Abstract: Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of Adenosine phosphate activating protease (AMPK) signaling pathway in the development of acute kidney injury in mice. Method 48 SPF BALB/C male mice were randomly divided into two groups:control group(n=24) and experimental group(n=24). The experimental group were treated with adefovir dipivoxil 40 mg/kg,once a week for 2 times,while the control group were treated with equal amount of isotonic saline. Serum urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(SCr) were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The expression of AMPK and Keap-1 in renal tissue were detected by Western blotting,and histopathological scores were also obtained. Results After 2 weeks,4 weeks,and 6 weeks of treatment,serum BUN and SCr values in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),the histopathological scores of the kidneys in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05),and the relative expression levels of AMPK and Keap-1 protein in the kidneys of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acute kidney injury in mice can activate the AMPK signaling pathway and induce the expression of AMPK and Keap-1 increase,which leads to the deterioration of renal tissue and renal function.
