Investigating the renoprotective effect of C21 in male mice with sepsis via modulation of p-AKT/PI3K expression

©2023 JOURNAL of MEDICINE and LIFE..

This study aimed to investigate if C21 could prevent acute renal injury induced by sepsis by regulating the expression of p-AKT/PI3K. Five equal groups of 25 adult male Swiss-albino mice were randomly divided (n=5): sham (laparotomy without CLP), CLP, vehicle (equivalent amount of DMSO one hour before CLP), and C21 (0.03 mg/kg, one hour before CLP). ELISA was used to measure serum inflammatory mediators, and the expression of PI3K and P-AKT was determined using PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC), respectively. TNF, TNF receptor, F8-isoprostane, urea, creatinine, and IL-6 blood levels were considerably lower in the CLP group (p<0.05) compared to the sham group, whereas the C21 treated group had significantly (p<0.05) greater levels of these inflammatory mediators. The IHC analysis revealed that P-AKT expression was significantly lower (p<0.05) in the CLP group compared to the sham group, while the C21 pretreatment group had significantly higher levels of P-AKT expression compared to the CLP group (p<0.05). The PI3K expression in the CLP group was significantly lower than in the sham group (p<0.05), according to PCR results, whereas the PI3K expression in the C21 pretreatment group was significantly greater than in the CLP group (p<0.05). This study showed that C21 might reduce levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-, IL-6, and TNF receptor, by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, which can, in turn, reduce renal dysfunction during CLP-induced sepsis in male mice.
