Project description:Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) calathide is becoming more well-known as a result of its anti-hyperuricemia bioactivity. Aiming at developing anti-hyperuricemic ingredients in sunflower calathide extract (SCE), we were fortunate to discover abietic acid (AA), identified from SCE, has the capacity to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity at low concentrations (IC50 = 10.60 µM and inhibition constant was 193.5 nM) that examined by inhibitor screening experiment in vitro and computer-simulated molecular docking. To further explore the anti-hyperuricemia effects, the UA-stimulated human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells were evaluated as a conceivable model in the current study. The huge amounts of high-throughput sequencing data, which mapping to reference genome, were analyzed by bioinformatics approaches: Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) along with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Interestingly, the purine metabolism-related genes expressed in the AA treatment were nearly opposite to that of the UA group, indicating negative feedback regulations that AA perhaps contributes to maintain urate homeostasis in the high UA-exposed kidney cellular environment. Here, we consider that HEK293T cells ought to be an achievable in vitro model for UA metabolism research because the PNPase, PRPS1, PRPS2, and RPIA, which participate in UA generation, widely expressed in the untreated 293T cells as well. And AA markedly suppressed the PNPase, PRPS2, and RPIA expressed in UA-stimulated 293T cells, implying inhibitions for UA biosynthesis. As a result, AA not only inhibited xanthine oxidase activity efficiently but also regulated genes PNPase, PRPS2, and RPIA. It is promising to be developed as an inhibitor against hyperuricemia. Therefore, abietic acid, which could be isolated from plants, has the potential for anti-hyperuricemia, and the current study provided a precedent for pharmacology analysis of natural ingredients.

Project description:Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism, the prevalence of which has increased worldwide. Here, a 3D organoid culture system for mimicking HUA in vitro was established using cultured human liver organoids. Liver organoids can be generated from single hepatocytes and passaged for several months, retaining key morphological features, functional purine metabolism and global gene expression profile. Furthermore, organoids can be differentiated into hepatocytes with high expression of maturation markers including HNF4α, E-cadherin, and ALB. Importantly, organoids can produce high level of uric acid after xanthine induction which is the substrate of xanthine oxidase. Furthermore, the preclinical application potential of this organoid model was verified by measuring the anti-hyperuricemic effect of the widely used allopurinol, as well as the reported bioactive substance puerarin. The results demonstrate that this novel organoid model could be used for high-throughput screening of both chemical and food-derived compounds with antihyperuricemic bioactivity.

Project description:Natural flavonoid pectolinarigenin (PEC) was reported to alleviate tubulointerstitial fibrosis of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice in our previous study. To further investigate nephroprotective effects of PEC in hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN), adenine and potassium oxonate induced HN mice and uric acid-treated mouse kidney epithelial (TCMK-1) cells were employed in the study. As a result, PEC significantly lowered serum uric acid level and restored hyperuricemia-related kidney injury in HN mice. Meanwhile, PEC alleviated inflammation, fibrosis and reduced adipokine FABP4 content in the kidneys of HN mice and uric acid-treated TCMK-1 cells. Mechanistically, PEC inhibited the TGF-β1 expression as well as the phosphorylation of transcription factor SMAD3 and STAT3 to regulate the corresponding inflammatory and fibrotic gene expression in kidney tissues. In conclusion, our results suggested that PEC could inhibit the activation of SMAD3 and STAT3 signaling to suppress inflammation and fibrosis, thereby alleviate HN in mice.

Project description:Increased plasma uric acid (hyperuricemia) has been associated with worse outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD). But some attempts to control uric acid (UA) in large-cohort clinical trials did not produce clinically meaningful benefits for CKD. Some studies suggest that only hyperuricemia with crystals, but not asymptomatic hyperuricemia promotes the progression of CKD. Salt-sensitivity (SS) in blood pressure is a prevalent trait that is sexually dimorphic and results in kidney damage. But the connection between hyperuricemia and SS hypertension (HTN) is still unclear. Here we tested the connection between the two using both male and female Dahl SS rats, a well-establish model of SS HTN. We hypothesized that mild asymptomatic hyperuricemia is beneficial in controlling the progression of SS HTN. A uricase inhibitor, oxonic acid (2%) (Oxo) was used to induce hyperuricemia and high-salt (HS) (4% NaCl) diet was used to induce SS HTN. After 3 weeks, in response to oxonic acid supplementation, both sexes showed a significant increase of UA in plasma compared to their respective HS-only controls (Males: 0.63 ±0.07 vs. 2.17 ±0.34; Females: 0.78 ±0.15 vs. 2.04 ±0.35 mg/dl, HS vs. HS/oxo). Interestingly, only male HS/oxo rats showed a significant increase in uricosuria (Males: 0.23 ±0.03 vs. 0.45 ±0.06; Femaels: 0.26 ±0.06 vs. 0.26 ±0.001 UA/Cre, HS vs. HS/oxo). Moreover, the mild hyperuricemia was associated with a significant attenuation of the progression and magnitude of the mean arterial pressure in male but not female rats (Males: 157 ±3 vs. 136 ±3; Females: 155 ±6 vs. 154 ±5 mmHg, HS vs. HS/oxo). Xanthine oxidase (XO) is one of the enzymes that produce UA, and its activity has been shown to affect HTN as well. Therefore, we examined the level of XO activity in the plasma after the treatment. While there was no difference in the activity based on the diet within each sex, females had significantly lower levels of XO activity compared to males in each of the diets. To further investigate the beneficial phenotype seen in male rats, we evaluate changes in the progression of renal pathology. The HS/oxo group compared to the HS group had a lower kidney weight/body weight ratio and lower protein cast accumulation, indicating lower kidney damage. Furthermore, the HS/Oxo treated males had less oxidative damage in their tubules than the HS-only males. Bulk-RNA seq done on the male kidneys revealed that attenuated HTN phenotype was associated with an increased expression in Mas1 (MAS receptor), Klk-1 (Kallikrein-1), and Pcsk6 (PCSK6 enzyme) which can all lead to the activation of different vasodilatory pathways. Our study showed that in male but not female Dahl SS rats, asymptomatic mild hyperuricemia accompanied by hyperuricosuria ameliorates the progression of SS HTN and protects kidneys from further damage. Thus, our findings challenge the notion of hyperuricemia being inherently detrimental to health and highlight that this is an oversimplified view of UA’s role in disease.

Project description:Hyperuricemia is an essential risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD), while urate-lowering therapy to prevent or delay CKD is controversial. Alternatively activated macrophages in response to local microenvironment play diverse roles in kidney diseases. Here, we aim to investigate whether and how macrophage integrin αM (ITGAM) contributes to hyperuricemia-related CKD. In vivo, we explored dynamic characteristics of renal tissue in C57BL/6J mice with hyperuricemia-related CKD. By incorporating transcriptomics and phosphoproteomics data, we analyzed gene expression profile, hub genes and potential pathways. In vitro, we validated bioinformatic findings under different conditions with interventions corresponding to core nodes. We found that hyperuricemia-related CKD was characterized by elevated serum uric acid levels, impaired renal function, activation of macrophage alternative (M2) polarization, and kidney fibrosis. Integrated bioinformatic analyses revealed Itgam as the potential core gene and was associated with focal adhesion signaling. Notably, we confirmed the upregulated expression of macrophage ITGAM, activated pathway, and macrophage M2 polarization in injured kidneys. In vitro, through silencing Itgam, inhibiting p-FAK or p-AKT1 phosphorylation, and concurrent inhibiting of p-FAK while activating p-AKT1 all contributed to the modulation of macrophage M2 polarization. Our results indicated targeting macrophage ITGAM might be a promising therapeutic approach for preventing CKD.

Project description:To further examine the mechanisms of urate in islet β-cell death, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish primacy of streptozotocin (STZ) vs. urate. Islets were isolated from Uox-KO and WT mice with and without multiple low-dose STZ. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in islets of the hyperuricemic and/or diabetic mice in comparison to their respective controls represented specific Gene Ontology (GO) pathways and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional meanings.
