Kidney ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with a high mortality rate, which is attributed to tubular oxidative and nitrative stresses; however, an effective approach to limit IRI remains elusive. Spermidine, a naturally occurring polyamine, protects yeast cells against aging through the inhibition of oxidative stress and necrosis. In the present study, spermidine supplementation markedly attenuated histological damage and kidney dysfunction during IRI. In addition, exogenous spermidine potently inhibited poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) activation and DNA nitrative/oxidative stress following IRI. Conversely, inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) via siRNA transfection in vivo significantly enhanced DNA nitration, PARP1 activation, and functional damage during IRI. Finally, in ODC knockdown kidneys, PARP1 inhibition attenuated histological and functional damage induced by IRI, but not DNA nitrative stress. In conclusion, these data suggest that spermidine protects kidneys against IRI through blocking DNA nitration and PARP1 activation and this finding provides a novel target for prevention of acute kidney injury including IRI.
