McKay* Cytoplasmic innate immune receptors are important therapeutic targets for diseases associated with overproduction of proinflam- matory cytokines. One cytoplasmic receptor complex, the Nlrp3 inflammasome, responds to an extensive array of molecules as- sociated with cellular stress. Under normal conditions, Nlrp3 is autorepressed, but in the presence of its ligands, it oligomerizes, recruits apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (Asc), and triggers caspase 1 activation and the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1b and IL-18. Because ischemic tissue injury provides a potential source for Nlrp3 ligands, our study compared and contrasted the effects of renal ischemia in wild-type mice and mice deficient in Downloaded from components of the Nlrp3 inflammasome (Nlrp32/2 and Asc2/2 mice). To examine the role of the inflammasome in renal ischemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) we also tested its downstream targets caspase 1, IL-1b, and IL-18. Both Nlrp3 and Asc were highly expressed in renal tubular epithelium of humans and mice, and the absence of Nlrp3, but not Asc or the downstream inflamma- some targets, dramatically protected from kidney IRI. We conclude that Nlrp3 contributes to renal IRI by a direct effect on renal tubular epithelium and that this effect is independent of inflammasome-induced proinflammatory cytokine production.

Copyright © 2019 Termedia & Banach ac.ir Abstract Introduction: We recently reported that a series of brief hind limb ischemia and reperfusion (IR) at the beginning of renal ischemia (remote per-condi- tioning – RPEC) significantly attenuated the ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury. In the present study, we investigated whether the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pathway is involved in the RPEC protection of the rat ischemic kidneys. Material and methods: Male rats were subjected to right nephrectomy and randomized as: (1) sham, no additional intervention; (2) IR, 45 min of renal ischemia followed by 24 h reperfusion; (3) RPEC, four 5 min cycles of lower limb IR administered at the beginning of renal ischemia; (4) RPEC+L-NAME (a non-specific NOS inhibitor, 10 mg/kg, i.p.)

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine whether Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is the potential targets of prevention or progression in the renal ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury of STZ-induced diabetic rats. METHODS: Thirty six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly arranged to the nondiabetic (ND) or diabetic group (DM), with each group further divided into sham (no I/R injury), I/R (ischemia-reperfusion) and CD (given by Chloroquine) group. Preoperatively, Chloroquine (40 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection.) was administrated 6 days for treatment group. I/R animals were subjected to 25 min of bilateral renal ischemia. Renal function, histology, apoptosis, cytokines, expression of TLR7, MyD88 and NF-κB were detected. RESULTS: The serum levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, IL-6 and TNF-α, apoptotic tubular epithelial cells, expression of TLR7, MyD88 and NF-κB were significantly increased in DM+I/R group, compared with ND+I/R group (p<0.05).

Inherent to the transplantation procedure is the fact that the donor organ is subjected to blood flow cessation and ischemia during harvesting, which is followed by preservation and reperfusion of the organ once transplanted into the recipient. Consequently, ischemia/reperfusion induces a significant injury to the graft with activation of the immune response in the recipient and deleterious effect on the graft.

  • Acute Kidney Injury Leads to Inflammation and Functional Changes in the Brain

Lathia,‡ Mikhail Pletnikov,† Zhaoli Sun,§ Michael Crow,* Christopher A. Ross,† Mark P. Mattson,‡ and Hamid Rabb* Departments of *Medicine, †Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and §Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and ‡Laboratory of Neurosciences, National Institute on Aging Intramural Research Program, Baltimore, Maryland ABSTRACT Although neurologic sequelae of acute kidney injury (AKI) are well described, the pathogenesis of acute uremic encephalopathy is poorly understood. This study examined the short-term effect of ischemic AKI on inflammatory and functional changes of the brain in mice by inducing bilateral renal ischemia for 60 min and studying the brains 24 h later. Compared with sham mice, mice with AKI had increased neuronal pyknosis and microgliosis in the brain. AKI also led to increased levels of the proinflammatory chemo- kines keratinocyte-derived chemoattractant and G-CSF in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and increased expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in astrocytes in the cortex and corpus callosum. In addition, extravasation of Evans blue dye into the brain suggested that the blood-brain barrier was disrupted in mice with AKI. Because liver failure also leads to encephalopathy, ischemic liver injury was induced in mice with normal renal function; neuronal pyknosis and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression were not increased, suggesting differential effects on the brain depending on the organ injured. For evaluation of the effects of AKI on brain function, locomotor activity was studied using an open field test.

Secondary hypertension accounts for about 5–10% of all cases of hypertension, whereas pri- mary or essential hypertension accounts for 90%. In a series of 4494 patients referred to hyper- tension specialty clinics, 12.7% had secondary causes overall, of which 35% were associated with occlusive renovascular disease. 2 A more recent series showed that 24% of older subjects (mean age, 71 years) with RH were shown to have significant renal arterial disease, with most cases being caused by atheroscle- rotic disease. 3 However, the syndrome of renovascular hypertension can also result from other less common obstructive lesions (fibromuscular dysplasias, renal artery dissection or infarction, Takayasu arteritis, radiation fibrosis, and renal artery obstruction from aortic endovascular stent grafts).

Journal of Biomedical Science (2017) 24:77 DOI 10.1186/s12929-017-0383-3 RESEARCH Open Access Tumor necrosis factor superfamily ligand mRNA expression profiles differ between humans and mice during homeostasis and between various murine kidney injuries Satish Kumar Devarapu1, Julia Felicitas Grill1, Junhui Xie1,2, Marc Weidenbusch1, Mohsen Honarpisheh1, Volker Vielhauer1, Hans-Joachim Anders1 and Shrikant R. Mulay1,3* Abstract Background: Several tumour necrosis factor (TNF) based therapeutics have already been approved for human use and several others are emerging. Therefore, we determined the mRNA expression levels of the TNF superfamily ligands (TNFSF) – e.g. TNF-α, lymphotoxin (LT)-α, LT-β, Fas-L (CD95-L), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), 4-1BBL, OX40-L (CD252) and amyloid precursor protein (APP) in healthy human and mouse solid organs. Methods: We used quantitative real time-PCR to analyse mRNA expression levels of TNFSF ligands. Murine models of acute ischemic renal injury, chronic oxalate nephropathy, and immune complex glomerulonephritis were used. Renal injury was assessed by PAS staining, and infiltrating immune cells were analysed by immunohistochemistry. Data was analysed using non-parametric ANOVA (non-parametric; Kruskal-Wallis test). Results: We observed significant differences in the mRNA expression levels of TNFSF ligands in human and mouse solid organs. Furthermore, we determined their mRNA expressions during acute and chronic kidney injuries in mice. Our data demonstrate that the mRNA expression levels of TNFSF vary depending on the type of tissue injury – for example, acute ischemic renal injury, chronic crystalline nephropathy, and immune complex glomerulonephritis.

  • “Point of No Return” in Unilateral Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Mice
    Holderied et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2020) 27:34 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12929-020-0623-9 RESEARCH Open Access “Point of no return” in unilateral renal ischemia reperfusion injury in mice Alexander Holderied1* , Franziska Kraft2, Julian Aurelio Marschner2, Marc Weidenbusch2 and Hans-Joachim Anders2 Abstract Background: In the past years evidence has been growing about the interconnection of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized, that a threshold ischemia time in unilateral ischemia/reperfusion injury sets an extent of ischemic tubule necrosis, which as “point of no return” leads to progressive injury. This progress is temporarily associated by increased markers of inflammation and results in fibrosis and atrophy of the ischemic kidney. Methods: Acute tubule necrosis was induced by unilateral ischemia/reperfusion injury in male C57BL/6 N mice with different ischemia times (15, 25, 35, and 45 min). At multiple time points between 15 min and 5 weeks we assessed gene expression of markers for injury, inflammation, and fibrosis, histologically the injury of tubules, cell death (TUNEL), macrophages, neutrophil influx and kidney atrophy. Results: Unilateral ischemia for 15 and 25 min induced upregulation of markers for injury after reperfusion for 24 h but no upregulation after 5 weeks. None of the markers for inflammation or fibrosis were upregulated after ischemia for 15 and 25 min at 24 h or 5 weeks on a gene expression level, except for Il-6. Ischemia for 35 and 45 min consistently induced upregulation of markers for inflammation, injury, and partially of fibrosis (Tgf-β1 and Col1a1) at 24 h and 5 weeks.

In this study, we verified the induction of microRNA-489 during ischemic AKI in mice and further examined the underlying mechanisms. Hypoxia– inducible factor–1a deficiency associated with diminished microRNA-489 induction in cultured rat proximal tubular cells subjected to hypoxia and kidney tissues of mice after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Moreover, genomic analysis revealed that microRNA-489 is intronic in the calcitonin receptor gene, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed increased binding of hypoxia–inducible factor–1 to a specificsitein the calcitonin receptor gene promoter after hypoxia. Inhibition of microRNA-489 increased apoptosis in renal tubular cells after ATP depletion injury in vitro, whereas microRNA-489 mimics mediated protection. In mice, inhibition of microRNA-489 enhanced tubular cell death and ischemic AKI without significantly affecting tubular cell proliferation.
