Objective: Scleroderma (SSc) is a rare autoimmune tissue disease. There is currently no effective treatment for SSc. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of upadacitinib and PD29 on total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) peroxidase levels, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-13 ( IL-13) in kidney tissues of an experimental SSc model. Materials and Methods: The experimental design was established with five groups of eight mice: Control, bleomycin (BLM) (5 μg/kg), BLM + upadacitinib (3mg/kg), BLM + PD29 (5 mg/kg) and BLM + PD29 + upadacitinib group. BLM was administered subcutaneously once a day for 21 days. PD29 was administered subcutaneously and upadacitinib (gavage) were injected for 21 days. Renal tissues were collected at the end of the experiment. Renal TOS, TAS, MDA, CAT, GSH levels, and IL-6 and IL-13 gene expressions were evaluated. Results: Upadacitinib and PD29 affected oxidant status and TOS. MDA levels decreased, and GSH, CAT, and TAS levels increased. Also, upadacitinib and PD29 decreased inflammation via IL-6 and IL-13 cytokines. Conclusion: Upadacitinib and PD29 may have therapeutic roles for SSc renal crisis.
