Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation after free-radical-induced DNA damage depletes cellular energy stores and participates in ischemia-reflow injury. We studied the potential protective effect of the water-soluble PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) in a rat model of acute renal failure (ARF) from combined administration of radiocontrast, indomethacin and N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. Kidney function at 24 h was better preserved in rats treated with 3-AB as compared to control animals. However, the extent of tubular hypoxic damage was not significantly mitigated. It is concluded that PARP inhibition may attenuate renal dysfunction in this model of ARF with medullary hypoxic tubular injury even while the extent of tubular necrosis is not significantly altered. Further studies of this dyssynchrony of structure and function may provide important insights into the sequence of events that promotes renal failure after medullary injury.

Poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), a super family of enzymes, play important roles in preserving genomic integrity, regulating transcriptions, protecting telomeres and determining cell fate. PARP overactivation leads to metabolic disorder and cell injury via depletion of energy substance. However, it is still unclear whether PARP overactivation happens during acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by endotoxic shock (ES). Here, we built a canine model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ES to explore the role of PARP during the development AKI. We also used an intravenous injection of 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) to further explore whether PARP inhibition rescues the kidney from injury. Cell fate and energy metabolism were detected to explore the underlying mechanisms. As a result, Western blot and immunohistochemistry assays showed PARP overactivation in the very early phase of ES. Through PARP inhibition by 3-AB, we observed significant improvement of systemic hemodynamics, renal hemodynamics, renal oxygen metabolism and renal tubular cell apoptosis. These findings indicated that overactivation of PARP plays an important role in septic AKI. Inhibition of PARP overactivation may protect renal function against hemodynamic disorder, renal metabolism disturbance and renal cell apoptosis during endotoxic AKI.
