Tubular MYDGF slows the progression of chronic kidney disease by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key event in driving maladaptive repair of tubular epithelial cells during the transition from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, identifying the potential targets involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in tubular epithelial cells has clinical importance. Although our previous studies demonstrated that myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) derived from podocyte attenuated glomerular injury by inhibiting mitotic catastrophe of podocyte, the function of MYDGF in tubular epithelial cells still keeps unknown. In this study, we found that MYDGF expression was significantly decreased in the cortex of kidney, especially in proximal tubules, from mice with CKD. Notably, the downregulation of MYDGF was further confirmed in renal tubules from CKD subjects. Tubule-specific deletion of MYDGF exacerbated kidney injury in mice with CKD. However, overexpression of MYDGF attenuated kidney fibrosis by remodeling mitochondrial homeostasis in tubular epithelial cells. Mechanistically, renal tubule MYDGF positively regulated the expression of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), then restoring mitochondrial homeostasis and slowed the progression of CKD. Thus, our studies indicate that MYDGF derived from tubules may be an effective innovative therapeutic strategy for patients with CKD.

Ptprz Signaling, Tubule and Macrophage-Mediated Renal Injury and Subsequent Chronic Kidney Disease [TECs]

Project description:Background: Macrophages and tubular epithelial cell interactions are integral in kidney ischemia-incited interstitial inflammation leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) triggers tubular epithelial cells to express IL-34, a macrophage growth factor, that promotes AKI and subsequent CKD. IL-34 engages the cognate receptor, c-FMS, expressed by macrophages, and the recently discovered Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Z (Ptprz). Ptprz, binds to multiple ligands other than IL-34 that progressively increase their expression in kidneys after I/R. Methods: We tested the hypothesis that signaling through Ptprz promotes macrophage-mediated AKI and subsequent CKD, by comparing Ptprz knockout (KO) with wild-type (WT) mice after I/R. Results: Ptprz was expressed by leukocytes and in tubular epithelial cells after I/R in mice. Using Ptprz KO mice we determined that during AKI and CKD renal pathology, and loss of renal function were ameliorated. Ptprz-dependent mechanisms mediated: (i) tubular epithelial cell expression of chemokines that fostered macrophage and T cell rich renal inflammation, and (ii) tubule injury and apoptosis, that resulted in the loss of tubules and interstitial fibrosis during CKD. As macrophages release mediators that induce tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, thus Ptprz-dependent mechanisms promote tubule damage. These findings are translational, as after I/R in human kidney transplants, PTPRZ and PTPRZ ligands were upregulated and expressed by the same cell populations as in mice. Moreover, PTPRZ levels in sera were elevated in kidney transplant patients. Conclusion: Intra-renal Ptprz-dependent macrophage and tubular epithelial cell mediated mechanisms promote AKI and subsequent CKD.

Strategic timing of contralateral nephrectomy after ischemic AKI prevents CKD by enhancing epithelial progenitor proliferation while attenuating polyploidization

Project description:Kidneys have a limited ability to self-repair, and their response to injury not seldomly leads to chronic kidney disease (CKD). An intriguing phenomenon of successful recovery is observed in models of unilateral acute kidney injury (AKI) upon contralateral nephrectomy. Here we aimed to better understand the cellular mechanisms of this enhanced reparative effect.In a time-course study with different nephrectomy delay times, we found that the most effective rescue after injury was observed when contralateral nephrectomy was performed early during AKI in both rats and mice. This timely intervention led to full functional recovery and attenuation of tubular atrophy, fibrosis, and inflammation, averting AKI-to-CKD transition. Morphometry of histopathology using pathomics revealed distinct trajectories of structural alterations of kidney tubules, distinguishing between atrophy and repair, as adaptive signatures. These responses were corroborated by transcriptomics analysis, which indicated improved cellular energy metabolism after nephrectomy. Lineage tracing of tubular progenitor cells showed that nephrectomy robustly stimulated their clonal expansion, surpassing the levels observed during spontaneous self-repair. Live cell cycle/DNA-content analysis of tubular cells demonstrated a robust polyploid response immediately after the ischemic insult, and revealed that nephrectomy attenuated long term tubular cell polyploidization, a contributor to CKD. Altogether, our data revealed that early timing of nephrectomy in experimental AKI induces an efficient repair response, involving tubular epithelial regeneration while counteracting the progression towards CKD.

Inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase promotes the reprogramming of Sox9+ renal progenitor cells and renal regeneration

Project description:Mammalian kidney has very limited ability to repair or regenerate after acute kidney injury (AKI). The maladaptive repair of AKI promotes the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore new strategies to promote the repair/regeneration of injured renal tubules after AKI. It has been shown that hypoxia induces heart regeneration in adult mice. However, it is unknown whether hypoxia can induce kidney regeneration after AKI. In this study, we used a prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitor (PHDI), MK-8617, to mimic hypoxia condition and found that MK-8617 significantly ameliorates ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) induced acute kidney injury. We then showed that MK-8617 dramatically facilitates renal regeneration via promoting the proliferation of injured renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) after IRI-induced AKI. We then performed bulk mRNA sequencing and discovered that multiple nephrogenesis- related genes were significantly upregulated with MK-8617 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that MK-8617 may alleviate proximal tubule injury via stabilizing HIF-1α protein specifically in renal proximal tubular cells. We also demonstrated that MK-8617 promotes the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells, and the regeneration of renal proximal tubules. In summary, we discovered that inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase improves renal proximal tubule regeneration after IRI-induced AKI via promoting the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells.

VCAM-1 mediates proximal tubule-immune cell cross talk in failed tubule recovery during AKI-to-CKD transition

Project description:Studies in animal models have suggested a linkage between the inflammatory response to injury and subsequent nephron loss during the acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. Failure of normal repair during the CKD transition correlates with de novo expression of vascular cell adhesion protein-1 (VCAM-1) by a subset of injured proximal tubule cells. This study identified the role of VCAM-1 expression in promoting the failed repair state. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of patients with AKI and CKD and whole kidney RNA and protein analyses of mouse models of CKD confirmed a marked increase of VCAM-1 expression in the proximal tubules of injured kidneys. In immortalized mouse proximal tubular cells and primary cultured renal cells (PCRCs), VCAM-1 expression was induced by proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Analyses of bulk RNA sequencing of TNF-α-treated primary cultured renal cells or pseudo-bulk RNA sequencing of biopsies from Kidney Precision Medicine Project datasets indicated activation of NF-κB and an enrichment of inflammatory response and cell adhesion pathways in VCAM-1-positive cells. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB signaling or genetic deletion of myeloid differentiation factor 88 and TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β suppressed TNF-α- and IL-1β-induced VCAM-1 expression in vitro. TNF-α stimulation or overexpression of VCAM-1 significantly increased splenocyte adhesion to the mouse proximal tubular monolayer in culture. These results demonstrate that persistence of proinflammatory cytokines after AKI can induce NF-κB-dependent VCAM-1 expression by proximal tubule cells, mediating increased immune cell adhesion to the tubule and thus promoting further tubule injury and greater risk of progression from AKI to CKD.

Immune-mediated Tubule Atrophy Promotes Acute Kidney Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease Transition

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.

OASIS overexpression in murine podocyte cell line

Project description:Podocyte injury is involved in the onset and progression of various kidney diseases. We previously demonstrated that the transcription factor, old astrocyte specifically induced substance (OASIS) in myofibroblasts, contributes to kidney fibrosis, as a novel role of OASIS in the kidneys. Importantly, we found that OASIS is also expressed in podocytes; however, the pathophysiological significance of OASIS in podocytes remains unknown. Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, there is an increase in OASIS in murine podocytes. Enhanced serum creatinine levels and tubular injury, but not albuminuria and podocyte injury, are attenuated upon podocyte-restricted OASIS knockout in LPS-treated mice, as well as diabetic mice. The protective effects of podocyte-specific OASIS deficiency on tubular injury are mediated by protein kinase C iota (PRKCI/PKCι), which is negatively regulated by OASIS in podocytes. Furthermore, podocyte-restricted OASIS transgenic mice show tubular injury and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, with severe albuminuria and podocyte degeneration. Finally, there is an increase in OASIS-positive podocytes in the glomeruli of patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy. Taken together, OASIS in podocytes contributes to podocyte and/or tubular injury, in part through decreased PRKCI. The induction of OASIS in podocytes is a critical event for the disturbance of kidney homeostasis.

Human Tubular Epithelial Cells Activate a Coordinated Stress Response after Serum Exposure [RNAseq-pid2019]

Project description:Proteinuria, the spillage of serum proteins into the urine, is a feature of glomerulonephritides, podocyte disorders and diabetic nephropathy. However, the response of tubular epithelial cells to serum protein exposure has not been systematically characterized. Using transcriptomic profiling we studied serum-induced changes in primary human tubular epithelial cells cultured in 3D microphysiological devices. Serum proteins induced cellular proliferation, secretion of cytokines and activated a coordinated stress response. We orthogonally confirmed our findings by comparing the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscapes of. Importantly, key transcriptomic programs in response to serum exposure remained consistent when comparing intact renal cortex to primary human tubules cultured in 10% fetal bovine serum and to an established mouse model of kidney injury. This serum-induced transcriptional response was dominated by AP-1 and NFkB signatures in the tubular epigenomic landscape with features of active regulation at canonical kidney injury genes (HAVCR1) and genes associated with COVID-19 (ACE2, IL6). Our data provide a reference map for dissecting the regulatory and transcriptional response of tubular epithelial cells to serum-induced injury.

Acyloxyacyl Hydrolase Protects against Kidney Injury via Inhibition of Tubular CD74-Macrophage Crosstalk

Project description:Renal fibrosis is the common pathway in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH) is expressed in various phagocytes and is highly expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs). Research shows that AOAH plays a critical role in infections and chronic inflammatory diseases, although its role in kidney injury is unknown. Here, we found that AOAH deletion led to exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis after folic acid (FA) administration, which was reversed by overexpression of Aoah in kidneys. ScRNA-seq revealed that Aoah-/- mice exhibited increased subpopulation of CD74+ PTECs, though the percentage of total PTECs were decreased compared to WT mice after FA treatment. Additionally, exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis seen in Aoah-/- mice was attenuated via administration of methyl ester of (S, R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid (ISO-1), an inhibitor of macrophage inhibition factor (MIF) and CD74 binding. Finally, AOAH expression was found positively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate while negatively correlated with the degree of renal fibrosis in kidneys of CKD patients. Thus, our work indicates that AOAH protects against kidney injury and fibrosis by inhibiting renal tubular epithelial cells CD74 signaling pathways. Targeting kidney AOAH represents a promising strategy to prevent renal fibrosis progression.
