Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. Oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation play crucial roles in CIN. Rena-lase is a newly discovered monoamine oxidase from the kidney. We hypothesize that rena-lase could protect against CIN through anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis pathways. Methods We tested our hypothesis in vivo with a rat model of Ioversol-induced CIN and in vitro. Spra-gue-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 6 per group): control group, Ioversol group (rats subjected to Ioversol-induced CIN), Ioversol plus vehicle group (CIN rats pretreated with vehicle) and Ioversol plus renalase group (CIN rats pretreated with 2 mg/kg reco...
