Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs of 18–23 nucleotides that regulate gene expression. Recently, plasma miRNAs have been investigated as biomarkers for various diseases. In the present study, we assessed whether the miRNA expression profiles of tubular tissues could discriminate proximal tubule injury and diagnose acute kidney injury (AKI) and the renal tubular dysfunction without morphological changes.

Project description:Mammalian kidney has very limited ability to repair or regenerate after acute kidney injury (AKI). The maladaptive repair of AKI promotes the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore new strategies to promote the repair/regeneration of injured renal tubules after AKI. It has been shown that hypoxia induces heart regeneration in adult mice. However, it is unknown whether hypoxia can induce kidney regeneration after AKI. In this study, we used a prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitor (PHDI), MK-8617, to mimic hypoxia condition and found that MK-8617 significantly ameliorates ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) induced acute kidney injury. We then showed that MK-8617 dramatically facilitates renal regeneration via promoting the proliferation of injured renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) after IRI-induced AKI. We then performed bulk mRNA sequencing and discovered that multiple nephrogenesis- related genes were significantly upregulated with MK-8617 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that MK-8617 may alleviate proximal tubule injury via stabilizing HIF-1α protein specifically in renal proximal tubular cells. We also demonstrated that MK-8617 promotes the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells, and the regeneration of renal proximal tubules. In summary, we discovered that inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase improves renal proximal tubule regeneration after IRI-induced AKI via promoting the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells.

Project description:NF-κB is a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). The cell type-specific functions of NF-κB in the kidney are unknown; however, the pathway serves distinct functions in immune and tissue-parenchymal cells. We analyzed tubular epithelial-specific NF-κB signaling in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced AKI. NF-κB reporter activity and nuclear localization of phosphorylated NF-κB subunit p65 analyses in mice revealed widespread NF-κB activation in renal tubular epithelia and in interstitial cells following IRI that peaked at 2-3 days after injury. To genetically antagonize tubular epithelial NF-κB activity, we generated mice expressing the human NF-κB super-repressor IκBα∆N in renal proximal, distal, and collecting duct epithelial cells. These mice were protected from IRI-induced AKI, as indicated by improved renal function, reduced tubular apoptosis, and attenuated neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. Tubular NF-κB-dependent gene expression profiles revealed temporally distinct functional gene clusters for apoptosis, chemotaxis, and morphogenesis. Primary proximal tubular cells isolated from IκBα∆N-expressing mice exposed to hypoxia-mimetic agent cobalt chloride were protected from apoptosis and expressed reduced levels of chemokines. Our results indicate that postischemic NF-κB activation in renal-tubular epithelia aggravates tubular injury and exacerbates a maladaptive inflammatory response.

Project description:Treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) is suboptimal. TWEAK is known to mediate cell death and inflammation in AKI. Transcriptomic analysis of murine tubular cells will allow us to identify novel mediators and therapeutic targets of this pathology. TWEAK is an inflammatory cytokine which is upregulated in AKI. Transcriptomic analysis of TWEAK-stimulated cultured murine tubular epithelial cells identified downregulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-g coactivador-1a (PGC-1a) and its target genes (mitochondrial proteins Ndufs1, Sdha, and Tfam) as a shared feature.

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:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that renal progenitor cells can be cloned from renal needle biopsy sample of CKD patients. Progenitor cells can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that progenitor cells can be cloned from mouse medulla and cortex. Clones can be grown from a single cell and indefinitely passaged. Progenitor cells derived from renal medulla can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

Project description:Altered cellular metabolism in kidney proximal tubule (PT) cells plays a critical role in the development and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). The transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) is rapidly and robustly induced in the PT after AKI, suggesting an early-inducible injury response gene. PT-specific Klf6 knockdown (Klf6PTKO) are protected from AKI and resulting fibrosis in mice. Combined RNA-sequencing and ChIP-sequencing demonstrated preserved expression of genes encoding branched chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic enzymes in Klf6PTKO mice, with several of the genes also having KLF6 binding sites close to their transcription start sites. Conversely, inducible KLF6 overexpression suppressed expression of BCAA genes and exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis in mice. Injured kidney cells could not respond to the BCAA catabolic activator BT2, and injured cells overexpressing KLF6 were less able to utilize BCAA. Thus, targeting KLF6-mediated suppression of BCAA catabolism may serve as key therapeutic target in AKI and kidney fibrosis.

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.
