The Protective Effect of Anthocyanins Extracted from Aronia Melanocarpa Berry in Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our previous research showed the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins extracted from Aronia melanocarpa of black chokeberry in vitro. Ischemia acute kidney injury is a significant risk in developing progressive and deterioration of renal function leading to clinic chronic kidney disease. There were many attempts to protect the kidney against this progression of renal damage. Current study was designed to examine the effect of pretreatment with three anthocyanins named cyanidin-3-arabinoside, cyanidin-3-glucodise, and cyaniding-3-galactoside against acute ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse kidney.

Methods

Acute renal injury model was initiated by 30?min clamping bilateral renal pedicle and followed by 24-hour reperfusion in C57Bl/6J mice. Four groups of mice were orally pretreated in 50?mg/g/12?h for two weeks with cyanidin-3-arabinoside, cyanidin-3-glucodise, and cyaniding-3-galactoside and anthocyanins (three-cyanidin mixture), respectively, sham-control group and the renal injury-untreated groups only with saline.

Results

The model resulted in renal dysfunction with high serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and changes in proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-?, IL-1?, IL-6, and MCP-1), renal oxidative stress (SOD, GSH, and CAT), lipid peroxidation (TBARS and MDA), and apoptosis (caspase-9). Pretreatment of two weeks resulted in different extent amelioration of renal dysfunction and tubular damage and suppression of proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis, thus suggesting that cyanidins are potentially effective in acute renal ischemia by the decrease of inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation, as well as apoptosis.

Conclusion

the current study provided the first attempt to investigate the role of anthocyanins purified from Aronia melanocarpa berry in amelioration of acute renal failure via antioxidant and cytoprotective effects.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the protective effects of exogenous spermine on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods(I) Different doses of spermine were injected into rats to determine the safe dose on the kidneys. Kidney toxicity was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of kidney tissue and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) in the venous blood. (II) A rat model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury was established. Different doses of spermine were injected into the rats through the tail vein 30 minutes before and 3 days after the establishment of the model. Blood samples and kidney tissues were collected and renal injury was assessed via HE staining of the renal tissue, detection of apoptosis using the TUNEL assay, and detection of NGAL and KIM-1 in blood samples using ELISA. (III) Human HK-2 renal tubular epithelial cells were cultured under hypoxia/reoxygenation conditions. To evaluate the protective effects of spermine, apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. The mechanisms underlying the effects of spermine were studied using Western blot analyses.ResultsAt spermine concentrations below 200 µM (2 mL/kg body weight), no significant damage to the kidney was observed by HE staining, and there was no significant difference in NGAL and KIM-1 levels between rats treated with spermine and control rats (P<0.05). At spermine doses below 200 µM, HE staining showed that the degree of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury was gradually alleviated with increasing doses of spermine. TUNEL assays demonstrated that spermine reduced the apoptosis of renal tissue, and increasing doses of spermine gradually decreased the levels of NGAL and KIM-1 in the blood compared with the control group (P<0.05). Western blot analysis revealed that spermine increased the expression of pro-caspase9, phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), and decreased the expression of cleaved caspase-3, Bax and cytochrome C compared to control cells.ConclusionsExogenous spermine exerted a protective effect on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.
