Objective To investigate whether p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) participates in regulating the acute kidney injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Methods Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into the Chow and HFD groups, and fed with regular chow or HFD for 12 weeks, respectively. Subsequently, the animals were further divided into the control and LPS groups. Mice in the LPS group were injected with LPS 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally to establish the mouse models of acute kidney injury, whereas an equivalent amount of PBS was administered in the control group. The expression levels of serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, PUMA protein and Caspase-3 protein were detected and the pathological kidney injury and apoptosis were observed 24 h later. Results Compared with the Chow group, mice in the HFD group had significantly higher body weight (P < 0.05), elevated random blood glucose (P < 0.05) and insulin resistance. Compared with the control group, the serum levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen of mice in the LPS group were significantly increased (both P < 0.05), and presented with obvious pathological damages, such as morphological abnormality of renal epithelial cells, epithelial cell necrosis and inflammatory infiltration. Meanwhile, in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase revealed a large quantity of apoptotic cells and higher PUMA protein and Caspase-3 protein levels were observed in the renal tissues of mice in the LPS group (both P < 0.05). Compared with the Chow+LPS group, the findings above in the HFD + LPS group were more pronounced (all P < 0.05). Conclusion HFD can aggravate LPS-induced acute kidney injury and apoptosis probably by up-regulating the expression level of PUMA.
