The contralateral kidney presents with impaired mitochondrial functions and disrupted redox homeostasis after 14 days of unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0218986.

Abstract
In unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), both oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are related to cell death. The aim of this study has been to characterize profiles of enzyme antioxidant activities and mitochondrial functioning of the contralateral (CL) compared to UUO and Sham (false-operated) kidneys of Balb/c mice. Kidneys were resected 14 days after obstruction for immunohistochemical and cortical mitochondrial functioning assays. Antioxidant enzymes activities were investigated in mitochondria and cytosol. Oxygen consumption (QO2) and formation of O2 reactive species (ROS) were assessed with pyruvate plus malate or succinate as the respiratory substrates. QO2 decreased in CL and UUO in all states using substrates for complex II, whereas it was affected only in UUO when substrates for complex I were used. Progressive decrease in mitochondrial ROS formation–in the forward and reverse pathway at complex I–correlates well with the inhibition of QO2 and, therefore, with decreased electron transfer at the level of complexes upstream of cytochrome c oxidase. CL and UUO transmembrane potential responses to ADP were impaired with succinate. Intense Ca2+-induced swelling was elicited in CL and UUO mitochondria. Important and selective differences exist in CL antioxidant enzymes with respect to either Sham or UUO kidneys: CL kidneys had increased mitochondrial glutathione peroxidase and cytosolic catalase activities, indicative of compensatory responses in the face of an early altered ROS homeostasis (as detected by 4-hydroxynonenal), and of a significant tendency to apoptosis. In CL and UUO, upregulation of nuclear (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 transcription factor (Nrf2), as well as of cytoplasmic and nuclear Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) in opposition to decreased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), suggest impairment of the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 system. It is concluded that chronic obstruction impairs mitochondrial function in CL and UUO, preferentially affecting complex II.

Abstract
AIM Congenital ureteral obstruction is a fairly common condition in infants, and its clinical management has been long debated during the last decade. The long-term physiological consequences of today's conservative non-surgical management in many asymptomatic hydronephrotic children are unclear. METHODS Experimental studies in rats and mice, retrospective studies in children and adults, as well as prospective studies in children are included in this mini review. RESULTS Experimental models of hydronephrosis in rats and mice have demonstrated that partial ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is casually linked with development of hypertension and renal injuries in later life. The mechanisms are multifactorial and involve increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and renal sympathetic nerve activity. Furthermore, oxidative stress and nitric oxide deficiency in the affected kidney appear to play important roles in the development and maintenance of hypertension. Clinical case reports in adults and recent prospective studies in children have associated hydronephrosis with elevated blood pressure, which could be reduced by surgical management of the obstruction. CONCLUSION Based on current experimental and clinical knowledge regarding the link between partial UPJO and changes in blood pressure, it is proposed that today's non-operative management of hydronephrosis should be reconsidered to reduce the risk of developing elevated blood pressure or hypertension in later life.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have long been considered as toxic derivatives of aerobic metabolism displaying a harmful effect to living cells. Deregulation of redox homeostasis and production of excessive free radicals may contribute to the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. In line, oxidative stress increases in patients with renal dysfunctions due to a general increase of ROS paralleled by impaired antioxidant ability. RECENT ADVANCES Emerging evidence revealed that physiologically, ROS can act as signaling molecules interplaying with several transduction pathways such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. ROS can exert signaling functions by modulating, at different layers, protein oxidation since proteins have "cysteine switches" that can be reversibly reduced or oxidized, supporting the dynamic signaling regulation function. In this scenario, S-glutathionylation is a posttranslational modification involved in oxidative cellular response. CRITICAL ISSUES Although it is widely accepted that renal dysfunctions are often associated with altered redox signaling, the relative role of S-glutathionylation on the pathogenesis of specific renal diseases remains unclear and needs further investigations. In this review, we discuss the impact of ROS in renal health and diseases and the role of selective S-glutathionylation proteins potentially relevant to renal physiology. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The paucity of studies linking the reversible protein glutathionylation with specific renal disorders remains unmet. The growing number of S-glutathionylated proteins indicates that this is a fascinating area of research. In this respect, further studies on the association of reversible glutathionylation with renal diseases, characterized by oxidative stress, may be useful to develop new pharmacological molecules targeting protein S-glutathionylation.

Abstract
Bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) is associated with renal damage and impaired ability to concentrate urine and is known to induce alterations in an array of kidney proteins. The aim of this study was to identify acute proteomic alterations induced by BUO. Rats were subjected to BUO for 2, 6, or 24 h. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics was performed on the renal inner medulla, and protein changes in the obstructed group were identified. Significant changes were successfully identified for 109 proteins belonging to different biological classes. Interestingly, proteins belonging to the cytoskeleton and proteins related to cytoskeletal regulation were found to be biologically enriched in BUO using online-accessible tools. Western blots confirmed the selected results, demonstrating acute downregulation of proteins belonging to all three cytoskeletal components. The microfilament protein β-actin and the intermediate filament proteins pankeratin and vimentin were all downregulated. β-Tubulin, an important microtubular protein, was found to be significantly downregulated after 24 h. Also, there was significant upregulation of cofilin, an actin-binding protein known to be upregulated in other nephropathy models. Furthermore, both upregulation and downregulation of cytoskeletal motor and regulatory proteins were observed. These findings were confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which clearly showed alterations in labeling in the inner medulla. Interestingly, we were able to confirm selected results in mpkCCD cells exposed to mechanical stretch. Our findings add to the knowledge of BUO-induced acute changes in the renal cytoskeleton and suggest that these molecular changes are partly mediated by increased stretch of the cells during obstruction.

Abstract
AIM In vivo, renal medullary interstitial cells (RMICs) and collecting duct principal cells (mpkCCD cells) are subjected to inflammatory, oxidative and mechanical stress as a result of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Because heat-shock protein (HSP) 27 and HSP70 are induced by cellular stresses and play a role in cytoprotection, we hypothesized that HSP27 and HSP70 are increased in rats subjected to acute UUO and in RMICs and mpkCCD cells exposed to inflammatory, oxidative or mechanical stress. METHODS Rats were subjected to acute UUO for 6 h and 12 h. To examine the expression of HSP27, phosphorylated HSP27 (pHSP27) and HSP70 in response to inflammatory, oxidative and mechanical stress in vitro, we exposed RMICs and mpkCCD cells to interleukin 1β (IL-1β), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and stretch stimulation over time. RESULTS The phosphorylated form of HSP27 (pHSP27) was increased in the renal inner medulla (IM) after 6-h and 12-h UUO, while HSP27 and HSP70 were unchanged. Furthermore, after 6 h and 12 h of UUO, the expression of inflammatory (IL-1β) and oxidative [haem oxygenase 1 (HO-1)] markers was induced. Exposure to inflammatory, oxidative and mechanical stress changed HSP27 and pHSP27 expression in RMICs but not in mpkCCD cells, while HSP70 was not affected by any of the stress conditions. Exposure of RMICs to oxidative and mechanical stress induced HSP27 phosphorylation via a p38-dependent mechanism. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that, in response to acute UUO, different forms of cellular stresses modulate HSP27 expression and phosphorylation in RMICs. This may affect the ability of renal cells to mount an effective cytoprotective response.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the deleterious effects of shockwaves (SWs) using heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression on obstructed kidneys with different obstruction periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five rabbits were divided into two groups with 11 rabbits in each group. Both kidneys of the remaining three rabbits served as a sham group. All animals underwent right ureteral ligation using surgical clips. In group 1 (n = 6), 1500 SWs were applied to the obstructed kidney after 3 days of ligation, and the kidneys were removed on day 4. Group 1 control (n = 5) animals also underwent nephrectomy on day 4 without receiving SWs. Group 2 (n = 6) animals received the same dose of SWs after 6 days of ureteral ligation and were nephrectomized on day 7. Group 2 control (n = 5) animals did not receive SWs and were nephrectomized on day 7. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for HSP70 expression, and staining intensity was graded semiquantatively. RESULTS HSP70 staining results were significantly lower in the sham group compared with results in the study groups. Immunostaining was significantly higher in the cortical collector tubuli in group 1 than group 1 control (P = 0.006). No significant difference was detected in group 2 compared with group 2 control. In the medullar cortical tubuli, HSP70 staining was significantly higher in group 1 than group 1 control (P = 0.03). It was also higher in group 2 than group 2 control (P = 0.04). The mean HSP70 glomerular staining scores were not statistically significant between each group. CONCLUSION Application of SWs in the presence of obstruction has deleterious effects on the kidney tissue.

Abstract
Although heat shock protein 72 kDa (HSP72) protects tubular epithelium from a variety of acute insults, its role in chronic renal injury and fibrosis is poorly characterized. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that HSP72 reduces apoptosis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), important contributors to tubular cell injury in vitro and in vivo. In rats, orally administered geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), an agent that selectively induces HSP72, markedly reduced both apoptosis and cell proliferation in tubular epithelium and decreased both interstitial fibroblast accumulation and collagen I deposition after unilateral ureteric obstruction, a model of chronic renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and dysfunction. In cultured renal NRK52E cells, exposure to TGF-beta1 induced EMT and apoptosis, major causes of renal fibrosis and tubular atrophy, respectively. Exposure to a pan-caspase inhibitor (ZVAD-FMK) prevented TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis but did not reduce EMT. In contrast, selective HSP72 expression in vitro inhibited EMT caused by TGF-beta1 as indicated by preserving the E-cadherin expression level and alpha-smooth muscle actin induction. Small interfering RNA directed against HSP72 blocked the cytoprotective effects of HSP72 overexpression on EMT in TGF-beta1-exposed cells. Taken together, our data indicate that HSP72 ameliorates renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy by inhibiting both renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and EMT.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether relief of partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) with or without antioxidant drug affect renal tissue malonedialdehyde (MDA) and glutathion (GSH) levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 25 rats were used in this PUUO study. Partial unilateral ureteral obstruction was created by the burial of the upper one-third of the left ureter in the psoas muscle. The rats were sacrificed on 28th day following PUUO. Relief of the obstruction was performed twenty minutes before sacrifice by cutting the proximal ureter in reperfusion group. 50 mg/kg intraperitoneal allopurinol was administered 20 minutes before relief of obstruction in the antioxidant group. Renal tissue MDA and GSH levels were measured in both kidneys. RESULTS At the end of the study 5, 7 and 7 rats could only be interpreted in sham, reperfusion and antioxidant groups, respectively. While the mean left and right renal MDA and GSH levels were statistically different from each other in reperfusion group (P < 0.001), there were no significant differences in the sham (P > 0.05) and antioxidant (P > 0.05) group. Both the mean sham group left and right renal tissue MDA or GSH levels were significantly different from reperfusion group, but only the mean sham group left renal tissue MDA and right renal tissue GSH levels were not statistically different from antioxidant group (P < 0.05). The mean left or right renal MDA and GSH tissue levels of the antioxidant group were statistically different from reperfusion group (P < 0.05) except for the right renal tissue GSH level (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Partial unilateral ureteral obstruction leads to oxidative injury by relief of obstruction in both kidneys. The antioxidant allopurinol has a beneficial effect on renal MDA and GSH levels in both kidneys.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the accumulation of various mRNAs encoding heat shock proteins (hsps) and proto-oncogenes in Xenopus A6 kidney epithelial cells. Hydrogen peroxide treatment enhanced the accumulation of hsp90, hsp70, hsp30, c-jun, c-fos, and actin mRNAs with distinct temporal patterns. Although hsp70, c-fos, and c-jun mRNA levels peaked at 1–2 h before declining, hsp30 and hsp90 mRNA levels were maximal at 4–6 h. Other mRNAs, including heat shock cognate hsc70, immunoglobulin binding protein, and ribosomal L8, were unaffected. Treatment of kidney cells with a combination of mild heat shock plus hydrogen peroxide resulted in a synergistic increase in the relative levels of both hsp70 and hsp30 mRNA, but not hsp90, c-fos, c-jun, or actin. This study suggests that analysis of hsp and proto-oncogene mRNA levels may be of value as molecular biomarkers of oxidative stress associated with various disease states and nephrotoxicity in kidney.Key words: Xenopus, kidney, mRNA, heat shock protein, hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ureteral obstruction (UO) results in apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. We postulated that mechanical deformation and inflammation contribute to the cellular loss that occurs as a result of UO and it is mediated through altered heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) expression and the caspase cascade. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human HK-2 renal tubular cells were subjected to mechanical stretch. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry; HSP-70 and caspase 3 protein expression by Western blotting, and caspase 3 activity by fluorescence substrates. RESULTS Mechanical stretch caused direct apoptosis induction and it also primed for tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced apoptosis, which was caspase 3 dependent. Although HSP-70 protein expression was increased during mechanical stretch, the protective effects of HSP-70 were only seen after further induction by heat shocking. CONCLUSIONS Altering HSP-70 expression and manipulating the caspase cell death proteases represent a novel pathway to protect against renal tubular cell apoptosis and the potential for progression to renal failure in UO.

Abstract
Unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), a condition involving injury to the kidney, leads to vasoconstriction, macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. In the present study we analyzed in 22 children, the impact of UPJO on expression of HSP27 and HSP70 and related the changes to renal function and duration of obstruction. Kidney function was evaluated, and renal biopsies were obtained for immunohistochemical and western blot analyses at the time of surgery. Kidney tissue from 5 children of similar age, removed because of various malignancies, was used as control. Increased HSP27, with an expression pattern related to the duration of the obstruction, was noted in proximal tubules (PTs), cortical collecting ducts (CCDs), and medullary collecting ducts. Strong HSP27 staining in cytoplasm and nuclei of these segments appeared in children with kidney obstruction for 2.1+/-0.41 years. HSP70 showed a close spatial expression pattern with that of HSP27. The increased staining of HSP70 in PTs and CCDs was related to the decreased glomerular filtration rate. The constitutive/cognate form of HSP70 (HSC72) was absent. These results support the concept that HSP27 and HSP70 are involved in the adaptive response of the human kidney to congenital UPJO.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins are ubiquitous molecules that are expressed in all living organisms in response to stress. They have two specific roles: protection against cell damage and modulation of the immune response. Recent studies have dramatically increased our knowledge and understanding of the role of heat shock proteins in the genitourinary system. This review uses a Medline approach to examine the current literature.

Abstract
Interstitial fibrosis has a major role in the progression of renal diseases. Several animal models are available for the study of renal fibrosis. The models of aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic syndrome, cyclosporin nephrotoxicity, and passive Heyman nephritis are characterized by molecular and cellular events similar to those that occur in obstructive nephropathy. Additionally, inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme exerts salutary effects on the progression of renal fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy. Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) has emerged as an important model for the study of the mechanisms of renal fibrosis and also for the evaluation of the impact of potential therapeutic approaches to ameliorate renal disease. Many quantifiable pathophysiological events occur over the span of 1 wk of UUO, making this an attractive model for study. This paper reviews some of the ongoing studies that utilized a rodent model of UUO. Some of the findings of the animal model have been compared with observations made in patients with obstructive nephropathy. Most of the evidence suggests that the rodent model of UUO is reflective of human renal disease processes.

Abstract
The normal milieu of the kidney includes hypoxia, large osmotic fluxes, and an enormous amount of fluid/solute reabsorption. Renal adaptation to these conditions requires a host of molecular chaperones that stabilize protein conformation, target nascent proteins to their final intracellular destination, and prevent protein aggregation. Under physiologic or pharmacologic stress, inducible molecular chaperones provide additional mechanisms for repairing or degrading non-native proteins and for inhibiting stress-induced apoptosis. In contrast to intracellular chaperones, chaperones present on the cell surface regulate the immune system and have cytokine-like effects. A diverse range of chaperones and chaperone functions provide the renal cell with an armamentarium of responses to improve the chances of survival.

Abstract
AIM: To study the effect of manganese (Mn) on heat stress protein 70 (HSP70) synthesis in the brain and liver of new-born rats whose mother-rats were exposed to Mn.
METHODS: 32 female rats were randomly divided into four groups. One group was administrated with physiological saline only as control group, the other three groups were administrated with 7.5, 15 and 30 mg·kg-1 manganese chloride (MnCl2) by intraperitioneal injection every two days for two weeks. After delivery, the mother-rats received MnCl2 unceasingly for a week with the same method. Then the contents of Mn, Zn, Cu and Fe in the livers of the new-born rats were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy; The level of HSP70 in the brains and the livers of the new-born rats as detected by Western-dot-blotting, and the SOD activities were measured simultaneously.
RESULTS: The contents of Mn in the livers of new-born rats of the experimental groups (respective 1.38 ± 0.18, 2.73 ± 0.65, 3.44 ± 0.89 μg·g-1) were significantly increased compared with the control group (0.88 ± 0.18 μg·g-1; P < 0.01); The contents of Fe in the livers of new-born rats of 15 and 30 mg·kg-1 experimental groups (426 ± 125, 572 ± 175 μg·g-1, respectively) were significantly increased compared with the control group(286 ± 42 μg·g-1;P < 0.05); the levels of Zn in the livers of the new-born rats of three experimental groups(254 ± 49, 263 ± 47, 213 ± 28 μg·g-1, respectively) were lower than those of the control group (335 ± 50 μg·g-1; respective P < 0.05, P < 0.01); and the levels of Cu showed no significant difference among the four groups (three experimental groups: 75 ± 21, 68 ± 241 and 78 ± 18 μg·g-1; control group: 83 ± 9 μg·g-1; P > 0.05). There was a significant increase in the levels of HSP70 in the brains of new-born rats of the 30 mg·kg-1 group (19.5 × 103± 1.3 × 103 A; control group: 14.3 × 103± 1.4 × 103A; P < 0.01),and the levels of HSP70 in the livers of new-born rats of three experimental groups(respective 19.6 × 103± 3.9 × 103A, 18.5 × 103± 3.8 × 103A, 22.4 × 103± 1.9 × 103A) also increased than control group(13.3 × 103± 1.0 × 103A; P < 0.01), but the SOD activities showed no significant difference among brains of the four groups (experimental groups: 5.04 ± 0.43, 4.83 ± 0.48, 4.60 ± 0.84 ku·g-1; control group: 4.91 ± 0.37 ku·g-1; P > 0.05). The SOD activities in the livers of 15 mg·kg-1 group (5.41 ± 0.44 ku·g-1) was lower than the control group(5.95 ± 0.36 ku·g-1; P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: While mother-rats were exposed to manganese, the metabolisms of Mn, Zn and Fe of new-born rats in the livers were influenced and were situated in a stress status, thus HSP70 syntheses is induced in the brains and livers of new-born rats, but the mechanism of this effect in the developmental toxicity of Mn remains to be further studied.
