Аннотация:Neonatal kidney injury is a frequent pathology, especially among premature infants. The search for effective nephroprotection requires the creation of adequate experimental models of nephropathy in newborns. In this study, we explored the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonatal rats during hypoxia or administration of endotoxin. We found that 2-h hypoxia (8% O2) and the intraperitoneal injection of 4 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes the appearance of AKI markers, such as КIM-1 and NGAL in the rat urine after 24 and 72 h of exposure. On the other hand, the levels of blood urine nitrogen under the same conditions rises only slightly. The damaging effects of hypoxia and endotoxin were accompanied by histological changes in the renal tissue and a significant decrease of the proliferation marker, (PCNA). It is revealed that 3 h after the introduction of LPS, levels of ROS in the kidney were significantly increased, and the injection of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine afforded protection from AKI, evaluated by urine КIM-1 and NGAL levels. Thus, the simulation of AKI in newborn rat pups can be employed in screening for potential nephroprotective drugs, particularly among antioxidative compounds to be used in neonatology
