Increased superoxide formation induced by irradiation preconditioning triggers kidney resistance to ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Export

@article{citeulike:6096905, abstract = {One of the obstacles in irradiation therapy is cytoresistance, acquired by activation of self-defense systems, such as antioxidant or molecular chaperone systems, to cope with stress. We investigated whether irradiation preconditioning (IP) rendered resistance of the kidney against subsequent ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and attempted to elucidate any such protective mechanisms. Mice were irradiated with a total of 4, 6, or 8 Gy using a cesium-137 source irradiator and then, 6 days later, were subjected to 28 min of bilateral renal ischemia followed by reperfusion. Eight Gy of IP significantly attenuated the increases in plasma creatinine (PCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration, structural damage, lipid peroxidation, superoxide formation, expression and activity of NADPH oxidase (NOX)-2, nitrotyrosine level, and hydrogen peroxide production after I/R in kidney tissues, indicating that IP protects the kidneys from I/R injury.

To investigate whether the protection afforded by IP was associated with increases in MnSOD and HSP-27 expression triggered by increased superoxide formation after IP, we administered manganese (III) tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin, a superoxide scavenger, to IP mice.
