Article Abstract
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) has a negative effect on renal allograft survival. Using a rat model of kidney IRI in this study, we investigated the overall effect of selective c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 on renal IRI events.
Methods: All 45 Fisher rats were anesthetized and renal IRI model was established by 45 min clamp of bilateral renal pedicles and 24 h reperfusion. Vehicle solution or SP600125 solution was intraperitoneally injected 45 min before ischemia, respectively. Analysis of renal histology, function, reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression, JNK phosphorylation status, as well as intra-renal pro-inflammatory cytokines expression was evaluated in this study.
Results: After IRI, the levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, tissue malondialdehyde, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 were all elevated significantly, while superoxide dismutase, catalase activity were decreased. Histologic findings showed severe devastating lesions and increased rodent cell apoptosis; SP600125 effectively improved morphologic features, reversed above-mentioned parameters, and significantly attenuated c-Jun phosphorylation, as well as intra-renal pro-inflammatory cytokines expression compared with vehicle-treated group.
Conclusion: These data demonstrate that inhibition of c-Jun with SP600125 is capable of attenuating renal IRI, which might be a novel therapy target.

Renal ischemic disease represents a severe clinical pathological condition commonly observed in acute kidney injury (AKI), renal transplantation, and kidney surgery. It leads to renal tubular epithelial cell damage, inflammatory responses, and cell death, potentially progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or even renal failure, significantly impairing patients' quality of life and survival rates. Current therapeutic strategies for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) include pharmacological interventions, cell therapy, and gene therapy, yet their efficacy remains limited and may be accompanied by adverse effects.

Persistent overactivation of the renal sympathetic nervous system drives kidney inflammation and fibrosis. Macrophages contribute to fibrogenesis by secreting various pro-fibrogenic mediators. However, whether the sympathetic nervous system regulates renal fibrosis by modulating macrophage-fibroblast interaction remains unclear.

Heart ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) significantly contributes to cardiac damage through oxidative and nitrosative stress, where the dysregulation of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and the subsequent activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are observed. Klotho is a multifunctional protein crucial in ageing, metabolism, and ion homeostasis. It has been confirmed that Klotho serves as a critical protective factor across multiple biological systems, with its roles in neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and renal function being particularly noteworthy.

Introduction: Ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable in kidney transplantation and negatively affects patient and graft outcomes. Anaesthetic conditioning (AC) refers to the use of anaesthetic agents to mitigate IRI. AC is particularly associated with volatile anaesthetic (VA) agents and to a lesser extent to intravenous agents like propofol.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a major challenge impacting graft survival following transplantation. During the ischemic phase, mitochondrial dysfunction leads to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion and calcium overload. Upon reperfusion, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated, exacerbating mitochondrial damage and triggering inflammatory responses.
