| Research Abstract |
We have found that increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity during ischemic period and renal venous norepinephrine(NE) level after reperfusion play important roles in the development of ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)-induced acute kidney injury. In the present study, we examined the effect of isatin, an endogenous monoamine oxidase(MAO) inhibitor, moclobemide, a selective MAO_A inhibitor, and selegiline, a selective MAO_B inhibitor, on renal venous NE levels, superoxide(O_2^-) production after reperfusion and I/R-induced acute kidney injury. I/R-induced acute kidney injury was made by clamping the left renal artery and vein for 45 min followed by reperfusion, 2 weeks after the contralateral nephrectomy. Injection of isatin or moclobemide before ischemia increased the renal venous plasma NE level after reperfusion and aggravated I/R-induced renal injury, but not selegiline administration. The excessive O_2^-production after reperfusion was significantly suppressed by injection of all drugs, indicating that the inhibition of oxidative deamination effectively suppressed O_2^-production. Therefore, the aggravation effect of isatin seems to be mediated through increased NE levels in the kidney after reperfusion on I/R-induced acute kidney injury.
