Tubular IKKβ Deletion Alleviates Acute Ischemic Kidney Injury and Facilitates Tissue Regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common renal injury leading to relevant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most of the clinical cases of AKI are caused by ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury with renal ischemia injury followed by reperfusion injury and activation of the innate immune response converging to NF-ĸB pathway induction. Despite the clear role of NF-ĸB in inflammation, it has recently been acknowledged that NF-ĸB may impact other cell functions. To identify NF-ĸB function with respect to metabolism, vascular function and oxidative stress after I/R injury and to decipher in detail the underlying mechanism, we generated a transgenic mouse model with targeted deletion of IKKβ along the tubule and applied I/R injury followed by its analysis after 2 and 14 days after I/R injury.
