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

Project description:IntroductionKidney tubular epithelial injury is one of the key factors in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Wogonin is a kind of flavonoid, which has many pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis. However, the effect of wogonin in renal tubular epithelial cells during DN is still unknown.Materials and methodsSTZ-induced diabetic mice were given doses of wogonin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) by intragastric administration for 16 weeks. The metabolic indexes from blood and urine and pathological damage of renal tubules in mice were evaluated. Human tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were cultured in high glucose (HG) condition containing wogonin (2μM, 4μM, 8μM) for 24 h. Tubular epithelial cell inflammation and autophagic dysfunction both in vivo and in vitro were assessed by Western blot, qRT-PCR, IHC, and IF analyses.ResultsThe treatment of wogonin attenuated urinary albumin and histopathological damage in tubulointerstitium of diabetic mice. We also found that wogonin down-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and autophagic dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. Molecular docking and Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA) results revealed that mechanistically phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) was the target of wogonin. We then found that inhibiting PI3K eliminated the protective effect of wogonin. Wogonin regulated autophagy and inflammation via targeting PI3K, the important connection point of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.ConclusionOur study is the first to demonstrate the novel role of wogonin in mitigating tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal tubular cell injury via regulating PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway-mediated autophagy and inflammation. Wogonin might be a latent remedial drug against tubular epithelial injury in DN by targeting PI3K.

Project description:Renal tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation (EMT) plays a central role in the development of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). The profibrotic cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 and the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) also participate in RIF development, and Toll/IL-1R 8 (TIR8), a member of the Toll-like receptor superfamily, has been identified as a negative regulator of IL-1R signaling. However, the functions of TIR8 in IL-1-induced RIF remain unknown. Here, human embryonic kidney epithelial cells (HKC) and unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO)-induced RIF models on SD rats were used to investigate the functions of TIR8 involving IL-1β-induced EMT. We showed that IL-1β primarily triggers TIR8 expression by activating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in HKC cells. Conversely, high levels of TIR8 in HKC cells repress IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and inhibit IL-1β-induced EMT. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo findings revealed that TIR8 downregulation facilitated IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and contributed to TGF-β1-mediated EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells. These results suggested that TIR8 exerts a protective role in IL-1β-mediated EMT and potentially represents a new target for RIF treatment.

Project description:The transcription factor NF-κB is the master regulator of the immune response but also regulates gene expression to influences cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. Inducible site-specific phosphorylation of NF-κB is critical for its activity and appears to be important in gene specific transcriptional control. Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) is a nuclear protein that forms sub-nuclear structures termed nuclear bodies associated with transcriptionally active genomic regions. We demonstrate that PML promotes NF-κB- induced transcriptional responses by promoting the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 at key regulatory sites. Our findings demonstrate a critical role for PML in promoting NF-κB transcriptional activity through signal induced post-translational modifications.

Project description:Oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a Ca2+-permeable ion channel that is sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS). The role of TRPA1 in AKI remains unclear. In this study, we used human and animal studies to assess the role of renal TRPA1 in AKI and to explore the regulatory mechanism of renal TRPA1 in inflammation via in vitro experiments. TRPA1 expression increased in the renal tubular epithelia of patients with AKI. The severity of tubular injury correlated well with tubular TRPA1 or 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine expression. In an animal model, renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR) increased tubular TRPA1 expression in wild-type (WT) mice. Trpa1-/- mice displayed less IR-induced tubular injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and dysfunction in kidneys compared with WT mice. In the in vitro model, TRPA1 expression increased in renal tubular cells under hypoxia-reoxygenation injury (H/R) conditions. We demonstrated that H/R evoked a ROS-dependent TRPA1 activation, which elevated intracellular Ca2+ level, increased NADPH oxidase activity, activated MAPK/NF-κB signaling, and increased IL-8. Renal tubular TRPA1 may serve as an oxidative stress sensor and a crucial regulator in the activation of signaling pathways and promote the subsequent transcriptional regulation of IL-8. These actions might be evident in mice with IR or patients with AKI.

Project description:Inflammation after joint injury leads to joint responses that result in eventual osteoarthritis development. Blockade of inflammation, by suppressing NF-κB expression, has been shown to reduce joint injury-induced chondrocyte apoptosis and reactive synovitis in vivo. Herein, we demonstrate that the suppression of NF-κB p65 expression also significantly mitigates the acute pain sensitivity induced by mechanical injury to the joint. These results suggest that early intervention with anti-NF-κB nanotherapy mitigates both structural and pain-related outcomes, which in turn may impact the progression of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
