Abstract: Objective:To investigate the role of A kinase anchor protein 1 (AKAP1) in renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and its mechanism.
Methodology:The mouse renal ischemia reperfusion model was established by bilateral renal arteries clamped for 28 min of ischemia. After 24 h of reperfusion, blood samples were collected and kidney tissues were retained to detect serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, pathological injury and AKAP1 expression;Then the mouse proximal tubule cells were cultured to the second day for intervention of hypoxia (H). The cells were placed into a three-gas incubator with 1%O2, 5% CO2, 37 ℃ and were cultured without sugar or serum successively for 3h. Then the cells were reoxygenated (R) and replaced with lowglucose DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum for normal culture for 6h. The general morphology of renal tubule cells in control group and each H/R group were observed after reoxygenation for 6h. Finally, ATP content, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial MitoRed staining in each H/R group were detected by transfection with AKAP1 overexpression.
Results:AKAP1 expression decreased after renal ischemia reperfusion (P<0.05). AKAP1 expression was decreased and mitochondrial dysfunction was observed in renal tubular epithelial cells after deoxygenation (P<0.05). AKAP1 induced mitochondrial damage through Drp1 regulation of hyporexia (P<0.05).
Conclusion:AKAP1 reduce renal ischemiareperfusion injury by inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction.
