Effects of hydrogen sulfide on kidney injury after extremity explosion injury in rats by Mo Li-wen, Ning Jiao-lin, Zhang Fan, Lai Xi-nan

“…Objective To observe the effects of hydrogen sulfide（H₂S）on kidney injury after extremity explosion injury in rats and search for potential values for explosion injury.Methods Extremity explosion injury was modeled.Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of explosion injury（I,n=8）,H₂S（H₂S:10 mg/kg NaHS,ip, n=8）,PAG（50 mg/kg PAG,ip, n=8）and control（C:n=8）.Left kidney and blood samples were harvested.The activity of cystathionine-γ-lyase（CSE）in kidney homogenate and the concentrations of H₂S,urea nitrogen and creatinine in plasma were detected; the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha（TNF-α）and the activities of malondialdehyde（MDA）,myeloperoxidase（MPO）and superoxide dismutase（SOD）were quantified in kidney homogenate; kidney pathological changes were observed.Results After explosion injury, CSE activity in lung homogenate and H₂S concentration in plasma decreased markedly（P<0.01）;concentrations of TNF-α and MDA and MPO activity in kidney homogenate spiked markedly（P<0.01）,SOD activity declined markedly（P<0.01）.Severe edema of tubular epithelial cell was noted with an infiltration of inflammatory cells.However in H₂S group, concentrations of TNF-α and MDA and MPO activity dropped markedly（P<0.05）,SOD activity rose markedly（P<0.01）and tubular epithelial cell edema, interstitial renal vascular congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration became greatly relieved.After PAG dosing in PAG group, concentrations of TNF-α and MDA and MPO activity spiked markedly（P<0.05）and SOD activity declined.There was no statistical significance（P>0.05）.Conclusion Extremity explosion injury leads to acute kidney injury.And kidney CSE/H₂S may play an important protective role in acute kidney injury through relieving inflammatory reactions and blunting peroxidation.…”
