Hypoxia preconditioned renal tubular epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles alleviate renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury mediated by the HIF-1?/Rab22 pathway and potentially affected by microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: We previously found that hypoxia induced renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) release functional extracellular vesicles (EVs), which mediate the protection of remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) for kidney ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We intend to investigate whether the EVs were regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF-1?) and Rab22 during RIPC. We also attempted to determine the potentially protective cargo of the EVs and reveal their underlying mechanism. Hypoxia preconditioning (HPC) of human kidney 2 (HK2) cells was conducted at 1% oxygen (O2) for different amounts of time to simulate IPC in vitro. EVs were isolated and then quantified. HIF-1?- and Rab22-inhibited HK2 cells were used to investigate the role of the HIF-1?/Rab22 pathway in HPC-induced EV production. Both normoxic and HPC EVs were treated in vivo to assess the protective effect of I/R injury. Moreover, microRNA (miRNA) sequencing analysis and bioinformatics analysis was performed. We revealed that the optimal conditions for simulating IPC in vitro was no more than 12 h under the 1% O2 culture circumstance. HPC enhanced the production of EVs, and the production of EVs was regulated by the HIF-1?/Rab22 pathway during HPC. Moreover, HPC EVs were found to be more effective at attenuating mice renal I/R injury. Furthermore, 16 miRNAs were upregulated in HPC EVs. Functional and pathway analysis indicated that the miRNAs may participate in multiple processes and pathways by binding their targets to influence the biochemical results during RIPC. We demonstrated that HIF-1?/Rab22 pathway mediated RTEC-derived EVs during RIPC. The HPC EVs protected renal I/R injury potentially through differentially expressed miRNAs. Further study is needed to verify the effective EV-miRNAs and their underlying mechanism.

Project description:BackgroundThe morbidity of nephrolithiasis is 2-3 times higher in males than in females, suggesting that androgen plays a key role in nephrolithiasis. The death of renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) is an important pathophysiological process contributing to the development of nephrolithiasis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether androgen directly induces TECs apoptosis and necrosis and its underlying mechanisms in kidney stone formation.Materials and methodsWe compared serum testosterone level between male and female healthy volunteers and kidney stone patients. The in vivo nephrolithiasis model was established using glyoxylic acid, and calcium deposits were detected by van Kossa staining. In the in vitro study using mouse TECs (TCMK-1 cells) and human TECs (HK-2 cells), apoptosis, necrosis, and the expression of BH3-only protein Bcl-2-like 19 kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) were examined incubated with different doses of testosterone using flow cytometry. Levels of apoptosis-related proteins transfected with the BNIP3 siRNA were examined by western blotting. The mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm) was detected by JC-1 staining and flow cytometry. We monitored BNIP3 expression in the testosterone-induced TECs injury model after treatment with hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and/or hypoxia inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) inhibitors to determine the upstream protein regulating BNIP3 expression. Additionally, ChIP and luciferase assays were performed to confirm the interaction between HIF-1α and BNIP3.ResultsBoth male and female patients have significantly higher testosterones compared with healthy volunteers. More calcium deposits in the medulla were detected in male mice compared to female and castrated male mice. Testosterone induced TECs apoptosis and necrosis and increased BNIP3 expression in a dose-dependent manner. Testosterone also increased Bax expression, decreased Bcl-2 expression and induced a loss of ΔΨm. This effect was reversed by BNIP3 knockdown. HIF-1α inhibition significantly decreased BNIP3 expression and protected TECs from testosterone-induced apoptosis and necrosis. HIF-2α inhibition, however, did not influence BNIP3 expression or TECs apoptosis or necrosis. Finally, HIF-1α interacted with the BNIP3 promoter region.ConclusionBased on these results, testosterone induced renal TECs death by activating the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway.
