| Abstract | Heme proteins, the stuff of life, represent an ingenious biologic strategy that capitalizes on the biochemical versatility of heme, and yet is one that avoids the inherent risks to cellular vitality posed by unfettered and promiscuously reactive heme. Heme proteins, however, may be a double-edged sword because they can damage the kidney in certain settings. Although such injury is often viewed mainly within the context of rhabdomyolysis and the nephrotoxicity of myoglobin, an increasing literature now attests to the fact that involvement of heme proteins in renal injury ranges well beyond the confines of this single disease (and its analog, hemolysis); indeed, through the release of the defining heme motif, destabilization of intracellular heme proteins may be a common pathway for acute kidney injury, in general, and irrespective of the underlying insult. This brief review outlines current understanding regarding processes underlying such heme protein-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Topics covered include, among others, the basis for renal injury after the exposure of the kidney to and its incorporation of myoglobin and hemoglobin; auto-oxidation of myoglobin and hemoglobin; destabilization of heme proteins and the release of heme; heme/iron/oxidant pathways of renal injury; generation of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by NOX, iNOS, and myeloperoxidase; and the role of circulating cell-free hemoglobin in AKI and CKD. Also covered are the characteristics of the kidney that render this organ uniquely vulnerable to injury after myolysis and hemolysis, and pathobiologic effects emanating from free, labile heme. Mechanisms that defend against the toxicity of heme proteins are discussed, and the review concludes by outlining the therapeutic strategies that have arisen from current understanding of mechanisms of renal injury caused by heme proteins and how such mechanisms may be interrupted. |
