) or equal volume of normal saline, the rats pretreated with MTP131 or SPI20 were given injection with MTP131 or SPI 20 (3 mg/kg) by peritoneal cavity for 3 times. Blood, urine and renal tissue samples were prepared to determine biochemical parameters. The renal pathological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining and scored semiquantitatively, The protein expression of renal NOX4 was also measured by Western blotting. RESULTS: In diatrizoate-injected rats, Serum creatinine (Scr), fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa%), fractional excretion of potassium (FeK%), pathological scores, renal malondialdehyde (MDA) content, the NADPH oxidase activity and the expression of NOX4 in kidney tissue were significantly increased (p < 0.01). In the groups pretreated with MTP131 or SPI20, the levels of Scr, FeNa%, FeK%, MDA content and NADPH oxidase activity in renal tissue decreased (p < 0.01), the levels of renal super oxygen dehydrogenises and ATPase activity increased (p < 0.01). The renal injuries induced by contrast media (CM) were alleviated. CONCLUSION: MTP131 and SPI20 might protect acute kidney injury induced by CM in rats with hypercholesterolemia.
