Objective To investigate the renoprotective effects of KB-R7943 on renal injury induced bycontrast media. Method Tubular epithelial cells were trested with varions cencentration of KB-B7943 (10-5,10-6 mol/L) for 12 hours before contrast media was used. After cells we, re incubated with contrast media (CM)(110 mgI/L) for 1 hour, cells injury was assessed by using LDH, and cell morphologic changes and cells apopto-sis were evaluated with inverted microscope and flow cytometry, respoelively. Intracellular Ca2+ and reactive oxy-gen species (ROS) were analyzed by using confocal microscope. The expression of Na+/Ca2+exchanger mRNAwas evaluated by RT-PCR. Mannitol with same osmolarity (20% mannitol, 770 mOsm/L) of CM was used as con-trol. One-way analysis of variance and q-test were used for comparison between groups. The simple linear correla-tion was employed to analyze the correlation. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results Contrast media sig-nificantly induced tubular cells damage significantly and apoptosis at 1 hour after incubation, meanwhile, intracel-lular Ca2+ and ROS were inoreased progressively in CM group. KB-R7943 significantly attenuated cells damage andapoptosis in dose-dependent in association with decreased intracellular Ca2+ and ROS. Expression of Na+/Ca2+exchanger mRNA was not changed. Conclusions KB-R7943 has renoprotective effects on the contrast-media-in-duced renal tubular cyotoxicity

Objective:
To investigate the clinic-pathological features and prognostic risk factors of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with hypertension (HTN).
Methods:
Primary IgAN patients diagnosed with biopsy from January 2016 to December 2017 were recruited. Patients were divided into IgAN with normal blood pressure (IgAN-NTN) group and IgAN with hypertension (IgAN-HTN) group based on the pressure value when performing the kidney biopsy. The clinical and pathological data were collected and compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was conducted for renal results, whereas the Cox regression model was exploited to analyze the prognostic factors in the progression of IgAN-HTN patients.
Results:
The total number of enrolled patients was 275 cases, 170 (61.82%) of which had normal pressure and 105 individuals (38.18%) resulted in hypertension. The IgAN-HTN group in terms of male proportion, age, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, 24 h urinary protein, triacylglycerol, complement C4 and so on were higher than those in the IgAN-NTN group (all

Objective:To observe the expression of sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) and mitochondrial damage-associated proteins in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury mouse model and renal tubular epithelial cells, and to explore the role of Sirt3 in LPS-induced abnormal mitochondrial dynamics in renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods:Eighteen specific pathogen free (SPF) male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to control group, LPS 24 h group and LPS 48 h group. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with physiological saline (0.1 ml/10 g), and LPS 24 h group and LPS 48 h group were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (10 mg/kg) solution. Renal functional indexes of mice were analyzed by automatic biochemical analyzer. The pathological change of the kidney was observed by HE staining, and the expressions of dynamin-related protein-1 (Drp1), optic atrophy type 1 (Opa1) and Sirt3 were evaluated by Western blotting. Expression and distribution of Sirt3 in kidney was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were exposed to 10 μg/ml LPS for 24 h, and the expression of Drp1, Opa1 and Sirt3 were detected by Western blotting. Cell apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst-33342 staining. After transfection to HK-2 cells with pcDNA3.1-Sirt3 recombinant plasmid, the expressions of Sirt3, Drp1, Opa1 and cell apoptosis were detected by the same methods as above.Results:(1) The levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine in LPS group were significantly higher than those in control group (both P<0.05), and the pathological changes of kidney were obvious. (2) Compared with the control group, the expression of mitochondrial fission-associated protein Drp1 in renal tissue of LPS group was significantly higher ( P<0.05), and the expression of mitochondrial fusion associated protein Opa1 was significantly lower ( P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the expression of Sirt3 in LPS group was significantly lower ( P<0.05), and immunohistochemistry results showed that Sirt3 was mainly expressed in glomerular vascular endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells. (4) In vitro, LPS stimulation induced increased Drp1 expression in HK-2 cells ( P<0.05), decreased Opa1 and Sirt3 expression (both P<0.05), and increased apoptosis ( P<0.05). (5) LPS-induced mitochondrial dynamics disturbance and apoptosis were alleviated by pcDNA3.1-Sirt3 recombinant plasmid transfection. Conclusions:LPS can induce down-regulation of Sirt3 expression and disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics, and Sirt3 may play a protective role in LPS-induced acute kidney injury by regulating mitochondrial dynamics.
