Abstrakt: Renal ischemia/reperfusion (RI/R) is a critical clinical outcome with slightly reported improvement in mortality and morbidity. Effective therapies are still crucially required. Accordingly, the therapeutic effects of esculin (ESC, LCESI-MS/MS-isolated compound from Vachellia farnesiana flowers extract, with reported P2X7 receptor inhibitor activity) alone and in combination with erythropoietin (EPO) were investigated against RI/R injury and the possible underlying mechanisms were delineated. ESC and EPO were administered for 7 days and 30 min prior to RI, respectively. Twenty-four hour following reperfusion, blood and kidney samples were collected. Results revealed that pretreatment with either ESC or EPO reduced serum nephrotoxicity indices, renal oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptosis markers. They also ameliorated the renal histopathological injury on both endothelial and tubular epithelial levels. Notably, ESC markedly inhibited P2X7 receptors and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling (downregulated NLRP3 and Caspase-1 gene expressions), whereas EPO significantly upregulated PI3K and Akt gene expressions, also p-PI3K and p-Akt levels in renal tissues. ESC, for the first time, demonstrated effective protection against RI/R-injury and its combination with EPO exerted maximal renoprotection when compared to each monotherapy, thereby representing an effective therapeutic approach via inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, renal tubular and endothelial injury, apoptosis, and P2X7 receptors expression, and activating PI3K/Akt pathway.
