Abstract:
:The nitric oxide (NO) donor, O(2)-vinyl 1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (V-PYRRO/NO), is metabolized by P450 enzymes to release NO in the liver and possibly other tissues. V-PYRRO/NO has been shown to be hepatoprotective, but little is known about its effect in the kidney, another organ rich in P450s. Thus, mice were given V-PYRRO/NO (0.4-5.4 mg/ml, 8 microl/h) before and/or after a nephrotoxic dose of acetaminophen (APAP; 600 mg/kg, i.p.) to examine its nephroprotective effects. V-PYRRO/NO administration significantly reduced APAP-induced nephrotoxicity in a dose- and time-dependent manner, as evidenced by mitigation of increased blood urea nitrogen levels and by amelioration of renal pathology, specifically interstitial congestion, proximal tubular cell degeneration and necrosis. The best protection was observed at the highest dose (5.4 mg/ml) and with V-PYRRO/NO pretreatment (4-16 h). Implanting V-PYRRO/NO pumps simultaneously with APAP also attenuated APAP nephrotoxicity. The protection is probably not due to a decreased APAP toxication metabolism, as similar depletion of renal glutathione levels was observed regardless of V-PYRRO/NO treatment. APAP-induced renal lipid peroxidation was reduced by V-PYRRO/NO, as determined by the concentrations of hydroxynonenals and malondialdehyde. In summary, this study demonstrates that the NO donor V-PYRRO/NO is effective in blocking APAP-induced nephrotoxicity in mice. The protection is probably due to multiple mechanisms involving attenuation of APAP-induced congestion and lipid peroxidation in the kidney.

TOXICOLOGY文献大全abstract::Colicins are unusual bacterial toxins because they are directed against close relatives of the producing strain. They kill their targets in one of three distinct ways; via a ribonuclease or deoxyribonuclease activity or by forming pores in the target cell's membrane.
