Protection of resveratrol on acute kidney injury in septic rats.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate protective effect of resveratrol (Res) on acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis. Rats in sham group received sham operation; in sham + Res received sham operation and Res (3 mg/kg); in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) established as sepsis; in CLP + Res (3 mg/kg) with sepsis and Res (3 mg/kg); and in CLP + Res (10 mg/kg) with sepsis and Res (10 mg/kg). Survival rate, serum indexes, inflammatory factors, NF-κB-P65, and SIRT1 were detected. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mesangial cell was with Res and SIRT1 silencing. (1) Res intervention improved survival rate of CLP rat. (2) Compared to sham, serum creatinine, blood urine nitrogen, serum cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, IL-6, and renal injury index increased in CLP group, while decreased in CLP + Res (3 mg/kg) and CLP + Res (10 mg/kg), significantly, as dose-dependent ( p < 0.05). (3) With Res, NF-κB-P65 and de-acetylated SIRT1 decreased, while SIRT1 and de-acetylated Nuclear factor kB-p65 9 NF-κB-P65) increased, significantly ( p < 0.05). (4) SIRT1 and de-acetylated NF-κB-P65 decreased in LPS cells, while SIRT1 increased after Res intervention, significantly ( p < 0.05). After silencing SIRT1, de-acetylated NF-κB-P65 increased, significantly ( p < 0.05). Res increases the survival rate of septic rats by inhibiting inflammatory factors to ease AKI and promotes NF-κB-P65 de-acetylation by upregulating SIRT1.
