Abstract:Diquat is a kind of bipyridine herbicide. In recent years, the application of diquat has become increasingly widespread. Diquat has severe toxicity to the human body. Misadministration of diquat can lead to multiple organ damage, in which kidney is the main organ excreted in vitro after diquat absorbed. Therefore, people have gradually paid great attention to acute kidney injury caused by improper administration of diquat. After diquat poisoning, cells in the body can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in oxidative stress, thus increasing IL-17 and activating NF-κB signal pathway. IL-17 interacts with NF-κB signaling pathway and acts as an injury factor to cause damage to organ structure and function, including acute kidney injury. This article reviews the possible correlation between renal injury after Diquat poisoning and IL-17 and NF-κB signaling pathways.
