  • Complement-Mediated Dysfunction of Glomerular Filtration Barrier Accelerates Progressive Renal Injury
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Complement-Mediated Dysfunction of Glomerular Filtration Barrier Accelerates Progressive Renal Injury Mauro Abbate,* Carla Zoja,* Daniela Corna,* Daniela Rottoli,* Cristina Zanchi,* Nadia Azzollini,* Susanna Tomasoni,* Silvia Berlingeri,* Marina Noris,* Marina Morigi,* and Giuseppe Remuzzi*† *Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research and †Unit of Nephrology and Dialysis, Azienda Ospedaliera Ospedali Riuniti di Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy ABSTRACT Intrarenal complement activation leads to chronic tubulointerstitial injury in animal models of proteinuric nephropathies, making this process a potential target for therapy. This study investigated whether a C3-mediated pathway promotes renal injury in the protein overload model and whether the abnormal exposure of proximal tubular cells to filtered complement could trigger the resulting inflammatory response. Mice with C3 deficiency were protected to a significant degree against the protein overload–induced interstitial inflammatory response and tissue damage, and they had less severe podocyte injury and less proteinuria. When the same injury was induced in wild-type (WT) mice, antiproteinuric treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopril reduced the amount of plasma protein filtered, decreased the accumulation of C3 by proximal tubular cells, and protected against interstitial inflammation and damage. For determination of the injurious role of plasma-derived C3, as opposed to tubular cell–derived C3, C3-deficient kidneys were transplanted into WT mice. Protein overload led to the development of glomerular injury, accumulation of C3 in podocytes and proximal tubules, and tubulointerstitial changes. Conversely, when WT kidneys were transplanted into C3-deficient mice, protein overload led to a more mild disease and abnormal C3 deposition was not observed.

  • Unique Proximal Tubular Cell Injury and the Development of Acute
    Fujigaki et al. BMC Nephrology (2017) 18:339 DOI 10.1186/s12882-017-0756-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Unique proximal tubular cell injury and the development of acute kidney injury in adult patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome Yoshihide Fujigaki1*, Yoshifuru Tamura2, Michito Nagura2, Shigeyuki Arai2, Tatsuru Ota2, Shigeru Shibata2, Fukuo Kondo3, Yutaka Yamaguchi3 and Shunya Uchida2 Abstract Background: Adult patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) are often associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). To assess the mechanisms of AKI, we examined whether tubular cell injuries unique to MCNS patients exist. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of clinical data and tubular cell changes using the immunohistochemical expression of vimentin as a marker of tubular injury and dedifferentiation at kidney biopsy in 37 adult MCNS patients. AKI was defined by the criteria of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for AKI. Results: Thirteen patients (35.1%) were designated with AKI at kidney biopsy. No significant differences in age, history of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, diuretics use, proteinuria, and serum albumin were noted between the AKI and non- AKI groups. Urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (uNAG) and urinary alpha1-microglobulin (uA1MG) as markers of tubular injury were increased in both groups, but the levels were significantly increased in the AKI group compared with the non- AKI group. The incidence of vimentin-positive tubules was comparable between AKI (84.6%) and non-AKI (58.3%) groups, but vimentin-positive tubular area per interstitial area was significantly increased in the AKI group (19.8%) compared with the non-AKI group (6.8%) (p = 0.011).

  • Plasma Membrane Integrity: Implications for Health and Disease Dustin A
    Ammendolia et al. BMC Biology (2021) 19:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-00972-y REVIEW Open Access Plasma membrane integrity: implications for health and disease Dustin A. Ammendolia1,2, William M. Bement3 and John H. Brumell1,2,4,5* Abstract Plasma membrane integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis. In vivo, cells experience plasma membrane damage from a multitude of stressors in the extra- and intra-cellular environment. To avoid lethal consequences, cells are equipped with repair pathways to restore membrane integrity. Here, we assess plasma membrane damage and repair from a whole-body perspective. We highlight the role of tissue-specific stressors in health and disease and examine membrane repair pathways across diverse cell types. Furthermore, we outline the impact of genetic and environmental factors on plasma membrane integrity and how these contribute to disease pathogenesis in different tissues.

  • How Does Proteinuria Cause Progressive Renal Damage?
    How Does Proteinuria Cause Progressive Renal Damage? Mauro Abbate,* Carla Zoja,* and Giuseppe Remuzzi*† *Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research and †Unit of Nephrology and Dialysis, Azienda Ospedaliera, Ospedali Riuniti di Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy The possibility that proteinuria may accelerate kidney disease progression to end-stage renal failure has received support from the results of increasing numbers of experimental and clinical studies. Evidence indicating that this process occurs through multiple pathways, including induction of tubular chemokine expression and complement activation that lead to inflamma- tory cell infiltration in the interstitium and sustained fibrogenesis, is reviewed. Macrophages are prominent in the interstitial inflammatory infiltrate. This cell type mediates progression of renal injury to the extent that macrophage numbers in renal biopsy predict renal survival in patients with chronic renal disease. Chemoattractants and adhesive molecules for inflamma- tory cells are upregulated by excess ultrafiltered protein load of proximal tubular cells via activation of NF-␬B–dependent and NF-␬B–independent pathways. This mechanism is a potential target for therapeutic approaches, as shown by beneficial effects of manipulations with inhibitory molecules of NF-␬B activation or of chemokine receptors in experimental studies. Targeting complement synthesis or activation in proximal tubule might offer novel therapeutic opportunities. Finally, proximal tubular cell receptors for uptake of plasma proteins that are under investigation may provide activation signals on excess tubular protein handling.

  • Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges
    11 Macronutrients and Healthful Diets SUMMARY Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) for indi- viduals have been set for carbohydrate, fat, n-6 and n-3 poly- unsaturated fatty acids, and protein based on evidence from interventional trials, with support of epidemiological evidence that suggests a role in the prevention or increased risk of chronic dis- eases, and based on ensuring sufficient intakes of essential nutrients. The AMDR for fat and carbohydrate is estimated to be 20 to 35 and 45 to 65 percent of energy for adults, respectively. These AMDRs are estimated based on evidence indicating a risk for coro- nary heart disease (CHD) at low intakes of fat and high intakes of carbohydrate and on evidence for increased risk for obesity and its complications (including CHD) at high intakes of fat. Because the evidence is less clear on whether low or high fat intakes during childhood can lead to increased risk of chronic diseases later in life, the estimated AMDRs for fat for children are primarily based on a transition from the high fat intakes that occur during infancy to the lower adult AMDR. The AMDR for fat is 30 to 40 percent of energy for children 1 to 3 years of age and 25 to 35 percent of energy for children 4 to 18 years of age. The AMDR for carbo- hydrate for children is the same as that for adults—45 to 65 percent of energy. The AMDR for protein is 10 to 35 percent of energy for adults and 5 to 20 percent and 10 to 30 percent for children 1 to 3 years of age and 4 to 18 years of age, respectively.
