Project description:Tubular injury and peripheral fibroblast activation are the hallmarks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal fibrosis, suggesting intimate communication between the two diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined. Exosomes play a role in shuttling proteins and other materials to recipient cells. In our study, we found that tubular cell-derived exosomes were aroused by β-catenin in kidney fibrogenesis. Osteopontin (OPN), especially its N-terminal fragments (N-OPN), was encapsulated in β-catenin-controlled tubular cell-derived exosome cargo, and subsequently passed to fibroblasts. Through binding with CD44, exosomal OPN promoted fibroblast proliferation and activation. Gene deletion of β-catenin in tubular cells (Ksp-β-catenin−/−) or gene ablation of CD44 (CD44−/−) greatly ameliorated renal fibrosis. Notably, N-OPN was secreted by exosome into the urine of patients with CKD, and negatively correlated with kidney function. The urinary exosomes from patients with CKD greatly accelerated renal fibrosis, which was blocked by CD44 deletion. These results suggest that exosome-mediated activation of the OPN/CD44 axis plays a key role in renal fibrosis, which is controlled by β-catenin.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by sustained inflammation and progressive fibrosis, however therapies to slow CKD progression are limited. Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) as a novel post-translational modification is widespread as acetylation (Kac), but its roles in CKD are largely unknown. In the study, we firstly reported that the nuclear histone Kcr in tubular epithelial cells was significantly elevated in fibrotic kidney of patients and mice, which was positively correlated with the progression of disease. Interestingly, abnormal increase of histone 3 lysine 9 crotonylation (H3K9cr) in kidneys of unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO) and folic acid nephropathy (FAN) was completely different to the stable expression of H3K9ac, indicating that H3K9cr may exert extraordinary functions in kidney fibrosis. By screening these crotonylated/acetylated factors, crotonyl-CoA-producing enzyme ACSS2 (acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 2) remarkably promoted H3K9cr without influencing H3K9ac to trigger proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β transcription. Furthermore, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of ACSS2 both attenuated kidney injury and fibrosis, as well as suppressed H3K9cr-mediated IL-1β expression, which thus to alleviate IL-1β-dependent macrophage activation and tubular cell senescence. Collectively, our finding uncovers that H3K9cr plays a critical, previously unrecognized role in kidney fibrosis, where ACSS2 represents an attractive target for strategies that aim to slow fibrotic kidney disease progression

Project description:A microarray analysis with renal biopsy specimens from CKD patients was conducted in order to identify the responsible genes associated with tubulointerstitial fibrosis and tubular cell injury in CKD. This study showed microarray profiles in total 53 biopsy specimens of CKD patients. In the discovery set, 554 down-regulated and 226 up-regulated signatures were identified. Then, the expressional changes of these genes were examined in the validation set. Gene expression profiles in human chronic kidney disease was explored using renal biopsy specimens. Two independent studies: discovery set and validation set were performed. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:In chronic kidney disease (CKD) and with ageing, individuals lose regenerative capacity after renal injury and are predisposed to progressive fibrosis and cardiovascular disease. With ageing and CKD increased numbers of activated leukocytes are present in the circulation and within the kidney where they correlate with progressive fibrosis. The potential role of activated leukocytes in mediating progressive renal and systemic fibrosis remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) released with injury and aging promotes renal and cardiac fibrosis. We identify a Ubiquitin D expressing population of TNFa induced inflammatory proximal tubular epithelia (iPT) responsible for Indian Hedgehog release in aged and fibrotic kidneys. Indian Hedgehog production by iPT cells activates canonical Hedgehog signalling in Gli1+ stromal cells leading to activation, proliferation and fibrosis deposition. Our data links the immune activation seen in aging and chronic kidney disease to cardio-renal fibrosis. This provides multiple targets for antifibrotic therapies which we validate in murine models of aging and kidney disease.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a burden for Public Health and concerns millions of individuals worldwide. Independently of the cause, CKD is secondary to the replacement of functional renal tissue by extra-cellular matrix proteins (i.e fibrosis) that progressively impairs kidney function. The pathophysiological pathways that control the development of renal fibrosis are common to most of the nephropathies involving native kidneys or kidney grafts. Unfortunately, very few treatments are available to stop renal fibrosis and most of the therapeutic strategies are often barely able to slow down the progression of fibrogenesis in native kidneys. Therefore, it is mandatory to discover new therapeutic pathways to stop renal fibrosis. Our objective is to study new pathways involved in renal fibrosis. We thus decided to use the model of Unilateral Ureteral renal Obstruction in mice, a fast and reproducible experimental model of renal fibrosis. We studied renal fibrosis using experimental model of ureteral unilateral obstruction in mice, which was performed by complete ligation of the left ureter. The control lateral right kidney served as internal control.

Project description:Incomplete repair after acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with progressive loss of tubular cell function and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we compared the kidney single-cell transcriptomes from the mice subjected to either unilateral ischemia-reperfusion kidney injury with contralateral nephrectomy (IRI/CL-NX, in which tubule repair predominates) or unilateral IRI with contralateral kidney intact (U-IRI, in which fibrosis and atrophy predominates) to investigate the mechanism(s) underlying transition to CKD following AKI.

Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of risk factor to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that is the major causes of death in the world. Furthermore, CS is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general adult population. The goal of this project was to identified the mechanisms of renal damage that might be associated with exposure to CS extract (CSE) in human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2 cells) cells.

Project description:Systemic iron metabolism is disrupted in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, little is known about local kidney iron homeostasis and its role in kidney fibrosis. Kidney-specific effects of iron therapy in CKD also remain elusive. Here, we elucidate the role of macrophage iron status in kidney fibrosis and demonstrate that it is a potential therapeutic target. In CKD, kidney macrophages exhibited depletion of labile iron pool (LIP) and induction of transferrin receptor 1, indicating intracellular iron deficiency. Low LIP in kidney macrophages was associated with their defective antioxidant response and proinflammatory polarization. Repletion of LIP in kidney macrophages through knockout of ferritin heavy chain (Fth1) reduced oxidative stress and mitigated fibrosis. Similar to Fth1 knockout, iron dextran therapy, through replenishing macrophage LIP, reduced oxidative stress, decreased the production of proinflammatory cytokines, and alleviated kidney fibrosis. Interestingly, iron markedly decreased TGF-β expression and suppressed TGF-β–driven fibrotic response of macrophages. Iron dextran therapy and FtH suppression had an additive protective effect against fibrosis. Adoptive transfer of iron-loaded macrophages alleviated kidney fibrosis, validating the protective effect of iron-replete macrophages in CKD. Thus, targeting intracellular iron deficiency of kidney macrophages in CKD can serve as a therapeutic opportunity to mitigate disease progression.
