Inflammation facilitates kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Endothelial cells (ECs) that were modified to overexpress (C-X-C motif) chemokine receptor (CXCR)1/2 (CXCR1/2-ECs) were injected immediately following kidney I/R injury. The interaction of CXCR1/2-ECs, but not ECs transduced with an empty adenoviral vector, with injured kidney tissue preserved kidney function and reduced production of inflammatory markers, capillary rarefaction, and interstitial fibrosis. The study highlights a functional role for the C-X-C chemokine pathway in kidney damage following I/R injury.
