Özet
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous human recombinant interleukin-10 (rhIL-10) on hypoxia-induced renal injury in immature rats.
Method: The study was performed on 1-day-old Sprague-Dawley rat pups. Group 1 (n = 8) served as non-hypoxic controls. Group 2 (untreated, n = 8) rats were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/O) and were then returned to their mothers. Group 3 (rhIL-10 treated, n = 8) rats were subjected to H/O, were returned to their mothers, and were treated with rhIL-10 (75 mu g/kg subcutaneously) for the next 3 days. All animals were killed on day 4 and renal specimens were obtained to determine the tissue level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and histological changes.
Results: In the untreated group, moderate or severe renal tubular necrosis was observed However, the tubular necrosis score was significantly less in the rhIL-10 treated rats than in the untreated rats (P < 0.05). In the untreated group, MDA levels were significantly increased compared with the control and rhIL-10 groups (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively). In the rhIL-10 treated group, MDA levels were not significantly different compared with the control group.
Conclusion: RhIL-10 has a protective effect against hypoxia-induced renal injury in immature rats by depression of tissue MDA level and renal tubular necrosis score.
