Ozone oxidative preconditioning inhibits inflammation and apoptosis in a rat model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury, which is commonly seen in the field of renal surgery or transplantation, is a major cause of acute renal failure. Previous studies showed that ozone oxidative preconditioning (OzoneOP) attenuated renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to examine the role of the OzoneOP in modulating inflammation and apoptosis after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Rats were subjected to 45 min of renal ischemia, with or without treatment with OzoneOP (1 mg/kg). Renal function, inflammation and apoptosis were compared at 24 h after renal injury. OzoneOP improved the renal dysfunction and reduced inflammation and apoptosis after ischemia/reperfusion injury. In conclusion, OzoneOP has potent anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. These findings may have major implications in the treatment of human ischemic acute renal failure.
