RESUMO
In the acute kidney injury, the mechanisms of defense act as protector genes, as the protein heat shock 32 (HSP 32), also known as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). The polymyxin B (PmxB) is a nephrotoxic antimicrobial. The aim of this study was to distinguish the role of the HO-1 enzyme in the PmxB toxicity in LLC-PK1 cells. The cells were submitted to the following treatments: Control (CTL- 0µM); Hemin (inhibitor of HO-1, 25µM); Hemin II (250M), Zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP - inhibitor of HO-1, 10M,); NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME - inhibitor of iNOS, 0,1mM); PmxB (375µM); PmxB + Hemin (25µM of Hemin one hour before the PmxB); PmxB + ZnPP (10M of ZnPP one hour before the PmxB); PmxB + Hemin + L-NAME (25M of Hemin and 0,1mM of L-NAME one hour before the PmxB). All groups were evaluated in 24 and 72 hours. The following parameters were analysed: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lipid peroxidation (MDA), genic expression of HO-1 by RT-PCR, protein syntesis of HO-1 by immunofluorescence, nitric oxide (NO) by Griess method and protein expression of HO-1 and of iNOS by western blotting. The results showed that PmxB increased the LDH and the levels of MDA. Hemin and ZnPP also increased the LDH variables, MDA and nitric oxide (NO). The inducer of HO-1 improved the protein expression of HO-1 and of iNOS. The PmxB was confirmed as a cytotoxic and the HO-1 intensified the failure by oxidative mechanisms. The effect of HO-1 in the cell injury seemed to be mediated by NO
