Abstract:
Objective To observe the protective effect of different doses sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) as a donor of hydrogen sulfide on renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI).Methods Twenty-eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely sham operation (Sham) group (n =7),renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) group (n =7),sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) high dose group (n=7),sodium hydrosulfide low dose group (n=7).After excision of the right kidney,two dose NaHS group (300 nmol/min,1.5 μmol/min) received 15-minute continuous administration via left renal artery.Sham group and IR group received same volume of saline.Five minutes after stopping drug,the left renal pedicle in NaHS group and IR group was clipped with no damage arteriole occlusion.After 45 minutes blockade,a model of acute renal ischemia reperfusion injury was established.Sham group underwent the same procedure as model groups without clamping the left renal artery.Specimens of renal tissue and blood were harvested at 24-hour after blood flow restore in the kidney.BUN and Scr were measured.Kidney pathological damage was semi-quantitatively analyzed.Production of H2S in renal tissue was detected.Expression of cystathionine γ lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β synthase (CBS) mRNA in kidney tissue was examined by real-time PCR.Results Compared with sham group,BUN and Scr increased significantly (P＜0.01),kidney tissue H2S production decreased significantly (P＜0.01),mRNA expression of CSE and CBS down-regulated significantly (P＜0.01) in IR group.The kidney pathology of sham group was normal,while acute tubular necrosis was found in IR group.Compared with IR group,BUN and Scr decreased significantly (P＜0.01),kidney tissue H2S production increased significantly (P＜0.05),mRNA expression of CSE and CBS up-regulated significantly (P＜0.01) in NaHS groups.Pathological damage of acute tubular necrosis was significantly improved in NaHS pretreatment group.There was no significant difference between two NaHS doses groups.Conclusion Hydrogen sulfide has a protective effect on renal IRI.
