Conformational interconversion of MLKL and disengagement from RIPK3 precede cell death by necroptosis. Nat Commun 2021; 12:2211.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the MLKL pseudokinase by the RIPK3 kinase leads to MLKL oligomerization, translocation to, and permeabilization of, the plasma membrane to induce necroptotic cell death. The precise choreography of MLKL activation remains incompletely understood. Here, we report Monobodies, synthetic binding proteins, that bind the pseudokinase domain of MLKL within human cells and their crystal structures in complex with the human MLKL pseudokinase domain. While Monobody-32 constitutively binds the MLKL hinge region, Monobody-27 binds MLKL via an epitope that overlaps the RIPK3 binding site and is only exposed after phosphorylated MLKL disengages from RIPK3 following necroptotic stimulation. The crystal structures identified two distinct conformations of the MLKL pseudokinase domain, supporting the idea that a conformational transition accompanies MLKL disengagement from RIPK3. These studies provide further evidence that MLKL undergoes a large conformational change upon activation, and identify MLKL disengagement from RIPK3 as a key regulatory step in the necroptosis pathway.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD), distinct from accidental cell death, refers to a process of well-controlled programmed cell death with well-defined pathological mechanisms. In the past few decades, various terms for RCDs were coined, and some of them have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of acute kidney injury (AKI). Cisplatin is widely used as a chemotherapeutic drug for a broad spectrum of cancers, but its usage was hampered because of being highly nephrotoxic. Cisplatin-induced AKI is commonly seen clinically, and it also serves as a well-established prototypic model for laboratory investigations relevant to acute nephropathy affecting especially the tubular compartment. Literature reports over a period of three decades have indicated that there are multiple types of RCDs, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial permeability transition-mediated necrosis, and some of them are pertinent to the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced AKI. Interestingly, myo-inositol metabolism, a vital biological process that is largely restricted to the kidney, seems to be relevant to the pathogenesis of certain forms of RCDs. A comprehensive understanding of RCDs in cisplatin-induced AKI and their relevance to myo-inositol homeostasis may yield novel therapeutic targets for the amelioration of cisplatin-related nephropathy.

Attenuating ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat cardiac transplantation by intracoronary infusion with siRNA cocktail solution. Biosci Rep 2021; 40:225833.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), caspase-8, and complement component 5a receptor (C5aR) are known to play a crucial role in the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in cardiac transplantation. We hypothesized that the intracoronary infusion of TNF-α, caspase-8, and C5aR small interfering RNAs (siRNA) would protect cardiac allograft function and improve graft survival from I/R injury-induced organ failure. I/R injury of cardiac allograft was induced by syngeneic rat cardiac transplantation, in which the transplanted hearts were infused with saline or different amounts of siRNA cocktail solution targeting TNF-α, caspase-8, and C5aR via coronary arteries, and subsequently subjected to 18 h of preservation at 4°C in histidine–tryptophan–ketoglutarate (HTK) solution. The effects of siRNA cocktail solution on prolonged cold I/R injury were determined by assessing graft survival, histopathological changes, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. The perfused siRNA cocktail solution successfully knocked down the expression of TNF-α, caspase-8, and C5aR in vitro and in vivo. Approximately 91.7% of control hearts that underwent 18 h of cold ischemia ceased their function after transplantation; however, 87.5% of cardiac allografts from the highest dose siRNA cocktail solution-pretreated hearts survived >14 days and exhibited minimal histological changes, with minimal cellular infiltration, interstitial edema, and inflammation and maximal reduced MPO activity and MDA concentration in the cardiac allograft. We demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of infusion of TNF-α, caspase-8, and C5aR siRNA via the intracoronary route as a promising strategy for gene silencing against I/R injury in cardiac transplantation.

Urinary Cyclophilin A as Marker of Tubular Cell Death and Kidney Injury. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9020217. [PMID: 33672645 PMCID: PMC7924181 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9020217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Despite the term acute kidney injury (AKI), clinical biomarkers for AKI reflect function rather than injury and independent markers of injury are needed. Tubular cell death, including necroptotic cell death, is a key feature of AKI. Cyclophilin A (CypA) is an intracellular protein that has been reported to be released during necroptosis. We have now explored CypA as a potential marker for kidney injury in cultured tubular cells and in clinical settings of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), characterized by limitations of current diagnostic criteria for AKI. Methods: CypA was analyzed in cultured human and murine proximal tubular epithelial cells exposed to chemical hypoxia, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) or other cell death (apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis) inducers. Urinary levels of CypA (uCypA) were analyzed in patients after nephron sparing surgery (NSS) in which the contralateral kidney is not disturbed and kidney grafts with initial function. Results: Intracellular CypA remained unchanged while supernatant CypA increased in parallel to cell death induction. uCypA levels were higher in NSS patients with renal artery clamping (that is, with NSS-IRI) than in no clamping (NSS-no IRI), and in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients (KT-IRI) even in the presence of preserved or improving kidney function, while this was not the case for urinary Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Furthermore, higher uCypA levels in NSS patients were associated with longer surgery duration and the incidence of AKI increased from 10% when using serum creatinine (sCr) or urinary output criteria to 36% when using high uCypA levels in NNS clamping patients. Conclusions: CypA is released by kidney tubular cells during different forms of cell death, and uCypA increased during IRI-induced clinical kidney injury independently from kidney function parameters. Thus, uCypA is a potential biomarker of kidney injury, which is independent from decreased kidney function.

Abstract
The incidence of kidney disease is rising, constituting a significant burden on the healthcare system and making identification of new therapeutic targets increasingly urgent. The heme oxygenase (HO) system performs an important function in the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation and, via these mechanisms, is thought to play a role in the prevention of non-specific injuries following acute renal failure or resulting from chronic kidney disease. The expression of HO-1 is strongly inducible by a wide range of stimuli in the kidney, consequent to the kidney's filtration role which means HO-1 is exposed to a wide range of endogenous and exogenous molecules, and it has been shown to be protective in a variety of nephropathological animal models. Interestingly, the positive effect of HO-1 occurs in both hemolysis- and rhabdomyolysis-dominated diseases, where the kidney is extensively exposed to heme (a major HO-1 inducer), as well as in non-heme-dependent diseases such as hypertension, diabetic nephropathy or progression to end-stage renal disease. This highlights the complexity of HO-1's functions, which is also illustrated by the fact that, despite the abundance of preclinical data, no drug targeting HO-1 has so far been translated into clinical use. The objective of this review is to assess current knowledge relating HO-1's role in the kidney and its potential interest as a nephroprotection agent. The potential therapeutic openings will be presented, in particular through the identification of clinical trials targeting this enzyme or its products.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory cell death pathway that is dysregulated in many human pathologies. The pathway is executed by a core machinery comprising the RIPK1 and RIPK3 kinases, which assemble into necrosomes in the cytoplasm, and the terminal effector pseudokinase, MLKL. RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL induces oligomerization and translocation to the plasma membrane where MLKL accumulates as hotspots and perturbs the lipid bilayer to cause death. The precise choreography of events in the pathway, where they occur within cells, and pathway differences between species, are of immense interest. However, they have been poorly characterized due to a dearth of validated antibodies for microscopy studies. Here, we describe a toolbox of antibodies for immunofluorescent detection of the core necroptosis effectors, RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL, and their phosphorylated forms, in human and mouse cells. By comparing reactivity with endogenous proteins in wild-type cells and knockout controls in basal and necroptosis-inducing conditions, we characterise the specificity of frequently-used commercial and recently-developed antibodies for detection of necroptosis signaling events. Importantly, our findings demonstrate that not all frequently-used antibodies are suitable for monitoring necroptosis by immunofluorescence microscopy, and methanol- is preferable to paraformaldehyde-fixation for robust detection of specific RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL signals.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) initiates from oxidative stress caused by lack of blood supply and subsequent reperfusion. It is often associated with sterile inflammation, cell death and microvascular dysfunction, which ultimately results in myocardial, cerebral and hepatic IRIs. Reportedly, deregulation of Nrf2 pathway plays a significant role in the oxidative stress-induced IRIs. Further, microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are proved to regulate the expression and activation of Nrf2 by targeting either the 3'-UTR or the upstream regulators of Nrf2. Additionally, compounds (crocin, ZnSO4 and ginsenoside Rg1) that modulate the levels of the Nrf2-regulating miRNAs were found to exhibit a protective effect against IRIs of different organs. Therefore, the current review briefs the impact of ischemia reperfusion (I/R) pathogenesis in various organs, role of miRNAs in the regulation of Nrf2 and the I/R protective effect of compounds that alter their expression.

Abstract
Although CEACAM1 (CC1) glycoprotein resides at the interface of immune liver injury and metabolic homeostasis, its role in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) remains elusive. We aimed to determine whether/how CEACAM1 signaling may affect hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and OLT outcomes. In the mouse, donor liver CC1 null mutation augmented IRI-OLT (CC1-KO→WT) by enhancing ROS expression and HMGB1 translocation during cold storage, data supported by in vitro studies where hepatic flush from CC1-deficient livers enhanced macrophage activation in bone marrow-derived macrophage cultures. Although hepatic CC1 deficiency augmented cold stress-triggered ASK1/p-p38 upregulation, adjunctive ASK1 inhibition alleviated IRI and improved OLT survival by suppressing p-p38 upregulation, ROS induction, and HMGB1 translocation (CC1-KO→WT), whereas ASK1 silencing (siRNA) promoted cytoprotection in cold-stressed and damage-prone CC1-deficient hepatocyte cultures. Consistent with mouse data, CEACAM1 expression in 60 human donor liver biopsies correlated negatively with activation of the ASK1/p-p38 axis, whereas low CC1 levels associated with increased ROS and HMGB1 translocation, enhanced innate and adaptive immune responses, and inferior early OLT function. Notably, reduced donor liver CEACAM1 expression was identified as one of the independent predictors for early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in human OLT patients. Thus, as a checkpoint regulator of IR stress and sterile inflammation, CEACAM1 may be considered as a denominator of donor hepatic tissue quality, and a target for therapeutic modulation in OLT recipients.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a lytic, proinflammatory cell death pathway, which has been implicated in host defense and, when dysregulated, the pathology of many human diseases. The central mediators of this pathway are the receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinases RIPK1 and RIPK3 and the terminal executioner, the pseudokinase mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). Here, we review the chronology of signaling along the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL axis and highlight how the subcellular compartmentalization of signaling events controls the initiation and execution of necroptosis. We propose that a network of modulators surrounds the necroptotic signaling core and that this network, rather than acting universally, tunes necroptosis in a context-, cell type-, and species-dependent manner. Such a high degree of mechanistic flexibility is likely an important property that helps necroptosis operate as a robust, emergency form of cell death.

Tang LJ, Luo XJ, Tu H, Chen H, Xiong XM, Li NS, Peng J. Ferroptosis occurs in phase of reperfusion but not ischemia in rat heart following ischemia or ischemia/reperfusion. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 394:401-410. [PMID: 32621060 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-020-01932-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated necrosis. This study aims to evaluate the contribution of ferroptosis to ischemia or reperfusion injury, and lay a basis for precise therapy of myocardial infarction. The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat hearts were subjected to ischemia for different duration or the hearts were treated with 1 h-ischemia plus different duration of reperfusion. The myocardial injury was assessed by biochemical assays and hematoxylin & eosin (HE) staining. The ferroptosis was evaluated with the levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), iron, and malondialdehyde. Iron chelator (deferoxamine) was applied to verify the contribution of ferroptosis to ischemia and reperfusion injury. The results showed that ischemic injury (infarction and CK release) was getting worse with the extension of ischemia, but no significant changes in ferroptosis indexes (ACSL4, GPX4, iron, and malondialdehyde) in cardiac tissues were observed. Differently, the levels of ACSL4, iron, and malondialdehyde were gradually elevated with the extension of reperfusion concomitant with a decrease of GPX4 level. In the ischemia-treated rat hearts, no significant changes in myocardial injury were observed in the presence of deferoxamine, while in the ischemia/reperfusion-treated rat hearts, myocardial injury was markedly attenuated in the presence of deferoxamine concomitant with a reduction of ferroptosis. Based on these observations, we conclude that ferroptosis occurs mainly in the phase of myocardial reperfusion but not ischemia. Thus, intervention of ferroptosis exerts beneficial effects on reperfusion injury but not ischemic injury, laying a basis for precise therapy for patients with myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Currently, traditional cancer therapy still falls far short of expectations. However, a variety of invasive cancers that are resistant to chemotherapy (such as platinum drugs, one of the most applied antineoplastics in clinic) and targeted agents are susceptible to ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that is driven by cell metabolism and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis inducers can eliminate the drug resistance of tumor cells in the mesenchymal state, effectively inhibit the drug resistance of acquired tumor cells, and optimize cancer efficacy. Research based on the epigenetic mechanism of ferroptosis is still in the stage of screening and verifying the regulatory effect, and there is no complete regulatory mechanism network. In this review, we expound on the epigenetic regulation and nonepigenetic mechanisms of ferroptosis and review the epigenetic-based mechanisms of tumor therapy potential and emerging nonepigenetic-based therapies (nanotherapeutics).

M2-like macrophages exert hepatoprotection in acute-on-chronic liver failure through inhibiting necroptosis-S100A9-necroinflammation axis. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:93. [PMID: 33462187 PMCID: PMC7814003 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-03378-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Necroptosis has emerged as a novel and crucial player in acute and chronic liver diseases. Necroptotic cells lead to the release of DAMPs including S100A9, followed by the development of necroinflammation. We previously have documented the beneficial hepatoprotection conferred by M2-like macrophages in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in vitro and in vivo, namely, M2-like macrophages protect hepatocytes against apoptosis. Herein, we integrated necroptosis, S100A9, and necroinflammation into this hepatoprotection, and hypothesized M2-like macrophages exert a hepatoprotective effect through inhibiting necroptosis-S100A9-necroinflammation axis. To testify this hypothesis, control mice were pre-treated with necroptosis or S100A9 inhibitors followed by D-GalN/LPS challenge. The extent of liver injury and M1/M2 macrophage activation was assessed. Necroptosis signaling and S100A9 expression were analysed and compared in control and fibrotic mice with or without acute insult. To document the pivotal role of M2-like macrophages in necroptosis and S100A9 inhibition, loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments were performed. In addition, necroinflammation and its dependence on necroptosis and S100A9 were analysed. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of M2-like macrophages on necroinflammation were investigated in vivo and in vitro. We found that: firstly, the inhibition of necroptosis signaling and S100A9 expression alleviated D-GalN/LPS-induced hepatic damage, which was accompanied by M2-like macrophage activation; secondly, fibrosis inhibited necroptosis signaling and S100A9 expression, which could be attributed to M2-like macrophage activation; thirdly, S100A9 may function as a downstream player of necroptosis signaling; fourthly, fibrosis suppressed necroptosis- and S100A9-dependent necroinflammation; and finally, M2-like macrophages inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and resultant necroinflammation via IL-10. Therefore, M2-like macrophages exert a beneficial hepatoprotection by inhibiting necroptosis-S100A9-necroinflammation axis in ACLF. Our findings provide novel insight for treating ACLF patients by specially targeting this signaling axis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To describe recent advances in the development of therapeutic agents for acute kidney injury (AKI). RECENT FINDINGS Traditional care for AKI is mostly supportive. At present, no specific therapy has been developed to prevent or treat AKI. However, based on a better understanding of the pathophysiology of AKI, various potential compounds have been recently identified and tested. A variety of pathways has been targeted, including oxidative and mitochondrial stress, cellular metabolism and repair, inflammation, apoptosis and hemodynamics. Many of these potential agents are currently ongoing early-phase clinical trials, and the purpose of this review is to provide a summary of those with the most potential. SUMMARY Despite the lack of therapies specifically approved for AKI, many interesting potential agents are entering clinical trials, with the potential to transform the care of patients with AKI.

Abstract
Legumain is required for maintenance of normal kidney homeostasis. However, its role in acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. Here, we induced AKI by bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of renal arteries or folic acid in lgmnWT and lgmnKO mice. We assessed serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, histological indexes of tubular injury, and expression of KIM-1 and NGAL. Inflammatory infiltration was evaluated by immunohistological staining of CD3 and F4/80, and expression of TNF-α, CCL-2, IL-33, and IL-1α. Ferroptosis was evaluated by Acsl4, Cox-2, reactive oxygen species (ROS) indexes H2DCFDA and DHE, MDA and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). We induced ferroptosis by hypoxia or erastin in primary mouse renal tubular epithelial cells (mRTECs). Cellular survival, Acsl4, Cox-2, LDH release, ROS, and MDA levels were measured. We analyzed the degradation of GPX4 through inhibition of proteasomes or autophagy. Lysosomal GPX4 was assessed to determine GPX4 degradation pathway. Immunoprecipitation (IP) was used to determine the interactions between legumain, GPX4, HSC70, and HSP90. For tentative treatment, RR-11a was administrated intraperitoneally to a mouse model of IRI-induced AKI. Our results showed that legumain deficiency attenuated acute tubular injury, inflammation, and ferroptosis in either IRI or folic acid-induced AKI model. Ferroptosis induced by hypoxia or erastin was dampened in lgmnKO mRTECs compared with lgmnWT control. Deficiency of legumain prevented chaperone-mediated autophagy of GPX4. Results of IP suggested interactions between legumain, HSC70, HSP90, and GPX4. Administration of RR-11a ameliorated ferroptosis and renal injury in the AKI model. Together, our data indicate that legumain promotes chaperone-mediated autophagy of GPX4 therefore facilitates tubular ferroptosis in AKI.

Inhibition of MLKL Attenuates Necroptotic Cell Death in a Murine Cell Model of Ischaemia Injury. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10020212.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Steatosis in donor livers poses a major risk of organ dysfunction due to their susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury during transplant. Necroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, is orchestrated by receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), has been implicated in I/R injury. Here we investigated the mechanisms of cell death pathways in an in vitro model of hepato-steatotic ischaemia. METHODS Free fatty acid (FFA) treated alpha mouse liver 12 (AML-12) cells were incubated in oxygen-glucose-deprivation (OGD) conditions as seen during ischaemia. RESULTS We found that OGD triggered upregulation of insoluble fraction of RIPK3 and MLKL in FFA + OGD cells compared to FFA control cells. We report that intervention with small interfering (si) MLKL and siRIPK3 significantly attenuated cell death in FFA + OGD cells. Absence of activated CASPASE8 and cleaved-CASPASE3, no change in the expression of CASPASE1 and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2) in FFA + OGD treated cells compared to FFA control cells indicated that apoptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis, respectively, are unlikely to be active in this model. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that RIPK3-MLKL dependent necroptosis contributed to cell death in our in vitro model. Both MLKL and RIPK3 are promising therapeutic targets to inhibit necroptosis during ischaemic injury in fatty liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the main clinical concern resulted from ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Ample clinical data indicates that AKI is associated with distant organ dysfunctions and poor patients' outcomes. Oxidative stress and inflammation have a critical role in the pathogenesis of organ injuries following IRI. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of Gamma Oryzanol (GO), extracted from rice bran oil, on distant organs in rats after IRI. METHODS Twelve out of 24 Wistar rats were treated by one dosage of GO (100mg/kg) 1 h before I/R induction through both oral gavage and intraperitoneal injection. Then, the AKI model rats were induced by IRI. Oxidative stress and antioxidant protein levels were assessed in the brain, heart, and liver tissues in the experimental groups. Furthermore, the effects of GO on IRI-induced liver dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammation were measured by Western blot. RESULTS GO pretreatment could significantly restore the levels and activity of antioxidant proteins in the brain, heart, and liver tissues (P < 0.05). Moreover, GO pretreatment could decrease the inflammatory cytokine (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α) in the liver (P < 0.01). By reducing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and down-regulating caspase-3, GO could significantly diminish apoptosis in the liver tissue after the kidney I/R (P < 0.01). Additionally, GO could significantly diminish the deterioration of liver function in the kidney I/R model. CONCLUSION GO protects distant organs against renal IRI-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, it ameliorates liver function and remarkably exerts anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic roles in the liver as an important detoxifying organ.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), mostly caused by renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and nephrotoxins, is characterized by rapid deterioration in renal-functions without effective drug treatment available. Through activation of a G protein-coupled receptor APJ, a furin-cleaved fragment of Elabela (ELA[22-32], E11), an endogenous APJ ligand, protects against renal I/R injury. However, the poor plasma stability and relatively weak APJ-binding ability of E11 limit its application. To address these issues, we rationally designed and synthesized a set of E11 analogues modified by palmitic acid (Pal) or polyethylene glycol; improved plasma stability and APJ-binding capacity of these analogues were achieved. In cultured renal tubular cells, these analogues protected against hypoxia-reperfusion or cisplatin-caused injury. For renal I/R-injured mice, these analogues showed improved reno-protective effects than E11; notably, Pal-E11 showed therapeutic effects at 24 h post I/R injury. These results present ELA analogues as potential therapeutic options in managing AKI.

Abstract
The eIF5A hypusination inhibitor GC7 (N1-guanyl-1,7-diaminoheptane) was shown to protect from ischemic injuries. We hypothesized that GC7 could be useful for preconditioning kidneys from donors before transplantation. Using a preclinical porcine brain death (BD) donation model, we carried out in vivo evaluation of GC7 pretreatment (3 mg/kg iv, 5 minutes after BD) at the beginning of the 4h-donor management, after which kidneys were collected and cold-stored (18h in University of Wisconsin solution) and 1 was allotransplanted. Groups were defined as following (n = 6 per group): healthy (CTL), untreated BD (Vehicle), and GC7-treated BD (Vehicle + GC7). At the end of 4h-management, GC7 treatment decreased BD-induced markers, as radical oxygen species markers. In addition, GC7 increased expression of mitochondrial protective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1-alpha (PGC1α) and antioxidant proteins (superoxyde-dismutase-2, heme oxygenase-1, nuclear factor [erythroid-derived 2]-like 2 [NRF2], and sirtuins). At the end of cold storage, GC7 treatment induced an increase of NRF2 and PGC1α mRNA and a better mitochondrial integrity/homeostasis with a decrease of dynamin- related protein-1 activation and increase of mitofusin-2. Moreover, GC7 treatment significantly improved kidney outcome during 90 days follow-up after transplantation (fewer creatininemia and fibrosis). Overall, GC7 treatment was shown to be protective for kidneys against BD-induced injuries during donor management and subsequently appeared to preserve antioxidant defenses and mitochondria homeostasis; these protective effects being accompanied by a better transplantation outcome.

Impact of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation on Ferroptosis in Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:6097516.

Abstract
We here investigated the impact of mechanical ventilation (MV) time on ferroptosis in a rat renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) model. Thirty-two male adult Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups (n = 8/group): the sham group, IRI group, IRI+MV-4 h group, and IRI+MV-12 h group. Rats in the IRI group were subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemia. Rats in the IRI+MV groups were additionally mechanically ventilated with tracheal intubation after 45 min bilateral renal ischemia. Morphological changes associated with kidney injury and ferroptosis were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and electron microscopy. Levels of the central regulator of ferroptosis, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and lipid peroxidation markers 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE) and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) were determined in the kidney tissue by western blotting. Glutathione (GSH) levels were assessed in the serum and kidney homogenate. Scr levels in the IRI+MV-12 h group were significantly higher than those in the sham, IRI, and IRI+MV-4 h groups (all P < 0.001). Electron microscopy revealed the most pronouncedly abnormal mitochondrial morphology, suggestive of ferroptosis, in the IRI+MV-12 h group. The GPX4 and SOD2 protein levels progressively decreased in the following order: sham group > IRI group > IRI+MV-4 h group > IRI+MV-12 h group (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). By contrast, the 4HNE levels progressively increased in the kidney, with the highest values in the IRI+MV-12 h group (P < 0.05, vs. the IRI group and vs. the IRI+MV-4 h group). Further, the GSH levels in the serum and kidney homogenates were significantly reduced in the IRI+MV-12 h group (P < 0.01, vs. IRI group and vs. the IRI+MV-4 h group). A significant positive correlation was observed between the serum and kidney GSH levels (r2 = 0.542, P = 0.03). These observations suggested that prolonged MV may exacerbate renal function failure, already initiated by IRI, by ferroptosis. Depletion of GSH may contribute to this effect, which requires further investigation.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical disease. Ferropotosis, a new type of regulatory cell death, serves an important regulatory role in AKI. Pachymic acid (PA), a lanostane‑type triterpenoid from Poria cocos, has been reported to be protective against AKI. However, the protective mechanism of PA in AKI is not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of PA on ferroptosis in renal ischemia reperfusion injury in vivo. A total of 30 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg PA for 3 days. A bilateral renal pedicle clip was used for 40 min to induce renal ischemia‑reperfusion injury and establish the model. The results demonstrated that treatment with PA decreased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, and ameliorated renal pathological damage. Transmission electron microscopy revealed no characteristic changes in ferroptosis in the mitochondria of the renal tissue in the high‑dose PA group, and only mild edema. Furthermore, treatment with PA increased glutathione expression, and decreased the expression levels of malondialdehyde and cyclooxygenase 2. Treatment with PA enhanced the protein and mRNA expression levels of the ferroptosis related proteins, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system) member 11 (SLC7A11) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO‑1) in the kidney, and increased the expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid derived 2 like 2 (NRF2) signaling pathway members. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that PA has a protective effect on ischemia‑reperfusion induced acute kidney injury in mice, which may be associated with the inhibition of ferroptosis in the kidneys through direct or indirect activation of NRF2, and upregulation of the expression of the downstream ferroptosis related proteins, GPX4, SLC7A11 and HO‑1.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a pathological process that occurs in numerous organs throughout the human body, and it is frequently associated with severe cellular damage and death. Recently it has emerged that ferroptosis, a new form of regulated cell death that is caused by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, plays a significantly detrimental role in many I/R models. In this review, we aim to revise the pathological process of I/R and then explore the molecular pathogenesis of ferroptosis. Furthermore, we aim to evaluate the role that ferroptosis plays in I/R, providing evidence to support the targeting of ferroptosis in the I/R pathway may present as a therapeutic intervention to alleviate ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) associated cell damage and death.

Abstract
Intrarenal robust inflammatory response following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major factor in the pathogenesis of renal injury in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). Although numerous studies have investigated various agents of immune modulation or suppression for ischemic AKI, few showed reproducible effects. We hypothesized that poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor may favorably change post-ischemic intrarenal immunologic micromilieu by reducing damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) signals and improve renal outcome in ischemic AKI. The effects of JPI-289 (a PARP inhibitor) on early renal injury in a murine IRI model and hypoxic HK-2 cell model were investigated. Bilateral IRI surgery was performed in three groups of 9-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (control, JPI-289 50 mg/kg, and JPI-289 100 mg/kg; n = 9–10 in each group). Saline or JPI-289 was intraperitoneally injected. Renal function deterioration was significantly attenuated in the JPI-289 treatment groups in a dose-dependent manner. Inflammatory cell infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine expressions in the post-ischemic kidneys were also attenuated by JPI-289 treatment. JPI-289 treatment at 0.5 and 0.75 μg/ml facilitated the proliferation of hypoxic HK-2 cells. PARP inhibition with JPI-289 treatment showed favorable effects in ischemic AKI by attenuating intrarenal inflammatory cascade in a murine model and facilitating proliferation of hypoxic HK-2 cells.

Abstract
We determined that renal proximal tubular (PT) NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) plays a direct and critical role in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) using mice lacking renal PT NEMO and by targeted renal PT NEMO inhibition with mesoscale nanoparticle-encapsulated NEMO binding peptide (NBP MNP). We subjected renal PT NEMO-deficient mice, WT mice, and C57BL/6 mice to sham surgery or 30 minutes of renal ischemia and reperfusion (IR). C57BL/6 mice received NBP MNP or empty MNP before renal IR injury. Mice treated with NBP MNP and mice deficient in renal PT NEMO were protected against ischemic AKI, having decreased renal tubular necrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis compared with control MNP-treated or WT mice, respectively. Recombinant peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 (rPAD4) targeted kidney PT NEMO to exacerbate ischemic AKI in that exogenous rPAD4 exacerbated renal IR injury in WT mice but not in renal PT NEMO-deficient mice. Furthermore, rPAD4 upregulated proinflammatory cytokine mRNA and NF-κB activation in freshly isolated renal proximal tubules from WT mice but not from PT NEMO-deficient mice. Taken together, our studies suggest that renal PT NEMO plays a critical role in ischemic AKI by promoting renal tubular inflammation, apoptosis, and necrosis.

Abstract
While liver transplantation remains the sole treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease, there are numerous limitations to liver transplantation including the scarcity of donor livers and a rise in livers that are unsuitable to transplant such as those with excess steatosis. Fatty livers are susceptible to ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during transplantation and IR injury results in primary graft non-function, graft failure and mortality. Recent studies have described new cell death pathways which differ from the traditional apoptotic pathway. Necroptosis, a regulated form of cell death, has been associated with hepatic IR injury. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) are thought to be instrumental in the execution of necroptosis. The study of hepatic necroptosis and potential therapeutic approaches to attenuate IR injury will be a key factor in improving our knowledge regarding liver transplantation with fatty donor livers. In this review, we focus on the effect of hepatic steatosis during liver transplantation as well as molecular mechanisms of necroptosis and its involvement during liver IR injury. We also discuss the immune responses triggered during necroptosis and examine the utility of necroptosis inhibitors as potential therapeutic approaches to alleviate IR injury.

Abstract
Regulated necrosis has been reported to exert an important role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Damage to renal tubular epithelial cells and subsequent cell death initiate the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) and subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD). We found that ferroptosis appeared in tubular epithelial cells (TECs) of various human kidney diseases and the upregulation of tubular proferroptotic gene ACSL4 was correlated with renal function in patients with acute kidney tubular injury. XJB-5-131, which showed high affinity for TECs, attenuated I/R-induced renal injury and inflammation in mice by specifically inhibiting ferroptosis rather than necroptosis and pyroptosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) indicated that ferroptosis-related genes were mainly expressed in tubular epithelial cells after I/R injury, while few necroptosis- and pyroptosis-associated genes were identified to express in this cluster of cell. Taken together, ferroptosis plays an important role in renal tubular injury and the inhibition of ferroptosis by XJB-5-131 is a promising therapeutic strategy for protection against renal tubular cell injury in kidney diseases.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a highly conserved nucleoprotein involving in numerous biological processes, and well known to trigger immune responses as the damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) in the extracellular environment. The role of HMGB1 is distinct due to its multiple functions in different subcellular location. In the nucleus, HMGB1 acts as a chaperone to regulate DNA events including DNA replication, repair and nucleosome stability. While in the cytoplasm, it is engaged in regulating autophagy and apoptosis. A great deal of research has explored its function in the pathogenesis of renal diseases. This review mainly focuses on the role of HMGB1 and summarizes the pathway and treatment targeting HMGB1 in the various renal diseases which may open the windows of opportunities for the development of desirable therapeutic ends in these pathological conditions.

Abstract
Whereas the apoptosis cell death pathway typically enables cells to undergo death in an immunologically silent manner, cell death by necroptosis induces cell lysis and release of cellular constituents known to elicit an immune response. Consequently, the origins of necroptosis likely originated in host defense against pathogens, although recently it has emerged that dysregulation of the pathway underlies many human pathologies. The past decade has seen a rapid advance in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying necroptotic cell death, including the implication of the pseudokinase, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), as the terminal effector in the pathway. Here, I review our current understanding of how MLKL is activated by the upstream receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK)3, the proposed mechanism(s) by which MLKL kills cells, and recently described layers of regulation that tune MLKL's killing activity.

Abstract
Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), a common event after renal transplantation, causes acute kidney injury (AKI), increases the risk of delayed graft function (DGF), primes the donor kidney for rejection, and contributes to the long-term risk of graft loss. In the last decade, epidemiological studies have linked even mild episodes of AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, and innate immunity seems to play a crucial role. The ischemic insult triggers an acute inflammatory reaction that is elicited by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), expressed on both infiltrating immune cells as well as tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Among the PRRs, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), their synergistic receptors, Nod-like receptors (NLRs), and the inflammasomes, play a pivotal role in shaping inflammation and TEC repair, in response to renal IRI. These receptors represent promising targets to modulate the extent of inflammation, but also function as gatekeepers of tissue repair, protecting against AKI-to-CKD progression. Despite the important considerations on timely use of therapeutics, in the context of IRI, treatment options are limited by a lack of understanding of the intra- and intercellular mechanisms associated with the activation of innate immune receptors and their impact on adaptive tubular repair. Accumulating evidence suggests that TEC-associated innate immunity shapes the tubular response to stress through the regulation of immunometabolism. Engagement of innate immune receptors provides TECs with the metabolic flexibility necessary for their plasticity during injury and repair. This could significantly affect pathogenic processes within TECs, such as cell death, mitochondrial damage, senescence, and pro-fibrotic cytokine secretion, well-known to exacerbate inflammation and fibrosis. This article provides an overview of the past 5 years of research on the role of innate immunity in experimental and human IRI, with a focus on the cascade of events activated by hypoxic damage in TECs: from programmed cell death (PCD) and mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated metabolic rewiring of TECs to maladaptive repair and progression to fibrosis. Finally, we will discuss the important crosstalk between metabolism and innate immunity observed in TECs and their therapeutic potential in both experimental and clinical research.

Abstract
Background Kidney ischemia–reperfusion injury is a common pathophysiological phenomenon in the clinic. A large number of studies have found that the tyrosine protein kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway is involved in the development of a variety of kidney diseases and renal protection associated with multiple drugs. Edaravone (EDA) is an effective free radical scavenger that has been used clinically for the treatment of postischemic neuronal injury. This study aimed to identify whether EDA improved kidney function in rats with ischemia–reperfusion injury by regulating the JAK/STAT pathway and clarify the underlying mechanism. Methods Histomorphological analysis was used to assess pathological kidney injury, and mitochondrial damage was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to detect tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. The expression of JAK2, P-JAK2, STAT3, P-STAT3, STAT1, P-STAT1, BAX and Bcl-2 was assessed by western blotting. Mitochondrial function in the kidney was assessed by mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) measurement. Results The results showed that EDA inhibited the expression of p-JAK2, p-STAT3 and p-STAT1, accompanied by downregulation of the expression of Bax and caspase-3, and significantly ameliorated kidney damage caused by ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). Furthermore, the JC-1 dye assay showed that edaravone attenuated ischemia–reperfusion-induced loss of kidney ΔΨm. Conclusion Our findings indicate that EDA protects against kidney damage caused by ischemia–reperfusion through JAK/STAT signaling, inhibiting apoptosis and improving mitochondrial injury.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury of the kidney is caused by the sudden and temporary obstruction of blood flow to the organ. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality, but effective therapies are lacking. Sexual dimorphism in renal injury has been acknowledged since the 1940s, and the possible role of sex hormones has been intensively investigated in the past decades. Clinical and experimental data demonstrate sexual differences in renal anatomy, physiology, and susceptibility to renal diseases including but not limited to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Some data suggest the protective role of female sex hormones, whereas others highlight the detrimental effect of male hormones in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although the important role of sex hormones is evident, the exact underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. This review focuses on collecting the current knowledge about sexual dimorphism of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, with emphasis on molecular mechanisms and potential novel therapeutic strategies.

Davies KA, Fitzgibbon C, Young SN, Garnish SE, Yeung W, Coursier D, Birkinshaw RW, Sandow JJ, Lehmann WIL, Liang LY, Lucet IS, Chalmers JD, Patrick WM, Kannan N, Petrie EJ, Czabotar PE, Murphy JM. Distinct pseudokinase domain conformations underlie divergent activation mechanisms among vertebrate MLKL orthologues. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3060. [PMID: 32561735 PMCID: PMC7305131 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16823-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The MLKL pseudokinase is the terminal effector in the necroptosis cell death pathway. Phosphorylation by its upstream regulator, RIPK3, triggers MLKL's conversion from a dormant cytoplasmic protein into oligomers that translocate to, and permeabilize, the plasma membrane to kill cells. The precise mechanisms underlying these processes are incompletely understood, and were proposed to differ between mouse and human cells. Here, we examine the divergence of activation mechanisms among nine vertebrate MLKL orthologues, revealing remarkable specificity of mouse and human RIPK3 for MLKL orthologues. Pig MLKL can restore necroptotic signaling in human cells; while horse and pig, but not rat, MLKL can reconstitute the mouse pathway. This selectivity can be rationalized from the distinct conformations observed in the crystal structures of horse and rat MLKL pseudokinase domains. These studies identify important differences in necroptotic signaling between species, and suggest that, more broadly, divergent regulatory mechanisms may exist among orthologous pseudoenzymes.

Cyclophilin A Promotes Inflammation in Acute Kidney Injury but Not in Renal Fibrosis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21103667. [PMID: 32455976 PMCID: PMC7279441 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21103667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a highly abundant protein in the cytoplasm of most mammalian cells. Beyond its homeostatic role in protein folding, CypA is a Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern which can promote inflammation during tissue injury. However, the role of CypA in kidney disease is largely unknown. This study investigates the contribution of CypA in two different types of kidney injury: acute tubular necrosis and progressive interstitial fibrosis. CypA (Ppia) gene deficient and wild type (WT) littermate controls underwent bilateral renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and were killed 24 h later or underwent left unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO) and were killed 7 days later. In the IRI model, CypA−/− mice showed substantial protection against the loss of renal function and from tubular cell damage and death. This was attributed to a significant reduction in neutrophil and macrophage infiltration since CypA−/− tubular cells were not protected from oxidant-induced cell death in vitro. In the UUO model, CypA−/− mice were not protected from leukocyte infiltration or renal interstitial fibrosis. In conclusion, CypA promotes inflammation and acute kidney injury in renal IRI, but does not contribute to inflammation or interstitial fibrosis in a model of progressive kidney fibrosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of non-apoptotic regulated cell death and is characterized by iron-dependent and lipid peroxidation. Due to the enhanced dependence on iron in cancer cells, induction of ferroptosis is becoming a promising therapeutic strategy. However, the precise underlying molecular mechanism and regulation process of ferroptosis remains largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that the protein Frataxin (FXN) is a key regulator of ferroptosis by modulating iron homeostasis and mitochondrial function. Suppression of FXN expression specifically repressed the proliferation, destroyed mitochondrial morphology, impeded Fe-S cluster assembly and activated iron starvation stress. Moreover, suppression of FXN expression significantly enhanced erastin-induced cell death through accelerating free iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation and resulted in dramatic mitochondria morphological damage including enhanced fragmentation and vanished cristae. In addition, this type of cell death was confirmed to be ferroptosis, since it could be pharmacologically restored by ferroptotic inhibitor Fer-1 or GSH, but not by inhibitors of apoptosis, necrosis. Vice versa, enforced expression of FXN blocked iron starvation response and erastin-induced ferroptosis. More importantly, pharmacological or genetic blocking the signal of iron starvation could completely restore the resistance to ferroptosis in FXN knockdown cells and xenograft graft in vivo. This paper suggests that FXN is a novel ferroptosis modulator, as well as a potential provided target to improve the antitumor activity based on ferroptosis.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that the P2X4 purinergic receptor (P2X4) exacerbates ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) by promoting renal tubular inflammation after ischemia and reperfusion (IR). Supporting this, P2X4-deficient (KO) mice were protected against ischemic AKI with significantly attenuated renal tubular necrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis when compared to P2X4 wild-type (WT) mice subjected to renal IR. Furthermore, WT mice treated with P2X4 allosteric agonist ivermectin had exacerbated renal IR injury whereas P2X4 WT mice treated with a selective P2X4 antagonist (5-BDBD) were protected against ischemic AKI. Mechanistically, induction of kidney NLRP3 inflammasome signaling after renal IR was significantly attenuated in P2X4 KO mice. A P2 agonist ATPγS increased NLRP3 inflammasome signaling (NLRP3 and caspase 1 induction and IL-1β processing) in isolated renal proximal tubule cells from WT mice whereas these increases were absent in renal proximal tubules isolated from P2X4 KO mice. Moreover, 5-BDBD attenuated ATPγS induced NLRP3 inflammasome induction in renal proximal tubules from WT mice. Finally, P2X4 agonist ivermectin induced NLRP3 inflammasome and pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured human proximal tubule cells. Taken together, our studies suggest that renal proximal tubular P2X4 activation exacerbates ischemic AKI and promotes NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.

Abstract
We developed an innovative therapy for ischemic acute kidney injury with discerning kidney-targeted delivery of a selective Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) antagonist in mice subjected to renal ischemia reperfusion injury. Our previous studies showed that mice deficient in renal proximal tubular TLR9 were protected against renal ischemia reperfusion injury demonstrating a critical role for renal proximal tubular TLR9 in generating ischemic acute kidney injury. Herein, we used 300-400 nm polymer-based mesoscale nanoparticles that localize to the renal tubules after intravenous injection. Mice were subjected to sham surgery or 30 minutes renal ischemia and reperfusion injury after receiving mesoscale nanoparticles encapsulated with a selective TLR9 antagonist (unmethylated CpG oligonucleotide ODN2088) or mesoscale nanoparticles encapsulating a negative control oligonucleotide. Mice treated with the encapsulated TLR9 antagonist either six hours before renal ischemia, at the time of reperfusion or 1.5 hours after reperfusion were protected against ischemic acute kidney injury. The ODN2088-encapsulated nanoparticles attenuated renal tubular necrosis, inflammation, decreased proinflammatory cytokine synthesis. neutrophil and macrophage infiltration and apoptosis, decreased DNA fragmentation and caspase 3/8 activation when compared to the negative control nanoparticle treated mice. Taken together, our studies further suggest that renal proximal tubular TLR9 activation exacerbates ischemic acute kidney injury by promoting renal tubular inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis after ischemia reperfusion. Thus, our studies suggest a potential promising therapy for ischemic acute kidney injury with selective kidney tubular targeting of TLR9 using mesoscale nanoparticle-based drug delivery.

Abstract
Besides apoptosis, necrosis can also occur in a highly regulated and genetically controlled manner, defined as regulated necrosis, which is characterized by a loss of cell membrane integrity and release of cytoplasmic content. Depending on the involvement of its signal pathway, regulated necrosis can be further classified as necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and parthanatos. Numerous studies have demonstrated that regulated necrosis is involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases covering almost all organs including the brain, heart, liver, kidney, intestine, blood vessel, eye and skin, particularly myocardial infarction and stroke. Most recently, growing evidence suggests that multiple types of regulated necrosis contribute to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells or photoreceptor cells, which are the main pathologic features for glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa, respectively. This review focuses on the involvement of necroptosis and ferroptosis in these blinding diseases.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) is a major clinical problem without effective therapy and is a significant and frequent cause of morbidity and mortality during the perioperative period. Although the pathophysiology of ischemic AKI is not completely understood, several important mechanisms of renal IR-induced AKI have been studied. Renal ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury initiates signaling cascades mediating renal cell necrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation, leading to AKI. Better understanding of the molecular and cellular pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ischemic AKI will provide more targeted approach to prevent and treat renal IR injury. In this review, we summarize important mechanisms of ischemic AKI, including renal cell death pathways and the contribution of endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and leukocytes to the inflammatory response during ischemic AKI. Additionally, we provide some updated potential therapeutic targets for the prevention or treatment of ischemic AKI, including Toll-like receptors, adenosine receptors, and peptidylarginine deiminase 4. Finally, we propose mechanisms of ischemic AKI-induced liver, intestine, and kidney dysfunction and systemic inflammation mainly mediated by Paneth cell degranulation as a potential explanation for the high mortality observed with AKI.

Abstract
Background Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of acute kidney injury, usually occurs during renal surgeries, and may eventually lead to chronic kidney diseases. However, effective therapeutic targets for renal I/R injury remain limited. Purpose In the present study, we investigated whether inhibition of disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (Dot1l) could alleviate renal I/R in vivo and in vitro, as well as the potential mechanisms involved in this process. Methods Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to right renal ischemia for 45 mins and reperfusion for 0, 7, or 14 days with and without the Dot1l inhibitor EPZ004777. In addition, human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line human kidney-2 cells were subjected to the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) process (ie, 3 hrs hypoxia, 12 hrs and 24 hrs reoxygenation), with or without Dot1l inhibitor or genetic knockdown. Results Inhibition of Dot1l through EPZ004777 or genetic knockdown reduced the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and fibronectin in I/R- and H/R-induced injury. Moreover, H/R-induced fibrosis depended on oxidative stress in vitro. In addition, I/R- and H/R-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was attenuated by EPZ004777 or small interfering RNA for Dot1l. Furthermore, the elevation of ROS induced by Dot1l was regulated via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and serine-threonine protein kinase (AKT) phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion Inhibition of Dot1l alleviated renal fibrosis by preventing the generation of ROS via the PI3K/AKT pathway. These results indicate that inhibitor of Dot1l could be a potential therapeutic target for renal I/R injury.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain containing 2 (NLRP2) in kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury. A mouse model of acute kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury was established to conduct in vivo experiments. Oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) and cobalt chloride treatment of the HK-2 and glomerular endothelial cell (GENC) kidney cell lines were performed for the in vitro study. Reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze NLRP2 expression levels. Knockdown of NLRP2 in cells was also performed, and cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. NLRP2 was expressed in normal kidney tissues; however, its expression was significantly increased in the acute kidney injury model and in OGD-treated cells. Conversely, knockdown of NLRP2 reduced apoptosis of cells. These results suggested that NLRP2 was involved in kidney damage and may be an important target for treatment of acute kidney injury.
