Sikes KJ, McConnell A, Serkova N, Cole B, Frisbie D. Untargeted metabolomics analysis identifies creatine, myo-inositol, and lipid pathway modulation in a murine model of tendinopathy. J Orthop Res 2022; 40:965-976. [PMID: 34081345 PMCID: PMC8639838 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Tendinopathy has been broadly characterized as alterations in cell proliferation, extracellular matrix turnover/synthesis, and inflammatory alterations. However, the underlying glucose metabolism pathways which contribute to these responses have not been well explored. The potential link between glucose metabolism and tendon pathology is interesting from a global standpoint since the development of spontaneous tendinopathy is associated with systemic metabolic disorders including diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the overarching goal of this study was to understand the potential pathogenic role of glucose metabolism-driven mechanisms in the development of tendinopathy. To test this, we have utilized an untargeted metabolomics approach to discover pathways which may be altered following tendinopathic injury and treadmill running in an established murine model of TGF-β1 induced tendinopathy. While specific tendon glucose alterations were not observed via metabolomics or 18 F-fluoroeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/microcomputed tomography imaging (18 F-FDG PET/CT), metabolites including creatinine, D-chiro-inositol, and lipids were dysregulated following tendon injury. As novel pathways for manipulation, the creatine pathway, myo-inositol pathway, and lipid signaling may lead to the development of enhanced preventative strategies and therapeutic options for all patients who suffer from tendon-related injuries.

Association between Sarcopenia and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, Myostatin, and Insulin Resistance in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis. J Aging Res 2022; 2022:1327332. [PMID: 35371569 PMCID: PMC8967580 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1327332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Sarcopenia is common in hemodialysis patients, especially in the elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis. Various factors may contribute to the occurrence of sarcopenia, such as anabolic and catabolic imbalance. This study aims to investigate the correlation of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels as an anabolic factor, myostatin levels, and insulin resistance as catabolic factors with sarcopenia in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis. A total of 40 subjects aged 60 years or more who undergoing hemodialysis in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya were included in this cross-sectional study. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to Asian Working Group Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. IGF-1, myostatin, and insulin resistance levels were measured once before hemodialysis. Subjects with sarcopenia diagnosis were 33 (82.5%), that is, 19 (47.5%) men and 14 (35%) women. There were 28 (70%) of the subjects diagnosed with severe sarcopenia. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the characteristics and geriatric parameters between the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups. There were differences between the two groups in hemoglobin levels, IGF-1 levels, myostatin levels, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels, muscle mass, handgrip strength, body mass index status, mini nutritional assessment status, and physical activity scale for elderly status (all p < 0.05). Correlation analyses showed that IGF-1 levels negatively correlated with sarcopenia status in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis (p < 0.05). On the contrary, myostatin and HOMA-IR levels were positively correlated with sarcopenia status in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis (all p < 0.05). Based on this recent study, IGF-1, myostatin, and insulin resistance were significantly correlated with sarcopenia in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
The daily amount and quality of protein that should be administered by enteral nutrition in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is a widely studied but still controversial issue. This is due to a compromise between the protein necessary to maintain muscular proteostasis avoiding sarcopenia, and the minimal amount required to prevent uremia and the accumulation of nitrogenous toxic substances in blood because of the renal function limitations. This review underlines some intracellular and extracellular features that should be considered to reconcile those two opposite factors. On one hand, the physiological conditions and usual side effects associated with CKD, mTOR and other proteins and nutrients involved in the regulation of protein synthesis in the muscular tissue are discussed. On the other hand, the main digestive features of the most common proteins used for enteral nutrition formulation (i.e., whey, casein and soy protein) are highlighted, due to the importance of supplying key amino acids to serum and tissues to maintain their concentration above the anabolic threshold needed for active protein synthesis, thereby minimizing the catabolic pathways leading to urea formation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The risk of adverse geriatric outcomes such as falls and fractures is high among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Metabolic acidosis is associated with protein catabolism and bone loss in experimental animal and human studies. We sought to quantify the independent association of metabolic acidosis with adverse muscle, bone, and functional outcomes in a large U.S. community-based cohort.
Methods
The Optum's de-identified Integrated Claims-Clinical dataset of US patients (2007-2017) was used to generate a cohort of patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD who had eGFR >10 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 2 serum bicarbonate values 12 to <22 mmol/L or 22-29 mmol/L. The primary outcomes were failure to thrive, protein-calorie malnutrition, and fall or fracture. Cox proportional hazards models were used for the primary outcomes for up to 10 years, while logistic regression models were used at 2 years.
Results
51,558 patients qualified for the study, with a median (IQR) follow-up time of 4.2 (2.5-5.8) years. Over a ≤ 10-year period, for each 1-mmol/L increase in serum bicarbonate, the hazard ratios (adjusted for age, sex, race, eGFR, serum albumin, hemoglobin, diabetes and cardiovascular comorbidities) for failure to thrive, protein-calorie malnutrition, and fall or fracture were 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90-0.92), 0.91 (95% CI, 0.90-0.92), and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.95-0.96), all P < 0.001, respectively.
Conclusions
The presence and severity of metabolic acidosis was a significant, independent risk factor for failure to thrive, protein-calorie malnutrition, and fall or fracture in this large community cohort of patients with stage 3-5 CKD.

Abstract
Whole-body dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) accurately measures lean mass but is not routinely used in clinical practice. Hip and spine DXA are used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and with the common co-occurrence of sarcopenia with osteoporosis, regional DXA scans provide an opportunity for assessment of lean mass. The aim of this study is to develop predictive equations for the estimation of whole-body lean mass (WBLM), appendicular lean mass (ALM) and whole-body fat mass (WBFM) from regional DXA scans. A total of 2427 participants (ages 20-96 year; 57.7% men) from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study who underwent both regional and whole-body DXA were included in the analysis. Using forward stepwise multivariable linear regression, percentage fat (spine%fat, hip%fat) values from lumbar spine and femoral neck DXA were used in combination with clinical data to develop and validate equations for the estimation of WBLM, WBFM and ALM. Mean age was 53.5 year (± 19.2), weight 78.2 kg (± 15.4), height 169.6 cm (± 9.4), WBLM 50.4 kg (± 11.1), ALM 22.8 kg (± 5.4) and WBFM 24.3 kg (± 10.4). Spine%fat (r = 0.21) and hip%fat (r = - 0.34) were correlated with whole-body lean mass (p < 0.001). Final predictive equations included age, sex, weight, height, spine%fat, and hip%fat and possessed high predictive value (Adj R2 0.91-0.94, RMSE 1.60-2.84 kg). K-fold cross-validation methods produced median root mean square error (RMSE) ranging from 1.59 to 2.81 kg for the three models. Regional DXA scans of the spine and hip can be used to estimate whole-body and appendicular lean mass, to assist in the identification of low muscle mass.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet a reliable serum index has not been established. The product of serum creatinine and the estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C (Cr×eGFRcys) was recently proposed as a sarcopenia index (SI), approximately to 24-h filtered creatinine through the glomerulus. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic validity of the novel SI in advanced CKD. In 297 patients with non-dialysis stage 3b-5 CKD, aged 68.8 ± 12.9 years, the total skeletal muscle mass (SMM), handgrip strength (HGS), and usual gait speed were assessed. Sarcopenia was defined based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus update. The prevalence of sarcopenia in this cohort was 20.2%. The SI correlated moderately with SMM (r = 0.503, P < 0.001), HGS (r = 0.508, P < 0.001), and gait speed (r = 0.381, P < 0.001); the independency of the SI with three muscle metrics was confirmed after extensive adjustment. For sarcopenia prediction, the SI had acceptable discriminative powers in males [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) 0.646, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.569–0.718] and females (AUC 0.754, 95% CI 0.670–0.826). In males, the best cut-off was 53.9, which provided 71.1% sensitivity, 58.0% specificity, 32.9% positive predictive value (PPV), and 87.4% negative predictive value (NPV); in females, the best cut-off was 45.8, which provided 81.8% sensitivity, 62.3% specificity, 31.0% PPV, and 94.3% NPV. In conclusion, Cr×eGFRcys could be served as a surrogate marker for sarcopenia and may be helpful for sarcopenia screening in advanced CKD. Further studies are needed to expand our investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ambient fine particulate matter (PM < 2.5 μm, PM2.5) is gaining increasing attention as an environmental risk factor for health. The kidneys are considered a particularly vulnerable target to the toxic effects that PM2.5 exerts. Alteration of kidney function may lead to a disrupted homeostasis, affecting disparate tissues in the body. This review intends to summarize all relevant knowledge published between January 2000 and December 2021 on the effects of ambient PM2.5 and the adverse effects on kidney function in adults (≥ 18 years). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Studies published in peer-reviewed journals, written in English, regarding the effects of PM2.5 on kidney function and the development and/or exacerbation of kidney disease(s) were included. Of the 587 nonduplicate studies evaluated, 40 were included, comprising of studies on healthy or diagnosed with pre-existing disease (sub)populations. Most of the studies were cohort studies (n = 27), followed by 10 cross-sectional, 1 ecological and 2 time-series studies. One longitudinal study was considered intermediate risk of bias, the other included studies were considered low risk of bias. A large portion of the studies (n = 36) showed that PM2.5 exposure worsened kidney outcome(s) investigated; however, some studies show contradictory results. Measurement of the estimated glomerular filtration rate, for instance, was found to be positively associated (n = 8) as well as negatively associated (n = 4) with PM2.5. LIMITATIONS AND CONCLUSION The main limitations of the included studies include residual confounding (e.g., smoking) and lack of individual exposure levels. The majority of included studies focused on specific subpopulations, which may limit generalizability. Evidence of the detrimental effects that ambient PM2.5 may exert on kidney function is emerging. However, further investigations are required to determine how and to what extent air pollution, specifically PM2.5, exerts adverse effects on the kidney and alters its function. REGISTRATION The systematic review protocol was submitted and published by the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42020175615 ).

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MYOSTATIN, INFLAMMATORY MARKERS AND SARCOPENIA IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE. J Ren Nutr 2022; 32:677-684.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), investigate the relationship of the serum myostatin level with sarcopenia and inflammatory markers. METHODS The study was conducted with four patient groups: renal transplantation (TX), stage 3-5 non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD), hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Laboratory parameters, serum myostatin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were studied. Body composition was estimated using a multifrequency bioimpedance analysis. Handgrip strength (HGS) was evaluated with a handgrip dynamometer. The HGS and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) measurements were used to determine sarcopenia presence. RESULTS The study included 130 patients [72(55%) males]. The patient distribution in groups was as follows: 37 in HD, 28 in PD, 37 in renal TX, and 28 in NDD-CKD. The highest level of myostatin was measured in the HD group and the lowest in the TX group (p<0.001). The HGS measurement was significantly lower only in the PD group compared to the TX group (p=0.025). The myostatin was negatively correlated with HGS, albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and Kt/Vurea. However, myostatin had no correlation with inflammatory markers or ASMI. Sarcopenia was present in 37 (29%) of all patients: 15 (40%) in the HD group, nine (32%) in NDD-CKD, seven (25%) in PD, and six (16%) in TX. When the patients with and without sarcopenia were compared, only myostatin was higher in the former (p=0.045). As a result of multivariate analysis, myostatin was the only independent factor which predict sarcopenia (OR: 1.002, 95% CI:1.001-1.005, p=0.048). CONCLUSION To prevent devastating events associated with sarcopenia in patients with CKD, renal transplantation seems to be the best treatment solution. For the early recognition of sarcopenia, the measurement of the serum myostatin level may be a promising diagnostic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure induces bone mineral disorders and sarcopenia. Skeletal muscle affects other tissues, including bone, by releasing myokines. However, the effects of chronic renal failure on the interactions between muscle and bone remain unclear. METHODS We investigated the effects of renal failure on bone, muscle, and myokines linking muscle to bone using a mouse 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx) model. Muscle mass and bone mineral density (BMD) were analysed by quantitative computed tomography 8 weeks after Nx. RESULTS Nephrectomy significantly reduced muscle mass in the whole body (12.1% reduction, P < 0.05), grip strength (10.1% reduction, P < 0.05), and cortical BMD at the femurs of mice (9.5% reduction, P < 0.01) 8 weeks after surgery, but did not affect trabecular BMD at the femurs. Among the myokines linking muscle to bone, Nx reduced the expression of irisin, a proteolytic product of fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (Fndc5), in the gastrocnemius muscles of mice (38% reduction, P < 0.01). Nx increased myostatin mRNA levels in the gastrocnemius muscles of mice (54% increase, P < 0.01). In simple regression analyses, cortical BMD, but not trabecular BMD, at the femurs was positively related to Fndc5 mRNA levels in the gastrocnemius muscles of mice (r = 0.651, P < 0.05). The weekly administration of recombinant irisin to mice ameliorated the decrease in cortical BMD, but not muscle mass or grip strength, induced by Nx (6.2% reduction in mice with Nx vs. 3.3% reduction in mice with Nx and irisin treatment, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present results demonstrated that renal failure decreases the expression of irisin in the gastrocnemius muscles of mice. Irisin may contribute to cortical bone loss induced by renal failure in mice as a myokine linking muscle to bone.

[PMID: 34989172 PMCID: PMC8818609 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 42.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
There is no consensus on the prevalence of sarcopenia or its impact on mortality in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis. This review aimed to summarize the diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia and its prevalence and impact on the mortality of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis. Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to 8 May 2021 to retrieve eligible studies that assessed muscle mass by commonly used instruments, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, magnetic resonance imaging, and body composition monitor. Two assessment tools matched to study designs were employed to evaluate study quality. Pooled sarcopenia prevalence was calculated with 95% confidence interval (CI), and heterogeneity was estimated using the I2 test. Associations of sarcopenia with mortality were expressed as hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. The search identified 3272 studies, and 30 studies (6162 participants, mean age from 47.5 to 77.5 years) were analysed in this review. The risk of bias in the included studies was low to moderate. Twenty-two studies defined sarcopenia based on low muscle mass (LMM) plus low muscle strength and/or low physical performance, while eight studies used LMM alone. Muscle mass was assessed by different instruments, and a wide range of cut-off points were used to define LMM. Overall, sarcopenia prevalence was 28.5% (95% CI 22.9-34.1%) and varied from 25.9% (I2 = 94.9%, 95% CI 20.4-31.3%; combined criteria) to 34.6% (I2 = 98.1%, 95% CI 20.9-48.2%; LMM alone) (P = 0.247 between subgroups). The statistically significant differences were not found in the subgroups of diagnostic criteria (P > 0.05) and dialysis modality (P > 0.05). Additionally, the sarcopenia prevalence could not be affected by average age [regression coefficient 0.004 (95% CI: -0.005 to 0.012), P = 0.406] and dialysis duration [regression coefficient 0.002 (95% CI -0.002 to 0.005), P = 0.327] in the meta-regression. The pooled analyses showed that combined criteria of sarcopenia were related to a higher mortality risk [HR 1.82 (I2 = 26.3%, 95% CI 1.38-2.39)], as was LMM [HR 1.61 (I2 = 26.0%, 95% CI 1.31-1.99)] and low muscle strength [HR 2.04 (I2 = 80.4%, 95% CI 1.19-3.5)]. Although there are substantial differences in diagnostic criteria, sarcopenia is highly prevalent in dialysis patients and is linked to increased mortality. The standardization of sarcopenia diagnostic criteria would be beneficial, and future longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of sarcopenia in dialysis patients.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2022; 13:397-408. [PMID: 34862753 PMCID: PMC8818653 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of sarcopenia is increased with declining renal function. Elevated serum indoxyl sulfate levels are associated with poor skeletal muscle conditions. We aimed to determine the effects of AST-120, the oral adsorbent of indoxyl sulfate, on sarcopenia and sarcopenia-associated factors in chronic kidney disease patients. METHODS This was a 48 week, randomized controlled, parallel group, open-label, multicentre trial (n = 150). The participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the control (CON) and AST-120 (Renamezin®, REN) groups. Outcome measurements were performed at baseline and every 24 weeks for 48 weeks. The primary outcome was gait speed difference ≥0.1 m/s between the two groups, and secondary outcomes included hand grip strength, muscle mass, and health-related quality of life. RESULTS A difference of gait speed ≥0.1 m/s was not observed during the study period. The mean dynamic-start gait speed in the REN group increased from baseline to 48 weeks (1.04 ± 0.31 to 1.08 ± 0.32 m/s, P = 0.019). The static-start gait speed changed by -0.024 and 0.04 m/s (P = 0.049) in the CON and REN groups over 48 weeks, respectively. Hand grip strength decreased during the first 24 weeks and did not significantly change over the next 24 weeks in either group. The proportion of low muscle mass or sarcopenia at baseline was larger in the REN group than in the CON group, but the difference attenuated over the study period [low muscle mass and sarcopenia in the CON and REN groups at baseline, 4.0% vs. 18.9% (P = 0.004) and 2.7% vs. 13.5% (P = 0.017); at 24 weeks, 2.9% vs. 13.6% (P = 0.021) and 1.4% vs. 10.5% (P = 0.029); and at 48 weeks, 7.6% vs. 12.9% (P = 0.319) and 4.5% vs. 8.1% (P = 0.482), respectively]. Bodily pain, vitality, symptoms/problems, and cognitive function in the REN group improved, while the quality of social interactions and the kidney disease effects in the CON group aggravated from baseline to 48 weeks. Interaction between time and group was evident only in symptoms/problems, cognitive function, and kidney disease effects. CONCLUSIONS The addition of AST-120 to standard treatment in chronic kidney disease patients did not make a significant difference in gait speed, although AST-120 modestly had beneficial effects on gait speed change and quality of life and showed the potential to improve sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is the standard treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease, it always entails ethical concerns about the risk of living donors. Recent studies have reported a correlation between sarcopenia and surgical prognosis in recipients. However, there are few studies of donor sarcopenia and the surgical prognosis of donors. This study investigated the association between sarcopenia and postoperative acute kidney injury in liver donors. METHODS This retrospective study analysed 2892 donors who underwent donor hepatectomy for LDLT between January 2008 and January 2018. Sarcopenia was classified into pre-sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia, which were determined to be -1 standard deviation (SD), and -2 SD from the mean baseline of the skeletal muscle index, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between donor sarcopenia and postoperative AKI. Additionally, we assessed the association between donor sarcopenia and delayed recovery of liver function (DRHF). RESULTS In the multivariate analysis, donor sarcopenia was significantly associated a higher incidence of postoperative AKI (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-6.11, P = .022 in pre-sarcopenia, OR: 5.59, 95% CI: 1.11-28.15, P = .037 in severe sarcopenia, respectively). Additionally, hypertension and synthetic colloid use were significantly associated with postoperative AKI. In the multivariate analysis, risk factors of DRHF were male gender, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes, and graft type, however, donor sarcopenia was not a risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Donor sarcopenia is associated with postoperative AKI following donor hepatectomy.

Abstract
Among the chronic non-communicable degenerative diseases (CDNCDs), chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a global public health problem. Recent studies demonstrate a mutual cause–effect relationship between CKD and oral diseases, in which the presence of one induces the onset and faster progression of the other. In particular, the oral cavity alterations more frequent in CKD patients are: chronic periodontitis diseases, bone lesions, oral infections, and oral cancer lesions. Currently, a standardized therapy for the treatment of oral diseases is lacking. For this reason, natural bioactive compounds (NBCs), characterized by several health effects, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer actions, represent a new possible adjuvant therapy in the management of these pathological conditions. Among NBCs, polyphenols play a leading role due to positive modulation of oral microbiota, preventing and correcting oral dysbiosis. Moreover, these compounds exert anti-inflammatory effects, such as inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the expression of cycloxigenase-2. In this light, the formulation of a new mouthwash/gel/gingival paste, with a high content of polyphenols in association with NBCs characterized by antimicrobial action, could represent a future therapy of oral disease in CKD patients.

Abstract
Objectives Insulin resistance in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stimulates muscle wasting, but the molecular processes behind the resistance are undetermined. However, inflammation in skeletal muscle is implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and cachexia. Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are known to regulate local innate immune responses, and microarray data have shown that Tlr13 is upregulated in the muscles of mice with CKD, but the relevance is unknown. Materials and Methods We performed in vitro experiments in C2C12 myotubes and constructed a CKD murine model using subtotal nephrectomy to conduct experiments in vivo. Results Tlr13 expression was stimulated in C2C12 myotubes treated with uremic serum. The expression of Tlr13 was also upregulated in the tibialis anterior muscles of mice with CKD. Tlr13 knockdown with siRNAs in skeletal muscle cells decreased insulin resistance despite the inclusion of uremic serum. This led to increased levels of p‐AKT and suppression of protein degradation. Using immunofluorescence staining and coimmunoprecipitation assay, we found that TLR13 recruits IRF3, which activates Irf3 expression, resulting in decreased AKT activity. Moreover, insulin resistance and proteolysis are re‐induced by Irf3 overexpression under Tlr13 deletion. Conclusions Our results indicate that TLR13 is involved in CKD‐mediated insulin resistance in muscle. In catabolic conditions where insulin signaling is impaired, targeting TLR13 may improve insulin sensitivity and prevent muscle atrophy.

Abstract
Objectives There is limited literature on the prevalence and determinants of sarcopenia in the Indian predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. The current study attempts to characterize sarcopenia in CKD stages 3 & 4 using 3-compartment model dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods This is secondary data from a randomized trial on bicarbonate supplementation for preserving muscle mass. A 3-compartment DXA was done to assess body composition in 188 subjects aged 18 to 65, with stable kidney function. Sarcopenia was defined by Asian Working Group criteria - appendicular skeletal mass index < 5.4 kg/m2 in women and < 7 kg/m2 in men. Results Sarcopenia was present in 69.1% (n = 130). There was no difference in the prevalence of sarcopenia in CKD stage 3 (n = 62; 72.1%) vs CKD stage 4 (n = 68, 66.7%); P = 0.434. A lower body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.69; 95% CI 1.43, 2.01) and lower bicarbonate levels (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.02, 1.47), and age (OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.91, 0.98) was independently associated with the muscle mass. A BMI cut-off of 18 failed to identify sarcopenia in 78.4% (n = 102) subjects (Kappa statistic 0.396). The receiver operating characteristic curve for mid-arm muscle circumference for identifying sarcopenia was 0.651 (95% CI 0.561, 0.740). Conclusions Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in CKD 3 and 4. Sarcopenic individuals are older, with a low BMI and lower bicarbonate levels. The anthropometric parameters and biochemical parameters did not help identify sarcopenia in the predialysis population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The SARC-F questionnaire assesses sarcopenia risk. The addition of a calf circumference measurement, known as SARC-CalF, has been recently proposed. We investigated possible associations of SARC-F and SARC-CalF with sarcopenia traits in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS Thirty patients (17 men; 57 ± 15 years) were enrolled. Sarcopenia risk was assessed by SARC-F (≥4) and SARC-CalF (≥11). Probable (low muscle strength or low skeletal muscle mass [SMM]) and confirmed (both) sarcopenia were diagnosed as recommended by the revised European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People. Muscle strength was assessed by handgrip strength (HGS) and five-time sit-to-stand test (STS-5), and physical performance was evaluated by gait speed. SMM was assessed by bioelectrical impedance. RESULTS Sarcopenia risk by the SARC-F and SARC-CalF were found in 23% (n = 7) and 40% (n = 12) patients, respectively. The SARC-F and SARC-CalF were both associated with physical function, but not with SMM. Probable sarcopenia by HGS was associated with SARC-F and SARC-CalF. Moreover, both showed moderate Kappa agreement with slowness and probable sarcopenia by HGS and/or STS-5, but only SARC-CalF with probable sarcopenia by HGS. A larger sensitivity was found for SARC-CalF than SARC-F in detecting probable sarcopenia by HGS (70% vs 30%) and by HGS and/or STS-5 (63% vs 44%). CONCLUSION SARC-F and SARC-CalF are associated with sarcopenia traits in patients undergoing hemodialysis. SARC-CalF seems to be more strongly associated with sarcopenia traits and present a higher sensitivity for probable sarcopenia than SARC-F, as it adds a direct measurement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical activity is recommended for disability prevention in the older adult population; however, the level of physical activity required for older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown. This study aimed to examine the associations between daily physical activity and disability incidence in older adults with and without CKD to determine relevant daily physical activity levels. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 3,786 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years. MEASUREMENTS Mean daily times spent in light- (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured using triaxial accelerometers. CKD was defined by a creatinine estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Disability incidence was identified as long-term care insurance certification during a 60-month follow-up period. Associations between physical activity and disability incidence were examined using Cox proportional hazard models stratified by the CKD status. Non-linear and linear associations were tested using the restricted cubic spline. RESULTS A total of 1,054 individuals were identified to have CKD. Disability incidence was higher in the CKD group than in the non-CKD group. The adjusted cox proportional hazard models indicated that a 10-minute increase in MVPA time was associated with lower disability incidence in the non-CKD group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.838; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.764-0.918) and the CKD group (HR, 0.859; 95% CI: 0.766-0.960). Linear associations were observed in MVPA for the non-CKD and CKD groups. CONCLUSION Increasing MVPA was associated with lower disability incidence in older adults with and without CKD. These findings can help devise disability prevention strategies for older CKD patients.

Abstract
Uremic sarcopenia, which is highly prevalent in dialysis patients, leads to an increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as poor quality of life, falls, fracture, hospitalization, and even mortality. Therefore, early detection of uremic sarcopenia is crucial for administering quick and adequate multidisciplinary therapy to improve clinical outcomes. This review updates the current information about uremic sarcopenia assessment in chronic dialysis patients. We discuss the methods of assessing skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. We also discuss surrogate markers derived from serum and dialysate creatinine, in addition to emerging screening tools. The prevalence, clinical relevance, and impact of uremic sarcopenia on survival are reviewed and we discuss the limitations and challenges in applying the current working definition of sarcopenia based on the senior population to dialysis patients. The review shows that dialysis patients with skeletal muscle weakness or poor physical performance, either with or without low skeletal muscle mass, should undergo multidisciplinary therapy, included nutritional counseling, lifestyle modification, and exercise intervention, to mitigate the detrimental effects of uremic sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Frailty is a state of homeostenosis associated with adverse outcomes. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases considerably by aging and shares the common risk factors with frailty. We aimed to examine the prevalence and independent associates of frailty status in CKD patients. DESIGN In this single-centre, cross-sectional study, we used the five-item Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illnesses and Loss of Weight (FRAIL) scale to evaluate frailty. A binary logistic regression analysis model including the parameters found to have relationship with frailty in univariate analyses was used to detect independent associates of frailty status. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were given. PARTICIPANTS Study included 148 patients aged 18-80. Sixty (60) patients were end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) (at least for 3 months) and 88 were stage 3-4 CKD patients. Thirty-seven (37) patients (42%) were eGFR G3a, 31 patients (35.3%) were eGFR G3b and 20 patients (22.7%) were eGFR G4 in stage 3-4 CKD patients. MEASUREMENTS Demographics, etiology of CKD, comorbidities, regular drugs, dialysis-related and laboratory data were recorded. FRAIL scale was scored as follows; 0=robust, 1-2=prefrail, and ≥3= frail. The frailty status was compared between frail+prefrail group vs robust (non-frail) group. RESULTS The prevalences of prefrailty and frailty were 68.3% and 3.3% in HD group and 53.4% and zero in stage 3-4 CKD group, respectively (p = 0.025). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, being in HD group (OR=3.87, 95% CI= 1.06-14.19, p=0.04), older age (OR=1.09, 95% CI= 1.04-1.13) and female sex (OR=9.13, 95%CI= 2.82-29.46) were independent risk factors for frailty (p<0.001, for both). CONCLUSION Prefrailty and frailty are quite common among HD and CKD stage 3-4 patients. Being an HD patient is an independent risk factor for non-robust (frail or prefrail) status. Our findings point out a remarkably high prevalence of frailty severity (prefrailty/frailty) phenotype among patients with advanced CKD stages.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, has important clinical ramifications. We aimed to map the existing literature about prevalence, risk factors, associated adverse outcomes, and treatment of sarcopenia in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A scoping review of the literature was conducted to identify relevant articles published from databases' inception to September 2019. Individuals with CKD, regardless of their disease stage and their comorbidities, were included. Only studies with sarcopenia diagnosed using both muscle mass and function, based on published consensus definitions, were included. For studies on treatment, only randomized controlled trials with at least one sarcopenia parameter as an outcome were included. Our search yielded 1318 articles, of which 60 from were eligible for this review. The prevalence of sarcopenia ranged from 4 to 42% according to the definition used, population studied, and the disease stage. Several risk factors for sarcopenia were identified including age, male gender, low BMI, malnutrition, and high inflammatory status. Sarcopenia was found to be associated with several adverse outcomes, including disabilities, hospitalizations, and mortality. In CKD subjects, several therapeutic interventions have been assessed in randomized controlled trial with a muscle mass, strength, or function endpoint, however, studies focusing on sarcopenic CKD individuals are lacking. The key interventions in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in CKD seem to be aerobic and resistance exercises along with nutritional interventions. Whether these interventions are effective to treat sarcopenia and prevent clinical consequences in this population remains to be fully determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high concentration of uremic toxins in their blood and often experience muscle atrophy. Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a uremic toxin produced by tryptophan metabolism. Although an elevated IS level may induce muscle dysfunction, the effect of IS on physiological concentration has not been elucidated. Additionally, the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on muscle hypertrophy have been reported in healthy models; however, it is unclear whether UA ameliorates muscle dysfunction associated with chronic diseases, such as CKD. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether UA can improve the IS-induced impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis. MATERIALS/METHODS C2C12 cells were incubated with or without IS (0.1 mM) and UA (1 or 2 µM) to elucidate the physiological effect of UA on CKD-related mitochondrial dysfunction and its related mechanisms using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS IS suppressed the expression of differentiation marker genes without decreasing cell viability. IS decreased the mitochondrial DNA copy number and ATP levels by downregulating the genes pertaining to mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a, Nrf1, Tfam, Sirt1, and Mef2c), fusion (Mfn1 and Mfn2), oxidative phosphorylation (Cycs and Atp5b), and fatty acid oxidation (Pdk4, Acadm, Cpt1b, and Cd36). Furthermore, IS increased the intracellular mRNA and secretory protein levels of interleukin (IL)-6. Finally, UA ameliorated the IS-induced impairment in C2C12 cells. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that UA improves the IS-induced impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis by affecting differentiation, ATP levels, and IL-6 secretion in C2C12 cells. Therefore, UA could be a novel therapeutic agent for CKD-induced muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic malnutrition and cachexia are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and importance should be given to these complications because they affect the patient's quality of life and prognosis. This study analyzed the correlation between the serum PTH level, nutritional status, and body composition of patients with CKD. METHODS CKD patients were enrolled in Center for Kidney Disease, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from December 1, 2016, to November 30, 2020. Bioelectrical impedance technology was applied to estimate the body composition. The characteristics of the body composition were compared among different stages of CKD patients, and then the correlation between PTH and body composition was analyzed. RESULTS 205 CKD patients were enrolled. Twenty-five patients were in stage 1 or 2 of CKD, 78 patients were in stage 3 or 4, 31 patients were in stage 5 without dialysis (referred to as CKD stage 5A), and 71 patients were in stage 5 with dialysis (referred to as CKD stage 5B). Body composition analysis showed that the patients had a phase angle (PA) of 5.02 ± 1.07°, a percentage of body fat (PBF) of 27.74 ± 8.8%, and a skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) of 7.4 ± 1.34 kg/m2. PBF peaked in the CKD stage 3/4 group and gradually decreased with the progression of CKD. The PA and SMI differed significantly between the CKD stage 1/2 and stage 5B groups. The proportion of low SMI did not differ significantly between the CKD stage 1/2 and stage 3/4 groups, but it was obviously higher in the CKD stage 5A and 5B groups. PTH was significantly correlated with BMI, hemoglobin, albumin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and SMI. Binary logistic regression of low SMI showed that the odds ratio for PTH levels was greater than the upper limit of the normal range, which was 11.769 (p=0.043, 95% confidence interval: 1.078-128.536), and the model predictive power was 0.986 after correction for age, sex, height, weight, hemoglobin, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, and basal metabolic rate. CONCLUSIONS Bioelectrical impedance analysis might be useful in estimating the nutritional status of CKD patients in terms of fat and muscle parameters. High levels of PTH are an independent risk factor for developing low SMI in CKD patients.

Abstract
Elevations in plasma phosphate concentrations (hyperphosphatemia) occur in chronic kidney disease (CKD), in certain genetic disorders, and following the intake of a phosphate-rich diet. Whether hyperphosphatemia and/or associated changes in metabolic regulators, including elevations of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) directly contribute to specific complications of CKD is uncertain. Here, we report that similar to patients with CKD, mice with adenine-induced CKD develop inflammation, anemia, and skeletal muscle wasting. These complications are also observed in mice fed high phosphate diet even without CKD. Ablation of pathologic FGF23-FGFR4 signaling did not protect mice on an increased phosphate diet or mice with adenine-induced CKD from these sequelae. However, low phosphate diet ameliorated anemia and skeletal muscle wasting in a genetic mouse model of CKD. Our mechanistic in vitro studies indicate that phosphate elevations induce inflammatory signaling and increase hepcidin expression in hepatocytes, a potential causative link between hyperphosphatemia, anemia, and skeletal muscle dysfunction. Our study suggests that high phosphate intake, as caused by the consumption of processed food, may have harmful effects irrespective of pre-existing kidney injury, supporting not only the clinical utility of treating hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients but also arguing for limiting phosphate intake in healthy individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of neuromuscular impairments plus psychosocial aspects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may predispose these patients to greater risk for experiencing increased levels of fatigability. There has been extensive clinical and scientific interest in the problem of fatigue in CKD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, whereas less attention has been directed to understanding fatigability. Accordingly, the primary purposes of this review are to (1) discuss fatigue and fatigability and their potential interactions in patients with CKD and ESKD, (2) provide evidence for increased fatigability in CKD and ESKD patients, (3) examine how commonly experienced neuromuscular impairments in CKD and ESKD patients may contribute to the severity of performance fatigability, and (4) highlight preliminary evidence on the effects of exercise as a potential clinical treatment for targeting fatigability in this population. SUMMARY Fatigue is broadly defined as a multidimensional construct encompassing a subjective lack of physical and/or mental energy that is perceived by the individual to interfere with usual or desired activities. In contrast, fatigability is conceptualized within the context of physical activity and is quantified as the interactions between reductions in objective measures of performance (i.e., performance fatigability) and perceptual adjustments regulating activity performance (i.e., perceived fatigability). We propose herein a conceptual model to extend current understandings of fatigability by considering the interactions among fatigue, perceived fatigability, and performance fatigability. Neuromuscular impairments reported in patients with CKD and ESKD, including reductions in force capacity, skeletal muscle atrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormal skeletal muscle excitability, and neurological complications, may each contribute to the greater performance fatigability observed in these patients. KEY MESSAGES Considering the interactions among fatigue, perceived fatigability, and performance fatigability provides a novel conceptual framework to advance the understanding of fatigability in CKD and ESKD patients. Measures of fatigability may provide valuable clinical insights into the overall health status of CKD and ESKD patients. Existing data suggest that CKD and ESKD patients are at greater risk of experiencing increased fatigability, partly due to neuromuscular impairments associated with reduced kidney function. Further investigations are warranted to determine the potential clinical role fatigability measures can play in monitoring the health of CKD and ESKD patients, and in identifying potential treatments targeting fatigability in this patient population.

Abstract
Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily. It is expressed by animal and human skeletal muscle cells where it limits muscle growth and promotes protein breakdown. Its effects are influenced by complex mechanisms including transcriptional and epigenetic regulation and modulation by extracellular binding proteins. Due to its actions in promoting muscle atrophy and cachexia, myostatin has been investigated as a promising therapeutic target to counteract muscle mass loss in experimental models and patients affected by different muscle-wasting conditions. Moreover, growing evidence indicates that myostatin, beyond to regulate skeletal muscle growth, may have a role in many physiologic and pathologic processes, such as obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. In this chapter, we review myostatin biology, including intracellular and extracellular regulatory pathways, and the role of myostatin in modulating physiologic processes, such as muscle growth and aging. Moreover, we discuss the most relevant experimental and clinical evidence supporting the extra-muscle effects of myostatin. Finally, we consider the main strategies developed and tested to inhibit myostatin in clinical trials and discuss the limits and future perspectives of the research on myostatin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many consensuses to diagnose sarcopenia, and their agreement in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) is not clear. We described the sarcopenia prevalence in patients receiving HD using different consensuses and analyzed their level of agreement. METHODS Sixty-seven patients (43 men, 55 ± 14.6 years) were evaluated for appendicular skeletal muscle mass using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and muscle strength using handgrip strength. Patients were classified according to different sarcopenia consensuses (European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People [EWGSOP], Revised EWGSOP [EWGSOP2], Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Project [FNIH], and Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 [AWGS2]). Kappa analysis identified the level of agreement. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia ranged from 1.5% to 11.9% depending on the sarcopenia consensus. The agreement between the different consensuses ranged from poor to almost perfect. FNIH and EWGSOP showed the lowest agreement (κ = 0.20; 95% CI, -0.14 to 0.54; P < 0.05), whereas EWGSOP2 and AWGS2 had the largest κ = 0.90 (95% CI, 0.71 to 1.00; P < 0.001). When stratified by age (≥60 years), the sarcopenia prevalence was higher in the older group (27% vs 2%; P = 0.004). In addition, male participants seemed to be more prone to sarcopenia compared with female counterparts, but this difference was not statistically confirmed (16% vs 4%; P = 0.242). CONCLUSION The sarcopenia consensuses showed from poor to almost perfect agreement, which varied the sarcopenia prevalence rates in patients receiving HD. EWGSOP2 and AWGS2 showed the largest agreement.

Abstract
Bone and muscle tissue are developed hand-in-hand during childhood and adolescence and interact through mechanical loads and biochemical pathways forming the musculoskeletal system. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is widely considered as both a bone and muscle-weakening disease, eventually leading to frailty phenotype, with detrimental effects on overall morbidity. CKD also interferes in the biomechanical communication between two tissues. Pathogenetic mechanisms including systemic inflammation, anorexia, physical inactivity, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, impaired growth hormone/insulin growth factor 1 axis, insulin resistance, and activation of renin-angiotensin system are incriminated for longitudinal uncoordinated loss of bone mineral content, bone strength, muscle mass, and muscle strength, leading to mechanical impairment of the functional muscle-bone unit. At the same time, CKD may also interfere in the biochemical crosstalk between the two organs, through inhibiting or stimulating the expression of certain osteokines and myokines. This review focuses on presenting current knowledge, according to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies, concerning the pathogenetic pathways involved in the muscle-bone axis, and suggests approaches aimed at preventing bone loss and muscle wasting in the pediatric population. Novel therapeutic targets for preserving musculoskeletal health in the context of CKD are also discussed.

Abstract
Previous systematic reviews elucidate the efficacy of Tai Chi on the rehabilitation and treatment for various chronic diseases. Yet, no consensus has been reached on its efficacy and safety from those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to critically summarize what is already known about the prevailing benefits of Tai Chi for CKD patients. There was no evidence that Tai Chi had adverse effects on CKD patients. Long-term Tai Chi exercises could improve quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, and physical motor function for the end-stage renal disease (ERSD) patients undergoing dialysis. Regular Tai Chi exercises might exert modest influences in delaying CKD progression for mild-moderate CKD patients. However, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate positive effects of Tai Chi exercises on bone health of the ESRD patients. Accordingly, rigorously designed, longer-term studies of Tai Chi are warranted to identify its efficacy on CKD patients across different stages, especially targeting potential mechanisms in terms of Tai Chi altering biological gene profile expressions.

Inflammation and physical dysfunction: responses to moderate intensity exercise in chronic kidney disease. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021; 37:860-868.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience skeletal muscle wasting, reduced levels of physical function and performance, and chronic systemic inflammation. While it is known that a relationship exists between inflammation and muscle wasting, the association between inflammation and physical function or performance in CKD has not been well studied. Exercise has anti-inflammatory effects, but little is known regarding the effect of moderate intensity exercise. This study aimed to (i) compare systemic and intramuscular inflammation between CKD stage G3b-5 and non-CKD controls; (ii) establish whether a relationship exists between physical performance, exercise capacity and inflammation in CKD; (iii) determine changes in systemic and intramuscular inflammation following 12 weeks of exercise; and (iv) investigate whether improving inflammatory status via training contributes to improvements in physical performance and muscle mass. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of previously collected data. CKD patients stages G3b-5 (n = 84, n = 43 males) and non-CKD controls (n = 26, n = 17 males) underwent tests of physical performance, exercise capacity, muscle strength and muscle size. In addition, a subgroup of CKD participants underwent 12 weeks of exercise training, randomized to aerobic (AE, n = 21) or combined (CE, n = 20) training. Plasma and intramuscular inflammation and myostatin were measured at rest and following exercise. RESULTS Tumour necrosis factor-α was negatively associated with lower $^{^{^{.}}}{\rm V}$O2Peak (P = 0.01), Rectus femoris-cross sectional area (P = 0.002) and incremental shuttle walk test performance (P < 0.001). Interleukin-6 was negatively associated with sit-to-stand 60 performances (P = 0.006) and hand grip strength (P = 0.001). Unaccustomed exercise created an intramuscular inflammatory response that was attenuated following 12 weeks of training. Exercise training did not reduce systemic inflammation, but AE training did significantly reduce mature myostatin levels (P = 0.02). Changes in inflammation were not associated with changes in physical performance. CONCLUSIONS Systemic inflammation may contribute to reduced physical function in CKD. Twelve weeks of exercise training was unable to reduce the level of chronic systemic inflammation in these patients, but did reduce plasma myostatin concentrations. Further research is required to further investigate this.

Healthy and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Dogs Have Differences in Serum Metabolomics and Renal Diet May Have Slowed Disease Progression. Metabolites 2021; 11:metabo11110782. [PMID: 34822440 PMCID: PMC8623449 DOI: 10.3390/metabo11110782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent in dogs, and metabolomics investigation has been recently introduced for a better understanding of the role of diet in CKD. This study aimed to compare the serum metabolomic profile of healthy dogs (CG) and dogs with CKD (CKD-T0 and CKD-T6) to evaluate whether the diet would affect metabolites. Six dogs (5 females; 1 male; 7.47 ± 2.31 years old) with CKD stage 3 or 4 (IRIS) were included. CG consisted of 10 healthy female dogs (5.89 ± 2.57 years old) fed a maintenance diet. Serum metabolites were analyzed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were performed to assess differences in metabolomic profiles between groups and before (CKD-T0) and after renal diet (CKD-T6). Data analysis was performed on SIMCA-P software. Dogs with CKD showed an altered metabolic profile with increased urea, creatinine, creatine, citrate, and lipids. Lactate, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and glutamine were decreased in the CKD group. However, after 6 months of diet, the metabolite profiles of CKD-T0 and CKD-T6 were similar. Metabolomics profile may be useful to evaluate and recognize metabolic dysfunction and progression of CKD, and the diet may have helped maintain and retard the progression of CKD.

Abstract
We examined in a rat model of Gulf War illness (GWI), the potential of (-)-epicatechin (Epi) to reverse skeletal muscle (SkM) atrophy and dysfunction, decrease mediators of inflammation and normalize metabolic perturbations. Male Wistar rats (n = 15) were provided orally with pyridostigmine bromide (PB) 1.3 mg/kg/day, permethrin (PM) 0.13 mg/kg/day (skin), DEET 40 mg/kg/day (skin) and were physically restrained for 5 min/day for 3 weeks. A one-week period ensued to fully develop the GWI-like profile followed by 2 weeks of either Epi treatment at 1 mg/kg/day by gavage (n = 8) or water (n = 7) for controls. A normal, control group (n = 15) was given vehicle and not restrained. At 6 weeks, animals were subjected to treadmill and limb strength testing followed by euthanasia. SkM and blood sampling was used for histological, biochemical and plasma pro-inflammatory cytokine and metabolomics assessments. GWI animals developed an intoxication profile characterized SkM atrophy and loss of function accompanied by increases in modulators of muscle atrophy, degradation markers and plasma pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Treatment of GWI animals with Epi yielded either a significant partial or full normalization of the above stated indicators relative to normal controls. Plasma metabolomics revealed that metabolites linked to inflammation and SkM waste pathways were dysregulated in the GWI group whereas Epi, attenuated such changes. In conclusion, in a rat model of GWI, Epi partially reverses detrimental changes in SkM structure including modulators of atrophy, inflammation and select plasma metabolites yielding improved function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Age and comorbidity-related sarcopenia represent a main cause of muscle dysfunction in patients on long-term hemodialysis. However, recent findings suggest muscle abnormalities that are not associated with sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to isolate functional and cellular muscle abnormalities independently of other major confounding factors, including malnutrition, age, comorbidity, or sedentary lifestyle, which are common in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. To overcome these confounding factors, alterations in skeletal muscle were analyzed in highly selected patients on long-term hemodialysis undergoing kidney transplantation. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In total, 22 patients on long-term hemodialysis scheduled for kidney transplantation with few comorbidities, but with a long-term uremic milieu exposure, and 22 age, sex, and physical activity level frequency-matched control participants were recruited. We compared biochemical, functional, and molecular characteristics of the skeletal muscle using maximal voluntary force and endurance of the quadriceps, 6-minute walking test, and muscle biopsy of vastus lateralis. For statistical analysis, mean comparison and multiple regression tests were used. RESULTS In patients on long-term hemodialysis, muscle endurance was lower, whereas maximal voluntary force was not significantly different. We observed a transition from type I (oxidative) to type II (glycolytic) muscle fibers, and an alteration of mitochondrial structure (swelling) without changes in DNA content, genome replication (peroxisome proliferator activator receptor γ coactivator-1α and mitochondrial transcription factor A), regulation of fusion (mitofusin and optic atrophy 1), or fission (dynamin-related protein 1). Notably, there were autophagosome structures containing glycogen along with mitochondrial debris, with a higher expression of light chain 3 (LC3) protein, indicating phagophore formation. This was associated with a greater conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II and the expression of Gabaralp1 and Bnip3l genes involved in mitophagy. CONCLUSIONS In this highly selected long-term hemodialysis population, a low oxidative phenotype could be defined by a poor endurance, a fiber-type switch, and an alteration of mitochondria structure, without evidence of sarcopenia. This phenotype could be related to uremia through the activation of autophagy/mitophagy. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS NCT02794142 and NCT02040363.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interactions between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and several comorbidities may potentially affect prognosis of older hospitalized patients. This study aims at evaluating the prognostic interactions between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), anemia, sarcopenia, functional and cognitive dysfunction, and 3-year mortality among older patients discharged from acute care hospitals. METHODS Our series consisted of 504 older adults enrolled in a multicenter observational study carried out in twelve Acute Geriatric and Internal Medicine wards throughout Italy. CKD was defined as an eGFR< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Anemia, Short Portable Status Mental Questionnaire (SPMSQ), Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL), sarcopenia, and Charlson index were considered in the analysis. 3-year survival was investigated by Cox regression and prognostic interactions among study variables were assessed by survival tree analysis. Accuracy of different survival models was investigated by C-index. RESULTS eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, anemia, sarcopenia, SPMSQ ≥ 5, and impairment in 1 or more BADL were significantly associated with mortality. Survival tree analysis showed that patients with eGFR < 35.32 ml/min/1.73 m2 and SPMSQ ≥ 5 had the highest risk of mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 5.49, 95%CI: 3.04-9.94] followed by those with eGFR < 35.32 ml/min/1.73 m2, hemoglobin < 11.95 g/dL and SPMSQ < 5 (HR:3.65; 95%CI: 2.21-6.02) and those with eGFR 35.32-47.99 ml/min/1.73 m2 and sarcopenia (HR:3.65; 95%CI: 1.99-6.69). Survival tree leaf node membership had good accuracy in predicting the study outcome (C-index: 0.73, 95%CI:0.70-0.76). CONCLUSIONS Interactions among study risk factors designed distinct risk profiles in older patients discharged from acute care hospitals, that may help identify patients needing targeted interventions and appropriate follow-up after discharge.

Mass spectrometry-based multi-omics analysis reveals the thermogenetic regulation of herbal medicine in rat model of yeast-induced fever. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 279:114382. [PMID: 34197959 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 06/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In the principle of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), clinical usage is based on drug attributes of the herbal medicine. The cold and hot properties of TCM are classified accordingly to their pharmacological effects, such as temperature change. Herbal medicine has been used as food supplements in our daily life, and the thermogenetic regulation is one of their primary applications. However, the underlying mechanism of "cold" or "hot" stimulating effect of herbal medicine has not been fully identified. AIM OF THE STUDY Thermogenetic regulation and classification of herbal medicine of hot/cold herbs were determined by rat model of yeast-induced fever. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, a novel method in classifying and characterizing cold- and hot-herbal medicines was established by analyses of mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics and lipidomics from the serum of herbal extract-treated rats. The yeast-induced inflammatory rats were used as the model system, which were subjected to the treatments of cold- or hot-herbal medicine. RESULTS The multi-omics approach identified the clustering of metabolites from cold and hot herb-treated rat serum by using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and which subsequently identified that the 8-h treatment was the metabolic perturbation point of herb-mediated thermogenesis. Meanwhile, the levels of identified metabolites in the serum, i.e. lysoPE, lysoPC and carnitine, showed a positive relationship with the regulation of body temperature; while the levels of amino acid, fatty acid and bile acid were contrary correlated with the temperature change. In addition, the differential expressed metabolites were subjected to pathway enrichment and network analyses in revealing the possible action mechanism of herbal medicines in relating to thermogenetic regulation. CONCLUSION The developed MS-based omics provides a new insight in characterizing the properties of cold/hot herbal medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sarcopenia is a clinical condition that comprises declined skeletal muscle (SM) mass and SM strength, and is a risk factor for physical disability, impaired quality of life, and advanced morbidity and mortality in patients on hemodialysis (HD). The existing difficulty in evaluating SM mass and consequently of sarcopenia, with affordable and practical methods in clinical practice, is well established. The purpose of this study is to examine the creatinine index (CrI), a surrogate of SM mass, as a potential predictive marker of sarcopenia. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we included 130 patients on HD with a mean age of 66.17 ± 12.47 years. SM mass and SM strength were evaluated with CrI and hand grip strength, respectively. Anthropometric, adiposity, nutritional, and biochemical assessments were also performed. Partial correlation and multivariate regression analyses were applied to investigate the association between CrI and SM strength. RESULTS Correlation analysis showed that mid-arm circumference, calf circumference, Geriatric nutritional index, and albumin-to-total protein ratio were positively associated with SM strength. Multivariate model indicated that CrI (β = 2.05, p < 0.001) and dialysis duration (β =- 0.53, p = 0.001) were independently related to SM strength. The significant positive correlation between CrI and SM strength remained unaffected even after adjusting for potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS Creatinine Index was significantly associated with SM strength highlighting its value as a new emerging practical in clinical setting sarcopenia predictive marker in HD patients.

Abstract
Few studies have investigated the relationship between sarcopenia and mild to moderate renal decline. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sarcopenia. In total, 123 patients hospitalized with CKD and 57 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination during the same period (control group) were analyzed. Body compositions were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and the relative appendicular skeletal muscle index (RASMI) was calculated. Muscular strength was evaluated using hydraulic hand dynamometer. Walking speed within 6 m was measured for muscular function assessment. Single-photon emission computed tomography was performed to measure the glomerular filtration rate of CKD patients, who were then divided into CKD1 (55 patients in CKD stages 1 and 2) and CKD2 (68 patients in CKD stages 3-5). RASMI showed a downward trend with CKD progression (P = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age and CKD progression were independent risk factors for sarcopenia. The morbidity of sarcopenia was significantly greater in CKD patients than in healthy volunteers, and the degree of muscle loss was closely related to CKD progression.

Butyrate ameliorates skeletal muscle atrophy in diabetic nephropathy by enhancing gut barrier function and FFA2-mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signals. Br J Pharmacol 2021; 179:159-178. [PMID: 34638162 DOI: 10.1111/bph.15693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Muscle protein catabolism in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) results in striking loss of muscle proteins, which increases morbidity and mortality risks. Evidence shows that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play an important role in health maintenance and disease development. Recently, the connection between butyrate (a SCFA) and DN has been revealed, although the relationship between butyrate and muscle atrophy remains unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We studied changes in serum butyrate levels in DN patients using metabolomic analyses. In db/db mice, protective effects of butyrate on DN-induced muscle atrophy. were explored. Inhibition of muscle atrophy by butyrate and the underlying mechanism(s) were studied in C2C12 cells exposed to high glucose/lipopolysaccharide (HG/LPS). KEY RESULTS Butyrate levels in DN patients were significantly decreased. In db/db mice, supplementing normal diet with butyrate improved intestinal barrier function. Concurrently, butyrate alleviated muscle atrophy, promoted PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling, and suppressed oxidative stress and autophagy in skeletal muscle of db/db mice, and in HG/LPS-exposed C2C12 cells. Further, FFA2 receptors, key components of SCFA signalling, were decreased in skeletal muscle of db/db mice and in HG/LPS-exposed C2C12 cells. Overexpression of FFA2 receptors activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling and inhibited oxidative stress and autophagy in HG/LPS-exposed C2C12 cells. Silencing of FFA2 blocked PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling that was improved by butyrate, as well as the suppression of oxidative stress and reduction of autophagy. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATION Butyrate exerts protective effects on muscle atrophy induced by DN by enhancing intestinal barrier function and activating the FFA2 receptor-mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

The difference between cystatin C- and creatinine-based eGFR is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease. Atherosclerosis 2021; 335:53-61. [PMID: 34571286 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2021.08.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Decreased kidney function is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, assessing risk of CVD may be difficult when there is a gap between creatinine- and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We studied the association of the difference in eGFRs with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This prospective cohort study was conducted in 2076 patients with CKD stages based on the KDIGO guideline (eGFR categories of G1: ≥90; G 2: 60-89; G3: 30-59; G4: 15-29; G5: <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 without kidney replacement therapy). The difference in eGFR (eGFRdiff) was calculated by subtracting the cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcys) from the creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcreat). The primary outcome was MACE, defined as non-fatal acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, stroke, congestive heart failure, symptomatic arrhythmia, and cardiac death. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.1 years, MACE occurred in 147 patients (incidence rate, 15.0 per 1000 patient-years). When patients were categorized into baseline eGFRdiff tertiles, the highest tertile was associated with a significantly higher risk of MACE (hazard ratio, 2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28-3.51) than the lowest tertile when adjusted for eGFRcreat, eGFRcys, or eGFR based on both creatinine and cystatin C. Patients in the highest tertile had more baseline coronary artery calcification (CAC) than those in the lowest tertile (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.03-1.86). In addition, 978 patients had data for both baseline and follow-up CAC at year 4. In this subgroup, baseline eGFRdiff was significantly associated with accelerated CAC progression (≥50/year) (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05). CONCLUSIONS A large positive difference between eGFRcreat and eGFRcys was associated with a higher risk of MACE and faster CAC progression in patients with CKD. Therefore, careful monitoring of CVD is needed for patients with a higher eGFRdiff.

Abstract
Introduction: The primary aims of the present study were to assess the relationships of early (0–50 ms) and late (100–200 ms) knee extensor rate of force development (RFD) with maximal voluntary force (MVF) and sit-to-stand (STS) performance in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not requiring dialysis. Methods: Thirteen men with CKD (eGFR = 35.17 ±.5 ml/min per 1.73 m2, age = 70.56 ±.4 years) and 12 non-CKD men (REF) (eGFR = 80.31 ± 4.8 ml/min per 1.73 m2, age = 70.22 ±.9 years) performed maximal voluntary isometric contractions to determine MVF and RFD of the knee extensors. RFD was measured at time intervals 0–50 ms (RFD0−50) and 100–200 ms (RFD100−200). STS was measured as the time to complete five repetitions. Measures of rectus femoris grayscale (RF GSL) and muscle thickness (RF MT) were obtained via ultrasonography in the CKD group only. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were used to examine differences between groups. Bivariate relationships were assessed by Pearson's product moment correlation. Results: Knee extensor MVF adjusted for body weight (CKD=17.14 ±.1 N·kg0.67, REF=21.55 ±.3 N·kg0.67, SMD = 0.79) and STS time (CKD = 15.93 ±.4 s, REF = 12.23 ±.7 s, SMD = 1.03) were lower in the CKD group than the REF group. Absolute RFD100−200 was significantly directly related to adjusted MVF in CKD (r = 0.56, p = 0.049) and REF (r = 0.70, p = 0.012), respectively. STS time was significantly inversely related to absolute (r = −0.75, p = 0.008) and relative RFD0−50 (r = −0.65, p = 0.030) in CKD but not REF (r = 0.08, p = 0.797; r = 0.004, p = 0.991). Significant inverse relationships between RF GSL adjusted for adipose tissue thickness and absolute RFD100−200 (r =−0.59, p = 0.042) in CKD were observed. Conclusion: The results of the current study highlight the declines in strength and physical function that occur in older men with CKD stages 3b and 4 not requiring dialysis. Moreover, early RFD was associated with STS time in CKD while late RFD was associated MVF in both CKD and REF.

Dynapaenia and sarcopaenia in chronic haemodialysis patients: do muscle weakness and atrophy similarly influence poor outcome? Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021; 36:1908-1918. [PMID: 33306128 DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfaa353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopaenia, defined as a decline in both muscle mass and function, has been recognized as a major determinant of poor outcome in haemodialysis (HD) patients. It is generally assumed that sarcopaenia is driven by muscle atrophy related to protein-energy wasting. However, dynapaenia, defined as weakness without atrophy, has been characterized by a different disease phenotype from sarcopaenia. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and prognosis of sarcopaenic and dynapaenic patients among a prospective cohort of chronic HD (CHD) patients. METHODS Two hundred and thirty-two CHD patients were enrolled from January to July 2016 and then followed prospectively until December 2018. At inclusion, weakness and atrophy were, respectively, evaluated by maximal voluntary force (MVF) and creatinine index (CI). Sarcopaenia was defined as the association of weakness and atrophy (MVF and CI below the median) while dynapaenia was defined as weakness not related to atrophy (MVF below the median, and CI above the median). RESULTS From a total of 187 prevalent CHD patients [65% of men, age 65.3 (49.7-82.0) years], 44 died during the follow-up period of 23.7 (12.4-34.9) months. Sarcopaenia and dynapaenia were observed in 33.7 and 16% of the patients, respectively. Compared with patients with sarcopaenia, patients with dynapaenia were younger and with a lower Charlson score. In contrast, mortality rate was similar in both groups (38 and 27%, respectively). After adjustment for age, sex, lean tissue index, serum albumin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), haemoglobin (Hb), normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR), dialysis vintage and Charlson score, only patients with dynapaenia were at increased risk of death [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.99, confidence interval 1.18-7.61; P = 0.02]. CONCLUSIONS Screening for muscle functionality is highly warranted to identify patients with muscle functional impairment without muscle atrophy. In contrast to sarcopaenia, dynapaenia should appear as a phenotype induced by uraemic milieu, characterized by young patients with low Charlson score and poor prognosis outcome independently of serum albumin, hs-CRP, Hb, nPCR and dialysis vintage.

Abstract
The population is aging. Although older adults have higher rates of comorbidities and adverse health events, they represent a heterogeneous group with different health trajectories. Frailty, a clinical syndrome of decreased physiological reserve and increased susceptibility to illness and death, has emerged as a potential risk stratification tool in older patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Frailty is commonly observed in patients with CKD and associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including falls, decreased quality of life, hospitalizations, and death. Multiple pathologic factors contribute to the development of frailty in patients with CKD, including biological mechanisms of aging and physiological dysregulation. Current interventions to reduce frailty are promising, but additional investigations are needed to determine whether optimizing frailty measures improves renal and overall health outcomes. This review of frailty in CKD examines frailty definitions, the impact of frailty on health outcomes across the CKD spectrum, mechanisms of frailty, and antifrailty interventions (e.g., exercise or senescent cell clearance) tested in CKD patients. In addition, existing knowledge gaps, limitations of current frailty definitions in CKD, and challenges surrounding effective antifrailty strategies in CKD are considered.

Abstract
Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterized by diastolic dysfunction (DD), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and fibrosis. Angiotensin-II plays a major role in the development of uremic cardiomyopathy via nitro-oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms. In heart failure, the beta-3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) is up-regulated and coupled to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-mediated pathways, exerting antiremodeling effects. We aimed to compare the antiremodeling effects of the angiotensin-II receptor blocker losartan and the β3-AR agonist mirabegron in uremic cardiomyopathy. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was induced by 5/6th nephrectomy in male Wistar rats. Five weeks later, rats were randomized into four groups: (1) sham-operated, (2) CKD, (3) losartan-treated (10 mg/kg/day) CKD, and (4) mirabegron-treated (10 mg/kg/day) CKD groups. At week 13, echocardiographic, histologic, laboratory, qRT-PCR, and Western blot measurements proved the development of uremic cardiomyopathy with DD, LVH, fibrosis, inflammation, and reduced eNOS levels, which were significantly ameliorated by losartan. However, mirabegron showed a tendency to decrease DD and fibrosis; but eNOS expression remained reduced. In uremic cardiomyopathy, β3-AR, sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA), and phospholamban levels did not change irrespective of treatments. Mirabegron reduced the angiotensin-II receptor 1 expression in uremic cardiomyopathy that might explain its mild antiremodeling effects despite the unchanged expression of the β3-AR.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine whether certain diets lower the risk of low muscle strength in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). In this cross-sectional study, outpatient ADPKD patients were enrolled from a tertiary care hospital. Muscle strength was assessed on the basis of handgrip strength (HGS), and dietary pattern indices were calculated using dietary intake data. Among the 68 participants included in this study, 19 (27.9%) had low HGS. Cystatin C concentrations were significantly higher in all participants, and in women in the low compared to the normal HGS group in the unadjusted analyses (P = 0.004). Among analyzed dietary pattern indices, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score was lower, for all participants and men, in the low compared to the normal HGS group (P < 0.05). Especially, the component score for whole grains of the DASH score was significantly lower in men in the low compared to the normal HGS group in unadjusted analyses. The DASH score was positively correlated with HGS in men (r = 0.387, P = 0.046). In addition, logistic regression analysis showed that the DASH score was negatively associated with low HGS, for all participants (odds ratio = 0.851, P = 0.049) and men (odds ratio = 0.716, P = 0.043), after adjusting for age, sex, and body weight. These findings suggest that the DASH dietary pattern may promote the preservation of muscle strength in ADPKD patients. The DASH diet can be considered as a nutritional strategy to maintain muscle strength and prevent sarcopenia in ADPKD patients.

[PMID: 34638101 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2021.111469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the associations of hand grip strength (HGS) with body composition, functional capacity, muscle quality, and inflammatory markers in people receiving maintenance hemodialysis. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study in people receiving maintenance hemodialysis. HGS was measured by hydraulic dynamometer on the upper limb without fistula. Participants were stratified into low or adequate HGS, based on population-specific cutoff points. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and functional capacity by the Short Physical Performance Battery and timed up-and-go tests. In addition, serum creatinine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, and ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP) were measured before the dialysis session. RESULTS A total of 67 participants (41.8% women, 58.2% male; ages 54.1 ± 11.7 y) were included. Those with low HGS had worse functional capacity than those with adequate HGS (timed up-and-go test, 10.7 ± 1.0 versus 8.5 ± 0.8 sec, respectively; P < 0.001). IL-6 and us-CRP were higher in those with low HGS than their counterparts (IL-6: 2.7 ± 0.3 versus 1.9 pg/mL, P = 0.03; us-CRP: 14.8 ± 3.0 versus 4.7 ± 1.9 mg/L, P = 0.03). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that appendicular lean mass, us-CRP, age, sex, and seven-point subjective global assessment score were associated with HGS. CONCLUSIONS Participants with low HGS showed higher inflammation and lower functional capacity. In addition to muscle mass, inflammation and nutritional status also affect HGS.<END ABSTRACT>.

Abstract
Impairments in insulin sensitivity can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Correction of metabolic acidosis has been associated with improved insulin sensitivity in CKD, suggesting metabolic acidosis may directly promote insulin resistance. Despite this, the effect of acid or alkali loading on insulin sensitivity in a rodent model of CKD (remnant kidney) has not been directly investigated. Such studies could better define the relationship between blood pH and insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that in remnant kidney rats, acid or alkali loading would promote loss of pH homeostasis and consequently decrease insulin sensitivity. To test this hypothesis, we determined the impact of alkali (2 weeks) or acid (5-7 days) loading on plasma electrolytes, acid-base balance, and insulin sensitivity in either sham control, 2/3 or 5/6 nephrectomy rats. Rats with 5/6 nephrectomy had the greatest response to insulin followed by animals with 2/3 nephrectomy and sham control rats. We found that treatment with a 0.1M sodium bicarbonate solution in drinking water had no effect on insulin sensitivity. Acid loading with 0.1M ammonium chloride resulted in significant reductions in pH and plasma bicarbonate. However, acidosis did not significantly impair insulin sensitivity. Similar effects were observed in Zucker obese rats with 5/6 nephrectomy. The effect of renal mass reduction on insulin sensitivity could not be explained by reduced insulin clearance or increased plasma insulin levels. We found that renal mass reduction alone increases sensitivity to exogenous insulin in rats, and that this is not acutely reversed by development of acidosis.

Abstract
A current hypothesis is that transforming growth factor-β signaling ligands, such as activin-A and myostatin, play a role in vascular damage in atherosclerosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Myostatin and activin-A bind with different affinity the activin receptors (type I or II), activating distinct intracellular signaling pathways and finally leading to modulation of gene expression. Myostatin and activin-A are expressed by different cell types and tissues, including muscle, kidney, reproductive system, immune cells, heart, and vessels, where they exert pleiotropic effects. In arterial vessels, experimental evidence indicates that myostatin may mostly promote vascular inflammation and premature aging, while activin-A is involved in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification and CKD-related mineral bone disorders. In this review, we discuss novel insights into the biology and physiology of the role played by myostatin and activin in the vascular wall, focusing on the experimental and clinical data, which suggest the involvement of these molecules in vascular remodeling and calcification processes. Moreover, we describe the strategies that have been used to modulate the activin downward signal. Understanding the role of myostatin/activin signaling in vascular disease and bone metabolism may provide novel therapeutic opportunities to improve the treatment of conditions still associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a crucial tissue for movement, gestural assistance, metabolic homeostasis, and thermogenesis. It makes up approximately 40% of the total body weight and 50% of total protein. However, several pathological abnormalities (e.g., chronic diseases, cancer, long-term infection, aging) can induce an imbalance in skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation, which triggers muscle wasting and even leads to atrophy. Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by weakening, shrinking, and decreasing muscle mass and fiber cross-sectional area at the histological level. It manifests as a reduction in force production, easy fatigue and decreased exercise capability, along with a lower quality of life. Mechanistically, there are several pathophysiological processes involved in skeletal muscle atrophy, including oxidative stress and inflammation, which then activate signal transduction, such as the ubiquitin proteasome system, autophagy lysosome system, and mTOR. Considering the great economic and social burden that muscle atrophy can inflict, effective prevention and treatment strategies are essential but still limited. Exercise is widely acknowledged as the most effective therapy for skeletal muscle atrophy; unfortunately, it is not applicable for all patients. Several active substances for skeletal muscle atrophy have been discovered and evaluated in clinical trials, however, they have not been marketed to date. Knowledge is being gained on the underlying mechanisms, highlighting more promising treatment strategies in the future. In this paper, the mechanisms and treatment strategies for skeletal muscle atrophy are briefly reviewed.

Ratio of serum creatinine to cystatin C is related to leg strength in predialysis CKD patients. Clin Exp Nephrol 2021; 25:1079-1086.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have lower levels of physical function. Especially, leg strength is important for daily living and preventing falls. However, physical function screenings are difficult to perform at clinical sites. To find clinically useful method to evaluate physical function in predialysis CKD patients, we tried to evaluate the relationship between the ratio of serum creatinine to serum cystatin C (Cre/CysC), and knee extensor muscle strength/body weight (KEMS) which reflects their leg strength. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS We recruited 147 outpatients with CKD (87 men; mean age, 61.6 ± 9.8 years; mean eGFRcreat, 40.7 ± 12.9 mL/min/1.73m2) in this cross-sectional study. KEMS was assessed using a wire strain gauge dynamometer. Skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass were assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. RESULTS The mean value of Cre/CysC was 1.01 ± 0.18. The mean value of KEMS was 1.60 ± 0.47 Nm/kg. In multivariate linear regression analysis, skeletal muscle mass (p < 0.01), body fat mass (p < 0.01), hemoglobin (p = 0.01), and Cre/CysC (p < 0.01) was independently related to KEMS. The correlation between Cre/CysC and KEMS is stronger in high quantile of Cre/CysC. CONCLUSIONS In predialysis CKD patients, KEMS showed lower as CKD stage advanced. Cre/CysC is significantly related to KEMS independently. Cre/CysC may be an alternative marker for leg strength in CKD patients and even more valuable to utilize in cases with high Cre/CysC.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE Low muscle mass relative to fat mass (relative sarcopenia) has been associated with mortality and disability but has not been examined following transplantation. We studied how measures of body composition change after receipt of a kidney allograft. STUDY DESIGN Prospective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 60 kidney transplant recipients (ages 20-60 years) at the University of Pennsylvania. EXPOSURE Kidney transplantation. OUTCOMES DXA measures of fat mass index (FMI) and appendicular lean mass index (ALMI; representing muscle mass), CT measures of muscle density (low density represents increased intramuscular adipose tissue), dynamometer measures of leg muscle strength, and physical activity. ALMI relative to FMI (ALMFMI) is an established index of relative sarcopenia. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Measures expressed as age, sex, and race-specific Z-scores for transplant recipients were compared to 327 healthy controls. Regression models were used to identify correlates of change in outcome Z-scores and compare transplant recipients to controls. RESULTS At transplantation, ALMI, ALMIFMI, muscle strength and muscle density Z-scores were lower vs. controls (all p≤0.001). Transplant recipients received glucocorticoids throughout. The prevalence of obesity increased from 18 to 45%. Although ALMI increased following transplantation (p<0.001) and was comparable to controls from 6 months onward, gains were outpaced by increases in FMI, resulting in persistent ALMIFMI deficits (mean Z-score -0.31 at 24 months, p=0.02 vs controls). Muscle density improved following transplantation despite gains in FMI (p = 0.02). Muscle strength relative to ALMI also improved (p = 0.04) but remained low compared with controls (p=0.01). Exercise increased in the early months following transplantation (p<0.05) but remained lower than controls (p=0.02). LIMITATIONS Lack of muscle biopsies precluded assessment of muscle histology and metabolism. CONCLUSIONS The two-year interval following kidney transplantation was characterized by gains in muscle mass and strength that were outpaced by gains in fat mass resulting in persistent relative sarcopenia.
