The Protective Role of Prolyl Oligopeptidase (POP) Inhibition in Kidney Injury Induced by Renal Ischemia–Reperfusion

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex pathophysiological process characterized by blood circulation disorder caused by various factors, such as traumatic shock, surgery, organ transplantation, and thrombus. Severe metabolic dysregulation and tissue structure destruction are observed upon re...

The Protective Role of Prolyl Oligopeptidase (POP) Inhibition in Kidney Injury Induced by Renal Ischemia–Reperfusion
description Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex pathophysiological process characterized by blood circulation disorder caused by various factors, such as traumatic shock, surgery, organ transplantation, and thrombus. Severe metabolic dysregulation and tissue structure destruction are observed upon restoration of blood flow to the ischemic tissue. The kidney is a highly perfused organ, sensitive to ischemia and reperfusion injury, and the incidence of renal IRI has high morbidity and mortality. Several studies showed that infiltration of inflammatory cells, apoptosis, and angiogenesis are important mechanisms involved in renal IRI. Despite advances in research, effective therapies for renal IRI are lacking. Recently it has been demonstrated the role of KYP2047, a selective inhibitor of prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), in the regulation of inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Thus, this research focused on the role of POP in kidney ischemia/reperfusion (KI/R). An in vivo model of KI/R was performed and mice were subjected to KYP2047 treatment (intraperitoneal, 0.5, 1 and 5 mg/kg).
