The efficacy of antioxidants administered during low temperature storage of warm ischemic kidney tissue slices.
Accumulation of products of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, conjugated dienes, lipid peroxides, and Schiff bases) was evaluated in rabbit kidney cortex slices made ischemic for 60 min followed by 18 h storage at 5 degrees C in UW Na gluconate solution and 210 min normothermic reoxygenated incubation. In addition, the effect of adding Trolox (1 mM), deferoxamine (1 mM), and ascorbate (1 mM) as supplemental antioxidants to the UW gluconate solution was evaluated. Lipid peroxidation was slightly increased after hypothermic storage compared to slices subjected to ischemia alone but was not significantly different than ischemic slices during subsequent incubation at normothermia. The addition of either deferoxamine or Trolox to the storage solution substantially reduced lipid peroxidation both during hypothermic storage and subsequent to normothermic incubation. Ascorbate had a mild prooxidant effect as a sole additive to the UW gluconate solution but was clearly prooxidant when combined with either deferoxamine or Trolox. These results suggest that supplemental antioxidants added to the UW gluconate solution under conditions analogous to machine perfusion preservation have a potential role in reducing oxidative stress in kidney tissues harvested after warm ischemia and that hypothermia may be a valuable adjunct to resuscitative therapeutic regimens developed for salvage of ischemic kidneys for transplantation.
