P0700FLAVONOID FISETIN ALLEVIETES RENAL DYSFUNCTION IN A SEVERE MOUSE MODEL OF HYPERURECEMIC NEPHROPATHY


 
 
 Flavonoid Fisetin is a natural product that has a wide distribution in many fruits and vegetables and exerts anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-mitotic effects. The renal protective effects of fisetin have been confirmed in models of diabetic nephropathy, cisplatin-induced AKI, ischemia reperfusion kidney injury and lupus nephritis. The current study instigates the protective effect of fisetin in a severe mouse model of hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN) and explores its underlying mechanisms.
 
 
 
 Twenty-four C57BL6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control, Model, Allopurinol and fisetin. HN was established by oral administration of mixture of adenine (160 mg/kg/d)/potassium oxonate (2400 mg/kg/d) every other day for 28 days. Fisetin (100 mg/kg/d) and allopurinol (10 mg/kg/d) was given by gavage simultaneously. At the end of the treatment, serum uric acid, kidney functions (serum creatinine and BUN) kidney pathological changes, as well as underlying mechanisms were investigated by biochemical assay, histopathological score, RT-PCR, and western blotting analysis.
 
 
 
 Oral administration of fisetin to HN mice lowered serum uric acid and improved renal functions. Renal fibrosis and inflammation in HN mice were attenuated by fisetin treatment. fisetin alleviated extracellular matrix deposition and reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and in the kidneys of HN mice. Furthermore, fisetin inhibited the activation of TGF-β and STAT3 signaling pathways in the kidneys of HN mice
 
 
 
 These data demonstrated that fiseitn exhibited renoprotective effect in a severe mouse model of hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN). Fisetin exerted anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects in HN mice, which might be associated with its inhibition on TGF-β /Smad3 and STAT3 pathways.
