Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the diabetic kidney is more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and identify the potential mechanisms involved. An animal model of type 1 diabetes was created by treating rats with streptozotocin (STZ). This model was then used, along with healthy controls, to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on renal I/R injury. After 45 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion, kidney and serum samples were acquired and used to evaluate function and histopathological injury in the kidneys. Western blotting was also used to determine the expression levels of key proteins. Rats experiencing renal I/R exhibited significant characteristics of renal dysfunction, reduced levels of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein (a key signaling protein in the kidneys), increased endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and pyroptosis. Furthermore, diabetic rats exhibited further reductions in the levels of SIRT1 in response to renal I/R injury and an increase in the levels of ERS. These effects were all alleviated by the administration of a SIRT1 agonist. The present analysis revealed that the SIRT1‑mediated activation of ER stress and pyroptosis played a pivotal role in diabetic rats subjected to renal I/R injury. Downregulation of the SIRT1 signaling pathway were exacerbated in response to renal I/R injury‑induced acute kidney injury (AKI). The present data indicated that DM enhanced ER stress and increased pyroptosis by downregulating the SIRT1 signaling pathway.
