This study investigated the protective effect of fucoxanthin against renal ischemia/reperfusion injury and demonstrated that the underlying mechanism may involve the attenuation of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis through the activation of the Sirt1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway by fucoxanthin.
Oxidative stress is a key component of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Fucoxanthin (Fx), a marine carotenoid with enhanced antioxidant capacity, acts as a ROS inhibitor in diseases such as ischemic stroke and acute lung injury. We hypothesized that fucoxanthin could attenuate renal I/R-induced oxidative damage. C57BL/6 mice (n=30) were randomly assigned to sham, IR, IR+DMSO, and IR+Fx (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) groups. The renal I/R injury was induced by clamping the left kidney nephron tip in mice. Fucoxanthin was injected intraperitoneally 24 hours before surgery. Compared with the IR group, pretreatment with fucoxanthin significantly improved renal dysfunction and tissue structural damage and inhibited ROS levels and apoptosis. Consistent results were observed in HK-2 cells. Besides, we found that renal I/R resulted in decreased expression of Sirt1, Nrf2, and HO-1, while fucoxanthin upregulated the expression of Sirt1, Nrf2, and HO-1. The protective effects of fucoxanthin were significantly reversed by EX527 (a selective inhibitor of Sirt1) or si-Sirt1. In conclusion, our study investigated the protective effect of fucoxanthin against renal I/R injury, and the underlying mechanism may be related to the activation of the Sirt1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway by fucoxanthin to attenuate oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
