Although the efficacy of molecular hydrogen (H<sub>2<\/sub>) in IRI has been reported, oral intake of H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich water and inhalation of H<sub>2<\/sub> gas are still not widely used in clinical settings because of the lack of efficiency and difficulty in handling. We successfully generated large quantities of H<sub>2<\/sub> molecules by crushing silicon (Si) to nano-sized Si particles (nano-Si) which were allowed to react with water. The nano-Si or relatively large-sized Si particles (large-Si) were orally administered to rats with renal IRI. Animals were divided into four groups: sham, IRI, IRI + nano-Si, and IRI + large-Si. The levels of serum creatinine and urine protein were significantly decreased 72 h following IRI in rats that were administered nano-Si. The levels of oxidative stress marker, urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were also significantly decreased with the nano-Si treatment. Transcriptome and gene ontology enrichment analyses showed that the oral nano-Si intake downregulated the biological processes related to oxidative stress, such as immune response, cytokine production, and extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Alterations in the regulation of a subset of genes in the altered pathways were validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the nano-Si treatment alleviated interstitial macrophage infiltration and tubular apoptosis, implicating the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of nano-Si. In conclusion, renal IRI was attenuated by the oral administration of nano-Si, which should be considered as a novel H<sub>2<\/sub> administration method.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sec\"><strong class=\"kwd-title\">Keywords: <\/strong><span class=\"kwd-text\">silicon, ischemia reperfusion injury, hydrogen, oxidative stress, kidney, rat<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"s1\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"s1title\">Introduction<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which is unavoidable in organ transplantation, is severely detrimental to renal graft function and survival. Prolonged time of cold ischemia during renal transplantation is associated with delayed graft function and decreased long-term graft survival (<a href=\"#B1\" rid=\"B1\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"#B2\" rid=\"B2\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">2<\/a>). One of the major events in ischemia reperfusion is the generation of cytotoxic oxygen radicals (<a href=\"#B3\" rid=\"B3\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">3<\/a>), increases in which lead to cellular injury by inducing DNA damage, protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis (<a href=\"#B4\" rid=\"B4\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">4<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Since the discovery of the selective antioxidant properties of molecular hydrogen (H<sub>2<\/sub>) in 2007, multiple studies have shown its beneficial effects in diverse animal oxidative stress models <em>in vivo<\/em> (<a href=\"#B5\" rid=\"B5\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">5<\/a>\u2013<a href=\"#B7\" rid=\"B7\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">7<\/a>). H<sub>2<\/sub> treatment has been shown to abrogate ischemia-reperfusion following warm and cold ischemia and has been identified as a potential therapy in improving kidney transplantation outcomes (<a href=\"#B8\" rid=\"B8\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">8<\/a>). Studies have explored several delivery systems for H<sub>2<\/sub> administration, including inhalation, oral intake of H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich water, injection of H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich saline, and direct incorporation (<a href=\"#B9\" rid=\"B9\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">9<\/a>). Nevertheless, to our knowledge, these methods are not widely used in clinical settings because of the lack of efficacy and difficulty in handling.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently reported that nano-sized silicon (Si) particles (nano-Si) react with water in the pH range between 7.0 and 8.6, generating a large amount of H<sub>2<\/sub> (<a href=\"#B10\" rid=\"B10\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">10<\/a>). We have found that the H<sub>2<\/sub> generation rate strongly depended on the crystallite size of particles and pH of the water reacting with Si. In water with a pH of 8.0, nano-Si with a median diameter of 9.6 nm could generate up to 55 mL\/g H<sub>2<\/sub> within 1 h, which corresponds to that contained in ~3 L saturated H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich water. Si and its oxide are non-poisonous materials and are therefore considered as appropriate for medical applications (<a href=\"#B11\" rid=\"B11\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">11<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p p-last\">We hypothesized that oral administration of a diet containing nano-Si would react with water in the intestinal tract where alkaline pancreatic juices are secreted, thereby leading to the generation of H<sub>2<\/sub> and suppression of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, in the current study we investigated the potential of nano-Si in mitigating IRI <em>in vivo<\/em> and reducing oxidative stress and related biological processes. To that end, we administered a diet containing nano-Si or larger-sized Si particles (large-Si) with a minimum diameter of 1 \u03bcm in rats with renal IRI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"s2\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"s2title\">Materials and Methods<\/h2>\n<div id=\"sec-a.j.b.b\" class=\"sec sec-first\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.j.b.btitle\">Animals<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">All experiments were performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 170\u2013190 g that were purchased from SLC Japan (Shizuoka, Japan) and maintained at the Institute of Experimental Animal Sciences of Osaka University Medical School. All animal studies were approved by the Osaka University Animal Research Committee and according to relevant regulatory standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec-a.j.b.c\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.j.b.ctitle\">Si Particles Containing Feed<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">As normal diet, we used AIN93M (Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

Before animal experiments, we examined the hydrogen production from the agent containing 1.0 wt.% nano-Si particles and water using a sensor gas chromatograph, SGHA-P2-A (FIS Inc., Hyogo, Japan).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec-a.j.b.d\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.j.b.dtitle\">Experimental Protocol<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">Experimental groups (<em>n<\/em> = 6 per group) were as follows: (i) sham operation (sham group), (ii) normal diet with IRI (IRI group), (iii) nano-Si-based agent diet with IRI (IRI + nano-Si group), and (iv) large-Si-based agent diet with IRI (IRI + large-Si group). The animals in the sham and IRI groups were fed a normal diet. The animals in the IRI + nano-Si and IRI + large-Si groups were fed a Si-based agent containing 1.0% nano-Si and large-Si in a diet, respectively. The Si-based agent was initiated at 6 weeks of age. Renal IRI or sham surgery was performed at 7 weeks of age, as previously described (<a href=\"#B12\" rid=\"B12\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">12<\/a>). Briefly, rats were anesthetized with isoflurane and placed on a heating pad to maintain body temperature during surgery. A midline abdominal incision was made, and left renal pedicles were isolated and clamped for 60 min. Complete reperfusion was visually confirmed after the clamp removal. After reperfusion of the left kidney, right nephrectomy was performed and the surgical wound was sutured. Sham surgery was performed in an identical fashion with the exception of renal pedicle clamping. The rats were euthanized 72 h after reperfusion, and blood, urine, and kidney samples were obtained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec-a.j.b.e\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.j.b.etitle\">Measurement of H<sub>2<\/sub> Concentration Diffused From Whole Blood Samples<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">After 1-week administration of the normal diet or the diet containing 1.0% nano-Si or large-Si, 200 \u03bcL whole blood samples were immediately collected into 20-mL glass tubes. The glass tubes were filled with fresh air before putting the samples, and the tops were covered using screw tops with attached silicon caps. Next, the tubes with the samples were placed for 30 min at room temperature, and 2 mL gas (vapor) were aspirated from the tube and injected into a sensor gas chromatography device, SGHA-P2-A.

Histological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and assessed by a transplant pathologist blinded to the conditions. Tubular damage was graded based on the following scale ranging from 0 to 5 by estimating the percentage of tubules in the corticomedullary junction showing epithelial necrosis, loss of nuclei, or cast formation: 0, none; 1, &lt;10%; 2, 10\u201325%; 3, 26\u201350%; 4, 51\u201375%; and 5, &gt;75%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"sec-a.j.b.g\" class=\"sec\">\n<h3 id=\"sec-a.j.b.gtitle\">Measurement of Oxidative Damage<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">8-hydroxy-2\u2032-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a product of oxidative DNA damage, is widely used as a marker of oxidative stress. We measured urinary 8-OHdG levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Japan Institute for the Control of Aging, Shizuoka, Japan). A monoclonal antibody against 8-OHdG and urine samples or standards were added to microtiter plates precoated with 8-OHdG. An enzyme-labeled secondary antibody was then added to the plates and allowed to bind to the monoclonal 8-OHdG antibody on the coated plates. The unbound enzyme-labeled secondary antibody fraction was removed by washing, and a chromatic substrate was added for color development. The color reaction was terminated, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured by a microplate reader. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is used as an indicator of free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation. We measured serum malondialdehyde levels using the OxiSelect TBARS assay kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA). Briefly, 100 mL of serum samples or a solution with a known MDA concentration were mixed with 100 mL SDS lysis solution and 250 mL thiobarbituric acid solution and heated at 95\u00b0C in a water bath for 1 h. After cooling, the samples were centrifuged to collect the supernatants, which were mixed with n-butanol followed by centrifugation.

Studies on the role of H<sub>2<\/sub> in biology and medicine have been rapidly expanding since the first report of Ohsawa et al. (<a href=\"#B5\" rid=\"B5\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">5<\/a>) demonstrating that H<sub>2<\/sub> gas displays antioxidant properties that can protect the brain against IRI by selectively neutralizing hydroxyl radicals. Several delivery systems for H<sub>2<\/sub> administration that have been explored include inhalation using a ventilator circuit, facemask, or nasal cannula, which has been reported to reduce IRI in the brain (<a href=\"#B13\" rid=\"B13\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">13<\/a>), heart (<a href=\"#B14\" rid=\"B14\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">14<\/a>), lungs (<a href=\"#B15\" rid=\"B15\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">15<\/a>), liver (<a href=\"#B16\" rid=\"B16\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">16<\/a>), skin (<a href=\"#B17\" rid=\"B17\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">17<\/a>), and intestines (<a href=\"#B6\" rid=\"B6\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">6<\/a>). Although inhaled H<sub>2<\/sub> gas may act rapidly, this method might be impractical in daily clinical use or unsuitable for continuous consumption for preventive use, because of the difficulty in handling high-pressure H<sub>2<\/sub> gas.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, oral intake of solubilized H<sub>2<\/sub> in H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich water is easy to use as a portable and safe method of delivering molecular H<sub>2<\/sub> (<a href=\"#B18\" rid=\"B18\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">18<\/a>). However, H<sub>2<\/sub> in water evaporates over time, and H<sub>2<\/sub> might be lost before reaching the stomach or the intestines (<a href=\"#B9\" rid=\"B9\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">9<\/a>). Administration of H<sub>2<\/sub> via injectable H<sub>2<\/sub>-rich saline can potentially deliver more precise H<sub>2<\/sub> concentrations and has been demonstrated to attenuate IRI in brain in neonates (<a href=\"#B19\" rid=\"B19\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">19<\/a>), heart (<a href=\"#B20\" rid=\"B20\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">20<\/a>), lungs (<a href=\"#B21\" rid=\"B21\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">21<\/a>), liver (<a href=\"#B22\" rid=\"B22\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">22<\/a>), intestines (<a href=\"#B23\" rid=\"B23\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">23<\/a>, <a href=\"#B24\" rid=\"B24\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">24<\/a>), and kidneys (<a href=\"#B25\" rid=\"B25\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">25<\/a>) in animal models of oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the amount of H<sub>2<\/sub> dissolved in solutions is limited: up to 0.8 mM (1.6 mg\/L) H<sub>2<\/sub> can be dissolved in water under atmospheric pressure at room temperature (<a href=\"#B26\" rid=\"B26\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">26<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>We have developed a new strategy to successfully generate large amounts of H<sub>2<\/sub> molecules by crushing Si to nano-sized particles and allowing these nanoparticles to react with alkaline water. Si is not an essential nutrient for mammals, and the underlying biological function remains unclear; however, oral Si supplementation for mammals is reportedly harmless (<a href=\"#B11\" rid=\"B11\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">11<\/a>). We therefore evaluated the efficacy of nano-Si administration in an <em>in vivo<\/em> model of acute renal IRI. Our serological, urinary, and histological analyses showed the deterioration of renal function and damage to tubular epithelial cells following ischemia-reperfusion surgery. In contrast, the administration of nano-Si-containing diet significantly reduced these changes. This benefit of nano-Si is considered to be due to the generation of H<sub>2<\/sub> reacting with alkaline water such as that found in intestinal fluids <em>in vivo<\/em>. In support of this hypothesis, the diet containing relatively larger Si particles with poor H<sub>2<\/sub> generation efficiency, which was administered following ischemia-reperfusion surgery using the same dosing schedule, did not lead to a similar effect.<\/p>\n<p>Given that H<sub>2<\/sub> molecules can mitigate IRI by selectively removing reactive oxygen species that lead to oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins, we evaluated oxidative stress by monitoring urinary 8-OHdG and serum malondialdehyde levels. 8-OHdG and malondialdehyde, which are peroxidation products of DNA and lipids, respectively, are widely used as oxidative stress markers (<a href=\"#B27\" rid=\"B27\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">27<\/a>\u2013<a href=\"#B29\" rid=\"B29\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">29<\/a>). The treatment with nano-Si led to a reduction in the increased urinary 8-OHdG levels due to IRI. Conversely, albeit not reaching statistical significance, we also found that there was a difference in the serum malondialdehyde levels between the IRI and IRI + nano-Si groups.<\/p>\n<p>H<sub>2<\/sub> has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects by suppressing oxidative stress (<a href=\"#B30\" rid=\"B30\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">30<\/a>). In fact, specific pathways and modulators underlying these effects have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrated that the nano-Si treatment inhibited the infiltration of macrophages into the tubulointerstitium and the upregulated expression of inflammation-related genes such as <em>Il6<\/em> and <em>Ccl2<\/em> in renal tissue. Macrophages are critical early initiators of innate immunity with important roles in inflammation following ischemia-reperfusion (<a href=\"#B31\" rid=\"B31\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">31<\/a>, <a href=\"#B32\" rid=\"B32\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">32<\/a>). Additionally, activated endothelial cells and tubular epithelial cells produce cytokines and chemokines that induce inflammatory cell infiltration. We also demonstrated that the administration of the nano-Si reduced apoptosis in tubular epithelial cells after the induction of ischemia by hypoxia using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay to detect early apoptosis based on the presence of DNA fragmentation (<a href=\"#B33\" rid=\"B33\" class=\" bibr popnode\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">33<\/a>). Overall, these results suggest that the reduction in oxidative stress leads to anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects by regulating the expression levels of various genes. The proteins encoded by these genes, which may not be primary responders to H<sub>2<\/sub>, might indirectly act to enable the various beneficial effects of nano-Si.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p p-last\">In conclusion, we demonstrated that the nano-Si treatment protected IRI rat kidneys, at least partially, via the reduction in oxidative stress through oral intake of nano-Si. To our knowledge, these findings are the first evidence for the protective effect with nano-Si in renal IRI. Given our results, the clinical use of nano-Si in kidney allograft donors prior to kidney transplantation should be considered as a means to improve kidney allograft outcomes. Thus, further investigation is needed to establish the feasibility and efficacy of using nano-Si in this way in the clinical setting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"s5\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"s5title\">Data Availability Statement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">The datasets generated for this study can be found on ArrayExpress, accession number E-MTAB-8687.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"s6\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"s6title\">Ethics Statement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first-last\">The animal study was reviewed and approved by Osaka University Animal Research Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"s7\" class=\"tsec sec\">\n<div class=\"goto jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-container\"><a class=\"tgt_dark page-toc-label jig-ncbiinpagenav-goto-heading\" href=\"#\" title=\"Go to other sections in this page\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\">Go to:<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"head no_bottom_margin ui-helper-clearfix\" id=\"s7title\">Author Contributions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p p-first\">MK and RI designed, performed, and interpreted all the experiments.
