Renal ischaemia produced by clamping of the blood vessels in situ for periods of 10 to 150 minutes resulted in a progressive depletion of the total content of adenylates in the kidney tissue (sigma ATP, ADP, AMP). Initial dephosphorylation of ATP and ADP, resulting in further catabolism of AMP to hypoxanthine and xanthine, accumulated in the ischaemic tissue. The postischaemic ability of the kidney tissue to functional regeneration was in correlation with the ischaemic adenylate loss (r = +0.94, P less than 0.001) as well as the accumulation of hypoxanthine and xanthine (r = -0.90, P less than 0.001). The initial adenylate resynthesis rate was constant during recovery (0.5--0.8 mumol/g . h-1), independent of the duration of the preceding ischaemia. Determination of the postischaemic adenylate regeneration thus gave no additional prediction of the reversibility of the ischaemic parenchymal damages.

Since previous studies have shown a protective effect of the administration of adenosine triphosphate-magnesium chloride (ATP-MgCl2) in shock, the present study was undertaken to determine the effect of the infusion of ATP-MgCl2 after 30 minutes of renal artery occlusion. In animals who received no infusion or only MgCl2, the combination of reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), marked diuresis, and reperfusion of the outer cortex suggested that these animals were in the early recovery phase of acute renal failure. In the animals who received ATP-MgCl2, there was improved GRF, no diuresis, and a normal pattern of cortical blood flow distribution. These findings would suggest that the infusion of ATP-MgCl2 appears to have either ameliorated the effect of renal ischemia, or to have accelerated the recovery process. While the precise mechanism of action of ATP-MgCl2 remains unknown, these observations may have important implications for future use in organ preservation and the management of acute renal failure.

Renal metabolism has been studied in eight dogs before and 48 hr after a 60-min period of renal ischemia induced by clamping the left renal artery with the simultaneous removal of the right kidney, and in 12 sham-operated animals. The study involved the measurement of renal uptake and production of lactate, glutamine, glutamate, alanine, ammonium, and oxygen, and the measurement of the tissue concentrations of ATP, glutamine, lactate, alpha-ketoglutarate, aspartate, and alanine in the renal cortex. Two days after a temporary renal ischemia, the remaining kidney showed a 22% decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and a 25% decrease in renal plasma flow. Fractional sodium and potassium excretions were similar to those of control dogs. Renal production or extraction of glutamine, glutamate, alanine, ammonium, and oxygen (all expressed by 100 ml of GFR) was not significantly different in basal conditions or 2 days after ischemia, but lactate extraction was reduced in postischemic kidneys (-101 +/- 29 vs -204 +/- 38 mumol/100 ml GFR in control dogs). The cortical concentrations of glutamine and glutamate were lower in postischemic than in control kidneys. No differences were found in cortical concentration of alpha-ketoglutarate, aspartate, lactate, pyruvate, or ATP, but total nucleotides and inorganic phosphate were decreased in postischemic kidneys. It is concluded that in the recovery phase of the ischemia, a decreased lactate uptake is the main metabolic change, and total ATP production is adapted to the decrease of GFR and sodium reabsorption.

The role of nucleoside uptake in the enhanced metabolic recovery seen with postischemic ATP.MgCl2 was assessed by determining the effect of S-(p-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI) on postischemic ATP recovery in rats given normal saline (NS), ATP.MgCl2, or adenosine after 45 min of bilateral renal ischemia. In NS-infused animals, postischemic administration of NBTI (250 nmol) had no significant effect on the pattern of ATP recovery. In animals given 50 mumol ATP.MgCl2, coinfusion of NBTI significantly reduced the renal ATP content 2 h after reperfusion but blocked only one-half of the enhancement in renal ATP content compared with animals given ATP.MgCl2 alone. In animals postischemically infused with [2,5,8-3H]ATP.MgCl2 (50 mumol) there was significant labeling of nucleotides, nucleosides, and bases after 2 h of reperfusion. The specific activity of the adenosine pool was consistent with significant label uptake in the form of adenosine. Coinfusion of NBTI led to a significant reduction in label incorporation into renal ATP and total adenine nucleotide pools. These data are consistent with an important role for an NBTI-sensitive nucleoside uptake mechanism in the enhanced metabolic and functional recovery observed in ischemically injured kidney treated by postischemic infusion of ATP.MgCl2.

Content of adenine nucleotides, lactic and pyruvic acids, glucose and fructose-6-phosphate was studied in kidney of rats with hemorrhage constituting 3% of body mass after intravenous administration at a dose of 100 mg/kg of agonists of mu-opiate receptors DAGO and delta-opiate receptors DADL and dalargin. Stimulation of both these types of receptors amplifies the kidney ischemia developed after hemorrhage, which was expressed as increased decomposition of ATP, decrease in energetic charge of the adenine nucleotide system (DAGO) and increase in content of AMP (DADL, dalargin).

The objective of this investigation was to test the effects of glycine, a cytoprotectant in normothermic in vitro models of renal ischemia, in a model of hypothermic renal preservation injury. This study also probes possible physiological mechanisms of glycine protection during renal hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion injury. Canine kidneys were subjected to 48 h of hypothermic ischemia (4 degrees C) after intravascular flush with cold conventional Collins solution (G. H. Collins, M. B. Bravo-Shugarman, and P. I. Terasaki, Lancet 2: 1219-1223, 1969) and were subsequently revascularized for 1 h. After 1 h of reperfusion, glomerular filtration rate, urine production, and electrolyte excretion were dramatically higher when the Collins flush contained 5 mM glycine, compared with the 0 mM glycine controls. Renal tissue adenine nucleotides and glutathione levels progressively declined with graded cold ischemia times, and glycine had no effect on these levels. However, renal tissue ATP levels (but not glutathione) were significantly higher when kidneys were flushed with glycine, stored for 48 h, and reoxygenated in vitro for 1 h at 37 degrees C, compared with kidneys flushed without glycine. Analysis of CoA esters from ischemic renal tissue indicated altered production of only butyryl CoA after 48 and 72 h of cold ischemia, but no differences were detected in glycine or control kidneys. In conclusion, this study reports dramatic functional preservation with glycine in kidneys subjected to hypothermic ischemia and in vivo reperfusion. The mechanisms of these effects appear not to be attributable to the maintenance of cellular adenine nucleotide or glutathione levels nor to the scavenging of accumulated amphipathic acyl CoA esters.

Renal failure was produced in rats by unilateral clamping of the left renal artery for 60 min, followed by reperfusion and contralateral nephrectomy. Prophylactic administrations of benidipine (10, 30 micrograms/kg, i.v.) significantly ameliorated the development of renal failure as estimated by histological examination as well as by the measurements of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. ATP content of the ischemic kidney dropped immediately after renal ischemia, and this decline persisted for more than 48 hr after reperfusion. The content of lipid peroxide in the kidney was increased 15 min after reperfusion following renal ischemia. Calcium content of the kidney progressively increased after reperfusion and reached the peak level 24 hr after reperfusion, whereas calcium content scarcely changed during 60 min of renal ischemia. The decline of ATP, the lipid peroxidation, and the increase in calcium content of the kidney observed after reperfusion were significantly inhibited by pretreatment of the rats with benidipine (30 micrograms/kg, i.v.). These results suggest that lipid peroxidation and Ca-overload play causative roles in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic renal failure and that benidipine protects the ischemic kidney by inhibiting these deteriorating consequences.

Renal effects of 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP)-type calcium antagonists (nitrendipine and nisoldipine) were analyzed in diverse conditions, such as long-term antihypertensive treatment, acute saline-loading, and acute renal failure in rats. In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), 60-week treatment with nitrendipine resulted in normotensive blood pressure values without increasing body weight, an indicator of salt-water retention, or increasing plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration compared with the untreated rats. After acute saline-loading of normotensive or hypertensive rats, administration of calcium antagonists nitrendipine and nisoldipine increased urinary volume and sodium excretion. This was in contrast to the effects observed with the vasodilator minoxidil, with which salt-water retention was shown. In acute renal failure induced by 60-min renal ischemia in uninephrectomized rats, administration of nisoldipine decreased mortality rate and improved kidney function. The increase in renal tissue calcium content and the decrease in ATP content associated with the renal failure was abolished by nisoldipine treatment. In conclusion, renal protective effects are present with DHP-type calcium antagonists; however, mechanisms in situations such as hypertension or acute renal failure might be different and deserve further analysis.

The addition of the disaccharides maltose (10, 20, 30 mM) and sucrose (30, 60 mM) to Bretschneider's organ protective HTK solution was evaluated to improve renal protection by an enhanced glycolytic energy supply. Canine kidneys were perfused for 8 min with either HTK solution or HTK solution containing additional disaccharides. After nephrectomy the kidneys were incubated at 25 degrees C and metabolic parameters were determined at regular intervals. Maltose and sucrose are slowly cleaved during renal ischemia but maltose distinctly faster than sucrose. Maltose increases intraischemic ATP supply. However, 30 mM maltose was no better than 10 mM. 60 mM sucrose was about as effective for glycolysis as 10 mM maltose. However, possibly due to fructose release there was an accelerated decrease of adenine nucleotides with sucrose. Although fructose enters glycolysis it seems to have negative side-effects. Hence, probably neither sucrose nor fructose are appropriate for renal substrate supply during ischemia.

We have evaluated the impact of inhibiting adenine nucleotide dephosphorylation on the metabolic and functional consequences of renal ischemia. Intramuscular injection of the ADP-analogue adenosine alpha, beta-methylene diphosphate (AMP-CP) achieved a 70% reduction in 5'-nucleotidase activity, as measured in crude extracts of rat kidney. AMPCP-treated animals had an increased residual nucleotide pool at the end of 45 min of ischemia compared with untreated rats. Assessment of renal ATP by 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) in vivo during reflow demonstrates the following: 1) higher rapid initial recovery of ATP (69.3 +/- 1.2 vs. 50.0 +/- 0.5% control value, P less than 0.005), 2) accelerated rate of ATP restoration (0.20 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.11 +/- 0.01% control/min, P less than 0.005), and 3) significantly enhanced renal ATP content after 120 min (93.6 +/- 2.0 vs. 63.1 +/- 0.7% control, P less than 0.005). Kidney function, as measured by the rate of inulin clearance 24 h after the insult, was also significantly improved in AMPCP-treated rats (725 +/- 50 vs. 313 +/- 28 microliters.min-1.100 g body wt-1). Thus inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase results in enhanced metabolic and functional recovery from a renal ischemic insult.
