Lung metabolomics after ischemic acute kidney injury reveals increased oxidative stress, altered energy production, and ATP depletion

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disease associated with increased mortality that may be due to deleterious distant organ effects. AKI associated with respiratory complications, in particular, has a poor outcome. In murine models, AKI is characterized by increased circulating cytokines, lung chemokine upregulation, and neutrophilic infiltration, similar to other causes of indirect acute lung injury (ALI)(e.g., sepsis). Many causes of lung inflammation are associated with a lung metabolic profile characterized by increased oxidative stress, a shift towards the use of other forms of energy production, and/or a depleted energy state. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have evaluated pulmonary energy production and metabolism after AKI. We hypothesized that based on the parallels between inflammatory acute lung injury and AKI-mediated lung injury, a similar metabolic profile would be observed. Lung metabolomics and ATP levels were assessed 4 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days after ischemic AKI in mice. Numerous novel findings regarding the effect of AKI on the lung were observed including 1) increased oxidative stress, 2) a shift toward alternate methods of energy production, and 3) depleted levels of ATP. The findings in this report bring to light novel characteristics of AKI-mediated lung injury and provide new leads into the mechanisms by which AKI in patients predisposes to pulmonary complications.

Project description:Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory process of the lungs characterized by increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary membrane with subsequent interstitial/alveolar edema and diffuse alveolar damage. ALI/ARDS can be the results of either direct or indirect lung injury, with pneumonia being the most common direct pulmonary insult and sepsis the most common extra-pulmonary cause. In this study, we employed the murine lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced direct and indirect lung injury model to explore the pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary ARDS, using an unbiased, discovery and quantitative proteomic approach. A total of 1,017 proteins were both identified and quantified in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from control, intratracheal LPS (I.T. LPS, 0.1 mg/kg) and intraperitoneal LPS (I.P. LPS, 5 mg/kg) treated mice. The two LPS groups shared 13 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated proteins compared to the control group. Among them, molecules related to bronchial and type II alveolar epithelial cell functions including cell adhesion molecule 1 and surfactant protein B were reduced, whereas lactotransferrin and resistin like alpha involved in lung innate immunity were upregulated in both LPS groups. Proteomic profiling also identified significant differences in BALF proteins between I.T. and I.P. LPS groups. Ingenuity pathway analysis revealed that acute-phase response signaling was activated by both I.T. and I.P. LPS, however, the magnitude of activation is much greater in I.T. LPS group compared to I.P. LPS group. Intriguingly, two canonical signaling pathways, liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor activation and the production of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species in macrophages, were activated by I.T. LPS but suppressed by I.P. LPS. In addition, CXCL15 (also known as lungkine) was also up-regulated by I.T LPS but down-regulated by I.P. LPS. In conclusion, our quantitative discovery-based proteomic approach identified commonalities as well as significant differences in BALF protein expression profiles in LPS-induced direct and indirect lung injury, and importantly, LPS-induced indirect lung injury results in suppression of select components of lung innate immunity, which could contribute to the so-called “immunoparalysis” in sepsis patients.

Project description:The etiology of trauma-hemorrhage shock-induced acute lung injury has been difficult to elucidate due, at least in part, to the inability of in vivo studies to separate the non-injurious pulmonary effects of trauma-hemorrhage from the tissue injurious ones. To circumvent this in vivo limitation, we utilized a model of trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) in which T/HS-lung injury was abrogated by dividing the mesenteric lymph duct. In this way, it was possible to separate the pulmonary injurious response from the non-injurious systemic response to T/HS by comparing the pulmonary molecular response of rats subjected to T/HS which did and did not develop lung injury as well as to non-shocked rats. Utilizing high-density oligonucleotide arrays and treatment group comparisons of whole lung tissue collected at 3 hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period, 139 of the 8,799 assessed genes were differentially expressed. Experiment Overall Design: Four groups of rats (n=3) were studied in order to identify changes in pulmonary gene expression associated with T/HS, both in the presence and absence of lung injury. These included trauma-sham shock (T/SS) rats which had a laparotomy (trauma) but were not subjected to hemorrhagic shock. These rats had no lung injury and served as controls for rats which were subjected to T/HS (laparotomy plus 90 min of shock) and had lung injury. Differences in gene expression between these two groups would represent both the effects of hemorrhagic shock as well as lung injury. To distinguish the gene response of hemorrhagic shock from the gene response associated with lung injury, gene expression was also compared between T/HS rats (hemorrhage and lung injury) and rats subjected to T/HS plus lymph duct ligation (T/HS-LDL), since the T/HS-LDL rats experienced hemorrhagic shock but had no measurable lung injury. Lastly, to identify hemorrhagic shock- modified genes, the pulmonary gene response of T/HS-LDL (hemorrhage without lung injury) were compared to rats subjected to T/SS plus LDL (no hemorrhage or lung injury). Three hours after the end of the 90 min shock or sham-shock period (i.e. 4.5 hrs after the induction of T/HS), the rats were sacrificed and specimens harvested for genechip analysis and histology.

Project description:Injury of the lung epithelium is one of the initial events driving acute lung diseases such as acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Repeated epithelial injury followed by aberrant repair leads to fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition and is therefore considered as the major cause of chronic pulmonary diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In vitro models as well as in vivo animal models are necessary to investigate early disease mechanisms and altered signalling pathways of epithelial cells. One way to target specific cells is the diphtheria toxin receptor/diphtheria toxin (DTR/DT) system. The human DTR (hDTR) is sensitive to DT, thereby inducing cell death by blocking protein synthesis, while the murine DTR is at least 10^5 times more resistant to DT. Consequently, expression of the hDTR and application of DT lead to targeted cell depletion. Therefore, a novel and flexible DTR/DT model of acute epithelial lung injury was established and described recently, which is driven by adeno-associated virus (AAV) variant 6.2 mediated hDTR expression. The AAV6.2 vector transduces specifically into bronchial epithelial and alveolar epithelial type II cells leading to their depletion after DT administration. In this study we analysed the bulk lung proteome of the recently established AAV-DTR/DT mouse model of acute epithelial lung injury, providing a detailed insight into proteomic changes upon injury. Frozen pulverized lung tissue samples (~10 mg per sample) from AAV-stuffer control (1 E11 viral genome, n=7) and AAV-hDTR (0.3 E11 viral genome, n=7) treated mice 24 h after intratracheal application of 100 ng DT were analysed in a TMTpro-based workflow. TMTpro-labelled peptides were fractionated into 24 fractions using off-line high pH reversed phase chromatography. Fractions were analysed on an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer in combination with the FAIMS Pro Interface (Thermo Scientific) using a SPS-MS3 based method including real-time search.
