| Abstract | Renal reperfusion injury results from oxygen radical generation. During reoxygenation of hypoxic kidney cells, xanthine oxidase produces superoxide radical, which eventuates in hydroxyl radical formation by the Fenton reaction. This reaction, catalyzed by transition metals such as iron, is particularly important because hydroxyl radical is highly reactive with a wide variety of biomolecules. We tested the hypothesis that this catalytic function is fostered by iron released from the heme moiety of cytochrome P-450. Primary cultures of rat proximal tubule epithelial cells studied in a subconfluent stage were subjected to 60 min of hypoxia and 30 min of reoxygenation. When cells were pretreated with one of three cytochrome P-450 inhibitors (piperonyl butoxide, cimetidine, or ketoconazole), lethal cell injury was attenuated. There was the expected increase in O2-. production during hypoxia/reoxygenation that cytochrome P-450 inhibitors did not prevent; on the other hand, inhibitors did prevent reoxygenation-induced hydroxyl radical formation. Analogously, the increase in catalytic iron (bleomycin-detectable iron) that accompanies hypoxia/reoxygenation did not occur in the presence of cytochrome P-450 inhibitors. In vivo studies confirmed a protective effect of cytochrome P-450 inhibition because glomerular filtration rate was better preserved in rats pretreated with cimetidine and then subjected to renal artery occlusion. In summary, several chemically distinct cytochrome P-450 inhibitors reduced iron release, and thereby, hydroxyl radical formation and reoxygenation-induced lethal cell injury, without inhibiting superoxide radical formation. We conclude that highly labile P-450 may act as an Fe-donating catalyst for Fenton reaction production of HO.-mediated reperfusion injury. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
