摘要

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury is a critical clinical problem caused by kidney and heart surgery and can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to circulating soluble isoforms of VEGF-A, thereby inhibiting the activation of VEGF molecular pathways and eliciting antiangiogenic effects. This study assessed the nephroprotective potential of bevacizumab in a rat model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Twenty-four Sprague–Dawley rats were allocated into four groups: Sham, I/R, I/R + normal saline, and I/R + bevacizumab. The sham group was subjected to laparotomy without I/R induction. The I/R, I/R + normal saline, and I/R + bevacizumab groups were subjected to 30 min of bilateral renal ischemia, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. The rats in the I/R + normal saline and I/R + bevacizumab groups were administered normal saline (vehicle for bevacizumab) and 0.1 mg/kg bevacizumab via intraperitoneal injection 60 min before ischemia, respectively. Renal damage markers (creatinine and KIM-1), inflammatory and oxidative markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-κB, F8-isoprostane and SOD), and an apoptotic marker (caspase-3) were measured via ELISA. Nrf2 and MLKL were assessed by IHC, and RIPK1 and HO-1 were assessed by RT‒qPCR, in addition to histological examination and molecular docking. Compared with the sham group, the I/R and I/R + normal saline groups presented significant increases in creatinine, KIM-1, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, F8-isoprostane, caspase-3, RIPK1, and MLKL and a reduction in SOD. Compared with those in the sham group, the histological findings in the I/R and I/R + normal saline groups revealed notable structural damage. Conversely, bevacizumab significantly reduced renal damage, inflammatory marker levels, cellular death, and histopathological findings. In bevacizumab-treated rats, the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and HO-1 increased. Moreover, molecular docking analysis revealed that bevacizumab interacted with Keap1. Bevacizumab has nephroprotective effects against renal IRI by diminishing inflammation, necroptosis, apoptosis, and necrosis through the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and the inhibition of the RIPK1/MLKL pathway.
