چکیده

Obstructive kidney disease is a common complication in the clinic. Downregulation of aquaporins (AQPs) in obstructed kidneys has been thought as a key factor leading to the polyuria and impairment of urine-concentrating capability after the release of kidney obstruction. The present study was to investigate the role of mitochondrial complex-1 in modulating AQPs in obstructive nephropathy. Following 7-day unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), AQP1, AQP2, AQP3, and vasopressin 2 (V2) receptor were remarkably reduced as determined by qRT-PCR and/or Western blotting. Notably, inhibition of mitochondrial complex-1 by rotenone markedly reversed the downregulation of AQP1, AQP2, AQP3, and V2 In contrast, AQP4 was not affected by kidney obstruction or rotenone treatment. In a separate study, rotenone also attenuated AQPs' downregulation after 48-h UUO. To study the potential mechanisms in mediating the rotenone effects on AQPs, we examined the regulation of the COX-2/microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES)-1/PGE2/EP pathway and found that COX-2, mPGES-1, and renal PGE2 content were all significantly elevated in obstructive kidneys, which was not affected by rotenone treatment. For EP receptors, EP2 and EP4 but not EP1 and EP3 were upregulated in obstructive kidneys. Importantly, rotenone strikingly suppressed EP1 and EP4 but not EP2 and EP3 receptors. However, treatment of EP1 antagonist SC-51322 could not affect AQPs' reduction in obstructed kidneys. Collectively, these findings suggested an important role of mitochondrial dysfunction in modulating AQPs and V2 receptor in obstructive nephropathy possibly via prostaglandin-independent mechanisms.

Inhibition of Mitochondrial Complex-1 Prevents the Downregulation of NKCC2 and ENaCα in Obstructive Kidney Disease

Ureteral obstruction with subsequent hydronephrosis is a common clinical complication. Downregulation of renal sodium transporters in obstructed kidneys could contribute to impaired urinary concentrating capability and salt waste following the release of a ureteral obstruction. The current study was undertaken to investigate the role of mitochondrial complex-1 inhibition in modulating sodium tr...

Rotenone Remarkably Attenuates Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Fibrosis in Chronic Obstructive Uropathy

Mitochondrial abnormality has been shown in many kidney disease models. However, its role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) is still uncertain. In present study, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone was applied to the mice subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Following 7-days rotenone treatment, a remarkable attenuation of tubular injury was detected b...

Long-term, high-dose aspirin therapy increases the specific activity of complex III of mitochondrial respiratory chain in the kidney of diabetic rats

Introduction: One of the main mechanisms by which diabetic complications occur is an alteration of the structure and function of proteins due to hyperglycemia. Aspirin (ASA) affects cellular pathways through different mechanisms, including glycation inhibition and antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study, as a follow up to our previous one, is to investigate the effect of long-term, h...

Breviscapine prevents downregulation of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response to unilateral ureteral obstruction

Objective(s):Our recent report indicates that breviscapine play a protective role of the kidney by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and alleviating interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In this study, we investigate the effect of breviscapine on changes of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response t...

Function of mitochondrial complex-I and -IV in normal human and Parkinson's disease cybrids

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the dopaminergic neurodegeneration, which characterizes Parkinson’s disease (PD). The activities of mitochondrial complexes I and IV were found to be reduced in the brains of PD patients (n = 4) as compared to age-matched controls (n = 4). This is tested in SH-SY5Y cell lines, transformed Rho0 cells, and in normal and PD cybrid cell lines. Cybrid...
