Project description:The aim of this study was to identify miRNAs that regulate AKI and develop their applications as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents. First, kidney tissues from two different AKI mouse models, namely, AKI induced by the administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causing sepsis (LPS-AKI mice) and AKI induced by renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI-AKI mice), were exhaustively screened for their changes of miRNA expression compared with that of control mice by microarray analysis.

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify miRNAs that regulate AKI and develop their applications as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents. First, kidney tissues from two different AKI mouse models, namely, AKI induced by the administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causing sepsis (LPS-AKI mice) and AKI induced by renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI-AKI mice), were exhaustively screened for their changes of miRNA expression compared with that of control mice by microarray analysis followed by quantitative RT-PCR. The initial profiling newly identified miRNA-5100, whose expression levels significantly decreased in kidneys in both LPS-AKI mice and IRI-AKI mice. Next, the administration of miRNA-5100-mimic conjugated with a nonviral vector, polyethylenimine nanoparticles (PEI-NPs), via the tail vein significantly induced miRNA-5100 overexpression in the kidney and prevented the development of IRI-AKI mice by inhibiting apoptosis and inflammation in vivo. Furthermore, serum levels of miRNA-5100 in patients with AKI were identified as significantly lower than those of healthy subjects. ROC analysis showed that the serum expression level of miRNA-5100 can identify AKI (cut-off value 0.14, AUC 0.96, sensitivity 1.00, specificity 0.833, p<0.05). These results suggest that miRNA-5100 regulates AKI and may be useful as a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for AKI.

Project description:Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), a complication that frequently occurs in hospital settings, is often associated with hemodynamic compromise, sepsis, cardiac surgery or exposure to nephrotoxicants. AKI is associated with immune cell infiltration into the kidney stroma, which causes acute tubular injury. Here, using a murine renal ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) model we show that intercalated cells (ICs) rapidly adopt a pro-inflammatory phenotype post IRI. During the early phase of AKI, we demonstrate that either blocking the pro-inflammatory P2Y14 receptor located on the apical membrane of ICs, or ablation of the gene encoding the P2Y14 receptor in ICs: 1) inhibits IRI-induced chemokine expression increase in ICs; 2) reduces neutrophil and monocyte renal infiltration; 3) reduces the extent of kidney dysfunction; and 4) attenuates proximal tubule (PT) damage. These observations indicate that the P2Y14 receptor participates in the very first inflammatory steps associated with ischemic AKI. In addition, we show that the concentration of the P2Y14 receptor ligand, uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc), is higher in urine samples from intensive care unit patients who developed AKI when compared with urine from patients without AKI. In particular, we observed a strong correlation between UDP-Glc concentration and the development of AKI in cardiac surgery patients. Our study identifies the UDP-Glc/P2Y14 receptor axis as a potential target for the prevention and/or attenuation of ischemic-AKI.

Project description:Acute kidney disease caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IRI-AKI) is characterized by ectopic inflammation and tubular injury, in which macrophage infiltration and inflammatory activation play a critical pathogenic role. Calycosin is an active flavone from the root of Astragalus membranaceus and shows anti-inflammatory effects in various diseases. In this study, we investigated the renoprotective role of calycosin against IRI-AKI and the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that calycosin treatment reduced the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen along with attenuated tubular necrosis and cast formation in IRI-AKI mice. Calycosin significantly suppressed the activation of NF-κB signaling and the expression of inflammatory mediators IL-1β and TNF-α in IRI-AKI kidneys. In vitro, calycosin inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory activation in RAW 264.7 cells. Interestingly, RNA-seq revealed that calycosin remarkably down-regulated chemotaxis-related pathways in RAW 264.7 cells. Among the differentially expressed genes, Ccl2/MCP-1, a critical chemokine mediating macrophage inflammatory chemotaxis, was down-regulated in both LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and IRI-AKI kidneys. Consistently, calycosin treatment attenuated macrophage infiltration in the IRI-AKI kidneys. Importantly, in combination with target prediction, molecular docking, and surface plasmon resonance, we showed that calycosin can directly bind to macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Functionally, calycosin abrogated MIF-stimulated NF-κB signaling activation and Ccl2 expression and MIF-mediated chemotaxis in RAW 264.7 cells without influencing its expression. Collectively, calycosin protects from IRI-AKI by suppressing MIF-mediated macrophage inflammatory chemotaxis. Calycosin could be a promising candidate medicine for clinical treatment of IRI-AKI.

Project description:Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a severe and life-threatening condi-tion with high morbidity and mortality among emergency patients, and it poses a sig-nificant risk of chronic renal failure. Clinical treatments for SA-AKI remain reactive and non-specific, lacking effective diagnostic biomarkers or treatment targets. In this study, we established an SA-AKI mouse model using LPS and performed proteomics and metabolomics analyses. A variety of bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Set En-richment Analysis (GSEA), Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), protein and protein interactions (PPI), and MetaboAnalyst analysis, were conducted to investigate the key molecules of SA-AKI. Proteomics and metabolomics analyses re-vealed that sepsis led to impaired renal mitochondrial function and metabolic disorders. Immune-related pathways were found to be activated in kidneys upon septic infection. The catabolic products of polyamines accumulated in septic kidneys. Overall, our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of SA-AKI and identifies potential pathways for this condition.

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) signaling is activted in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) after acute kidney injury (AKI). In these studies we evaluated the functional role of this by inducing ischemia reperfusion-induced AKI (IRI-AKI) in mice after inhibiting RA signaling in PTECs genetically. Here we evaluated the effects of this on the activation of renal mononuclear cells (MNCs) by evaluating RNA expression in CD11B+ cells isolated from kidneys after IRI-AKI. Compared with control mice, there was a reducion in expression of inflammatory marker gene expression 3 days after IRI-AKI in mice with inhibition of RAR signaling in PTECs. These findings suggest a mechanism by which inhibition of RAR signaling in PTECs is protective against AKI.

Project description:Incomplete repair after acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with progressive loss of tubular cell function and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we compared the kidney single-cell transcriptomes from the mice subjected to either unilateral ischemia-reperfusion kidney injury with contralateral nephrectomy (IRI/CL-NX, in which tubule repair predominates) or unilateral IRI with contralateral kidney intact (U-IRI, in which fibrosis and atrophy predominates) to investigate the mechanism(s) underlying transition to CKD following AKI.

Project description:Sepsis is a severe and dysregulated inflammatory disease that often precedes the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) with consequent worsening outcome. The main characteristics of sepsis-induced AKI include endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, infiltration of inflammatory cells, glomerular thrombosis, and renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC) injury. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation has been implicated in the initiation and progression of renal injury in course of sepsis. However, little is known, about the molecular basis of mTOR role in EC and RTEC dysfunction. Here, we evaluate whether mTOR inhibition by Rapamycin (Rp) as potential strategy to ameliorate renal function and dissected the molecular mechanisms involved. In a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI , LPS injection led to a time-dependent increase of serum creatinine and significant morphological changes in renal parenchyma associated with increased collagen deposits and endothelial dysfunction. Interestingly, Rp treatment significantly decreased creatine levels and preserved renal parenchyma, counteracting Endothelial-to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) process and early fibrosis through the inhibition of ERK pathway. Next, we examined the effects of LPS-TLR4 interaction in RTECs. Through a whole-genome DNA methylation analysis in cultured RTEC, we found that LPS induced aberrant methylation, particularly in regions involved in premature aging. The most represented genes were CD39 and WFS1. LPS stimulation of RTEC led to up-regulation of SA-β Gal and cell cycle arrest markers such as p21. In accordance, in endotoxemic mice, we found a decreased expression of CD39 concurrent with Klotho down-regulation. Administration of Rp exerted anti-aging effects in endotoxemic mice, preserving CD39 and Klotho expression. In conclusion, we demonstrated that mTOR inhibition could offer novel strategies to protect endothelial and tubular compartment from accelerated aging and fibrosis thus counteracting the progression to chronic kidney disease.
