Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to investigate the possible modifying effects of leptin and combined use of resveratrol on rat renal I/R injury and their relationship on signal pathways and apoptosis-related mechanisms.
BACKGROUND: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is an important cause of acute renal failure.
METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups: Control, I/R, I/R+leptin, I/R+resveratrol and I/R+leptin+resveratrol. Leptin (10 μg/kg BW) was administered (i.p.) 30 min prior to I/R. Resveratrol was administered by gavage at 20 mg/kg BW per d for 12 d prior to I/R. The left renal artery was exposed to 1 h of ischemia and 1 h of reperfusion.
RESULTS: Resveratrol treatment alone increased TNF-α, TNF-α R1, NF-κB, SIRT-1, STAT1 and STAT3 mRNA levels and decreased caspase 3 protein levels. Leptin treatment alone significantly decreased the caspase 3 protein levels. The combined use of resveratrol and leptin significantly increased STAT3, and caspase 3 mRNA levels, and decreased the caspase 3 protein levels. Apoptosis was significantly decreased especially in the leptin and leptin+resveratrol groups.
CONCLUSION: The present study suggest that a combined use of resveratrol and leptin has preventive and regulatory effects on renal I/R injury; the mechanism involves decreasing apoptosis, likely by altering the JAK/STAT pathway and SIRT1 expression (Fig. 8, Ref. 24).
