Reactive oxygen species are suggested to participate in
ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. However, induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and production of high levels of nitric
oxide (NO) also contribute to this injury. NO can combine with
superoxide to form the potent oxidant peroxynitrite
(ONOO
). NO and ONOO
were investigated in a
rat model of renal I-R injury using the selective iNOS inhibitor
L-N6-(1-iminoethyl)lysine
(L-NIL). Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 40 min of
bilateral renal ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion with or
without L-NIL administration. Control animals received a
sham surgery and had plasma creatinine values of 0.4 ± 0.1 mg/dl. I-R surgery significantly increased plasma creatinine levels to 1.9 ± 0.3 mg/dl (P < .05) and caused renal
cortical necrosis. L-NIL administration (3 mg/kg) in
animals subjected to I-R significantly decreased plasma creatinine
levels to 1.2 ± 0.10 mg/dl (P < .05 compared
with I-R) and reduced tubular damage. ONOO
formation was
evaluated by detecting 3-nitrotyrosine-protein adducts, a stable
biomarker of ONOO
formation. Immunohistochemistry and
HPLC revealed that the kidneys from I-R animals had increased levels of
3-nitrotyrosine-protein adducts compared with control animals.
L-NIL-treated rats (3 mg/kg) subjected to I-R showed
decreased levels of 3-nitrotyrosine-protein adducts. These results
support the hypothesis that iNOS-generated NO mediates damage in I-R
injury possibly through ONOO
formation.
