ABSTRACT
Isorhynchophylline (IRN) is an alkaloid with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities in cardiovascular and brain diseases, but its role in paraquat (PQ)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is yet unknown. The model of PQ-induced AKI in rats was established by intraperitoneal injection of PQ (25 mg/kg). We found that the tail vein injection of IRN (4 mg/kg) significantly increased the survival rate of PQ-intoxicated rats. IRN administration alleviated PQ-induced renal injury and renal dysfunction in rats, as evidenced by decreased apoptosis in renal cortex and reduced serum creatinine, serum BUN, and urine NGAL levels. Furthermore, IRN treatment improved the PQ-triggered oxidative stress in renal cortex by increasing the levels of anti-oxidant indicators (SOD activity, GSH/GSSG ratio, levels of Nrf-2, NQO-1, and HO-1 in renal cortex) and decreasing the levels of oxidative stress indexes (ROS and MDA levels in renal cortex). Interestingly, toll-interacting protein (Tollip), a negative regulator of interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) phosphorylation, was demonstrated to be increased by IRN injection in the renal cortex of PQ-intoxicated rats. In vitro experiments revealed that IRN protected renal tubular epithelial cells against PQ toxicity through suppressing oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, and these protective effects were reversed by Tollip shRNA. Collectively, the present study demonstrated that IRN ameliorated PQ-induced AKI by attenuating oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage through upregulating Tollip, which provides new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of PQ poisoning.
