| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Acute kidney injury is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery. Because its underlying mechanisms are unclear, there is no specific therapy to prevent or treat it. A regional transient ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) may provide protection to distant tissue or organs, a phenomenon known as remote preconditioning. In this study, we investigated whether myocardial preconditioning (MPC) would reduce kidney injury and apoptosis induced by myocardial I/R, as well as the mechanisms involved. METHODS: Myocardial I/R was induced by a 40-min occlusion of the left anterior descending artery and a 3-h reperfusion in anaesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. MPC was elicited by two 10-min coronary artery occlusions and two 10-min reperfusions. A sham group received the same surgical procedures without coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. RESULTS: Compared with the sham group, myocardial I/R significantly increased the serum creatinine levels (1.15 ± 0.44 vs 0.54 ± 0.23 mg/dl, P < 0.05, mean ± standard deviation) and renal histological damage, indicating increased kidney injury. Kidney apoptosis was also significantly increased, as evidenced by the increase in the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (dUTP) nick-end labelling (TUNEL)-positive nuclei, clear DNA laddering and increased caspase-3 activation. Serum levels of tumour necrosis factor- (TNF- ), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly elevated, as were TNF- levels in the kidneys. MPC significantly decreased myocardial infarct size (18.5 ± 3.1 vs 25.6 ± 2.1% of area at risk, P < 0.001). Additionally, MPC significantly reduced the serum creatinine level (0.65 ± 0.19 mg/dl, P < 0.05), renal histological damage and apoptosis. The increase in the serum levels of TNF- , IL-1 and IL-6, and of TNF- in the kidneys, was significantly inhibited. Western blot analysis found that MPC significantly increased Bcl-2 and decreased Bax in the kidneys. Phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) was significantly increased. Haemodynamics, area at risk and mortality did not differ significantly among the groups. CONCLUSIONS: MPC significantly reduces kidney injury and apoptosis induced by myocardial I/R. The underlying mechanisms might be related to inhibition of both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis, possibly via inhibition of TNF- production, modulation of Bcl-2 and Bax and activation of Akt and ERK1/2. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
