    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the effects of the exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated scavenger receptor A (SR-A) signaling pathway on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) by regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced autophagy in rats. METHODS: A total of 48 normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and SR-A knockout rats were selected and divided into six groups (n = 8): wild-type (WT) + sham, WT + ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), WT + I/R + NaHS, SR-A-/- + sham, SR-A-/- + I/R and SR-A-/- + I/R + NaHS. The concentrations of urinary protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCR), malondialdehyde (MDA) and H2S in renal tissue were detected. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of IL-6, TGF-β, SR-A, LC3I, LC3II, P62, PERK, ATF6 and IRE1 pathway-related genes. A TUNEL assay was used to detect cell apoptosis. Electron microscopy was applied to observe the structure of renal autophagosomes. RESULTS: Compared with the WT + sham group, in the rates of the WT + I/R group, the urine volume, urinary protein, BUN, SCR and MDA concentrations, the mRNA and protein expression of IL-6, TGF-β, LC3II/I, and ER stress pathway-related genes, the cell apoptosis index, and the number of autophagosomes were significantly increased 24 h after I/R, while P62 and SR-A protein expression and SOD and H2S concentrations were significantly decreased (all P < 0.05). The levels of renal injury, autophagy and ER stress pathway-related genes were decreased in the WT + I/R + NaHS group but were increased in the SR-A-/- + I/R group relative to the WT + I/R group. No significant differences were observed in the urine volume; the concentrations of urinary protein, BUN, SCR and MDA; the SOD activity; the mRNA and protein expression of IL-6, TGF-β, SR-A, GRP78, SR-A, GPR94, ATF4, IRE1, XBP1, ATF6, and eIF2α; the cell apoptosis index; or the number of autophagosomes in rats of the SR-A-/- + I/R and SR-A-/- + I/R + NaHS groups (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that the exogenous H2S-mediated SR-A signaling pathway reduces renal IRI injury by up-regulating ER stress-induced autophagy in rats.
