Oxidative stress plays a key role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) development and progression, inducing cell damage, inflammation, fibrosis. However, effective therapeutic interventions to slow down CKD advancement are currently lacking. The multifaceted pharmacological effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) have made it promising avenue. H2 is capable capturing harmful •OH ONOO- while maintaining the crucial reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved cellular signaling. NRF2-KEAP1 system, which manages redox balance, could be used treat CKD. activates this pathway, fortifying antioxidant defenses scavenging ROS counteract oxidative stress. can improve NRF2 signaling by using Wnt/β-catenin pathway indirectly activate mitochondria. Additionally, modulates NF-κB activity regulating status, inhibiting MAPK pathways, Trx levels. Treatment with also attenuates HIF neutralizing bolstering HIF-1α function. Furthermore, affects FOXO factors enhances enzymes. Despite encouraging results bench studies, clinical trials still limited require further investigation. focus review on hydrogen's treating renal diseases, specific regulation, discusses its potential applications.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health issue with rising morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, effective therapeutic options are limited, necessitating innovative treatment approaches. Also, current frontline treatments that available against CKD not uniformly often come significant side effects. Therefore, identifying new targets or improving existing for crucial. Drug repurposing promising strategy the drug discovery process involves screening approved drugs applications. This review discusses pharmacological mechanisms clinical evidence support efficacy of these repurposed drugs. Various classes such as inodilators, endothelin-1 type A (ET-1A) receptor antagonists, bisphosphonates, mineralocorticoid (MR) DNA demethylating agents, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (NRF2) activators, P2X7 inhibitors, autophagy modulators, hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHI) discussed could remarkably contribute CKD.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is recognized as one of the primary causes chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Vaccarin (VAC) confers favorable effects on cardiovascular metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Nonetheless, potential role mechanism VAC in etiology DN have yet to be completely elucidated. In this study, a classical mouse model T2DM experimentally induced via high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozocin (STZ) regimen. Renal histological changes are assessed H&E staining. Masson staining immunohistochemistry (IHC) employed assess fibrosis. RT-PCR utilized quantify mRNA levels fibrosis, oxidative stress inflammation markers. The malondialdehyde (MDA) reactive oxygen species (ROS), well content glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), measured. protein expressions collagen I, TGF-β1, α-SMA, E-cadherin, Nrf2, catalase, SOD3, SOD2, SOD1, p-ERK, p-EGFR (Y845), (Y1173), p-NFκB P65, t-ERK, t-EGFR t-NFκB P65 detected by western blot analysis. Our results reveal that has beneficial effect mice improving function mitigating damage. This achieved through its inhibition inflammatory cytokine overproduction, ROS generation. Moreover, treatment effectively suppresses process epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), crucial characteristic high glucose (HG)-induced HK-2 cells. Network pharmacology analysis molecular docking identify epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) target for VAC. Amino acid site mutations Lys-879, Ile-918, Ala-920 EGFR may mediate direct binding EGFR. support these findings, reduces phosphorylation both downstream mediator, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), diabetic kidneys HG-treated Notably, blocking either or ERK1/2 yields benefits similar those observed with treatment. Therefore, study reveals attenuates damage inactivation EGFR/ERK1/2 signaling axis patients.

Elevated levels endothelial cell dysfunction associated inflammation, causing increased permeability, which can disrupt ecosystem, progressive albuminuria fibrosis DKD. This study specifically examines contribution cell-specific human NOX5 expression pathology transgenic mouse model additionally compares with previously characterized oxidase, NOX4, terms their relative roles Regardless NOX4 pathway, this found exacerbates injury, fibrosis. is attributed activation mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway via enhanced formation modulation redox-sensitive factors.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease in which kidney involvement, so-called nephritis (LN), common and one of the most severe manifestations. Oxidative stress (OS) may play role pathogenesis LN through exacerbation inflammation immune cell dysfunction/dysregulation. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2), also known as nuclear erythroid-derived 2-like 2, transcription that humans encoded by NFE2L2 gene regarded central regulator antioxidative response. Nrf2-activating compounds have been shown to alleviate oxidative cells tissues lupus-prone mice. Although precise mechanisms Nrf2 activation on system SLE remain be elucidated, are considered novel therapeutical options suppress OS thereby might activity SLE, especially LN.
