Abstract
In healthy kidneys, interstitial fibroblasts are responsible for the maintenance of renal architecture. Progressive interstitial fibrosis is thought to be a common pathway for chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Diabetes is one of the boosters of CKD. There is no effective treatment to improve kidney function in CKD patients. The kidney is a highly demanding organ, rich in redox reactions occurring in mitochondria, making it particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress (OS). A dysregulation in OS leads to an impairment of the Electron transport chain (ETC). Gene deficiencies in the ETC are closely related to the development of kidney disease, providing evidence that mitochondria integrity is a key player in the early detection of CKD. The development of novel CKD therapies is needed since current methods of treatment are ineffective. Antioxidant targeted therapies and metabolic approaches revealed promising results to delay the progression of some markers associated with kidney disease. Herein, we discuss the role and possible origin of fibroblasts and the possible potentiators of CKD. We will focus on the important features of mitochondria in renal cell function and discuss their role in kidney disease progression. We also discuss the potential of antioxidants and pharmacologic agents to delay kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO- ), a potent biological oxidant, which has a short half-life in physiological conditions, is related to many diseases. Accurate peroxynitrite determination with superior selectivity and sensitivity is important for understanding biological roles of peroxynitrite in different health and disease tissues. Autofluorescence is an inevitable interference in luminescence biodetection and bioimaging, which often reduces signal-to-noise ratio during detection. In this work, a phosphorescent peroxynitrite nanoprobe (MSN-ONOO) which displays two emission bands is prepared by immobilizing two long-lived phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes that are peroxynitrite-activable and -inert, respectively, into water-dispersible mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Owing to the fast response rate, excellent sensitivity and outstanding selectivity of the nanoprobe toward peroxynitrite, it is further used for peroxynitrite determination in vitro and in vivo via ratiometric photoluminescence imaging. More notably, taking advantage of the long-lived phosphorescence of MSN-ONOO, in vivo elevated peroxynitrite is imaged with diminished autofluorescence interference and improved signal-to-noise ratio via time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. As far as it is known, this is the first time for endogenous peroxynitrite detection in vivo via the time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. Furthermore, the production of peroxynitrite in inflamed tissues is visualized.

Protective Role for Antioxidants in Acute Kidney Disease. Nutrients 2017; 9:nu9070718.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury causes significant morbidity and mortality in the community and clinic. Various pathologies, including renal and cardiovascular disease, traumatic injury/rhabdomyolysis, sepsis, and nephrotoxicity, that cause acute kidney injury (AKI), induce general or regional decreases in renal blood flow. The ensuing renal hypoxia and ischemia promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical anions, peroxides, and hydroxyl radicals, that can oxidatively damage biomolecules and membranes, and affect organelle function and induce renal tubule cell injury, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. Acute kidney injury is associated with increased oxidative damage, and various endogenous and synthetic antioxidants that mitigate source and derived oxidants are beneficial in cell-based and animal studies. However, the benefit of synthetic antioxidant supplementation in human acute kidney injury and renal disease remains to be realized. The endogenous low-molecular weight, non-proteinaceous antioxidant, ascorbate (vitamin C), is a promising therapeutic in human renal injury in critical illness and nephrotoxicity. Ascorbate may exert significant protection by reducing reactive oxygen species and renal oxidative damage via its antioxidant activity, and/or by its non-antioxidant functions in maintaining hydroxylase and monooxygenase enzymes, and endothelium and vascular function. Ascorbate supplementation may be particularly important in renal injury patients with low vitamin C status.

Abstract
Objective: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Oxygen-free radicals (OFRs) produced during ischemia and reperfusion (IR) have been implicated as the final common pathway in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. Spin traps have been shown to decrease IR injury in several animal lung models. The hydroxylamine, OXANOH (2-ethyl-2,5,5-trimethyl-3-oxazolidine) has been proposed as an ideal spin trap that would trap extra- and intracellular OFRs producing the stable radical, OXANO• (2-ethyl-2,5,5-trimethyl-3-oxazolidinoxyl). Electron microscopy was used to investigate whether OXANOH would protect against IR injury in the rabbit lung. Methods: OXANOH was obtained by hydrogenation of its stable radical, OXANO• using a safe laboratory technique. Several doses of OXANOH were tested to identify a nontoxic dose. Two quantitative methods were used based on the average surface area of the alveoli and average number of alveoli per unit surface area using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A total of 20 animals were subjected to 2 hours of ischemia followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. On reperfusion, the 4 groups (N = 5) received no treatment, OXANOH, superoxide dismutase (SOD)/catalase, or oxypurinol. Results: A therapeutic dose of 250 μmol/L of OXANO• was suggested in this in vitro model. All the 3 treatments showed significantly less injury compared to the control group and that SOD/catalase was significantly different from OXANOH and oxypurinol ( P < .008). Conclusion: OXANOH ameliorated IR injury in the isolated rabbit lung, almost as effectively as SOD/catalase and oxypurinol.

J Control Release 2011; 156:398-405.

Abstract
Previously, the optical imaging of chitosan-functionalized, Pluronic-based nano-carriers by Cy5.5 conjugation revealed a good tumor targeting characteristic of the nano-carriers in vivo [J. Control. Release, 147 (2010) 109-117]. However, in spite of the relatively strong signal from tumor site, they also showed strong fluorescence signals from other organs, especially liver. Thus, for the detection of pathological sites, the direct use of the Cy5.5-conjugated nano-carriers is limited due to significant background signals associated with non-specific delivery of the probes. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we prepared hydrocyanine-conjugated and chitosan-functionalized Pluronic-based nano-carriers (Hydrocyanine-NC) that can detect ROS in pathological sites. The reduction of cyanine to hydrocyanine of the nano-carriers resulted in complete disappearance of fluorescence emission, and the fluorescence could be recovered by ROS-induced re-oxidization. Hydrocyanine-NC could detect various ROS including superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) and hydroxyl radical (OH(-)) in a dose-dependent manner. Hydrocyanine-NC was also stable in serum-containing media and did not show acute cytotoxicity. Hydrocyanine-NC developed strong fluorescence by the intracellular ROS formation in LPS-stimulated macrophage cells in vitro. As an in-vivo inflammation site imaging, SCC7 tumor-bearing mice were optically monitored after the i.v. injection of the dye-conjugated nano-carriers. When non-reduced, cyanine-conjugated and chitosan-functionalized Pluronic-based nano-carriers (Cyanine-NC) were injected, strong fluorescence emission was observed from the abdominal area as well as from the tumor site, and it remained over 2days. In contrast, in the case of Hydrocyanine-NC, the initially very weak fluorescence emission from the abdominal area disappeared over time whereas the fluorescence emission from the tumor site was similar to that of Cyanine-NC. Therefore, the re-oxidation of Hydrocyanine-NC by ROS in vivo specifically eliminated the background signals from non-specific delivery of the probes, but it produced fluorescence emission strong enough to monitor the target inflammation site selectively.

Abstract
3',6'-Bis(diphenylphosphinyl)fluorescein (PF-1) was synthesized as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probe for imaging O(2) (.-) in living cells. The design strategy for the probe was based on the nucleophilic mechanism of O(2) (.-) to mediate deprotection of this probe to give fluorescein. Upon reaction with O(2) (.-), the probe exhibits a strong fluorescence response and high selectivity for O(2) (.-) over other reactive oxygen species and some biological compounds. The phosphinate-based probe, as a new fluorescent reagent, is cell-permeable and can detect micromolar changes of O(2) (.-) concentrations by using confocal microscopy in living cells. The unique combination of good selectivity, high sensitivity, good water solubility, and rapid reactivity establishes the potential value of the probe for facilitating investigations of the generation, metabolism, and mechanisms of superoxide-mediated cellular homeostasis and injury.

Abstract
Quantitation of superoxide radical (O (2)(-).) production at the site of radical generation remains challenging. A simple method to detect nanomolar to micromolar levels of superoxide radical in aqueous solution has been developed and optimized. This method is based on the efficient trapping of O(2)(-). using a novel fluorescent probe (2-chloro-1,3-dibenzothiazolinecyclohexene), coupled with a spectra character-signaling increase event. A high-specificity and high-sensitivity fluorescent probe was synthesized in-house and used to image O(2)(-). in living cells. Better selectivity for O(2)(-). over competing cellular reactive oxygen species and some biological compounds illustrates the advantages of our method. Under optimal conditions, the linear calibration range for superoxide anion radicals was 5.03 x 10(-9)-3.33 x 10(-6) M. The detection limit was 1.68 x 10(-9) M. Fluorescence images of probe-stained macrophages stimulated with 4beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate were obtained successfully using a confocal laser scanning microscope.

Abstract
1-Acetoxy-3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (ACP) is a unique probe for in vivo measurements of reactive oxygen species (ROS), because it is hydrolyzed by esterase to a hydroxylamine form (CP-H), which is oxidized to an electron spin resonance-detectable nitroxyl radical (CP) by a reaction with superoxide anion radical, etc. Although a knowledge of pharmacokinetics is essential for the use of ACP in vivo, such information is limited. We investigated the pharmacokinetics of ACP in mice by examining the time course of the tissue distribution of ACP, CP-H, and CP after intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of ACP. Esterase activity for ACP in tissue homogenates was also measured. The concentration of ACP decreased in all tissues obeying a one-compartment model. ACP was hydrolyzed to CP-H in the liver and kidney predominantly, and the first-pass effect of liver on the hydrolysis of ACP was very large. A homogeneous biodistribution of CP-H was obtained 10 min after the injection of ACP regardless of the injection route, and concentrations remained stable over at least 20 min. Because of these pharmacokinetic properties, ACP should be suitable for the imaging of ROS in animals.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence has shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of cell signaling events such as inflammatory reactions (superoxide) and the maintenance of vascular tone (nitric oxide). However, overproduction of ROS such as superoxide has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases including cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and pulmonary diseases. Antioxidant enzymes are, in part, responsible for maintaining low levels of these oxygen metabolites in tissues and may play key roles in controlling or preventing these conditions. One key antioxidant enzyme implicated in the regulation of ROS-mediated tissue damage is extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD). EC-SOD is found in the extracellular matrix of tissues and is ideally situated to prevent cell and tissue damage initiated by extracellularly produced ROS. In addition, EC-SOD is likely to play an important role in mediating nitric oxide-induced signaling events, since the reaction of superoxide and nitric oxide can interfere with nitric oxide signaling. This review will discuss the regulation of EC-SOD and its role in a variety of oxidant-mediated diseases.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a free radical scavenger, and N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibitor, on the changes in renal function, intrarenal blood flow distribution (laser-Doppler flowmetry), and plasma peroxynitrite levels during the acute renal failure (ARF) produced by inferior vena cava occlusion (IVCO; 45 min) in anesthetized rats. Renal blood flow fell on reperfusion (whole kidney by -45.7%; cortex -58.7%, outer medulla -62.8%, and papilla -47.7%); glomerular filtration rate (GRF) also decreased (-68.6%), whereas fractional sodium excretion (FE(Na%)) and peroxynitrite and NO/NO plasma levels increased (189.5, 46.5, and 390%, respectively) after ischemia. Pretreatment with L-NAME (10 microg. kg(-1). min(-1)) aggravated the fall in renal blood flow seen during reperfusion (-60%). Pretreatment with NAC (150 mg/kg bolus + 715 microg. kg(-1). min(-1) iv) partially prevented those changes in renal function (GFR only fell by -29.2%, and FE(Na%) increased 119.4%) and laser-Doppler blood flow, especially in the outer medulla, where blood flow recovered to near control levels during reperfusion. These beneficial effects seen in rats given NAC seem to be dependent on the presence of NO, because they were abolished in rats pretreated with L-NAME. Also, the antioxidant effects of NAC prevented the increase in plasma peroxynitrite after ischemia. In conclusion, NAC ameliorates the renal failure and the outer medullary vasoconstriction induced by ICVO, effects that seem to be dependent on the presence of NO and the scavenging of peroxynitrite.

Abstract
Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has similar efficacy to unfractionated heparin with less hemorrhagic complications. We studied the neuroprotective effect of LMWH on a rat model of focal-ischemia. Our results revealed that treatment with LMWH at 1 and 3 h following thrombotic MCA occlusion reduced brain edema and infarct size and improved clinical outcome. Treatment with LMWH initiated at 6 h after thrombin injection only partially ameliorated brain damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia is produced during orthotopic liver transplantation when the inferior vena cava is clamped above the renal veins (inferior vena cava occlusion [IVCO]), and it often leads to postoperative renal failure. Although free radicals and nitric oxide (NO) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic renal failure, the effect of free radical scavengers in this model is unknown. METHODS The effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a free radical scavenger, on the acute renal failure that follows IVCO were evaluated in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. The effect of NO synthesis inhibition with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (NAME) was also studied. Renal vascular endothelial function was tested by infusing acetylcholine (Ach) into the renal artery before the ischemia and during reperfusion. RESULTS Renal failure developed during IVCO and persisted during reperfusion in all groups. However, in NAC-pretreated dogs, the glomerular filtration rate recovered progressively, reaching 31% of basal preischemic values 150 min after reperfusion. During reperfusion, fractional excretion of sodium increased above preischemic values only in the control group, which indicates a beneficial effect of NAC and NAME on the tubular dysfunction observed during reperfusion. The renal response to Ach was abolished in control dogs and in animals given NAME during reperfusion, which indicates endothelial dysfunction. However, in NAC-pretreated dogs, the renal response to Ach was preserved during reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that NAC ameliorates the renal failure and renal endothelial dysfunction induced by IVCO. This protective effect was abolished by NAME, which suggests that NO is involved in the beneficial effects of NAC. These data also suggest that the use of NAC could be beneficial in ameliorating the acute renal failure observed after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Abstract
Objetivo: Vários estudos têm demonstrado que Radicais Livres de Oxigênio (RLO) contribuem para o dano celular decorrente da isquemia e reperfusão. Este estudo foi desenvolvido como o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da isquemia e reperfusão renal em ratos, tratados ou não com alopurinol, sobre a lipoperoxidação (LPO) das membranas celulares renais. Método: Foram usados ratos Wistar distribuídos em 4 grupos e submetidos a períodos de isquemia e reperfusão renal ou não, dependendo do grupo. Também foram submetidos ou não a tratamento com alopurinol na dose de 50 e 150 mg/Kg por via intraperitoneal, 5 e 1 horas antes do procedimento. Na avaliação da lipoperoxidação utilizou-se os métodos do TBARS e QL. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram aumento da LPO nos animais submetidos a isquemia e reperfusão renal. No entanto, estes efeitos deletérios foram reduzidos com o pré-tratamento com alopurinol (p<0,05). Conclusão: O dano causado em animais submetidos a isquemia e reperfusão renal pode ser demonstrado e quantificado pela LPO. Além disso, o alopurinol demonstrou proteção renal contra o dano decorrente desta síndrome, diminuindo a LPO nestes animais. Estes resultados sugerem que a via da xantina oxidase é uma das mais importantes rotas metabólicas envolvidas na geração de RLO, estes responsáveis em parte pelos danos funcionais do rim na síndrome da isquemia e reperfusão deste órgão.

Abstract
Biochemical changes that occur within hepatic tissue of the rat during ischemia and subsequent reperfusion were investigated using magnetic resonance spectroscopy of liver extracts. Hepatic ischemia was produced in the rat by a continuous clamping of the left branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein. In the reperfusion experiments, the vascular clamps were released after 30 or 120 min of ischemic periods. At the end of the periods of ischemia and/or reperfusion, the left and middle hepatic lobes were dissected and processed for subsequent 1H-MRS and 31P-MRS analyses. Phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylethanolamine contents all showed reduction of about 30% after 120 min of ischemia. In contrast, the content of lysophosphatidylcholine showed relatively small changes following ischemia. Ten minutes after initiation of reperfusion, further decline of the total phospholipid content resulting in as much 42% reduction was observed. Then it recovered to nearly the control level when ischemia was for 30 min, but to only 65% of the control level when ischemia was for 120 min. The cholesterol/-N-(CH3)3 ratio, generally regarded as a parameter for membrane fluidity, showed about a 40% increase when ischemia was for 120 min, a change toward decreased membrane fluidity. These results appear to reflect ischemia/reperfusion-induced changes of membrane phospholipid metabolism.

Abstract
1. Hypoxic alterations in isolated rat hepatocytes were demonstrated by a 90% ATP loss during 60 min of ischaemia and temporary increases of nucleotide degradation products. 2. The oxidative stress during reoxygenation was demonstrated in these cells by a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration (30%) and a threefold increase in lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RSs). The tremendous GSH loss could not be balanced by the slight oxidized glutathione (GSSG) increase during reoxygenation. 3. For the first time the involvement of free radicals was directly demonstrated using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy in reoxygenated liver cells. Using the spin trap 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO), a carbon-centred radical and the adduct of the hydroxyl radical could be detected during early reoxygenation. 4. Morphological alteration of cells was observed, beginning during hypoxia and increasing during post-hypoxic reoxygenation. Electron microscopic findings of hypoxic and post-hypoxic cell damage included pyknosis of nuclei, spherical transformation of mitochondria and increased number of vesicles.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that oxygen-derived free radicals are involved in mediating renal reperfusion injury. EPR spectroscopy and spin trapping with the spin traps DMPO and PBN, were used to detect and quantitate the formation of hydroxyl radicals in rat kidney after ischaemia-reperfusion in vivo and in vitro in the isolated rat kidney perfused in the absence of leucocytes. EPR analysis of homogenised kidneys and of venous samples did not detect radical adducts with either spin trap. With PBN, radical adducts were not detected in vitro. When DMPO was used as the spin trap in kidneys perfused without albumin in the perfusate, EPR signals characteristic of hydroxyl and carbon-centred radical adducts were detected during early reperfusion following ischaemia. These studies confirm the generation of hydroxyl radicals during ischaemia-reperfusion in kidney. During reperfusion the total DMPO adduct concentration reached 4.35 +/- 1.05 nmol/g kidney/3 min, p < 0.05. In control kidneys total adduct were present at lower concentration (2.55 +/- 1.1 nmol/g kidney/3 min). Addition of 15 mM dimethylthiourea abolished formation of these adducts following ischaemia-reperfusion but did not prevent a reduction in glomerular filtration rate. These results indicate that significant levels of hydroxyl and carbon-centred radicals are formed in the absence of circulating neutrophils during early renal reperfusion following ischaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neurological injury after cerebral air embolism may be due to thromboinflammatory responses at sites of air-injured endothelium. Because heparin inhibits multiple thromboinflammatory processes, we hypothesized that heparin would decrease neurological impairment after cerebral air embolism. METHODS To first establish a dose of air that would cause unequivocal neurological injury, anesthetized New Zealand White rabbits received either 0, 50, 100, or 150 microL/kg of air into the internal carotid artery (n = 5 in each group). One hour later, anesthesia was discontinued. Animals were neurologically evaluated at 24 hours with the use of a scale ranging from 0 (normal) to 97 (coma) points. In a subsequent experiment, anesthetized rabbits received either heparin (n = 17) or saline (n = 15) 5 minutes before air injection (150 microL/kg). Heparin was given as a 200-IU/kg bolus and followed by a constant infusion of 75 IU.kg-1.h-1 for 2 hours. Equal volumes of saline were given to control rabbits. Two hours later, anesthesia was discontinued. Animals were neurologically evaluated 24 hours after air embolism. RESULTS There was a monotonic relationship between dose of air and severity of neurological impairment at 24 hours (P = 1.1 x 10(-7)). Animals receiving 150 microL/kg of air were unequivocally injured (score, 60 +/- 16). In the second experiment, heparin animals had significantly less neurological impairment at 24 hours (34 +/- 14) than saline controls (52 +/- 8) (P = .0013). CONCLUSIONS When given prophylactically, heparin decreases neurological impairment caused by severe cerebral arterial air embolism.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is generated in abundance in renal ischemia/reperfusion with resultant decreases in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. To determine if ROS regulate ET-1 production, the effect of ROS donors or scavengers on ET-1 protein and mRNA levels in cultured human mesangial cells was examined. Incubation with xanthine/xanthine oxidase, glucose oxidase, or H2O2 caused a dose-dependent rise in ET-1 release. Similarly, xanthine/xanthine oxidase or H2O2 augmented ET-1 mRNA levels. In contrast, the ROS scavengers dimethylthiourea (DMTU), dimethylpyrroline N-oxide, or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate reduced basal ET-1 release, while DMTU lowered ET-1 mRNA levels. Deferoxamine, an iron chelator, also decreased basal ET-1 release. Superoxide dismutase potentiated the ET-1 stimulatory effect of xanthine/xanthine oxidase, while catalase abrogated the effect of xanthine/xanthine oxidase and H2O2. The effects of ROS were unrelated to changes in nitric oxide production or cytotoxicity. These data indicate that exogenously or endogenously-derived ROS can increase ET-1 production by human mesangial cells. While superoxide anion reduces ET-1 levels, H2O2 leads to enhanced production of the peptide. ROS stimulation of mesangial cell ET-1 production may contribute to impaired glomerular hemodynamics in the setting of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Redistribution of vitamin E in the rat body was studied during acute pancreatitis induced by two intraperitoneal doses of cerulein 40 micrograms/kg of body weight at 1-hr intervals. Hyperamylasemia (2064 +/- 521 vs 6419 +/- 129 U/dL) and pancreatic edema (pancreatic water content, 71 +/- 1.2% vs 78 +/- 2%) were observed. In this model the increased level of lipid soluble fluorophore was also observed (274 +/- 18 vs 120 +/- 9.0 relative fluorescence per g dry wt). Parallel with these changes was a decrease in the level of vitamin E in the serum and an increase in the pancreas. The concentration of vitamin E in the pancreas after 6 h was 162 +/- 8.5 ng/mg dry mass vs 128.1 +/- 6.1 ng/mg dry mass in control animals. The effect of heparin on vitamin E redistribution induced by acute pancreatitis was also investigated. It was found that heparin at a dose of 100 U/kg body mass prevents the drop of the vitamin E level in the serum as well as the increases in the concentration in the pancreas tissue. It was concluded that acute pancreatitis induced redistribution of vitamin E in the rat body. Moreover, we studied the effects of heparin treatment on oxidative stress in the pancreas tissue. Acute pancreatitis caused an increase in lipofuscin accumulation, and a decrease in protein sulfhydryl groups in citrate synthetase (CS) and in malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity. Heparin treatment that protected vitamin E accumulation in the pancreas tissue did not influence the changes in the level of lipofuscin and proteins sulfhydryl.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
