Project description:Aristolochic acid (AA) is a major ingredient in several Chinese herbs that exhibits a wide range of pharmacological effects. Recently, clinical reports and experimental studies have demonstrated that AA causes renal toxicities, acute renal failure and interstitial fibrosis.However, the molecular mechanism underlying AA nephrotoxicity is not yet fully understood. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells isolated from early embryos, which have highly undifferentiated potential and are capable of differentiating into all kinds of body tissues and organs. It has been reported that ESCs are sensitive to drug stimulation, and thus may serve as important tools for in vitro assessment of drug toxicity. We aimed to identify accurate biomarkers of AA-induced renal toxicity on ESCs. Genomics analysis was performed to screen the changes in gene expression levels of ESCs following treatment with AA, in order to determine the potential biological processes in which AA induces renal toxicity.

Project description:Aristolochic acid (AA) is a nephrotoxic carcinogen responsible for acute kidney injury, chronic renal failure, and associated urothelial cancers. This study aims to determine the genes in xenobiotic metabolism pathway regulated by AA and clarify the molecular mechanism underlying their action.

Project description:Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a kidney injury syndrome caused by aristolochic acids exposure, with unknown mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Our study used label-free quantitative proteomics to delineate renal protein profiles and identify key proteins after exposure to different doses of aristolochic acid I (AAI). Male C57BL/6 mice received AAI (1.25 mg/kg/d, 2.5 mg/kg/d, or 5 mg/kg/d) or vehicle for 5 days. The results showed that AAI induced dose-dependent nephrotoxicity. Differences in renal protein profiles between the control and AAI groups increased with AAI dose. Comparing the control with the low-, medium-, and high-dose AAI groups, we found 58, 210, and 271 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), respectively. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction network analysis identified acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 3 (Acsm3), cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (Cyp2e1), microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1 (Mgst1), and fetuin B (Fetub) as the key proteins. Proteomics revealed that AAI decreased Acsm3 and Cyp2e1 while increasing Mgst1 and Fetub expression in mice kidneys, which was further confirmed by Western blotting. Collectively, in AAI-induced nephrotoxicity, renal protein profiles were dysregulated and exacerbated with increasing AAI dose. Acsm3, Cyp2e1, Mgst1, and Fetub may be the potential therapeutic targets for AAN.

Project description:This study presents a comprehensive multi-omic analysis of upper urinary tract urothelial tumours (UTUC) and urines of patients with past exposure to carcinogenic aristolochic acid (AA). We determined complex miRNA:mRNA tumor networks and their key protein components. Tumor exome and transcriptome sequencing revealed a burden of AA-specific mutations in UTUC and identified deleteriously mutated genes and their mRNA transcripts. A subset of identified urinary miRNAs presents potential biomarkers of UTUC development or presence. Recurrent upper urinary tract carcinomas (UTUC) arise in the context of nephropathy linked to exposure to the herbal carcinogen aristolochic acid (AA). We aimed to delineate the detailed biological programs underlying UTUC tumorigenesis in patients from endemic aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) regions in Southern Europe, by using an integrative multi-omics analysis of UTUCs, corresponding unaffected tissues and of patient urines. Quantitative miRNA and mRNA expression profiling, immunohistochemical analysis by tissue microarrays, and exome and transcriptome sequencing were performed in UTUC and non-tumor tissues. Urinary miRNAsof cases undergoing surgery were profiled before and after UTUC resection. RNA and protein levels were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests and trend assessment. Dedicated bioinformatic tools were used for analysis of pathways, mutational signatures and result visualization. The results delineate UTUC-specific miRNA:mRNA networks comprising 89 miRNAs associated with 1862 target mRNAs and involving deregulation of cell cycle, DNA damage response, DNA repair, bladder cancer, oncogenes, tumor suppressors, chromatin structure regulators and developmental signaling pathways. Key UTUC-specific transcriptome components were confirmed at the protein level. Exome and transcriptome sequencing of UTUC revealed AA-specific COSMIC mutational signature 22, with 68-76% AA-specific, deleterious mutations propagated at the mRNA level. We next identified a signature of UTUC-specific miRNAs consistently more abundant in the patients’ urine prior to tumor resection. The gene regulation programs of AAN-associated UTUC tumors are highly complex and involve regulatory miRNAs prospectively applicable to non-invasive urine-based screening of AAN patients for cancer recurrence.

Project description:The proximal tubule is particularly susceptible to acute kidney injury caused by ischemic or toxic insults, due to its high oxygen demand, and role in excreting drugs such as DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics. AKI triggers PT cell de-differentiation, expression or pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic signaling molecules, and a dramatic shift in PT cell metabolism with severe suppression of fatty acid oxidation. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptional changes that occur in the S2 and S3 segments of the PT in response to the DNA damaging agent aristolochic acid I (AAI).
