          Abstract

          Background/Aims: We have previously shown that 1 mg/kg indomethacin improves expression and functionality of renal organic anion transporters Oat1 and Oat3 after renal ischemia and furthermore improves renal outcome after ischemia. As we detected differential effects of COX1 or COX2 inhibitors on organic anion transport after ischemia and reperfusion in culture, we investigated the effect of the SC560 (COX1 inhibitor) and SC58125 (COX2 inhibitor) on expression of Oat1/3 and renal outcome after ischemic acute kidney injury (iAKI). Methods: iAKI was induced in rats by bilateral clamping of renal arteries for 45 min. SC560 or SC58125 (1 mg/kg each) were given intraperitoneally as soon as reperfusion started. Sham-treated animals served as controls. Oat1/3 were determined by qPCR and Western blot. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance and PAH extraction ratio was determined. All parameters were detected 24 h after ischemia. Renal plasma flow was calculated. Results: In clamped animals SC560 (COX1 inhibitor) restored expression of Oat1/3, as well as renal perfusion. Additionally, SC560 substantially improved kidney function as measured by GFR. Application of the COX2 inhibitor SC58125 did not exert these beneficial effects. Conclusion: Our study indicates that COX1 inhibitor SC560 applied after ischemia prevents ischemia-induced downregulation of Oat1/3 during reperfusion and has a substantial protective effect on kidney function. Whether and to what particular extent this apparent improvement of function is mechanistically due to beneficial effects on tubular function, renal perfusion or glomerular filtration will be the scope of future studies.

          Ischemic acute renal failure: an inflammatory disease?

          Inflammation plays a major role in the pathophysiology of acute renal failure resulting from ischemia. In this review, we discuss the contribution of endothelial and epithelial cells and leukocytes to this inflammatory response. The roles of cytokines/chemokines in the injury and recovery phase are reviewed. The ability of the mouse kidney to be protected by prior exposure to ischemia or urinary tract obstruction is discussed as a potential model to emulate as we search for pharmacologic agents that will serve to protect the kidney against injury. Understanding the inflammatory response prevalent in ischemic kidney injury will facilitate identification of molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.

            Inflammation in Acute Kidney Injury

            Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) and evidence supporting the involvement of both innate and adaptive immunity in renal IRI has accumulated in recent years. In addition to leukocytes, kidney endothelial cells promote inflammation after IRI by increasing adhesion molecule expression and vascular permeability. Kidney tubular epithelial cells increase complement binding and upregulate toll-like receptors, both of which lead to cytokine/chemokine production in IRI. Activation of kidney resident dendritic cells, interferon-γ-producing neutrophils, infiltrating macrophages, CD4+ T cells, B cells and invariant natural killer T cells are all implicated in the pathogenesis of AKI. The complex interplay between innate and adaptive immunity in renal IRI is still not completely understood, but major advances have been made. This review summarizes these recent advances to further our understanding of the immune mechanisms of acute kidney injury.

              Pharmacological analysis of cyclooxygenase-1 in inflammation.

              The enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-1 and COX-2) catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin (PG) H2, the precursor of PGs and thromboxane. These lipid mediators play important roles in inflammation and pain and in normal physiological functions. While there are abundant data indicating that the inducible isoform, COX-2, is important in inflammation and pain, the constitutively expressed isoform, COX-1, has also been suggested to play a role in inflammatory processes. To address the latter question pharmacologically, we used a highly selective COX-1 inhibitor, SC-560 (COX-1 IC50 = 0.009 microM; COX-2 IC50 = 6.3 microM). SC-560 inhibited COX-1-derived platelet thromboxane B2, gastric PGE2, and dermal PGE2 production, indicating that it was orally active, but did not inhibit COX-2-derived PGs in the lipopolysaccharide-induced rat air pouch. Therapeutic or prophylactic administration of SC-560 in the rat carrageenan footpad model did not affect acute inflammation or hyperalgesia at doses that markedly inhibited in vivo COX-1 activity. By contrast, celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, was anti-inflammatory and analgesic in this model. Paradoxically, both SC-560 and celecoxib reduced paw PGs to equivalent levels. Increased levels of PGs were found in the cerebrospinal fluid after carrageenan injection and were markedly reduced by celecoxib, but were not affected by SC-560. These results suggest that, in addition to the role of peripherally produced PGs, there is a critical, centrally mediated neurological component to inflammatory pain that is mediated at least in part by COX-2.
