Meta-analysis of AKI to CKD transition in perioperative patients.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Recent research shows AKI increases the risk of incident CKD. We hypothesized that perioperative AKI may confer increased risk of subsequent CKD compared to nonperioperative AKI.Methods
A MEDLINE search was performed for "AKI, CKD, chronic renal insufficiency, surgery, and perioperative" and related terms yielded 5209 articles. One thousand sixty-five relevant studies were reviewed. One thousand six were excluded because they were review, animal, or pediatric studies. Fifty-nine studies underwent full manuscript review by two independent evaluators. Seventeen met all inclusion criteria and underwent analysis. Two-by-two tables were constructed from AKI +/- and CKD +/- data. The R package metafor was employed to determine odds ratio (OR), and a random-effects model was used to calculate weighted ORs. Leave-1-out, funnel analysis, and structured analysis were used to estimate effects of study heterogeneity and bias.Results
Nonperioperative studies included studies of oncology, percutaneous coronary intervention, and myocardial infarction patients. Perioperative studies comprised patients from cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, and burns. There was significant heterogeneity, but risk of bias was overall assessed as low. The OR for AKI versus non-AKI patients developing CKD in all studies was 4.31 (95% CI 3.01-6.17; p < 0.01). Nonperioperative subjects demonstrated OR 3.32 for developing CKD compared to non-AKI patients (95% CI 2.06-5.34; p < 0.01) while perioperative patients demonstrated OR 5.20 (95% CI 3.12-8.66; p < 0.01) for the same event.Conclusions
We conclude that studies conducted in perioperative and nonperioperative patient populations suggest similar risk of development of CKD after AKI.

Project description:Clodronate liposomes are bisphosphonates encapsulated by liposomes that are known to induce macrophage depletion in vivo. In a previous study, clodronate liposomes improved renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice, which may be due to effects on macrophage phenotypes. However, how inflammatory cytokines secretion participates is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of macrophages in the I/R kidney by depleting macrophages with clodronate liposomes and changing inflammatory cytokines. C57BL/6 mice underwent I/R injury with or without clodronate liposomes administration on Days 5 and 15. Tubular injury, collagen deposition, and fibrosis were detected and analyzed by histological staining, immunocytochemistry (IHC), flow cytometry (FACS), and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Inflammatory cytokines were detected and analyzed by Western blotting and RT-PCR. We found that clodronate liposomes alleviated renal fibrosis and tissue damage on both Days 5 and 15. KIM-1, IL-10, and TGF-β were reduced significantly in the clodronate liposomes treatment group. However, TNF-α was not different between the clodronate liposomes treatment group and the phosphate-buffered saline treatment group on either Day 5 or Day 15. Thus, clodronate liposomes can alleviate renal fibrosis and tissue damage and reduce the inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β, suggesting that clodronate liposomes alleviate renal fibrosis may because of M1/M2 polarization.

Project description:To characterize current evidence and current foci of perioperative clinical trials, we systematically reviewed Medline and identified perioperative trials involving 100 or more adult patients undergoing surgery and reporting renal end points that were published in high-impact journals since 2004. We categorized the 101 trials identified based on the nature of the intervention and summarized major trial findings from the five categories most applicable to perioperative management of patients. Trials that targeted ischemia suggested that increasing perioperative renal oxygen delivery with inotropes or blood transfusion does not reliably mitigate acute kidney injury (AKI), although goal-directed therapy with hemodynamic monitors appeared beneficial in some trials. Trials that have targeted inflammation or oxidative stress, including studies of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, N-acetylcysteine, and sodium bicarbonate, have not shown renal benefits, and high-dose perioperative statin treatment increased AKI in some patient groups in two large trials. Balanced crystalloid intravenous fluids appear safer than saline, and crystalloids appear safer than colloids. Liberal compared with restrictive fluid administration reduced AKI in a recent large trial in open abdominal surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning, although effective in several smaller trials, failed to reduce AKI in two larger trials. The translation of promising preclinical therapies to patients undergoing surgery remains poor, and most interventions that reduced perioperative AKI compared novel surgical management techniques or existing processes of care rather than novel pharmacologic interventions.

Project description:Ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major pathogenic factor in acute kidney injury (AKI), which directly leads to the hypoxic injury of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs). Although emerging studies suggest repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) as a master regulator of gene repression under hypoxia, its role in AKI remains elusive. Here, we found that REST was upregulated in AKI patients, mice, and RTECs, which was positively associated with the degree of kidney injury, while renal tubule-specific knockout of Rest significantly alleviated AKI and its progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Subsequent mechanistic studies indicated that suppression of ferroptosis was responsible for REST-knockdown-induced amelioration of hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, during which process Cre-expressing adenovirus-mediated REST downregulation attenuated ferroptosis through upregulating glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) in primary RTECs. Further, REST transcriptionally repressed GCLM expression via directly binding to its promoter region. In conclusion, our findings revealed the involvement of REST, a hypoxia regulatory factor, in AKI-to-CKD transition and identified the ferroptosis-inducing effect of REST, which may serve as a promising therapeutic target for ameliorating AKI and its progression to CKD.

Project description:Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately 7-18% of all hospitalizations, but there are currently no effective drug therapy for preventing AKI or delaying its progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies have shown that Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional Chinese herb, could attenuate cisplatin-induced AKI, although the mechanism remains elusive. Further, it is unknown whether its major active component, Oroxylin A (OA), can alleviate kidney injury. Methods: The therapeutic effect of OA was evaluated by using ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and cisplatin mediated-AKI mice and HK-2 cells under hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) conditions. HE staining, transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, qPCR, Western blot, PPARα inhibitor, BNIP3 siRNA and ChIP assay were used to explore the role and mechanism of OA in AKI. Results: OA ameliorated tubular damage and dramatically decreased serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN), and the expressions of renal injury markers (Kim-1, Ngal) in AKI mice induced by both IR injury and cisplatin, as well as attenuating AKI-to-CKD transition. In vitro experiments showed that OA alleviated HR-induced mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance in renal tubular epithelial cells. Mechanistically, OA dose-dependently induced the expression of Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein (BNIP3), while knockdown of BNIP3 expression reversed the protection of OA against HR-mediated mitochondrial injury. Network pharmacological analysis and experimental validation suggested that OA enhanced BNIP3 expression via upregulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα), which induced the transcription of BNIP3 via directly binding to its promoter region. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that the renoprotective effect of OA was dramatically reduced by GW6471, a PPARα antagonist. Conclusion: Our findings revealed that OA ameliorates AKI-to-CKD transition by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis through inducing PPARα-BNIP3 signaling pathway, indicating that OA may serve as a candidate therapeutic strategy for alleviating AKI and CKD.

Project description:An effective strategy is highly desirable for preventing acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx), a redox-active protein that has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, would be a candidate for this but its short half-life limits its clinical application. In this study, we examined the renoprotective effect of long-acting Trx that is comprised of human albumin and Trx (HSA-Trx) against AKI to CKD transition. AKI to CKD mice were created by renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR). From day 1 to day 14 after renal IR, the recovery of renal function was accelerated by HSA-Trx administration. On day 14, HSA-Trx reduced renal fibrosis compared with PBS treatment. At the early phase of fibrogenesis (day 7), HSA-Trx treatment suppressed renal oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine production and macrophage infiltration, thus ameliorating tubular injury and fibrosis. In addition, HSA-Trx treatment inhibited G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in renal tubular cells. While renal Trx protein levels were decreased after renal IR, the levels were recovered by HSA-Trx treatment. Together, HSA-Trx has potential for use in the treatment of AKI to CKD transition via its effects of modulating oxidative stress and inflammation.

Project description:Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has substantial rates of mortality and morbidity, coupled with an absence of efficacious treatment options. AKI commonly transits into chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ultimately culminates in end-stage renal failure. The interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) level was upregulated in the kidneys of mice injured by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), cisplatin, or unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), however, its role in AKI development and subsequent AKI-to-CKD transition remains unknown. Methods: Isg15 knockout (Isg15 KO) mice challenged with bilateral or unilateral IRI, cisplatin, or UUO were used to investigate its role in AKI. We established cellular models with overexpression or knockout of ISG15 and subjected them to hypoxia-reoxygenation, cisplatin, or transforming growth factor- β1 (TGF-β1) stimulation. Renal RNA-seq data obtained from AKI models sourced from public databases and our studies, were utilized to examine the expression profiles of ISG15 and its associated genes. Additionally, published single cell RNA-seq data from human kidney allograft biopsies and mouse IRI model were analyzed to investigate the expression patterns of ISG15 and the type I TGF-β receptor (TGFβR1). Western blotting, qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining assays were performed to validate our findings. Results: Alleviated pathological injury and renal function were observed in Isg15 KO mice with IRI-, cisplatin-, or UUO-induced AKI and the following AKI-to-CKD transition. In hypoxia-reoxygenation, cisplatin or TGF-β1 treated HK-2 cells, knockout ISG15 reduced stimulus-induced cell fibrosis, while overexpression of ISG15 with modification capacity exacerbated cell fibrosis. Immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that ISG15 promoted ISGylation of TGFβR1, and inhibited its ubiquitination. Moreover, knockout of TGFβR1 blocked ISG15's fibrosis-exacerbating effect in HK-2 cells, while overexpression of TGFβR1 abolished the renal protective effect of ISG15 knockout during IRI-induced kidney injury. Conclusions: ISG15 plays an important role in the development of AKI and subsequent AKI-to-CKD transition by promoting TGFβR1 ISGylation.

Project description:Significance statementCells undergoing necrosis release extracellular high mobility group box (HMGB)-1, which triggers sterile inflammation upon AKI in mice. Neither deletion of HMGB1 from tubular epithelial cells, nor HMGB1 antagonism with small molecules, affects initial ischemic tubular necrosis and immediate GFR loss upon unilateral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). On the contrary, tubular cell-specific HMGB1 deficiency, and even late-onset pharmacological HMGB1 inhibition, increased functional and structural recovery from AKI, indicating that intracellular HMGB1 partially counters the effects of extracellular HMGB1. In vitro studies indicate that intracellular HMGB1 decreases resilience of tubular cells from prolonged ischemic stress, as in unilateral IRI. Intracellular HMGB1 is a potential target to enhance kidney regeneration and to improve long-term prognosis in AKI.BackgroundLate diagnosis is a hurdle for treatment of AKI, but targeting AKI-CKD transition may improve outcomes. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear regulator of transcription and a driver of necroinflammation in AKI. We hypothesized that HMGB1 would also modulate AKI-CKD transition in other ways.MethodsWe conducted single-cell transcriptome analysis of human and mouse AKI and mouse in vivo and in vitro studies with tubular cell-specific depletion of Hmgb1 and HMGB1 antagonists.ResultsHMGB1 was ubiquitously expressed in kidney cells. Preemptive HMGB1 antagonism with glycyrrhizic acid (Gly) and ethyl pyruvate (EP) did not affect postischemic AKI but attenuated AKI-CKD transition in a model of persistent kidney hypoxia. Consistently, tubular Hmgb1 depletion in Pax8 rtTA, TetO Cre, Hmgb1fl/fl mice did not protect from AKI, but from AKI-CKD transition. In vitro studies confirmed that absence of HMGB1 or HMGB1 inhibition with Gly and EP does not affect ischemic necrosis of growth-arrested differentiated tubular cells but increased the resilience of cycling tubular cells that survived the acute injury to oxidative stress. This effect persisted when neutralizing extracellular HMGB1 with 2G7. Consistently, late-onset HMGB1 blockade with EP started after the peak of ischemic AKI in mice prevented AKI-CKD transition, even when 2G7 blocked extracellular HMGB1.ConclusionTreatment of AKI could become feasible when ( 1 ) focusing on long-term outcomes of AKI; ( 2 ) targeting AKI-CKD transition with drugs initiated after the AKI peak; and ( 3 ) targeting with drugs that block HMGB1 in intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Project description:Studies in animal models have suggested a linkage between the inflammatory response to injury and subsequent nephron loss during the acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. Failure of normal repair during the CKD transition correlates with de novo expression of vascular cell adhesion protein-1 (VCAM-1) by a subset of injured proximal tubule cells. This study identified the role of VCAM-1 expression in promoting the failed repair state. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of patients with AKI and CKD and whole kidney RNA and protein analyses of mouse models of CKD confirmed a marked increase of VCAM-1 expression in the proximal tubules of injured kidneys. In immortalized mouse proximal tubular cells and primary cultured renal cells (PCRCs), VCAM-1 expression was induced by proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Analyses of bulk RNA sequencing of TNF-α-treated primary cultured renal cells or pseudo-bulk RNA sequencing of biopsies from Kidney Precision Medicine Project datasets indicated activation of NF-κB and an enrichment of inflammatory response and cell adhesion pathways in VCAM-1-positive cells. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB signaling or genetic deletion of myeloid differentiation factor 88 and TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β suppressed TNF-α- and IL-1β-induced VCAM-1 expression in vitro. TNF-α stimulation or overexpression of VCAM-1 significantly increased splenocyte adhesion to the mouse proximal tubular monolayer in culture. These results demonstrate that persistence of proinflammatory cytokines after AKI can induce NF-κB-dependent VCAM-1 expression by proximal tubule cells, mediating increased immune cell adhesion to the tubule and thus promoting further tubule injury and greater risk of progression from AKI to CKD.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The burden of AKI around the globe has not been systematically examined. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: A systematic review (2004-2012) of large cohort studies was conducted to estimate the world incidence of AKI and its stages of severity and associated mortality, and to describe geographic variations according to countries, regions, and their economies. AKI definitions were reclassified according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) staging system. Random-effects model meta-analyses and meta-regressions were used to generate summary estimates and explore sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS: There were 312 studies identified (n=49,147,878) , primarily in hospital settings. Most studies originated from North America, Northern Europe, and Eastern Asia, from high-income countries, and from nations that spent ?5% of the gross domestic product on total health expenditure. Among the 154 studies (n=3,585,911) that adopted a KDIGO-equivalent AKI definition, the pooled incidence rates of AKI were 21.6% in adults (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 19.3 to 24.1) and 33.7% in children (95% CI, 26.9 to 41.3). The pooled AKI-associated mortality rates were 23.9% in adults (95% CI, 22.1 to 25.7) and 13.8% in children (95% CI, 8.8 to 21.0). The AKI-associated mortality rate declined over time, and was inversely related to income of countries and percentage of gross domestic product spent on total health expenditure. CONCLUSIONS: Using the KDIGO definition, 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 3 children worldwide experience AKI during a hospital episode of care. This analysis provides a platform to raise awareness of AKI with the public, government officials, and health care professionals.

Project description:AKI after cardiac surgery is associated with mortality, prolonged hospital length of stay, use of dialysis, and subsequent CKD. We evaluated the effects of THR-184, a bone morphogenetic protein-7 agonist, in patients at high risk for AKI after cardiac surgery. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multidose comparison of the safety and efficacy of perioperative THR-184 using a two-stage seamless adaptive design in 452 patients between 18 and 85 years of age who were scheduled for nonemergent cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and had recognized risk factors for AKI. The primary efficacy end point was the proportion of patients who developed AKI according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The proportion of patients who developed AKI within 7 days of surgery was similar in THR-184 treatment groups and placebo groups (range, 74%-79%; P=0.43). Prespecified secondary end point analysis did not show significant differences in the severity of AKI stage (P=0.53) or the total duration of AKI (P=0.44). A composite of death, dialysis, or sustained impaired renal function by day 30 after surgery did not differ between groups (range, 11%-20%; P=0.46). Safety-related outcomes were similar across all treatment groups. In conclusion, compared with placebo, administration of perioperative THR-184 through a range of dose exposures failed to reduce the incidence, severity, or duration of AKI after cardiac surgery in high-risk patients.
