Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often follows acute kidney injury, leading to renal fibrosis and progressive renal failure. Spermine, a polyamine with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helps reduce renal fibrosis and may serve as a biomarker for CKD progression. We used spatially resolved metabonomic analysis with AFADESI-MSI to examine polyamine distribution in kidneys of a folic acid (FA)-induced CKD mouse model. Results showed decreased spermine and increased spermidine levels, associated with elevated spermine oxidase (SMOX) and spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) enzyme expression in CKD. These findings suggest that altered polyamine metabolism contributes to CKD progression and may provide targets for polyamine-based therapies.
期刊介绍：
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
