Urine podoplanin heralds the onset of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the kidney.

ABSTRACT: Ischemia-reperfusion injury represents one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury, a serious and often deadly condition that affects up to 20% of all hospitalized patients in the United States. However, the current standard assay used universally for the diagnosis of acute kidney injury, serum creatinine, does not detect renal damage early in its course. Serendipitously, we found that the immunofluorescent signal of the constitutive podocyte marker podoplanin fades in the glomerulus and intensifies in the tubulointerstitial compartment of the kidney shortly after ischemia-reperfusion injury in 8- to 10-wk-old male C57Bl/6j mice. Therefore, we sought to define the appearance and course of the podoplanin-positive signal in the kidney after ischemia-reperfusion injury. The tubulointerstitial podoplanin-positive signal increased as early as 2 h but persisted for 7 days after ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition, the strength of this tubulointerstitial signal was directly proportional to the severity of ischemia, and its location shifted from the tubules to interstitial cells over time. Finally, we detected podoplanin in the urine of mice after ischemia, and we observed that an increase in the urine podoplanin-to-creatinine ratio correlated strongly with the onset of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our findings indicate that the measurement of urine podoplanin harbors promising potential for use as a novel biomarker for the early detection of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the kidney.

Project description:BackgroundIschemia/reperfusion (I/R) is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Its pathophysiology remains unclear. Metabolomics is dedicated to identify metabolites involved in (patho)physiological changes of integrated living systems. Here, we performed 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance metabolomics using urine, serum and kidney samples from a mouse model of renal I/R.MethodsRenal 30-min ischemia was induced in 12-week-old C57BL/6J male mice by bilaterally clamping vascular pedicles, and was followed by 6, 24 or 48-hour reperfusion (n = 12/group). Sham-operated mice were used as controls. Statistical discriminant analyses, i.e. principal component analysis and orthogonal projections to latent structures (OPLS-DA), were performed on urine, serum and kidney lysates at each time-point. Multivariate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn, and sensitivity and specificity were calculated from ROC confusion matrix (with averaged class probabilities across 100 cross-validations).ResultsUrine OPLS-DA analysis showed a net separation between I/R and sham groups, with significant variations in levels of taurine, di- and tri-methylamine, creatine and lactate. Such changes were observed as early as 6 hours post reperfusion. Major metabolome modifications occurred at 24h post reperfusion. At this time-point, correlation coefficients between urine spectra and conventional AKI biomarkers, i.e. serum creatinine and urea levels, reached 0.94 and 0.95, respectively. The area under ROC curve at 6h, 24h and 48h post surgery were 0.73, 0.98 and 0.97, respectively. Similar discriminations were found in kidney samples, with changes in levels of lactate, fatty acids, choline and taurine. By contrast, serum OPLS-DA analysis could not discriminate sham-operated from I/R-exposed animals.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that renal I/R in mouse causes early and sustained metabolomic changes in urine and kidney composition. The most implicated pathways at 6h and 24h post reperfusion include gluconeogenesis, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, whereas protein biosynthesis, glycolysis, and galactose and arginine metabolism are key at 48h post reperfusion.
