Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem. Tubular epithelial cell injury plays a vital role in the progression and prognosis of CKD. Therapies to protect tubular cells is the key to delaying CKD progression. Our study found that verbena, a natural traditional Chinese herb, has a potential reno-protective role in kidney diseases. However, the detailed mechanism remains unknown. In the current study, we employed adriamycin (ADR)-induced renal tubular cell injury to mimic the conditions of tubular injury in vitro. Results showed that total aqueous exact of verbena (TAEV) ameliorated ADR-induced cell disruption, loss of cellular viability, and Apoptosis via inhibition of ROS-ERK1/2-mediated activation of NLRP3 signal pathway, suggesting that TAEV serves as a promising renoprotective agent in delaying the progression of CKD, while ROS-ERK1/2-mediated NLRP3 signal pathway might be a novel target in treating kidney diseases.
