Mitochondria in Sepsis-Induced AKI.

ABSTRACT: AKI is a common clinical condition associated with the risk of developing CKD and ESKD. Sepsis is the leading cause of AKI in the intensive care unit (ICU) and accounts for nearly half of all AKI events. Patients with AKI who require dialysis have an unacceptably high mortality rate of 60%-80%. During sepsis, endothelial activation, increased microvascular permeability, changes in regional blood flow distribution with resulting areas of hypoperfusion, and hypoxemia can lead to AKI. No effective drugs to prevent or treat human sepsis-induced AKI are currently available. Recent research has identified dysfunction in energy metabolism as a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of AKI. Mitochondria, the center of energy metabolism, are increasingly recognized to be involved in the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced AKI and mitochondria could serve as a potential therapeutic target. In this review, we summarize the potential role of mitochondria in sepsis-induced AKI and identify future therapeutic approaches that target mitochondrial function in an effort to treat sepsis-induced AKI.

Project description:BackgroundSerum oxalate levels suddenly increase with certain dietary exposures or ethylene glycol poisoning and are a well known cause of AKI. Established contributors to oxalate crystal-induced renal necroinflammation include the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein-dependent tubule necroptosis. These studies examined the role of a novel form of necrosis triggered by altered mitochondrial function.MethodsTo better understand the molecular pathophysiology of oxalate-induced AIK, we conducted in vitro studies in mouse and human kidney cells and in vivo studies in mice, including wild-type mice and knockout mice deficient in peptidylprolyl isomerase F (Ppif) or deficient in both Ppif and Mlkl.ResultsCrystals of calcium oxalate, monosodium urate, or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, as well as silica microparticles, triggered cell necrosis involving PPIF-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition. This process involves crystal phagocytosis, lysosomal cathepsin leakage, and increased release of reactive oxygen species. Mice with acute oxalosis displayed calcium oxalate crystals inside distal tubular epithelial cells associated with mitochondrial changes characteristic of mitochondrial permeability transition. Mice lacking Ppif or Mlkl or given an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition displayed attenuated oxalate-induced AKI. Dual genetic deletion of Ppif and Mlkl or pharmaceutical inhibition of necroptosis was partially redundant, implying interlinked roles of these two pathways of regulated necrosis in acute oxalosis. Similarly, inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition suppressed crystal-induced cell death in primary human tubular epithelial cells. PPIF and phosphorylated MLKL localized to injured tubules in diagnostic human kidney biopsies of oxalosis-related AKI.ConclusionsMitochondrial permeability transition-related regulated necrosis and necroptosis both contribute to oxalate-induced AKI, identifying PPIF as a potential molecular target for renoprotective intervention.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis is the most common trigger for AKI and up to 40% of mild or moderate septic AKI would progress to more severe AKI, which is associated with significantly increased risk for death and later CKD/ESRD. Early identifying high risk patients for AKI progression is a major challenge in patients with septic AKI.MethodsThis is a prospective, multicenter cohort study which enrolled adult patients with sepsis and initially developed stage 1 or 2 AKI in the intensive care unit from January 2014 to March 2018. AKI was diagnosed and staged according to 2012 KDIGO-AKI guidelines. Renal cell arrest biomarkers (urinary TIMP2*IGFBP7, u[TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7]) and renal damage biomarkers (urinary KIM-1[uKIM-1] and urinary IL-18 [uIL-18]) were measured at time of AKI clinical diagnosis, and the performance of biomarkers for predicting septic AKI progression alone or in combination were evaluated. The primary outcome was AKI progression defined as worsening of AKI stage. The secondary outcome was AKI progression with subsequent death during hospitalization.ResultsAmong 433 screened patients, 149 patients with sepsis and stage 1 or 2 AKI were included, in which 63 patients developed progressive AKI and 49 patients subsequently died during hospitalization. u[TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7], uKIM-1 and uIL-18 independently predicted the progression of septic AKI in which u[TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] showed the greatest AUC (0.745; 95%CI, 0.667-0.823) as compared to uKIM-1 (AUC 0.719; 95%CI 0.638-0.800) and uIL-18 (AUC 0.619; 95%CI 0.525-0.731). Combination of u[TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] with uKIM-1 improved the performance of predicting septic AKI progression with AUC of 0.752. u[TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7], alone or combined with uKIM-1/uIL-18, improved the risk reclassification over the clinical risk factor model alone both for the primary and secondary outcomes, as evidenced by significant category-free net reclassification index.ConclusionsCombination of renal cell arrest and damage biomarkers enhanced the prediction of AKI progression in patients with sepsis and improved risk reclassification over the clinical risk factors.
