The P2Y14/UDP-Glucose pathway is a therapeutic target for ischemic AKI


ABSTRACT: Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), a complication that frequently occurs in hospital settings, is often associated with hemodynamic compromise, sepsis, cardiac surgery or exposure to nephrotoxicants. AKI is associated with immune cell infiltration into the kidney stroma, which causes acute tubular injury.  Here, using a murine renal ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) model we show that intercalated cells (ICs) rapidly adopt a pro-inflammatory phenotype post IRI. During the early phase of AKI, we demonstrate that either blocking the pro-inflammatory P2Y14 receptor located on the apical membrane of ICs, or ablation of the gene encoding the P2Y14 receptor in ICs: 1) inhibits IRI-induced chemokine expression increase in ICs; 2) reduces neutrophil and monocyte renal infiltration; 3) reduces the extent of kidney dysfunction; and 4) attenuates proximal tubule (PT) damage. These observations indicate that the P2Y14 receptor participates in the very first inflammatory steps associated with ischemic AKI. In addition, we show that the concentration of the P2Y14 receptor ligand, uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc), is higher in urine samples from intensive care unit patients who developed AKI when compared with urine from patients without AKI. In particular, we observed a strong correlation between UDP-Glc concentration and the development of AKI in cardiac surgery patients. Our study identifies the UDP-Glc/P2Y14 receptor axis as a potential target for the prevention and/or attenuation of ischemic-AKI.
