Activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) has been suggested to attenuate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We recently found a compound, namely BIX, that activated the UPR selectively through the activating transcription factor 6 pathway. This study examined the effect of BIX on renal I/R injury in mice. BIX selectively up-regulated renal BIP mRNA and protein. Pretreatment with BIX significantly ameliorated renal I/R injury. Co-administration of BIX and tunicamycin, a non-selective UPR inducer, provided no additional protection. Our results suggest that the UPR activation by BIX leads to a novel drug therapy against renal I/R injury.
