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:Preconditioning strategies like caloric restriction (CR) and hypoxic preconditioning (HP) show remarkable protective effects in animal models of acute kidney injury (AKI). Since the underlying molecular effects are still not fully understood we performed an experiment directly comparing CR and HP in a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of the kidney. 8 to 12-week-old, male C57BL6/J mice were either put to 4 weeks of caloric restriction (70% of normal food intake) or placed in a hypoxic chamber (8%O2) for 3 consecutive days prior to IRI. Whole kidneys were used for transcriptional analysis (RNAseq) before and after ischemia-reperfusion injury to look for common effects of both modes of preconditioning.

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: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: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:CD4+ T cells mediate the pathogenesis of ischemic and nephrotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI), as well as acute injury to other organs. However, the underlying mechanisms of CD4+ T cell-mediated pathogenesis are largely unknown. We therefore conducted unbiased RNA-sequencing to discover novel mechanistic pathways of kidney CD4+ T cells post-ischemia compared to normal mouse kidney. Unexpectedly, lipocalin-2 (Lcn2) gene, which encodes neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) had the highest (~60)-fold increase. The NGAL increase in CD4+ T cells during AKI was confirmed at the mRNA level with real-time PCR and at the protein level with ELISA. NGAL is a potential biomarker for the early detection of AKI and has multiple potential biological functions during organ injury. However, the role of NGAL produced by CD4+ T cells has not been investigated. We found that ischemic AKI in NGAL knockout (KO) mice had worse renal outcomes compared to wild type (WT) mice. Adoptive transfer of NGAL-deficient CD4+ T cells from NGAL KO mice into CD4 KO or WT mice led to worse renal function than transfer of WT CD4+ T cells. In vitro simulated ischemia reperfusion showed that NGAL-deficient CD4+ T cells express higher levels of IFN-γ mRNA compared to WT CD4+ T cells. In vitro differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells to Th17, Th1 and Th2 cells led to significant increase in Lcn2 expression. Human kidney CD4+ T cell NGAL also increased significantly post-ischemia. These results demonstrate an important role for CD4+ T cell NGAL as a mechanism by which CD4+ T cells mediate AKI and extend the importance of NGAL in AKI beyond diagnostics.

Project description:Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden event of kidney failure or kidney damage occurring within a short period. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical factor to induce severe AKI and end-stage kidney disease in the kidney. However, biological mechanisms of ischemia and reperfusion are not well elucidated due to its complex pathophysiological processes. We aim to investigate key biological pathways affected by ischemia and by reperfusion separately at the transcriptome level. Method: We analyzed steady-state gene expressions using RNA-seq transcriptome data for normal (pre-ischemia), ischemia and reperfusion conditions obtained from the human kidney tissue. A conventional differential expression analysis and self-organizing map (SOM) clustering analysis followed by pathway analysis were performed to identify the underlying biological mechanisms of ischemia and reperfusion. Results: Differential expression analysis showed that metabolism and gap junction-related pathways were dysregulated in ischemia, whereas hypertrophy and immune response-related pathways were dysregulated in reperfusion. In addition, SOM clustering analysis revealed that metabolism, apoptosis, and fibrosis-related pathways were significantly dysregulated by ischemia compared to pre-ischemia. On the other hand, cell growth, migration, and immune response-related pathways were highly dysregulated by reperfusion after ischemia. Pro-apoptotic genes and death receptors were down-regulated during ischemia, indicating a protective process against ischemic injury. Reperfusion induced alteration of genes associated with immune components such as B-cell, neutrophil, and interleukin-15. Additionally, genes related to cell growth and migration such as AKT, KRAS, and Rho signaling were down-regulated, which might imply injury responses during reperfusion. Semaphorin 4D and plexin B1 were also down-regulated. However, further investigations are needed to identify their roles. Conclusion: We showed that specific biological pathways were distinctively involved in ischemia and reperfusion during IRI, suggesting that condition-specific therapeutic strategies may be required to prevent severe kidney damage after IRI in clinical research.
