Abstract

This study was undertaken to examine the possible role of the DNA‐binding activity of nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) in rat of radiocontrast‐media‐induced nephropathy (RCIN) and to explore the characteristic of RCIN in rats and the role of NF‐κB in its occurrence. Forty‐eight adult male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into Groups A–D. Rats of Groups A and B were intravenously injected with NG‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME) (10 mg/kg) and indomethacin (10 mg/kg), respectively. Rats of Groups C and D were intravenously injected with 1‐M phosphate buffer (PH = 8.4 3 mL/kg) and normal saline (NS 2 mL/kg), respectively. After 30 min, Groups A and D were injected with NS (8 mL/kg) and Groups B and C were injected with diatrizoate (DTZ 8 mL/kg). After injected contrast media (CM) for 6 h, the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen of rat in Group B increased sharply as compared with Groups A, C, and D. After 48 h, the data recovered to 49.28 ± 8.81 μmol/L and 6.72 ± 2.75 mmol/L, respectively. Vacuolization of the tubule epithelial cells of the kidney was observed in Group A. Especially, these pathological changes were most obvious in outer medulla. Contrast to group A, the DNA‐binding activity of NF‐κB in rat kidney of Group B reached a peak at the 6th h and recovered to the normal level after the 48th h. CM mainly damages renal tubular–interstitial, which appears the earliest and most serious in the outer medulla. Activation of NF‐κB of renal may be one of the mechanisms of RCIN occurrence. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
