Carnosol attenuates Ang II-induced renal injury by p62-KEAP1-NRF2 signaling pathway
Hypertension engenders numerous complications, including hypertensive renal disease (HRD). Recent studies have underscored the significance of redox homeostasis in hypertension-associated kidney disorders. Carnosol (Car) has been identified as a potent antioxidant in other diseases. Nevertheless, its role in HRD remains uncertain. This research evaluated the therapeutic impact of Car on HRD and explored its pharmacological mechanism. Car (40 mg/kg) effectively ameliorated kidney injury and oxidative stress (OS) induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Car facilitates the phosphorylation of p62 through its interaction with mTOR, leading to the degradation of KEAP1, the release of NRF2, and the subsequent upregulation of antioxidant genes. Blocking mTORC1 eliminated Car-induced p62 activation and its antioxidant functions. In summary, our research has demonstrated that Car activates the p62-KEAP1-NRF2 pathway to alleviate the kidney injury and OS caused by Ang II. Consequently, Car may emerge as a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of Ang II-induced kidney injury.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
