Interleukin-1 accounts for intrarenal Th17 cell activation during ureteral obstruction.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin 17A-secreting T-helper 17 (Th17) cells are pathogenic in inflammatory kidney diseases, but their intrarenal regulation is poorly understood. In order to better define Th17 cell dynamics during interstitial inflammation, we utilized the mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction model to analyze inflammatory cell subtypes by multicolor flow cytometry and cell sorting and by effects on in vitro-generated Th17 cells. Interleukin 17A expression localized to CCR6(+)CCR4(+/-)CD4(+) T-cells and progressively increased in obstructed kidneys. The number of CCR6(+)CD4(+) T-cells increased over 10-fold by 72?h, were enriched for interleukin 17A production, and were highly proliferative based on in vivo bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Secreted products of leukocytes isolated from obstructed kidneys enhanced the interleukin 17A production of in vitro-generated Th17 cells. This Th17-enhancing activity was identified as interleukin-1 produced by renal dendritic cells and monocytes. The in vivo validity of these findings was confirmed in mice lacking the interleulin-1 receptor and in mice treated with a recombinant interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, each of which exhibited reduced intrarenal Th17 activity compared with control mice. Thus, the inflamed kidney accumulates CCR6(+) Th17 cells that undergo activation and proliferation. Production of interleukin 1 family cytokines by resident dendritic cells and infiltrating monocytes enhances intrarenal Th17 activation in acute kidney injury.

Project description:BackgroundUreteral obstruction caused by extrinsic compression is often associated with intra-abdominal cancers. Internal drainage with ureteral stents is typically the first-line therapy to relieve such obstructions. Novel designs of ureteral stents made of different materials have been invented to achieve better drainage. In this study, we described the functional outcomes of a Resonance metallic ureteral stent (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana, USA) in patients with malignant ureteral obstruction and compare the functional duration of Resonance stents with regular polymeric stents in the same cohort.MethodsCancer patients who received polymeric stents and subsequent Resonance stents for ureteral obstruction between July 2009 and November 2012 were included in a chart review. Stent failure was detected by clinical symptoms, imaging studies, and renal function tests. The functional durations of each stent were calculated, and possible factors affecting stent patency were investigated.ResultsA total of 50 stents were successfully inserted into 50 ureteral units in 42 patients with malignant ureteral obstruction. There were 7 antegrade stents and 43 retrograde stents. There were no major complications. Stent-related symptoms were similar in both kinds of stents. After polymeric stents were replaced with Resonance metallic stents, hydronephrosis subsided or remained stable in 90% (45/50) of the ureteral units. Serum creatinine decreased or remained stable in 90% (38/42) of these patients. The Resonance stent exhibited a mean increase in functional duration of 4 months compared with the polymeric stents (p<0.0001), and 50% (25/50) of the Resonance stents exhibited a significant increase in functional duration (more than 3 months). Pre-operative serum creatinine < 2 was associated with a substantial increase in stent duration.ConclusionsResonance stents are effective and safe in relieving malignant ureteral obstructions after polymeric stents failure. Resonance stents can provide a longer functional duration than polymeric stents and should be offered as an option for internal drainage.
