1 METHODS: Mouse models of ischemic ARF were treated with the specific ICE inhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK. ac-yvad chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 Mus musculus
2 A renal function assay and renal morphological studies were employed to estimate the renal protective effect of AC-YVAD-CMK. ac-yvad chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 Mus musculus
3 AC-YVAD-CMK therapy alleviated the clinical features of ARF, and increased the survival rate (P<0.01). ac-yvad chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 Mus musculus
4 Furthermore, AC-YVAD-CMK therapy also decreased ICE activity, mature IL-18 protein expression, and IFN-gamma mRNA expression in renal tissue (P<0.05). ac-yvad chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 Mus musculus
5 CONCLUSION: The selective ICE inhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK can effectively protect the kidney from acute ischemic lesions. ac-yvad chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 Mus musculus
