Semaphorin 3A inactivation suppresses ischemia-reperfusion-induced inflammation and acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies show that guidance molecules that are known to regulate cell migration during development may also play an important role in adult pathophysiologic states. One such molecule, semaphorin3A (sema3A), is highly expressed after acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice and humans, but its pathophysiological role is unknown. Genetic inactivation of sema3A protected mice from ischemia-reperfusion-induced AKI, improved tissue histology, reduced neutrophil infiltration, prevented epithelial cell apoptosis, and increased cytokine and chemokine excretion in urine. Pharmacological-based inhibition of sema3A receptor binding likewise protected against ischemia-reperfusion-induced AKI. In vitro, sema3A enhanced toll-like receptor 4-mediated inflammation in epithelial cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Moreover, administration of sema3A-treated, bone marrow-derived dendritic cells exacerbated kidney injury. Finally, sema3A augmented cisplatin-induced apoptosis in kidney epithelial cells in vitro via expression of DFFA-like effector a (cidea). Our data suggest that the guidance molecule sema3A exacerbates AKI via promoting inflammation and epithelial cell apoptosis.

Project description:BackgroundThrombo-inflammation is an important checkpoint that orchestrates infarct development in ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we explored the role of endothelial Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in cerebral thrombo-inflammation.MethodsThe correlation between serum Cav-1 level and clinical outcome was analyzed in acute ischemic stroke patients with successful recanalization. Genetic manipulations by endothelial-specific adeno-associated virus (AAV) and siRNA were applied to investigate the effects of Cav-1 in thrombo-inflammation in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model. Thrombo-inflammation was analyzed by microthrombosis formation, myeloid cell infiltration, and endothelial expression of adhesion molecules as well as inflammatory factors.FindingsReduced circulating Cav-1, with the potential to predict microembolic signals, was more frequently detected in recanalized stroke patients without early neurological improvement. At 24 h after tMCAO, serum Cav-1 was consistently reduced in mice. Endothelial Cav-1 was decreased in the peri-infarct region. Cav-1-/- endothelium, with prominent barrier disruption, displayed extensive microthrombosis, accompanied by increased myeloid cell inflammatory infiltration after tMCAO. Specific enhanced expression of endothelial Cav-1 by AAV-Tie1-Cav-1 remarkably reduced infarct volume, attenuated vascular hyper-permeability and alleviated thrombo-inflammation in both wild-type and Cav-1-/- tMCAO mice. Transcriptome analysis after tMCAO further designated Rxrg as the most significantly changed molecule resulting from the knockdown of Cav-1. Supplementation of RXR-γ siRNA reversed AAV-Tie1-Cav-1-induced amelioration of thrombo-inflammation without affecting endothelial tight junction.InterpretationEndothelial Cav-1/RXR-γ may regulate infarct volume and neurological impairment, possibly through selectively controlling thrombo-inflammation coupling, in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.FundingThis work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
