Mp61-07 myeloid ho-1 prevents kidney remote organ damage following renal ischemia-reperfusion injury

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inherent process to kidney transplantation. The subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1 β, TNF-α, IL-6) may induce a systemic inflammatory response, resulting in pro-inflammatory cells recruitment and remote organ damage. Several studies have already documented dysfunction of the lung, heart, liver, and brain following renal IRI. The heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a stress-responsive enzym e endowed with cytoprotective, antiapoptotic, and immunomodulatory properties, protects kidney from renal IRI when pharmacology induced before ischemia.
