We investigated whether Cosupplementation with synthetic tetra-tert-butyl bisphenol (BP) and vitamin C (Vit C) ameliorated oxidative stress and acute kidney injury (AKI) in an animal model of acute rhabdomyolysis (RM). Rats were divided into groups: Sham and Control (normal chow), and BP (receiving 0.12% w/w BP in the diet; 4weeks) with or without Vit C (100mg/kg ascorbate in PBS ip at 72, 48, and 24h before RM induction). All animals (except the Sham) were treated with 50% v/v glycerol/PBS (6mL/kg injected into the hind leg) to induce RM. After 24h, urine, plasma, kidneys, and aortae were harvested. lipid oxidation (assessed as cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides and hydroxides and F(2)-isoprostanes accumulation) increased in the kidney and plasma and this was coupled with decreased aortic levels of cyclic guanylylmonophosphate (cGMP). In renal tissues, RM stimulated glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-4, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1/2 and nuclear factor kappa-beta (NFκβ) gene expression and promoted AKI as judged by formation of tubular casts, damaged epithelia, and increased urinary levels of total protein, kidney-injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and clusterin. Supplementation with BP±Vit C inhibited the two indices of lipid oxidation, down-regulated GPx-4, SOD1/2, and NF-κβ gene responses and restored aortic cGMP, yet renal dysfunction and altered kidney morphology persisted. By contrast, supplementation with Vit C alone inhibited oxidative stress and diminished cast formation and proteinuria, while other plasma and urinary markers of AKI remained elevated. These data indicate that lipid- and water-soluble antioxidants may differ in terms of their therapeutic impact on RM-induced renal dysfunction.
