PG - 611-621 LID - S0014-2999(16)30643-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.10.002 [doi] AB - Bergenin, isolated from Bergenia ligulata is a potent antioxidant and antilithiatic agent. Present work was designed to establish the biochemical role of bergenin on mitochondrial dysfunction in the ethylene glycol induced hyperoxaluric rat model. Bergenin was administrated at a dose of 10mg/kg body wt i.p. from 14th day of establishing the 28 days hyperoxaluria rat model. alpha-Tocopherol was given as positive control at a dose of 100mg/kg body wt i.p. Mitochondrial dysfunction was studied by evaluating the activities of respiratory chain complexes, mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species. Histopathological analysis of the kidney tissue was done after Pizzolato staining. Also, expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein -1(MCP-1) and kidney injury marker protein (KIM-1) were studied and the levels of IL-1beta were evaluated in kidney tissue homogenate. Mitochondrial dysfunction during stone crystallization was evident by decreased activities of electron transport chain complexes I, II and IV and augmented mitochondrial oxidative stress in hyperoxaluric rats. Bergenin treatment significantly (P<0.05) restored the activities of these complexes. Moreover, it curtailed the lipid peroxidation and up regulated antioxidant levels, ameliorating the state of mitochondrial dysfunction. The protective role of bergenin was also reinforced by reducing IL-1beta production and expression of KIM-1 and MCP-1 in the renal tissue. The findings of the present study provide evidence that bergenin exerted protective effects in hyperoxaluria through mitochondrial protection that involves attenuation of oxidative stress. Hence, it presented itself as an effective remedy in combating urolithiasis. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
