ABSTRACT

ICAM-1 has been implicated in the pathophysiology of ischemic-reperfusion injury in a number of organs, but its role in mediating severe ischemic-reperfusion injury in the kidney has not been extensively studied. Uninephrectomized Sprague Dawley rats were pretreated with either control monoclonal antibody (mAb) or mAb to ICAM-1 and subjected to 60 min of renal artery occlusion. The serum creatinine, complete blood count and kidney histo-pathological damage scores (PDS) (Scale:0-4) were assessed prior to and 24 hours after ischemia. Mean serum creatinine (mg/dl) 24 hours after ischemia was significantly decreased in the anti-ICAM-1 group (1.38 +/- 0.23, p < 0.001) compared to control (2.87 +/- 0.34). PDS was also reduced in anti-ICAM-1 (2.55 +/- 0.20, p < 0.05) group compared to control (3.35 +/- 0.30). These data demonstrate that blocking ICAM-1 significantly mitigates severe ischemic acute renal failure, findings which may lead to improved therapy for this condition.

ABSTRACT

Leukocytes, particularly neutrophils, have been implicated in ischemic-reperfusion organ injury (IRI). However, their role in kidney IRI is controversial. Leukocytes express the adhesion molecules CD11/CD18 on their surface, which mediate many functions that can lead to tissue damage. To determine the role of CD11a and CD11b in IRI in the kidney, uninephrectomized Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against CD11a and CD11b or control MAbs. The serum creatinine (SCr), complete blood count, and kidney histopathological damage scores (PDS) (scale: 0-4) were assessed prior to and 24 h after 60 min of ischemia. Mean SCr 24 h after ischemia was significantly decreased in the anti-CD11a- and -CD11b-treated group compared with the control MAb-treated group (2.5 +/- 0.3 mg/dl vs. 3.4 +/- 0.2 mg/dl, P < 0.05). PDS were also reduced in the CD11a and CD11b group compared with controls (2.7 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.5 +/- 0.1, P < 0.001). These data show that the CD11/CD18 leukocyte adhesion pathway plays a role in mediating ischemic acute renal failure in rats.
