Abstract

Proximal tubule cells (PTCs), which are the primary site of kidney injury associated with ischemia or nephrotoxicity, are the site of oligonucleotide reabsorption within the kidney. We exploited this property to test the efficacy of siRNA targeted to p53, a pivotal protein in the apoptotic pathway, to prevent kidney injury. Naked synthetic siRNA to p53 injected intravenously 4 h after ischemic injury maximally protected both PTCs and kidney function. PTCs were the primary site for siRNA uptake within the kidney and body. Following glomerular filtration, endocytic uptake of Cy3-siRNA by PTCs was rapid and extensive, and significantly reduced ischemia-induced p53 upregulation. The duration of the siRNA effect in PTCs was 24 to 48 h, determined by levels of p53 mRNA and protein expression. Both Cy3 fluorescence and in situ hybridization of siRNA corroborated a short t(1/2) for siRNA. The extent of renoprotection, decrease in cellular p53 and attenuation of p53-mediated apoptosis by siRNA were dose- and time-dependent. Analysis of renal histology and apoptosis revealed improved injury scores in both cortical and corticomedullary regions. siRNA to p53 was also effective in a model of cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Taken together, these data indicate that rapid delivery of siRNA to proximal tubule cells follows intravenous administration. Targeting siRNA to p53 leads to a dose-dependent attenuation of apoptotic signaling, suggesting potential therapeutic benefit for ischemic and nephrotoxic kidney injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
