I/R is the leading cause of acute kidney injury, and it occurs when blood flow to the kidney is interrupted and subsequently restored. I/R impairs renal function in both short and long terms. Renal ischemic preconditioning refers to all maneuvers intended to prevent or attenuate ischemic damage. In this context, the present review focuses on the dual-specificity phosphatase 3 (DUSP3), also known as vaccinia H1-related phosphatase, an uncommon regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. DUSP3 has different biological functions: (1) it acts as a tumor modulator and (2) it is involved in the regulation of immune response, thrombosis, hemostasis, angiogenesis, and genomic stability. These functions occur either through MAPK-dependent or MAPK-independent mechanisms. DUSP3 genetic deletion dampens kidney damage and inflammation caused by I/R in mice, suggesting DUSP3 as a potential target for preventing renal I/R injury. Here, we discuss the putative role of DUSP3 in ischemic preconditioning and the potential mechanisms of such an attenuated inflammatory response via improved kidney perfusion and adequate innate immune response.</p>","PeriodicalId":23316,"journal":{"name":"Transplantation","volume":"108 11","pages":"2166-2173"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142523210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
