Purpose: Oxidative renal injury is the mainstay in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and it may eventuate to chronic renal failure. In our study, we investigated the potential of α2-adrenoreceptor agonist Dexmedetomidine (Dex) in ameliorating SCI provoked oxidative renal assault.Methods: Complete SCI was generated by surgical transaction of the cord at the T10–12 level. Dex administration (50 mcg/kg, b.wt, intraperitoneally) was initiated 12 h after the surgery for 10 days. Then, blood was collected and kidneys were removed to evaluate the efficacy of Dex on post-SCI renal complications.Results: Dex treatment significantly attenuated elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in SCI rats to normalcy. Further in SCI rats elevated level of MDA, protein carbonyl and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were observed and Dex treatment significantly attenuated these toxic manifestations to normalcy. Besides in SCI rats, the antioxidants (SOD, CAT, Gpx and GST and GSH) levels were significantly diminished and Dex treated rats significantly restored the antioxidants level in renal tissue to normalcy. Notably, in our study the protein expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and cleaved caspase-3 were upregulated in renal tissue of SCI rats. Fascinatingly, Dex treatment downregulated the protein expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and cleaved caspase-3 by anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic mechanism. Furthermore, SCI rats displayed upregulated protein expression of kidney of SCI rats. Dex treatment diminished the renal apoptosis by downregulating the cleaved caspase-3 expression.Conclusion: Taken together, these results accentuate that Dex may be a beneficial clinical agent to combat post-SCI renal complications.
