MTORC1 maintains renal tubular homeostasis and is essential in response to ischemic stress

ABSTRACT: The mechanistic target of rapamycin mTORC1 is a key regulator of cell metabolism and autophagy. Despite widespread clinical use of mTOR inhibitors, the role of mTORC1 in renal tubular function and kidney homeostasis remains elusive. By utilizing constitutive and inducible deletion of conditional Raptor alleles in renal tubular epithelial cells, we discovered that mTORC1 deficiency caused a marked concentrating defect, loss of tubular cells and slowly progressive renal fibrosis. Transcriptional profiling revealed that mTORC1 maintains renal tubular homeostasis by controlling mitochondrial metabolism and biogenesis as well as transcellular transport processes involved in counter-current multiplication and urine concentration. Although mTORC2 partially compensated the loss of mTORC1, exposure to ischemia and reperfusion injury exaggerated the tubular damage in mTORC1-deficient mice, and caused pronounced apoptosis, diminished proliferation rates and delayed recovery. These findings identify mTORC1 as an essential regulator of tubular energy metabolism and as a crucial component of ischemic stress responses. Pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 likely affects tubular homeostasis, and may be particularly deleterious if the kidney is exposed to acute injury. Furthermore, the combined inhibition of mTORC1 and mTORC2 may increase the susceptibility to renal damage.

Cloning and variation of adult renal tubular progenitors

Project description:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that renal progenitor cells can be cloned from renal needle biopsy sample of CKD patients. Progenitor cells can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

Cloning and transplantation of adult renal tubular progenitors

Project description:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that progenitor cells can be cloned from mouse medulla and cortex. Clones can be grown from a single cell and indefinitely passaged. Progenitor cells derived from renal medulla can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

AMPK activator O304 protects against kidney aging through promoting energy metabolism and autophagy

Project description:Energy homeostasis plays a key role in retarding aging, and mitochondria are responsible for energy production.AMPK plays a central role in maintaining energy homeostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis, and commands autophagy, a clearing and recycling process to maintain cellular homeostasis. However, the effect of AMPK activators on kidney aging has not been fully elucidated. We testified the effects of O304, a novel direct AMPK activator, in naturally aging mice model and D-galactose (D-gal)-treated renal tubular cell culture. We identified that O304 perfectly protects against cellular senescence and aged-related fibrosis in kidneys. Also, O304 restored energy metabolism, promoted autophagy, and preserved mitochondrial homeostasis. Transcriptomic sequencing also proved that O304 induced fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis and ATP process, and downregulated cell aging, DNA damage response and collagen organization. All these results suggest that O304 has a strong potential to retard aged kidney injury through regulating AMPK-induced multiple pathways.

DNA-binding protein-A promotes renal ischemia/reperfusion injury and participates in mitochondrial function

Project description:DNA-binding protein-A (DbpA; gene: Ybx3) belongs to the cold shock protein family with known functions in cell cycling, transcription, translation and tight junction communication. In chronic nephritis DbpA is upregulated, however its activities in acute injury models, such as renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), are unclear. Mice harboring Ybx3+/+, Ybx3+/- or Ybx3-/- genotype were characterized over a period of 24 months and following experimental renal IRI. Mitochondrial function, number and integrity were analyzed by mito stress tests, MitoTracker staining and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and flow cytometry were performed to quantify tubular cell damage and immune cell infiltration. DbpA is dispensable for kidney development and tissue homeostasis under healthy conditions. Furthermore, endogenous DbpA protein localizes within mitochondria in primary tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Genetic deletion of Ybx3 elevates the mitochondrial membrane potential, the lipid uptake and metabolism, the oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and glycolytic activities of TECs. Ybx3-/- mice demonstrate protection from IRI with less immune cell infiltration, ER stress and tubular cell damage. A putative protective mechanism is identified via upregulated antioxidant activities and reduced ferroptosis, when Ybx3 is deleted. Here, experimental evidences reveal DbpA acts as a mitochondrial protein with profound adverse effects on cell metabolism and highlights a protective effect against IRI when Ybx3 is genetically deleted.

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 regulates immune response in kidney injury and renal aging mpact of plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 in kidney injury and renal aging

Project description:The plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2; encoded by the SerpinB2 gene) has been described in the context of macrophage activation and in cellular senescence. As both mechanisms are important in kidney disease we tested a possible role of PAI-2 in renal injury and repair. Methods:Aging, ischemia/reperfusion injury and unilateral ureteral obstruction were performed on the mice. Bone marrow was transplantefrom SerpinB2-/- to wild-type littermates and vice versa. Primary tubular cells and macrophages from SerpinB2-/- and wildtype mice were used for functional studies and transcriptional profiling. Results: PAI-2 expression was up-regulated in cultured senescent tubular cells and in kidneys of aged mice. In the lack of PAI-2 in SerpinB2-/- mice was associated with enhanced renal fibrosis and an inflammatory phenotype during aging and in kidney injury models. While acute injury was associated with fewer monocytes/macrophages in SerpinB2-/- kidneys the subsequent resolution of inflammation seen in wildtype kidneys was lacking in knockout mice. Conclusion: PAI-2 regulates renal aging, tubular damage, and resolution of inflammation. PAI-2 is crucial for kidney repair in mice .

Activation of the YAP/KLF5 transcriptional cascade in renal tubular cells aggravates kidney injury

Project description:The Hippo/YAP pathway plays a critical role in early embryonic kidney development, but its functions in the adult kidney are less well understood. Our previous work has demonstrated that tubular YAP activation induced by double knockout of the upstream Hippo kinases Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1/2 dKO) promotes tubular injury and renal inflammation under basal conditions. However, the importance of tubular YAP activation remains to be established in injured kidneys in which many other injurious pathways are simultaneously activated. Several secreted factors were found to be increased by YAP in tubular cells, but how the transcriptional network is altered by YAP is largely unknown. Here, we show that tubular YAP was already activated at 6 h after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Tubular YAP deficiency greatly attenuated tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation induced by UUO or cisplatin. RNA-Seq, ChIP and luciferase assay revealed that YAP promoted the transcription of the transcription factor KLF5 whereas no interaction between YAP and KLF5 was observed. Consistently, the elevated expression of KLF5 and its target genes in Mst1/2 dKO or UUO kidneys was blocked by ablation of Yap in tubular cells. Inhibition of KLF5 prevented tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation in Mst1/2 dKO kidneys. Therefore, our results demonstrate that tubular YAP is a key player in kidney injury. YAP and KLF5 form a transcriptional cascade, in which tubular YAP activation induced by kidney injury promotes KLF5 transcription. Activation of this cascade induces tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation

NLRC5 deficiency protects against acute kidney injury in mice by mediating CEACAM1 signaling

Project description:Although there is significant progress in understanding the structure and function of NLRC5, a member of the NOD like receptor (NLR) family, in the context of MHC class I gene expression, the functions of NLRC5 in innate and adaptive immune responses beyond the regulation of MHC class I genes remain controversial and unresolved. In particular, the role of NLRC5 in the kidney keeps unknown. In this study, we found that NLRC5 was significantly upregulated in the kidney from mice with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). NLRC5 deficient (NLRC5-/-) mice significantly ameliorated renal injury as evidenced by decreased serum creatinine levels, improved morphological injuries, and reduced inflammatory responses versus wild type mice. Similar protective effects were also observed in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Mechanistically, NLRC5 contributed to renal injury by promoting tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and reducing inflammatory responses which is associated with, at least in part, the negative regulation of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1). To determine the relative contribution of NLRC5 expression by parenchymal cells or leukocytes to renal damage during IRI, we generated bone marrow (BM) chimeric mice. NLRC5-/- mice engrafted with WT hematopoietic cells had significantly lower serum creatinine and less tubular damage than WT mice reconstituted with NLRC5-/- BM, suggesting that NLRC5 signaling in renal parenchymal cells plays the dominant role in mediating renal damage. Collectively, modulation of NLRC5-mediated pathway may have important therapeutic implications for patients with AKI.

Autophagy of OTUD5 Destabilizes GPX4 to Confer Ferroptosis-Dependent Kidney Injury

Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death associated with severe kidney diseases, linked to decreased glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). However, the spatial distribution of renal GPX4-mediated ferroptosis and the molecular events causing GPX4 reduction during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) remain largely unknown. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identify that GPX4 is situated at the interface of the inner cortex and outer medulla, a hyperactive ferroptosis site post-I/R injury. We show that OTU deubiquitinase 5 (OTUD5) is a GPX4-binding protein that confers ferroptosis resistance by stabilizing GPX4. During I/R, ferroptosis is induced by mTORC1-mediated autophagy, causing OTUD5 degradation and subsequent GPX4 decay. Functionally, OTUD5 deletion intensifies renal tubular cell ferroptosis and exacerbates acute kidney injury, while AAV-mediated OTUD5 delivery mitigates ferroptosis and promotes renal function recovery from I/R injury. In this work, our study highlights a new autophagy-dependent ferroptosis module: hypoxia/ischemia-induced OTUD5 autophagy triggers GPX4 degradation, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for I/R-related kidney diseases.
