Systemic and sustained thioredoxin analogue prevents acute kidney injury and its-associated distant organ damage in renal ischemia reperfusion injury mice.

ABSTRACT: The mortality of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains high due to AKI associated-lung injury. An effective strategy for preventing both AKI and AKI-associated lung injury is urgently needed. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx) is a redox-active protein that possesses anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties including modulation of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), but its short half-life limits its clinical application. Therefore, we examined the preventive effect of a long-acting Trx, which is a fusion protein of albumin and Trx (HSA-Trx), against AKI and AKI-associated lung injury. Recombinant HSA-Trx was expressed using a Pichia expression system. AKI-induced lung injury mice were generated by bilateral renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). HSA-Trx administration attenuated renal IRI and its-associated lung injury. Both renal and pulmonary oxidative stress were suppressed by HSA-Trx. Moreover, HSA-Trx inhibited elevations of plasma IL-6 and TNF-? level, and suppressed IL-6-CXCL1/2-mediated neutrophil infiltration into lung and TNF-?-mediated pulmonary apoptosis. Additionally, HSA-Trx suppressed renal IRI-induced MIF expression in kidney and lung. Administration of HSA-Trx resulted in a significant increase in the survival rate of renal IRI mice. Collectively, HSA-Trx could have therapeutic utility in preventing both AKI and AKI-associated lung injury as a consequence of its systemic and sustained multiple biological action.

Project description:BackgroundMany retinal diseases are associated with vascular dysfunction accompanied by neuroinflammation. We examined the ability of minocycline (Mino), a tetracycline derivative with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, to prevent vascular permeability and inflammation following retinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, a model of retinal neurodegeneration with breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB).MethodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 45 min of pressure-induced retinal ischemia, with the contralateral eye serving as control. Rats were treated with Mino prior to and following IR. At 48 h after reperfusion, retinal gene expression, cellular inflammation, Evan's blue dye leakage, tight junction protein organization, caspase-3 activation, and DNA fragmentation were measured. Cellular inflammation was quantified by flow-cytometric evaluation of retinal tissue using the myeloid marker CD11b and leukocyte common antigen CD45 to differentiate and quantify CD11b+/CD45low microglia, CD11b+/CD45hi myeloid leukocytes and CD11bneg/CD45hi lymphocytes. Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) immunoreactivity was used to determine the inflammatory state of these cells.ResultsMino treatment significantly inhibited IR-induced retinal vascular permeability and disruption of tight junction organization. Retinal IR injury significantly altered mRNA expression for 21 of 25 inflammation- and gliosis-related genes examined. Of these, Mino treatment effectively attenuated IR-induced expression of lipocalin 2 (LCN2), serpin peptidase inhibitor clade A member 3 N (SERPINA3N), TNF receptor superfamily member 12A (TNFRSF12A), monocyte chemoattractant-1 (MCP-1, CCL2) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). A marked increase in leukostasis of both myeloid leukocytes and lymphocytes was observed following IR. Mino treatment significantly reduced retinal leukocyte numbers following IR and was particularly effective in decreasing the appearance of MHCII+ inflammatory leukocytes. Surprisingly, Mino did not significantly inhibit retinal cell death in this model.ConclusionsIR induces a retinal neuroinflammation within hours of reperfusion characterized by inflammatory gene expression, leukocyte adhesion and invasion, and vascular permeability. Despite Mino significantly inhibiting these responses, it failed to block neurodegeneration.
