BACKGROUND: During aging, excessive ROS production in the kidneys leads to redox imbalance, which contributes to oxidative damage and impaired organ homeostasis. However, whether and how aging-related NOX4-Nrf2 redox imbalance increases susceptibility to cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury remain largely unknown.
METHODS: In this study, we used cisplatin-challenged aging mouse models and senescent HK-2 cells to investigate the effects and mechanisms of aging on susceptibility to cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.
RESULTS: In vivo, we found that cisplatin stimulation caused more severe renal damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy impairment in aging mice than in young mice. Moreover, Nrf2 deficiency aggravated cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury by exacerbating NOX4-Nrf2 redox imbalance and defective mitophagy. In vitro experiments on D-gal-treated human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) demonstrated that senescent renal epithelial cells exhibited increased susceptibility to cisplatin-induced apoptosis, NOX4-Nrf2 redox imbalance-mediated oxidative stress and defective mitophagy. Mechanistically, we found that knockdown of Nrf2 in HK2 cells resulted in increased ROS and aggravated mitophagy impairment, whereas these effects were reversed in NOX4-knockdown cells.
CONCLUSION: The present study indicates that NOX4-Nrf2 redox imbalance is critical for mitophagy deficiency in aged renal tubular epithelial cells and is a therapeutic target for alleviating cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in elderly patients.
