RESUMO
Renal tubular resistance has been studied for the understanding of ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). Subsequent ischemic episodes may induce renal resistance whose mechanisms seem to be related to cell alterations. P21 is a cell cycle inhibitor that may be induced by oxygen free radicals and may have a protective effect in ischemic ARF. This study aimed at evaluating the role of oxidative stress and p21 on tubular resistance in isolated renal tubules and in a model of acquired resistance after renal ischemia. Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: group 1 - sham; group 2 - submitted to sham procedure and after 2 days submitted to 45 min ischemia and group 3 - submitted to ischemia of 45 min followed by a second 45 min ischemia after 2 days. Plasma urea levels (114±60 vs. 136±44 mg/dL), serum creatinine (0.86±0.2 vs. 0.98±0.1mg/dL) and creatinine clearance (0.21±0.1vs. 0.24±0.1mL/min/100g.) evaluated at 48 hours after the second procedure were similar between groups 2 and 3 (all NS). ARF recovery time was also similar between groups 2 and 3. Histology disclosed the same degree of acute tubular necrosis between groups 2 and 3. Lymphocytes infiltrate was similar among all groups whereas macrophages infiltrate was greater in group 3. Enhanced cell proliferation was observed in groups 2 and 3 when compared with group 1 (125±28 cel/mm2, p<0.05), however it was greater in group 2 (1,262±440 cel/mm2) than group 3 (653±300 cel/mm2, p<0.05 vs. group 2). Degree of apoptosis was similar between groups 2 and 3. The p21 expression was increased only in group 3 whereas it was similar in groups 1 and 2. Cell resistance was also evaluated in isolated renal proximal tubules (PT) from control and ischemia groups. In the latter group, animals were submitted to 35 min ischemia and PT were isolated one day later. PT from the ischemia group were sensitive to hypoxia but resistant to reoxygenation injury which was followed by lower hydroperoxides production. In conclusion, renal resistance obtained by an ischemia was associated with cell mechanisms involving oxidative stress and increased p21 expression as mediators of this protection.
