Project description:8 week-old male C57BL6J mice were given Gram-negative endotoxin (LPS O111:B4, 10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally at time 0. 18 hrs thereafter, they were administered 10 ml/kg 0.9% saline. Mice were sacrificed at 0, 18, or 42 hrs after LPS challenge. Kidneys were immediately collected into TRIzol for RNA preparation. Renal function was measured on blood collected at the time of tissue harvest At t=0hr, mice had normal baseline renal function. At t=18hr, mice exhibited early renal injury, At t=42hr, mice had either recovered normal renal function or had persistent renal injury. We collected kidneys from 3 mice per time point. For the 42 hr time point, we collected kidneys from 3 mice with recovered renal function and kidneys from 3 mice with persistent renal injury.

Project description:Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis is the most frequent cause of crescentic glomerulonephritis. Histopathologic features and clinical course of the disease are diverse and judgment of disease activity is often limited due to the lack of reliable activity markers. In order to define potentially new molecular or cellular markers in the kidney which may predict clinical outcome, we performed microarray analyses of renal biopsies from patients with ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. We correlated expression profiles with clinical data from our prospective study of patients with renal ANCA disease. The CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) was one of the most up-regulated proteins in kidneys of patients with ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. CCL18 producing cells in the kidneys were identified as CD68 and CD209 positive myeloid dendritic cells. The density of CCL18 positive cells correlated with the severity of acute tubular injury and with the impairment of renal function. CCL18 protein levels were elevated in serum samples of patients with renal ANCA disease when compared with patients with non- ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis. Persistence of high CCL18 serum levels correlated with impairment of renal function and the risk of relapsing disease. Therefore, CCL18 might serve as a marker for persistent disease activity and renal relapses in ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Project description:Congenital obstructive nephropathy is a common cause of chronic kidney disease and a leading indication for renal transplant in children. The cellular and molecular responses of the kidney to congenital obstruction are incompletely characterized. In this study, we evaluated global transcription in kidneys with graded hydronephrosis in the megabladder (mgb-/-) mouse to better understand the pathophysiology of congenital obstructive nephropathy. Three primary pathways associated with kidney remodeling/repair were induced in mgb-/- kidneys independent of the degree of hydronephrosis. These pathways included retinoid signaling, steroid hormone metabolism, and renal response to injury. Urothelial proliferation and the expression of genes with roles in the integrity and maintenance of the renal urothelium were selectively increased in mgb-/- kidneys. Ngal/Lcn2, a marker of acute kidney injury, was elevated in 36% of kidneys with higher grades of hydronephrosis. Evaluation of Ngalhigh versus Ngallow kidneys identified the expression of several novel candidate markers of renal injury. This study indicates that the development of progressive hydronephrosis in mgb-/- mice results in renal adaptation that includes significant changes in the morphology and potential functionality of the renal urothelium. These observations will permit the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic approaches to progressive renal injury in the context of congenital obstruction. Gene expression was measured in control, mild, moderate and severely hydronephrotic megabladder mouse kidneys. A total of 6 control kidneys were compared to 18 mutant kidneys from age-matched male animals.

Project description:Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) causes acute kidney injury (AKI) with high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to ameliorate kidney IR injury and identify novel biomarkers for kidney injury and repair. Methods: Left renal ischemia was induced in rats by clamping renal artery for 45 minutes, followed by reperfusion and right nephrectomy. Thirty minutes prior to ischemia, rats (n=8/group) received Valproic Acid (150 mg/kg; VPA), Dexamethasone (3 mg/kg; Dex) or Vehicle (Saline) intraperitoneally. Animals were sacrificed at 3h, 24h or 120h post- IR and blood, urine and kidney were collected. Results: Serum creatinine (mg/dL) at 24 h IR in VPA (2.7±1.8) and Dex (2.3±1.2) was reduced (P<0.05) compared to Vehicle (3.8±0.5). At 3h post-IR, urine albumin (mg/ml) was higher in Vehicle (1.47±0.10), VPA (0.84±0.62) and Dex (1.04±0.73) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.14±0.26) group. At 24h post-IR urine Lipocalin-2 (µg/ml) was significantly higher (P<0.05) in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (9.61-11.36) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.67±o.29); also, Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1; ng/ml) was significantly higher in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (13.7-18.7) compared uninjured/untreated control (1.7±1.9). KIM-1 levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all groups compared to uninjured/untreated control levels. Histopathology at 3h post IR demonstrated (P<0.05) reduction in ischemic injury in the renal cortex in VPA (Grade 1.6± 1.5) compared to Vehicle (Grade 2.9±1.1) group. Inflammatory cytokines IL1β and IL6 were down-regulated in VPA and Dex groups. BCL2 was higher in VPA group. DNA microarray analysis demonstrated reduced stress response and injury, and improved recovery related gene expression in the kidneys of VPA treated animals. Conclusions: VPA administration reduced kidney IR injury and improved regeneration. KIM-1 and Lipocalin-2 appear to be promising early urine biomarkers of acute ischemic kidney injury. We had three experimental groups. Group A, VPA treatment; Group B, Dexamethasone treatment; and Group C, No treatment (vehicle saline control). Treatments were administered prior to the induction of left renal ischemia. Animals underwent 45 minutes of left renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion, and right nephrectomy as described above. Following reperfusion, animals were sacrificed at 3, 24 or 120 hours (n=8/group). In the 3 hour group, rats were maintained under anesthesia after surgery until sacrifice. In the 24 and 120 hour groups, the rats were recovered and returned to the cages for normal housing. Analgesic buprenorphine (0.05mg/kg) was administered every 12 h for three days post-operatively. After animal sacrifice, urine, blood, and kidney were collected for kidney functional biomarker assays, histology and / or molecular analyses. Urine was obtained via cystocentesis and blood was obtained via the left renal vein. Tissue and urine samples collected from normal (naïve) animals (n=5) were used for baseline measurements. A subset of 46 animals (n = 4-5 per group) were selected for microarray analysis.

Project description:Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) are endogenous inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). While TIMP2 and TIMP3 inhibit MMPs, TIMP3 also inhibits activation of pro-MMP2 whereas TIMP2 promotes it. Here we assessed the differential role of TIMP2 and TIMP3 in renal injury using the unilateral ureteral obstruction model. Gene microarray assay showed that post-obstruction, the lack of TIMP3 had a greater impact on gene expression of intermediate, late injury- and repair-induced transcripts, kidney selective transcripts and solute carriers. Renal injury in TIMP3-/-, but not in TIMP2-/- mice increased expression of collagen type I/III, connective tissue growth factor, transforming growth factor-β and the downstream Smad2/3 pathway. Interestingly, ureteral obstruction markedly increased MMP2 activation in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- mice which was completely blocked in the kidneys of TIMP2-/- mice. These changes are consistent with enhanced renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in TIMP3-/- and its reduction in TIMP2-/- mice. The activity of tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme, caspase-3 and mitogen activated kinases were elevated in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- but not TIMP2-/- mice, suggesting enhanced activation of apoptotic and pathological signaling pathways only in the obstructed kidney of TIMP3-/- mice. Thus, TIMP2 and TIMP3 play differential and contrasting roles in renal injury, TIMP3 protects from damage whereas TIMP2 promotes injury through MMP2 activation.

Project description:TLR4 deficiency attenuates kidney injury after ischemic reperfusion as measured by both renal function and morphology. To better understand the role of TLR4 during the acute kidney injury, we used DNA microarray to identify genes that were differentially expressed on kidneys in wildtype B10 mice and TLR4 null mice during the early stage of injury. A murine ischemic reperfusion injury model was established. After right nephrectomy, the left pedicle was clamped for 23min followed by 4hr reperfusion. Sham mice were used as controls. 6 WT males and 6 TLR4 null males were included with 3 ischemic and 3 shams in each group.

Project description:Our previous study has showed Ten-eleven translocation (Tet2) gene expression as well as the global 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) level were reduced significantly in mouse kidney insulted by ischemia reperfusion (IR). Here, we investigate the functional role of Tet2 in renal IR injury. We constructed renal IR injury model in wild type and Tet2 knockout (KO) mice. Serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were examined to evaluate renal function. HE staining and renal injury biomarkers were tested to confirm the degree of injury. Microarray analysis of mRNA expression levels was carried out to gain mechanistic insightinto the role of Tet2. We used microarrays to profile the transcriptomes of the kidneys from wildtype and Tet2 KO mice.

Project description:Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a severe and life-threatening condi-tion with high morbidity and mortality among emergency patients, and it poses a sig-nificant risk of chronic renal failure. Clinical treatments for SA-AKI remain reactive and non-specific, lacking effective diagnostic biomarkers or treatment targets. In this study, we established an SA-AKI mouse model using LPS and performed proteomics and metabolomics analyses. A variety of bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Set En-richment Analysis (GSEA), Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), protein and protein interactions (PPI), and MetaboAnalyst analysis, were conducted to investigate the key molecules of SA-AKI. Proteomics and metabolomics analyses re-vealed that sepsis led to impaired renal mitochondrial function and metabolic disorders. Immune-related pathways were found to be activated in kidneys upon septic infection. The catabolic products of polyamines accumulated in septic kidneys. Overall, our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of SA-AKI and identifies potential pathways for this condition.
