Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in the cell and the preferential target of various toxicants and ischemic injury. Renal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury triggers proximal tubule injury and the mitochondria are believed to be the primary subcellular target of I/R injury. The promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis (MB) is critical for the prevention I/R injury. The results of our previous...
Autophagy may have protective effects in renal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR), a widely distributed multifunctional protein that is originally identified as a hepatic growth factor, may participate in the process of autophagy. To investigate the role of ALR in autophagy, ALR expression is knocked-down in human...
Oxidative stress plays an important role in cellular destruction. Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is an anti-apoptotic factor that is expressed in all mammalian cells and functions as an anti-oxidant by stimulating the expression of a secretory isoform of clusterin and inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Previous work from our group showed that ALR expression is upregulated...
