Project description:Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been linked to several clinical manifestations including chronic kidney disease. However, it is not known whether HHcy has a role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). In the present study, we reported that HHcy mice developed more severe renal injury after cisplatin injection and ischemia-reperfusion injury shown as more severe renal tubular damage and higher serum creatinine. In response to cisplatin, HHcy mice showed more prevalent tubular cell apoptosis and decreased tubular cell proliferation. Mechanistically, a heightened ER stress and a reduced Akt activity were observed in kidney tissues of HHcy mice after cisplatin injection. Stimulating cultured NRK-52E cells with Hcy significantly increased the fraction of cells in G2/M phase and cell apoptosis together with decreased Akt kinase activity. Akt agonist IGF-1 rescued HHcy-induced cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that HHcy increases the sensitivity and severity of AKI.

Project description:Cisplatin (CP) induces acute kidney injury (AKI) whereby proximal tubules undergo regulated necrosis. Repair is almost complete after a single dose. We now demonstrate a role for Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide 1 (Apobec-1) that is prominently expressed at the interface between acute and chronic kidney injury (CKD), in the recovery from AKI. Apobec-1 knockout (KO) mice exhibited greater mortality than in wild type (WT) and more severe AKI in both CP- and unilateral ischemia reperfusion (IR) with nephrectomy. Specifically, plasma creatinine (pCr) 2.6 ± 0.70 mg/dL for KO, n = 10 and 0.16 ± 0.02 for WT, n = 6, p < 0.0001 in CP model and 1.34 ± 0.22 mg/dL vs 0.75 ± 0.06, n = 5, p < 0.05 in IR model. The kidneys of Apobec-1 KO mice showed increased necrosis, increased expression of KIM-1, NGAL, RIPK1, ASCL4 and increased lipid accumulation compared to WT kidneys (p < 0.01). Neutrophils and activated T cells were both increased, while macrophages were reduced in kidneys of Apobec-1 KO animals. Overexpression of Apobec-1 in mouse proximal tubule cells protected against CP-induced cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that Apobec-1 mediates critical pro-survival responses to renal injury and increasing Apobec-1 expression could be an effective strategy to mitigate AKI.

Project description:Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe side effects and can prevent the use of this important agent. Unfortunately, preventive or therapeutic tools to address cisplatin-induced AKI are lacking. Interestingly, in the last decades a row of preconditioning strategies that employ the activation of cellular stress resistance pathways have been shown to be promising approaches to protect from organ injury in rodent models. Here, we characterized both the protective potential and the underlying molecular patterns of two strategies – caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning – in mice treated with cisplatin.

Project description:Mitophagy plays a key role in cleaning damaged and depolarized mitochondria to maintain cellular homeostasis and viability. Although it was originally found in neurodegenerative diseases, mitophagy is reported to play an important role in acute kidney injury. PINK1 and Parkin are key molecules in mitophagy pathway. Here, we used PINK1 knockout rats to examine the role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. After cisplatin treatment, PINK1 knockout rats showed lower plasma creatinine and less tubular damage when compared with wild-type rats. Meanwhile, mitophagy indicated by autophagosome formation and LC3B-II accumulation was also attenuated in PINK1 knockout rats. Renal expression of PINK1 and Parkin were down-regulated while BNIP3L was up-regulated by cisplatin treatment, indicating a major role of BNIP3/BNIP3L pathway in cisplatin-induced mitophagy. Transmission electron microscopy showed that PINK1 deficiency inhibited cisplatin-induced mitochondrial fragmentation indicating an involvement of mitochondrial fusion and fission. Renal expression of mitochondrial dynamics related proteins including Fis1, Drp1, Mfn1, Mfn2, and Opa1 were checked by real-time PCR and western blots. The results showed PINK1 deficiency distinctly prevented cisplatin-induced up-regulation of DRP1. Finally, PINK1 deficiency alleviated cisplatin-induced tubular apoptosis indicated by TUNEL assay as well as the expression of caspase3 and cleaved caspase3. Together, these results suggested PINK1 deficiency ameliorated cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in rats, possibly via inhibiting DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission and excessive mitophagy.

Project description:Klotho protects the kidney from ischemia-reperfusion injury, but its effect on nephrotoxins is unknown. Here we determined whether Klotho protects the kidney from cisplatin toxicity. Cisplatin increased plasma creatinine and induced tubular injury, which were exaggerated in Klotho haplosufficient (Kl/+) and ameliorated in transgenic Klotho overexpressing (Tg-Kl) mice. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and active caspase-3 protein and the number of apoptotic cells in the kidney were higher in Kl/+ and lower in Tg-Kl compared with wild-type mice. Klotho suppressed basolateral uptake of cisplatin by the normal rat kidney cell line (NRK), an effect similar to cimetidine, a known inhibitor of organic cation transport (OCT). A decrease in cell surface and total OCT2 protein and OCT activity by Klotho was mimicked by ?-glucuronidase. The Klotho effect was attenuated by ?-glucuronidase inhibition. On the other hand, OCT2 mRNA was reduced by Klotho but not by ?-glucuronidase. Moreover, cimetidine inhibited OCT activity but not OCT2 expression. Unlike cimetidine, Klotho reduced cisplatin-induced apoptosis from either the basolateral or apical side and even when added after NRK cells were already loaded with cisplatin. Thus, Klotho protects the kidney against cisplatin nephrotoxicity by reduction of basolateral uptake of cisplatin by OCT2 and a direct anti-apoptotic effect independent of cisplatin uptake. Klotho may be a useful agent to prevent and treat cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the main obstacle that limits the use of cisplatin in cancer treatment. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the most commonly used class of medications for gastrointestinal complications in cancer patients, have been reported to cause adverse renal events. However, the effect of PPIs on cisplatin-induced AKI remains unclear. Herein, the effect and mechanism of lansoprazole (LPZ), one of the most frequently prescribed PPIs, on cisplatin-induced AKI were investigated in vivo and in vitro. C57BL/6 mice received a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cisplatin (18 mg/kg) to induce AKI, and LPZ (12.5 or 25 mg/kg) was administered 2 hours prior to cisplatin administration and then once daily for another 2 days via i.p. injection. The results showed that LPZ significantly aggravated the tubular damage and further increased the elevated levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen induced by cisplatin. However, LPZ did not enhance cisplatin-induced tubular apoptosis, as evidenced by a lack of significant change in mRNA and protein expression of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and TUNEL staining. Notably, LPZ increased the number of necrotic renal tubular cells compared to that by cisplatin treatment alone, which was further confirmed by the elevated necroptosis-associated protein expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK3 and p-MLKL. Furthermore, LPZ deteriorated cisplatin-induced inflammation, as revealed by the increased mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors including, NLRP3, IL-1β, TNF-α and caspase 1, as well as neutrophil infiltration. Consistently, in in vitro study, LPZ increased HK-2 cell death and enhanced inflammation, compared with cisplatin treatment alone. Collectively, our results demonstrate that LPZ aggravates cisplatin-induced AKI, and necroptosis may be involved in the exacerbation of kidney damage.

Project description:Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of heme to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and iron. The beneficial effects of HO-1 expression are not merely due to degradation of the pro-oxidant heme but are also credited to the by-products that have potent, protective effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and prosurvival properties. This is well reflected in the preclinical animal models of injury in both renal and nonrenal settings. However, excessive accumulation of the by-products can be deleterious and lead to mitochondrial toxicity and oxidative stress. Therefore, use of the HO system in alleviating injury merits a targeted approach. Based on the higher susceptibility of the proximal tubule segment of the nephron to injury, we generated transgenic mice using cre-lox technology to enable manipulation of HO-1 (deletion or overexpression) in a cell-specific manner. We demonstrate the validity and feasibility of these mice by breeding them with proximal tubule-specific Cre transgenic mice. Similar to previous reports using chemical modulators and global transgenic mice, we demonstrate that whereas deletion of HO-1, specifically in the proximal tubules, aggravates structural and functional damage during cisplatin nephrotoxicity, selective overexpression of HO-1 in proximal tubules is protective. At the cellular level, cleaved caspase-3 expression, a marker of apoptosis, and p38 signaling were modulated by HO-1. Use of these transgenic mice will aid in the evaluation of the effects of cell-specific HO-1 expression in response to injury and assist in the generation of targeted approaches that will enhance recovery with reduced, unwarranted adverse effects.

Project description:Cisplatin (CDDP) is a widely used anticancer drug, but acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most important dose-limiting factors. Trace metal elements are present in various concentrations in the body and play an important role in maintaining normal vital functions. However, the relationship between CDDP-induced AKI and trace metal elements is unknown. In this study, we cultured human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells in the presence of CDDP (0, 12.5, 25, 50 μM) and analyzed the concentration of trace elements in medium after 24 h. We found that CDDP significantly increased the concentrations of zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) in medium and significantly decreased them in lysate. Therefore, we examined the effects of CDDP (3 mg/kg, i.p.) administration on serum and urinary Zn and Mn concentrations in rats. The results showed that urinary excretion of Zn and Mn increased in CDDP-treated rats 5 days after administration. Also, 5 days after administration, pyknosis, nuclear loss, loss of the brush border membrane, and DNA fragmentation were observed, and serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were found to be significantly increased. These data suggested that 24-h excretion of Zn and Mn might reflect on CDDP induced nephropathy. Monitoring urinary Zn and Mn excretion may be beneficial in detecting AKI, but further studies are needed for clinical application.

Project description:Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is a common complication in patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. But the effective therapies for CIAKI are not available. Retinoic acid (RA), the main derivative of vitamin A, has the potential to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in renal injury. However, the effect and mechanism of RA on CIAKI are still unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RA can alleviate CIAKI through activation of autophagy. In this study, we evaluated the effect of RA, RA's effect on autophagy and apoptosis after cisplatin-induced injury on renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) by LDH assay, immunoblotting and TUNEL staining. Then we established Atg5flox/flox:Cagg-Cre mice in which Cagg-Cre is tamoxifen inducible, and Atg5 is conditional deleted after tamoxifen injection. The effect of RA and RA's effect on autophagy on CIAKI model were evaluated by biochemical assessment, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and immunoblotting in the control and autophagy deficient mice. In vitro, RA protected RTECs against cisplatin-induced injury, activated autophagy, and inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis. In vivo, RA attenuated cisplatin-induced tubular damage, shown by improved renal function, decreased renal cast formation, decreased NGAL expression, and activated autophagy in the control mice. Furthermore, the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin was aggravated, and the protective effect of RA was attenuated in autophagy deficient mice, indicating that RA works in an autophagy-dependent manner on CIAKI. RA activates autophagy and alleviates CIAKI in vivo and in vitro.Thus RA may be a renoprotective adjuvant for cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
