IL-34 mediates acute kidney injury and worsens subsequent chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: Macrophages (Mø) are integral in ischemia/reperfusion injury-incited (I/R-incited) acute kidney injury (AKI) that leads to fibrosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). IL-34 and CSF-1 share a receptor (c-FMS), and both cytokines mediate Mø survival and proliferation but also have distinct features. CSF-1 is central to kidney repair and destruction. We tested the hypothesis that IL-34-dependent, Mø-mediated mechanisms promote persistent ischemia-incited AKI that worsens subsequent CKD. In renal I/R, the time-related magnitude of Mø-mediated AKI and subsequent CKD were markedly reduced in IL-34-deficient mice compared with controls. IL-34, c-FMS, and a second IL-34 receptor, protein-tyrosine phosphatase ? (PTP-?) were upregulated in the kidney after I/R. IL-34 was generated by tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and promoted Mø-mediated TEC destruction during AKI that worsened subsequent CKD via 2 distinct mechanisms: enhanced intrarenal Mø proliferation and elevated BM myeloid cell proliferation, which increases circulating monocytes that are drawn into the kidney by chemokines. CSF-1 expression in TECs did not compensate for IL-34 deficiency. In patients, kidney transplants subject to I/R expressed IL-34, c-FMS, and PTP-? in TECs during AKI that increased with advancing injury. Moreover, IL-34 expression increased, along with more enduring ischemia in donor kidneys. In conclusion, IL-34-dependent, Mø-mediated, CSF-1 nonredundant mechanisms promote persistent ischemia-incited AKI that worsens subsequent CKD.

Project description:BackgroundThe progression from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well understood in children.ObjectivesWe aimed to develop a pediatric CKD definition using administrative data and use it to evaluate the association between AKI in critically ill children and CKD 5 years after hospital discharge.DesignRetrospective cohort study using chart collection and administrative data.SettingTwo-center study in Montreal, Canada.PatientsChildren (?18 years old) admitted to two pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) between 2003 and 2005. We a priori excluded patients with end-stage renal disease or no health care number. Only the first admission during the study period was included. We excluded patients who could not be linked to administrative data, did not survive hospitalization, or had preexisting renal disease.MeasurementsAcute kidney injury was defined using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Patients were defined as having CKD 5 years post-discharge if they had ?1 CKD diagnostic code or ?1 CKD-specific medication prescription.MethodsChart data used to define the exposure (AKI) were merged with provincial administrative data used to define the outcome (CKD). Cox regression was used to evaluate the AKI-CKD association.ResultsA total of 2235 (56% male) patients were included, and the median admission age was 3.7 years. A total of 464 (21%) patients developed AKI during pediatric ICU admission. At 5 years post-discharge, 43 (2%) patients had a CKD diagnosis. Patients with both stage 1 and stage 2-3 AKI had increased risk of a CKD diagnosis, with the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 2.2 (1.1-4.5) and 2.5 (1.1-5.7), respectively (P < .001).LimitationsResults may not be generalizable to non-ICU patients. We were not able to control for post-discharge variables; future research should try to explore these additional potential risk factors further.ConclusionsAcute kidney injury is associated with 5-year post-discharge CKD diagnosis defined by administrative health care data.

Project description:ImportanceAmong patients who had acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization, there is a need to improve risk prediction such that those at highest risk for subsequent loss of kidney function are identified for appropriate follow-up.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of post-AKI proteinuria with increased risk of future loss of renal function.Design, setting, and participantsThe Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae in Acute Kidney Injury (ASSESS-AKI) Study was a multicenter prospective cohort study including 4 clinical centers in North America included 1538 patients enrolled 3 months after hospital discharge between December 2009 and February 2015.ExposuresUrine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) quantified 3 months after hospital discharge.Main outcomes and measuresKidney disease progression defined as halving of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or end-stage renal disease.ResultsOf the 1538 participants, 769 (50%) had AKI durring hospitalization. The baseline study visit took place at a mean (SD) 91 (23) days after discharge. The mean (SD) age was 65 (13) years; the median eGFR was 68 mL/min/1.73 m2; and the median urine ACR was 15 mg/g. Overall, 547 (37%) study participants were women and 195 (13%) were black. After a median follow-up of 4.7 years, 138 (9%) participants had kidney disease progression. Higher post-AKI urine ACR level was associated with increased risk of kidney disease progression (hazard ratio [HR], 1.53 for each doubling; 95% CI, 1.45-1.62), and urine ACR measurement was a strong discriminator for future kidney disease progression (C statistic, 0.82). The performance of urine ACR was stronger in patients who had had AKI than in those who had not (C statistic, 0.70). A comprehensive model of clinical risk factors (eGFR, blood pressure, and demographics) including ACR provided better discrimination for predicting kidney disease progression after hospital discharge among those who had had AKI (C statistic, 0.85) vs those who had not (C statistic, 0.76). In the entire matched cohort, after taking into account urine ACR, eGFR, demographics, and traditional chronic kidney risk factors determined 3 months after discharge, AKI (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.51-4.13 for AKI vs non-AKI) or severity of AKI (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 0.50-4.72 for AKI stage 1 vs non-AKI; HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.07-4.84 for AKI stage 2 vs non-AKI; HR, 2.24; 95% CI, 0.33-15.29 for AKI stage 3 vs non-AKI) was not independently associated with more rapid kidney disease progression.Conclusions and relevanceProteinuria level is a valuable risk-stratification tool in the post-AKI period. These results suggest there should be more widespread and routine quantification of proteinuria after hospitalized AKI.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin-17C (IL-17C), a member of the IL-17 cytokine family, plays a pathogenic role in kidney diseases. Our previous studies have shown that pre-administration of IL-17C neutralizing antibody attenuated acute kidney injury (AKI, a common acute inflammation associated renal disease). In this study, we explored whether post-ischemia reperfusion (IR) of IL-17C blockade has therapeutic effects on AKI and whether IL-17C is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), a major type of chronic inflammation-associated kidney disease.Methods12-week-old male C57BL/6JGpt mice were treated with IL-17C neutralizing antibody or normal IgG control antibody at 3 h after reperfusion. Renal injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress were assessed. Additionally, we examined renal IL-17C expression in patients with DN and db/db mice and evaluated albuminuria, mesangial matrix accumulation and podocyte loss in db/db mice with IL-17C neutralization. Knockdown of NF-κB p65 using siRNA, and blocking Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) using YC-1 in mice and HIF-1α Decoy in HK2 cells were investigated to explore the possible signaling pathway involved in IL-17C regulation.FindingsWe found that delayed IL-17C neutralization had similar reno-protective effects on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Additionally, renal IL-17C expression was increased in patients with DN and db/db mice, while IL-17C blockade significantly attenuated DN, accompanied with blunted albuminuria, mesangial matrix accumulation, and podocyte loss. Moreover, IL-17C neutralization significantly repressed the expression of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory cell infiltration, and Th17/IL-17A activation both in mice with renal IRI and DN. Mechanistical studies demonstrated that hypoxia or high glucose-induced IL-17C up-regulation was predominantly mediated by NF-κB pathway.InterpretationIL-17C participates in the pathogenesis of AKI and DN and inhibition of IL-17C shows potential as a therapeutic strategy for AKI and DN.FundingThe National Natural Science Foundation of China (81770741, 81700601 and 81870504).
