The mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis of long-term renal damage induced by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) are not clear. The present study was designed to investigate the role of nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) signal pathway in the pathogenesis of chronic shock wave-induced renal damage in rat model. Materials and methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to ESWL under the guidance of X-rays. On days 1, 3, 7, 35, and 105 postexposures to shock wave, the animals were killed to examine the changes in renal histology and functions, and NF kappa B activity. The expression of NF kappa B-dependent fibrogenic genes was also analyzed. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a specific NF kappa B inhibitor, was used to further investigate the involvement of NF kappa B.The applied shock wave caused a transient decline in renal function and induced chronic morphological changes such as tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis. NF kappa B was significantly activated in renal cortex. PDTC had little or no effects on the shock-wave-induced transient renal damage, but attenuated the long-term renal lesions associated with NF kappa B activation. In addition, the shock wave exposure also up-regulated the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), which was also blocked by PDTC.NF kappa B plays an important role in the progression of shock-wave- induced long-term renal damage in rat model.
