unassigned: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major public health problem worldwide. However, there is no definitive therapies to treat established AKI. In this study, we used FG-4592 to induce hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) expression in cells and then explored whether the extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by HIF-upregulated cells could alleviate ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced AKI.
unassigned: FG-4592/HK2-EVs and FG-4592/HEK293-EVs were prepared by treating HK2 or HEK293 cells with FG-4592 for 24 h, respectively. HK2 cells under hypoxia were treated with FG-4592/HK2-EVs or FG-4592/HEK293-EVs to observe the therapeutic effect of EVs on H/R-induced apoptosis and inflammation. Mice were treated with F... More

unassigned: FG-4592/HK2-EVs and FG-4592/HEK293-EVs were prepared by treating HK2 or HEK293 cells with FG-4592 for 24 h, respectively. HK2 cells under hypoxia were treated with FG-4592/HK2-EVs or FG-4592/HEK293-EVs to observe the therapeutic effect of EVs on H/R-induced apoptosis and inflammation. Mice were treated with FG-4592/HEK293-EVs after IRI to observe whether FG-4592/HEK293-EVs treatment could alleviate ischemic AKI.
unassigned: The expression of HIF was induced by FG-4592 in a dose-dependent manner in HK2 and HEK293 cells under normoxia. In vitro, FG-4592/HK2-EVs and FG-4592/HEK293-EVs inhibited apoptosis and inflammation induced by H/R. In vivo, treatment with FG-4592/HEK293-EVs significantly ameliorated renal tubular injury and inflammation caused by IRI. In addition, the expression of HIF-1α in cells and kidneys was significantly downregulated by FG-4592/HK2-EVs and FG-4592/HEK293-EVs treatment.
unassigned: This study demonstrated that EVs derived from HK2 or HEK293 cells after FG-4592 treatment could alleviate renal tubular injury and inflammation, suggesting a novel therapeutic role of FG-4592/EVs in the treatment of AKI.
