Among several types of AKI, Acute tubular necrosis caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is considered as the most common cause of AKI <sup>5<\/sup>. IRI contributes to pathological conditions of AKI using some pathological pathways such as hemodynamic changes, tubular epithelial injury, activation of neutrophils, the release of reactive oxygen species and other inflammatory mediators. In addition, adhesion molecules and a variety of cytokines are also involved <sup>6,7<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The balance between renal vasoconstrictor and vasodilator mediators has been implicated in IRI and its chronic complications. Nitrite oxide (NO) is a vasodilator produced by NO synthase (NOS). NO is known as a renoprotective factor against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury due to its anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and antioxidant properties <sup>8<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor in blood mechanism proven to be upregulated in renal tubules in IRI <sup>9<\/sup>. The vasoconstriction effect of ET-1 is mediated by ET<sub>A<\/sub>R <sup>10<\/sup>. Inhibition of the endothelin system and reducing ET-1 production is efficient in reducing the kidney damage caused by IRI. The lack of endothelium-derived ET-1 not only attenuated proximal tubular injury in response to IRI but also decreased inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Due to the difficulty of AKI therapy, it is necessary to take preventive action to prevent kidney damage due to IRI. One effort that can be done is to utilize natural ingredients that have been used as food ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celery is known that was contained carbohydrates, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, phenols, furocoumarins volatile oils sesquiterpene alcohols, fatty acids, and a wide range of trace elements <sup>11<\/sup>. Celery is known to prevent kidney damage due to IRI <sup>12<\/sup>. There has never been done a study on the time effect of celery ethanol extract administration on preventing mechanism renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study purposed to investigate the time effect of celery ethanol extract administration on inhibition of ET-1 and ET<sub>A<\/sub>R gene expression, NO, SOD, and TNF-\u03b1 level in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Materials and\nmethods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Experiment of Animal and the IRI model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experimental study was performed from July to September 2019 after obtaining Ethical clearance from the ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, Ref: 3052\/KEPK\/VII\/2019. Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats with a weight range of 190-210 g were selected for the study. The rats were divided into five groups with random assignment: a sham operation (SO) group, IRI group, IRI+S7 (the extract of celery 1000 mg\/kg BW 7 days orally followed by IRI), IRI+S14 (the extract of celery 1000 mg\/kg BW 14 days orally followed by IRI), IRI+S28 (the extract of celery 1000 mg\/kg BW 28 days orally followed by IRI). The IRI was performed to induce acute kidney injury. Following ketamine (100 mg\/kg BW) intramuscular injection, the abdomen then was opened to perform a clamping method on both renal pedicles, using a non-traumatic vascular clamp for 45 minutes. Then, both clamps were get off. We used silk surgical thread 3\/0 (OneMed\u00ae) for closing the site of incision. Sham-operated (SO) rats were subjected to a similar technique but no renal hilus clamping was performed. All groups were terminated on day 1 after surgery. The Rats were put in cages with\u00a0 natural light and dark cycles of 12:12 hours, temperature 25<sup>o<\/sup>C and humidity of 40%-60%. The rats were given standard feed and dringking water ad libitum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Collection of Samples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rats\nwere euthanized on day 1 after the operation using ketamine (100 mg\/kg BW) for\nanesthetized.

IRI is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Acute kidney injury assessed by kidney function. Serum creatinine levels were assessed to evaluate kidney function. In this study, the serum creatinine level in IRI groups higher than in the SO group. This study is in line with Arfian et al., (2012) that creatinine serum level in IRI higher than SO group. In this study, the administration of celery ethanol extracts 1000 mg\/kg BW for 7, 14, and 28 days before IRI prevents the increase of serum creatinine level. According to Afifah et al. (2019), celery ethanol extract has a protective effect on kidney damage in the IRI rat model.<sup>12<\/sup> The lowest serum creatinine level in this study is in 14 days before IRI induction. However, the administration of celery ethanol extract 1000 mg\/kg BW for 7, 14, and 28 days before induction prevents the increase of serum creatinine, the administration for 28 days showed serum creatinine level higher than 7 and 14 days. This phenomenon showed that giving celery ethanol extract 1000 mg\/kg BW for more than 28 days increase the creatinine serum level. It\u2019s a concern for us that giving celery ethanol extract for a long time can worsen renal function disturbance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The damage to the kidney caused by IRI fundamentally occur in two stages. The first is during ischemia, cell energy depletion is the main factor. The second is during reperfusion, the interactions occur between the oxidative and microcirculatory stress parallel with inflammation and apoptosis <sup>13<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celery contained carbohydrates, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, phenols, furocoumarins, volatile oils, sesquiterpene alcohols, fatty acids, and a wide range of trace elements <sup>11<\/sup>. Celery has anti-inflammatory <sup>14<\/sup> and antioxidant effect <sup>15<\/sup> which were the major mechanism of the pathophysiology of IRI. IRI induced kidney failure and increase ET-1 and ET<sub>A<\/sub>R expression. ET-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor that contributes to the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury. The therapeutic strategy in the management of AKI can be done with blocking ET-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In\nthis study, we observe the effect of celery ethanol extract on the ET-1 and\nETAR gene expression in kidney IRI rat model. The ET-1 gene expression in the\nIR group was higher than the SO group but there were no significant differences\nbased on statistical analysis. The increase of ET-1 one day after AKI has been\nalready reported. Vasoconstriction cause of ET-1 in the renal vascular system\nis mediated by ET<sub>A<\/sub>R. In this study, ET<sub>A<\/sub>R gene expression\nin the IR group was higher than the SO group, however, it is not significant on\nstatistics. ET<sub>A<\/sub>R gene expression was no significant differences, although,\nthe study showed decrease ET<sub>A<\/sub>R gene expression after giving celery\nethanol extract for 7 days and 14 days before IRI, but increased for 28 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ET-1 and NO regulate vessels&#8217; tonus balance which was influenced by vessel remodeling. Endothelial damage due to vasoconstriction can be reduced by reducing NO (6). It showed that the level of NO in the IRI group lower than the SO group. The downregulation of the NO\/sGC\/cGMP pathway and low NO level is commonly found in kidney disease <sup>16<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration of celery 1000 mg\/kg BW for 7, 14, and 28 days before IRI induction prevents the decrease of NO level. The highest NO level in this study is in 14 days of giving celery ethanol extract. NO has been recognized as tissue protective through physiological regulation of vascular tone, platelet aggregation inhibition, attenuation of leukocyte adherence to the endothelium, scavenging of oxygen-derived free radicals, maintenance of normal vascular permeability, inhibition of smooth muscle proliferation, immune defense, and stimulation of endothelial cell regeneration (8). NO inhibits vasoconstriction and represents a counter regulator ET-1 system. NO production in the kidney has been shown to be important for the regulation and protection of many kidney functions <sup>16<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oxidative stress and inflammation were the major factor that influenced the kidney damage in the ischemia-reperfusion injury. IRI generated a huge amount of ROS <sup>17<\/sup>. SOD is an antioxidant endogen against oxidative injury because of this enzyme dismutase superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, which is then detoxified by catalase or glutathione peroxidase. Therefore, administration of SOD may be a &nbsp;potential therapeutic approach to decrease oxidative stress and injury in ischemic reperfusion of the kidney (18). Administration of celery ethanol extract in this study prevents the decrease of SOD level in ischemia-reperfusion injury rat model. Administration 1000 mg\/kg BW of celery ethanol extract for 14 days before IRI was the most prevent decrease of SOD level. There were three isoforms of SOD. SOD3 is the isoform that is most abundantly expressed in the kidney and the bloof vessels. Thus it can be considered as the most relevant isoform for protection against ischemia-induced renal impairment <sup>18<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acute kidney injury is an inflammatory disease <sup>19<\/sup>. The innate and adaptive immune systems participate in the inflammatory response to IRI <sup>6<\/sup>. TNF-\u03b1 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathobiology of AKI. The result of the TNF-\u03b1 level in this study was no significant differences using the one-way ANOVA test (p&gt;0.05). Nevertheless, the mean TNF-\u03b1 level in the treatment group lower than the IRI group. The lowest is in celery ethanol extract 1000 mg\/kg BW for 7 days group and in 14 days and also 28 days groups were higher than 7 days but still lower than IRI group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administration\nof celery ethanol extract 1000 mg\/kg BW for 7 and 14 days prevents renal\nischemia-reperfusion injury via increasing nitrite oxide and superoxide\ndismutase. The giving of celery ethanol extract 1000 mg\/BW for more than 28\ndays is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Acknowledgment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nauthor thanks to the Research Institutions and Community Service, Universitas\nJenderal Soedirman which was supported by research grants (BLU).
