Project description:The risk of cardiovascular events rises after acute kidney injury. Leukocytes promote atherosclerotic plaque growth and instability. We here established a model of enhanced remote atherosclerosis after renal ischemia reperfusion injury and investigated the underlying inflammatory mechanisms.
Project description:The goal of this observational study is to compare anesthetic modalities (intravenous propofol anesthesia with sevoflurane gas anesthesia) in patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection surgery regarding the outcome of acute kidney injury.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* is there a difference in acute kidney injury incidence in the two anesthetic modalities?
* is there a difference in plasma creatinine between the two anesthetic modalities?
* are there any patient characteristics or intraoperative factors that effect the incidence of acute kidney injury in either anesthetic modality?
The study will analyze data from the CAN clinical trial database. (Cancer and Anesthesia: Survival After Radical Surgery - a Comparison Between Propofol or Sevoflurane Anesthesia, NCT01975064)
Project description:Kidney tissues from a cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury mouse model of global Apobec1 knockout mice compared with wild type mice. 6 months old male mice examined. We used microarrays to identify genes that are differentially expressed during acute kidney injury in the absence of apobec1 compared with wild type mice.
Project description:18 zero-hour and 18 selected post-transplant (Tx) biopsy samples from 18 kidney allografts (8 acute kidney injury (AKI), 10 PBx - protocol biopsies - controls) were analyzed by using the Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. miRNA 3.0 Array. Comparison between control group (protocol biopsies) and indication biopsies with histological lesions of acute tubular necrosis without rejection (ATN).

Project description:Treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI) is suboptimal. A better understanding of its pathogenesis may lead to new therapeutic approaches. Kidney transcriptomics analyses of murine folic acid-induced AKI (FA-AKI) will allow us to identify new mediators and therapeutic targets of this pathology. Folic acid nephropathy is a classical model of AKI characterized by acute renal failure, tubular cell death, interstitial leukocyte infiltration and subsequent tubular regeneration that has been reported in humans.
