Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia Protects from Acute and Chronic Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice by Mitigated Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Modulation of Local and Systemic Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury can lead to acute kidney injury, increasing the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. We hypothesized that mild therapeutic hypothermia (mTH), 34 °C, applied during ischemia could protect the function and structure of kidneys against IR injuries in mice. In vivo bilateral renal IR led to an increase in plasma urea and acute tubular necrosis at 24 h prevented by mTH. One month after unilateral IR, kidney atrophy and fibrosis were reduced by mTH. Evaluation of mitochondrial function showed that mTH protected against IR-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction at 24 h, by preserving CRC and OX-PHOS. mTH completely abrogated the IR increase of plasmatic IL-6 and IL-10 at 24 h. Acute tissue inflammation was decreased by mTH (IL-6 and IL1-β) in as little as
