Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the crucial factors affecting the outcome of renal transplantation. In recent years, myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) has received a lot of attention for its extensive beneficial effects on cardiac repair and protection of cardiomyocytes from cell death. Therefore, we hypothesized that the recombinant human MYDGF (rhMYDGF) protein might play an essential role in safeguarding renal I/R injury. In vivo experiments were conducted using a mouse unilateral I/R model. Mice were pretreated with rhMYDGF by intraperitoneal injection to study the potential mechanism of renal protection. In vitro, we established hypoxia/reoxygenation and H2O2 treatment models to pretreat cells with rhMYDGF. The expression levels of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis-related factors in tissues and cells were detected. Finally, we explored the role of the protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in the renal protective mechanism of rhMYDGF. In this study, we found that intraperitoneal injection of 1.25 μg rhMYDGF could significantly improve renal function of I/R mice, and reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. For the human proximal tubular epithelial cell line and human kidney cell line, pretreatment with 0.3 μg/mL rhMYDGF for 24 h significantly downregulated oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis via the phosphorylation of Akt, which could be ameliorated by LY294002. rhMYDGF protects kidney from I/R injury by attenuating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis through the activation of the Akt pathway.
