Apoptosis is involved in acute renal failure (ARF). Its exact mechanism still remains to be explored. The Jak-Stat pathway participates in inflammation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis. In an in vitro model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), we investigated the role of Jak2 kinase inhibition on signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (Stat1) and Stat3 activations as well as apoptosis of human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKCs) induced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion/recovery.
ATP depletion of HKCs is induced by antimycin A.
The Jak2-specific inhibitor AG490 decreased Stat1 and Stat3 phosphorylations and promoted HKC apoptosis induced by ATP depletion/recovery.
Our results have demonstrated that Jak2 inhibition participated in the ATP depletion-induced apoptosis of HKCs, which might be a potential target for prevention and treatment of ARF.
细胞凋亡与急性肾衰竭(ARF)有关。其确切机制仍有待探索。Jak-Stat信号通路参与炎症、细胞凋亡和肿瘤发生。在肾缺血/再灌注损伤(IRI)的体外模型中,我们研究了Jak2激酶抑制对信号转导子和转录激活子1(Stat1)和Stat3激活以及三磷酸腺苷(ATP)耗竭/恢复诱导的人近端肾小管上皮细胞(HKCs)凋亡的作用。
用抗霉素A诱导HKCs的ATP耗竭。
Jak2特异性抑制剂AG490降低了Stat1和Stat3的磷酸化,并促进了ATP耗竭/恢复诱导的HKC凋亡。
我们的结果表明,Jak2抑制参与了ATP耗竭诱导的HKCs凋亡,这可能是ARF防治的潜在靶点。
