Abstract：
:Patients who undergo orthotopic liver transplantation often sustain acute kidney injury(AKI). The toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/Nuclear factor-кB(NF-кB) pathway plays a role in AKI. Dexmedetomidine(Dex) has been shown to attenuate AKI. The current study aimed to determine whether liver transplantation-induced AKI is associated with inflammatory response, and to assess the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on kidneys in rats following orthotopic autologous liver transplantation(OALT). Seventy-seven adult male rats were randomized into 11 groups. Kidney tissue histopathology and levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(SCr) were evaluated. Levels of TLR4, NF-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β levels were measured in kidney tissues. OALT resulted in significant kidney functional impairment and tissue injury. Pre-treatment with dexmedetomidine decreased BUN and SCr levels and reduced kidney pathological injury, TLR4 expression, translocation of NF-κB, and cytokine production. The effects of dexmedetomidine were reversed by pre-treatment with atipamezole and BRL44408, but not ARC239. These results were confirmed by using α2A-adrenergic receptor siRNA which reversed the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on attenuating NRK-52E cells injury induced by hypoxia reoxygenation. In conclusion, Dexmedetomidine-pretreatment attenuates OALT-induced AKI in rats which may be contributable to its inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway activation. The renoprotective effects are related to α2A-adrenergic receptor subtypes.
