Background  The recent discovery of cell cycle arrest biomarkers, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), has led to a newly available clinical test for acute kidney injury. The performance of these markers in preclinical studies has not been established. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the performance of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 in rats undergoing cecal ligation and puncture.    Methods  In this secondary analysis, we analyzed banked urine samples from 60 Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Samples were obtained from baseline, 18 h after CLP, at the end of fluid resuscitation (22 h after CLP), and again 24 h later. We measured TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 and compared the results to acute kidney injury by RIFLE criteria for creatinine using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The primary endpoint was moderate-to-severe acute kidney injury (AKI) (I or F criteria), and the primary time point was immediately after fluid resuscitation. Secondary outcomes included mortality and comparisons with other biomarkers: cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in both urine and plasma.    Results  After fluid resuscitation, urine [TIMP-2] and [IGFBP7] were significantly higher in animals developing moderate-to-severe AKI ( p  = 0.002 and  p  = 0.01). AUC of [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] for AKI was 0.89 (95 % CI 0.80–0.98). By contrast, the next best AUC was seen with plasma cystatin C (0.78; 95 % CI 0.65–0.90). [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] also predicted mortality (AUC 0.69; 95 % CI 0.53–0.85).    Conclusions  In this experimental model of sepsis in the rat, cell cycle arrest biomarkers TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 are valid predictors of acute kidney injury.
