Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury is a major clinical problem without effective therapy. We recently reported that volatile anesthetics protect against renal IR injury in part via their anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and anti-necrotic effects of sevoflurane in cultured kidney proximal tubule cells and probed the mechanisms of sevoflurane-induced renal cellular protection. To mimic inflammation, human kidney proximal tubule (HK-2) cells were treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-{alpha}, 25 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of sevoflurane. In addition, we studied the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced necrotic cell death in HK-2 or porcine proximal tubule (LLC-PK1) cells. We demonstrate that sevoflurane suppressed pro-inflammatory effects of TNF- {alpha} evidenced by attenuated up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA (TNF-{alpha}, MCP-1) and ICAM-1 protein and reduced nuclear translocation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factors NF-{kappa}B and AP-1. Sevoflurane reduced necrotic cell death induced with H2O2 in HK-2 cells as well as in LLC-PK1 cells. Sevoflurane treatment resulted in phosphorylation of pro-survival kinases, ERK and Akt, and increased de novo HSP70 protein synthesis without affecting the synthesis of HSP27 or HSP32. We conclude that sevoflurane has direct anti-inflammatory and anti-necrotic effects in vitro in a renal cell type particularly sensitive to injury following IR injury. These mechanisms may in part account for volatile anesthetics' protective effects against renal IR injury.
