Abstract: Kidneys from deceased donors used for transplantation are placed in cold storage (CS) solution during the search for a matched recipient. However, CS causes mitochondrial injury, which may exacerbate renal graft dysfunction. Here, we explored whether adding NS11021, an activator of the mitochondrial big-conductance calcium-activated K+ (mitoBK) channel, to CS solution can mitigate CS-induced mitochondrial injury. We used normal rat kidney proximal tubular epithelial (NRK) cells as an in vitro model of renal cold storage (18 h) and rewarming (2 h) (CS + RW). Western blots detected the pore-forming ฮฑ subunit of the BK channel in mitochondrial fractions from NRK cells. The fluorescent K+-binding probe, PBFI-AM, revealed that isolated mitochondria from NRK cells exhibited mitoBK-mediated K+ uptake, which was impaired ~70% in NRK cells subjected to CS + RW compared to control NRK cells maintained at 37 ยฐC. Importantly, the addition of 1 M NS11021 to CS solution prevented CS + RW-induced impairment of mitoBK-mediated K+ uptake. The NS11021-treated NRK cells also exhibited less cell death and mitochondrial injury after CS + RW, including mitigated mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, depolarization, and superoxide production. In summary, these new data show for the first time that mitoBK channels may represent a therapeutic target to prevent renal CS-induced injury. โ€ข Keywords: NS11021, Cold storage, Kidney, MitoBK channel, Mitochondria, Oxidative stress, Respiration, Transplantation โ€ข Bioblast editor: Plangger M โ€ข O2k-Network Lab: US AR Little Rock MacMillan-Crow LA
