Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the leading cause of mortality in aged cats. After injury, feline kidneys undergo extensive metabolic reprogramming, but a comprehensive evaluation is lacking. We integrate serum metabolome from 15 early stages, 6 late stages CKD and 14 healthy control cats, with renal cortex and medulla transcriptome and proteome. Our analysis reveals spatiotemporal patterns of gene and protein expression changes. In the early stages, there are ~2000 differentially expressed genes in the medulla, but 6 in the cortex. The number in the cortex increases to >4000 in the late stages. We provide evidence of deranged bioenergetics in CKD: circulating fatty acids and acylcarnitines accumulate, while genes and proteins involved in fatty acid transport and oxidation are downregulated. Glucose and pyruvate metabolism is altered in CKD. Impaired glutamine metabolism contributes to both energy deficiency and acid-base imbalance. Additionally, there is a downregulation of redox enzymes, and overexpression of proinflammatory and profibrotic markers in CKD. Finally, hypoxia signaling pathway is upregulated, and negatively correlated with SGLT2 expression. These data unveil profound metabolic abnormalities in feline CKD.

Project description:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a global health burden, is strongly associated with age-related renal function decline, hypertension and diabetes, frequent consequences of obesity. Despite extensive studies the mechanisms determining susceptibility to CKD remain elusive. Clinical evidence together with prior studies from our group showed that perinatal metabolic disorders after maternal obesity adversely affect kidney structure and function throughout life. Since obesity and aging processes converge in similar pathways we tested if perinatal obesity induced by High-Fat Diet (HFD)-fed female mice sensitizes aging-associated mechanism in kidneys of newborn mice. Tissue from the kidney cortex and the kidney medulla was collected from offspring of control or HFD-fed mice.

Project description:In Brazil, the incidence and prevalence of CKD are increasing, the prognosis remains poor and the costs of treating the disease are very high. Added to this is the increase in the main risk factors for the development and progression of CKD, such as greater aging of the population, high prevalence of AH, DM, overweight, smoking and others, which suggests the continuation of CKD as a serious problem of public health. This situation requires prevention actions, early diagnosis of the disease and agile action in the face of the functional changes evidenced. Furthermore, there is a need to find ways to prevent the progression of the disease. A disturbing issue in nephrology practice is the observation that a significant number of CKD patients lose renal function asymptomatically. One of the reasons is late diagnosis and referral to dialysis. The main causes are: the fact that CKD is often asymptomatic, difficulty in diagnosis, tendency of doctors not to refer patients adequately, selection of patients with less morbidities to start dialysis, resistance of patients to treatment, deficient structure of the health system and lack of access to treatment. The consequences of late referral are reflected in greater morbidity, mortality, costs and worse quality of life. In this sense, it is important to search for new markers of the disease that allow early diagnosis, monitoring of progression and, eventually, improving response to treatment. Analyzing mechanisms underlying renal failure and identifying unique biomarkers (such as metabolite ratios) have the potential to increase our understanding of CKD and improve disease diagnosis and treatment algorithms. In this sense, this project can represent important progress in CKD proteomics research, based on complex information obtained from proteomics associated with basic medical information. New biomarkers are needed as non-invasive tools to aid the accurate diagnosis of kidney diseases with similar clinical characteristics but different prognosis. This project aims to investigate the proteomics of saliva from chronic kidney disease patients in the search for molecular markers that can be used in both the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. So, for this, it was necessary to select healthy individuals and chronic kidney disease patients, and collect sociodemographic, behavioral, food consumption, clinical and anthropometric data from these individuals. Next, the mass spectrometry proteomics technique was performed on saliva samples and investigated molecules that could be used as markers of CKD and other associated comorbidities, in addition to evaluating whether any molecule could be indicative of the progression of CKD.

Project description:Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is a major global health problem but there are no effective therapies. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on cardiopulmonary structure, function, and metabolism in a large mammalian (feline) pressure overload model with HFpEF features. Male domestic short hair cats (n=26, aged 2mo), underwent either a sham procedure (n=5) or aortic constriction (n=21) using a pre-shaped band, resulting in slow-progressive pressure overload during subsequent growth. Two-months post-banding, banded cats were treated daily with either 10mg/kg suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (b+SAHA) (n=8), an FDA approved pan-HDAC inhibitor, or vehicle (b+veh) (n=8) for 2 months. Echocardiography at 4-months post-banding revealed that b+SAHA animals had a significant reduction in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and LA size vs b+veh animals. Invasively measured left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) were significantly elevated in b+veh and significantly reduced by b+SAHA. SAHA speeded ex-vivo myofibril relaxation independent of LVH and this effect correlated with in-vivo indices of LV relaxation. Furthermore, SAHA preserved lung structure, improved lung compliance and oxygenation, reflected by a decrease in alveolar-capillary wall thickness, alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDO2), and intrapulmonary shunt. SAHA also reduced perivascular fluid cuffs around extra-alveolar vessels, suggesting attenuated alveolar-capillary stress failure. Acetylation proteomics revealed that SAHA altered protein acetylation in cat hearts, including histones, many mitochondrial metabolic enzymes involved in electron transport chain, TCA cycle, malate aspartate shuttle and beta oxidation, as well as cytoskeletal proteins important for muscle function. These results suggest that acetylation defects in hypertrophic stress states can be reversed by HDAC inhibitors and may be useful to improve cardiac structure and function in HFpEF patients.

Project description:We examined the transcriptional profile of human kidney biopsies, aiming to provide insight into the mechanisms of progressive CKD. This approach led to the identification of FERM domain protein 3, (FRMD3) as a molecular driver of disease. Transcriptome profiling was performed in human renal biopsy tissue and correlated with parameters of kidney function, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), degree of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis (%TIF), as well as CKD progression over a median follow-up period of 60 months. Transcriptome analysis performed in two independent cohorts of patients with CKD (n=24 and n=17, respectively) identified a cluster of genes (n=93) significantly correlated (FDR P<0.05) with eGFR and %TIF, and associated with CKD progression, with enrichment for pathways associated with inflammation and immune-cell mediated infiltration. Expression of FRMD3, a previously reported candidate gene from human genetics studies in CKD, was negatively correlated with indices of CKD severity and progression. Knockdown of FRMD3 in human kidney epithelial cells enhanced fibrotic responses to the cytokine transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1). Analysis of FRMD3 binding partners indicated enrichment of proteins implicated in mitochondrial function and remodeling of epithelial adherens junctions. Lentivirus-mediated knockdown of FRMD3 in renal tubule epithelial cells yielded a significant reduction (>35%) in NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase activity, and a corresponding increase in caspase activity (50%). Using global transcriptome profiling we define a cluster of transcripts associated with severity of CKD and identify loss of FRMD3 expression as a potential molecular driver. Loss of FRMD3 expression may contribute to mitochondrial function and TIF.

Project description:BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs negatively regulate gene expression and play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of human type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As the domestic cat presents a spontaneous animal model for human T2DM, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether microRNAs are detectable in feline serum and whether microRNA expression profiles differ between healthy and diabetic cats. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from 400 M-BM-5l serum of healthy lean (HL) and newly diagnosed diabetic (D) cats. MicroRNA microarrays representing 1079 distinct mouse miRNA targets were used to measure miRNA expression in samples from eight HL and eight D cats. RESULTS: By microarray, 227 distinct microRNAs were identified. Nineteen miRNAs were differentially expressed in diabetic cats, but only two reached statistical significance after correction for multiple comparisons. In qRT-PCR, miR-122* was found to be upregulated in diabetic cats more than 40-fold compared to HL cats, while miR-193b was upregulated about 10-fold. MiR-483* showed a 6- fold increase in diabetic cats compared to HL cats. CONCLUSIONS: Small volumes of serum samples yield sufficient material to detect altered microRNA expression profiles in diabetic cats. The domestic cat may be considered a useful animal model for studying miRNAs involved in human T2DM. Blood was drawn from two groups of cats: 8 healthy cats and 8 cats suffering from diabetes. After clotting, samples were centrifuged and total mRNA was extracted from serum. These 16 serum samples were analyzed and the groups were compared. Due to technical problems during hybridization (leaking chamber), sample 1_4_B (Serum_diabetic_8) was not included into analysis.

Project description:Renal failure is associated with accumulation of various solutes called Uremic toxins. Post transcriptional regulation related to Chronic kidney disease (CKD) have already been described as RNA based silencing with micro RNA or modifications of mRNA degradation. Until now, alternative splice modification was not mentioned in the course of CKD. However, CKD is associated with modification of gene expression. The aim of the study was to explore modification of the alternative splice pattern in the course in CKD. The expression level of individual exons expression in human fibroblast were compared after culture to 96 hours of uremic condition or control condition. Three independant experiments were performed

Project description:Background. Resistant Starch (RS) improves CKD outcomes. In this report we study how RS modulates host-microbiome interactions in CKD by measuring changes in abundance of proteins and bacteria in the gut. In addition, we demonstrate RS-mediated reduction in CKD-induced kidney damage. Methods. Eight mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy to induce CKD and 8 served as healthy controls. CKD and Healthy (H) groups were further split into those receiving RS (CKDRS, n=4; HRS, n=4) and those on normal diet (CKD, n=4, H, n=4). Kidney injury was evaluated by measuring BUN/creatinine and by most-mortem histopathological evaluation. Cecal contents were analyzed mass spectrometry-based metaproteomics. PEAKS Studio was used to identify peptides via de novo sequencing. A set of R/Bioconductor packages and in house written scripts was further used to infer bacteria present, to evaluate changes in proteins and bacterial abundances, and to perform statistical analysis and hierarchical clustering. Results. The 5/6 nephrectomy compromised kidney function as seen by an increase in creatinine and BUN. Representative photomicrographs of trichrome-stained kidney sections showed reduced tubulointerstitial injury in CKD mice fed HAM-RS2 diet comparing to CKD mice fed normal diet. Identified organisms and proteins point toward a higher population of butyrate-producing bacteria, and reduced abundance of mucin-degrading bacteria. Conclusion. Resistant starch slows the progression of chronic kidney disease. Gut barrier function through maintenance of the mucin barrier plays a role in RS-associated improvements in CKD phenotype. Resistant starch supplementation leads to the active bacterial proliferation and the reduction of harmful bacterial metabolites.
