Valproic acid attenuates proteinuria and kidney injury.

چکیده
Inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) have anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects in several organs and tissues, but their effect on the progression of renal disease is unknown. Here, we studied the effect of valproic acid in adriamycin-induced nephropathy in mice. Administration of valproic acid before kidney injury prevented the development of proteinuria and the onset of glomerulosclerosis. Even after postponing treatment until the peak of adriamycin-induced proteinuria, valproic acid rapidly decreased the quantity of proteinuria and attenuated the progression of renal disease. Valproic acid abrogated the decrease in glomerular acetylation observed during adriamycin-induced nephropathy. Furthermore, valproic acid attenuated the significant upregulation of profibrotic and proinflammatory genes, the deposition of collagen, and the infiltration of macrophages into the kidney. Valproic acid decreased glomerular apoptosis and proliferation induced by adriamycin. Ultrastructural studies further supported the protective effect of valproic acid on podocytes in this model. Taken together, these data suggest that HDACs contribute to the pathogenesis of renal disease and that HDAC inhibitors may have therapeutic potential in CKD.

Background and Objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to the loss of axons and cell death via necrosis and apoptosis, eventually resulting in sensory and motor dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of valproic acid on the inhibition of apoptosis and the improvement of motor function in the rat model of spinal cord injury. Materials and Methods: Contusion model was u...

Development of pharmacologic agents that protect podocytes from injury is a critical strategy for the treatment of kidney glomerular diseases. Retinoic acid reduces proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in multiple animal models of kidney diseases. However, clinical studies are limited because of significant side effects of retinoic acid. Animal studies suggest that all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) ...

Background: The primary phase of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) starts by a complex local inflammatory reaction such as secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia and injured cells that substantially contribute to exacerbating pathogenic events in secondary phase. Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Acetylation of histones is critical to cellular inflammatory...
