Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine impact on cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), kidney function, and metabolic and oxidative stress in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with heart-lung machine support. METHODS A randomized double-masked trial with 238 participants (50-75 years) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022. The participants were divided into Dex (n=119) and NS (n = 119) groups. Dex was administered at 0.5 mcg/kg over 10minutes, then 0.4 mcg/kg/h until the end of surgery; the NS group received equivalent saline. Blood and urine were sampled at various time points pre- and postsurgery. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of CSA-AKI, defined as the occurrence of AKI within 96hours after surgery. RESULTS The incidence of CSA-AKI was significantly lower in the Dex group than in the NS group (18.26% vs 32.46%; P=.014). Substantial increases were found in estimated glomerular filtration rate value at T4-T6 (P<.05) and urine volume 24hours after surgery (P<.01). Marked decreases were found in serum creatinine level, blood glucose level at T1-T2 (P<.01), blood urea nitrogen level at T3-T6 (P<.01), free fatty acid level at T2-T3 (P<.01), and lactate level at T3-T4 (P<.01). CONCLUSIONS Dex reduces CSA-AKI, potentially by regulating metabolic disorders and reducing oxidative stress. Registered with the Chinese Clinical Study Registry (No. ChiCTR2100051804).

Ren J, Kitaura H, Noguchi T, Ohori F, Marahleh A, Ma J, Kanou K, Fan Z, Mizoguchi I. Exogenous Angiotensin-(1-7) Provides Protection Against Inflammatory Bone Resorption and Osteoclastogenesis by Inhibition of TNF-α Expression in Macrophages. Calcif Tissue Int 2024:10.1007/s00223-024-01257-6. [PMID: 39030433 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-024-01257-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis. It is reported to be involved in mediating osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in diseases of inflammatory bone resorption such as osteoporosis. Angiotensin-(1-7), a product of Angiotensin I and II (Ang I, II), is cleaved by Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and then binds to Mas receptor to counteract inflammatory effects produced by Ang II. However, the mechanism by which Ang-(1-7) reduces bone resorption remains unclear. Therefore, we aim to elucidate the effects of Ang-(1-7) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoclastogenesis. In vivo, mice were supracalvarial injected with Ang-(1-7) or LPS ± Ang-(1-7) subcutaneously. Bone resorption and osteoclast formation were compared using micro-computed tomography, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain, and real-time PCR. We found that Ang-(1-7) attenuated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TRAP, and Cathepsin K expression from calvaria and decreased osteoclast number along with bone resorption at the suture mesenchyme. In vitro, RANKL/TNF-α ± Ang-(1-7) was added to cultures of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and osteoclast formation was measured via TRAP staining. The effect of Ang-(1-7) on LPS-induced osteoblasts RANKL expression and peritoneal macrophages TNF-α expression was also investigated. The effect of Ang-(1-7) on the MAPK and NF-κB pathway was studied by Western blotting. As a result, Ang-(1-7) reduced LPS-stimulated macrophages TNF-α expression and inhibited the MAPK and NF-κB pathway activation. However, Ang-(1-7) did not affect osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL/TNF-α nor reduce osteoblasts RANKL expression in vitro. In conclusion, Ang-(1-7) alleviated LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vivo via inhibiting TNF-α expression in macrophages.

J Biol Chem 2024; 300:105502. [PMID: 38016515 PMCID: PMC10770716 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Fatty acid handling and complex lipid synthesis are altered in the kidney cortex of diabetic patients. We recently showed that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system without changes in glycemia can reverse diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and restore the lipid metabolic network in the kidney cortex of diabetic (db/db) mice, raising the possibility that lipid remodeling may play a central role in DKD. However, the roles of specific enzymes involved in lipid remodeling in DKD have not been elucidated. In the present study, we used this diabetic mouse model and a proximal tubule epithelial cell line (HK2) to investigate the potential relationship between long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) and lipid metabolism in response to fatty acid exposure and inflammatory signals. We found ACSL1 expression was significantly increased in the kidney cortex of db/db mice, and exposure to palmitate or tumor necrosis factor-α significantly increased Acsl1 mRNA expression in HK-2 cells. In addition, palmitate treatment significantly increased the levels of long-chain acylcarnitines and fatty acyl CoAs in HK2 cells, and these increases were abolished in HK2 cell lines with specific deletion of Acsl1(Acsl1KO cells), suggesting a key role for ACSL1 in fatty acid β-oxidation. In contrast, tumor necrosis factor-α treatment significantly increased the levels of short-chain acylcarnitines and long-chain fatty acyl CoAs in HK2 cells but not in Acsl1KO cells, consistent with fatty acid channeling to complex lipids. Taken together, our data demonstrate a key role for ACSL1 in regulating lipid metabolism, fatty acid partitioning, and inflammation.

Dapagliflozin Treatment Augments Bioactive Phosphatidylethanolamine Concentrations in Kidney Cortex Membrane Fractions of Hypertensive Diabetic db/db Mice and Alters the Density of Lipid Rafts in Mouse Proximal Tubule Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021408.

Abstract
In addition to inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption and allowing for glucose excretion, the sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin may be efficacious in treating various comorbidities associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The molecular mechanisms by which dapagliflozin exerts its beneficial effects are largely unknown. We hypothesized dapagliflozin treatment in the diabetic kidney alters plasma membrane lipid composition, suppresses extracellular vesicle (EV) release from kidney cells, and disrupts lipid rafts in proximal tubule cells. In order to test this hypothesis, we treated diabetic db/db mice with dapagliflozin (N = 8) or vehicle (N = 8) and performed mass spectrometry-based lipidomics to investigate changes in the concentrations of membrane lipids in the kidney cortex. In addition, we isolated urinary EVs (uEVs) from urine samples collected during the active phase and the inactive phase of the mice and then probed for changes in membrane proteins enriched in the EVs. Multiple triacylglycerols (TAGs) were enriched in the kidney cortex membrane fractions of vehicle-treated diabetic db/db mice, while the levels of multiple phosphatidylethanolamines were significantly higher in similar mice treated with dapagliflozin. EV concentration and size were lesser in the urine samples collected during the inactive phase of dapagliflozin-treated diabetic mice. In cultured mouse proximal tubule cells treated with dapagliflozin, the lipid raft protein caveolin-1 shifted from less dense fractions to more dense sucrose density gradient fractions. Taken together, these results suggest dapagliflozin may regulate lipid-mediated signal transduction in the diabetic kidney.

Abstract
Research on kidney diseases is being transformed by the rapid expansion and innovations in omics technologies. The analysis, integration, and interpretation of big data, however, have been an impediment to the growing interest in applying these technologies to understand kidney function and failure. Targeting this urgent need, the University of Michigan O'Brien Kidney Translational Core Center (MKTC) and its Administrative Core established the Applied Systems Biology Core. The Core provides need-based support for the global kidney community centered on enabling incorporation of systems biology approaches by creating web-based, user-friendly analytic and visualization tools, like Nephroseq and Nephrocell, guiding with experimental design, and processing, analysis, and integration of large data sets. The enrichment core supports systems biology education and dissemination through workshops, seminars, and individualized training sessions. Meanwhile, the Pilot and Feasibility Program of the MKTC provides pilot funding to both early-career and established investigators new to the field, to integrate a systems biology approach into their research projects. The relevance and value of the portfolio of training and services offered by MKTC are reflected in the expanding community of young investigators, collaborators, and users accessing resources and engaging in systems biology-based kidney research, thereby motivating MKTC to persevere in its mission to serve the kidney research community by enabling access to state-of-the-art data sets, tools, technologies, expertise, and learning opportunities for transformative basic, translational, and clinical studies that will usher in solutions to improve the lives of people impacted by kidney disease.

Cell Signal 2022; 99:110443. [PMID: 35988808 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2022.110443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Recent studies have reported that Angiotensin II (Ang II) contributes to podocyte injury by interfering with metabolism. Glycolysis is essential for podocytes and glycolysis abnormality is associated with glomerular injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Glycerol-3-phosphate (G-3-P) biosynthesis is a shunt pathway of glycolysis, in which cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) catalyzes dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to generate G-3-P in the presence of the NADH. G-3-P is not only a substrate in glycerophospholipids and glyceride synthesis but also can be oxidated by mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD2) to regenerate DHAP in mitochondria. Since G-3-P biosynthesis links to glycolysis, mitochondrial metabolism and lipid synthesis, we speculate G-3-P biosynthesis abnormality is probably involved in podocyte injury. In this study, we demonstrated that Ang II upregulated GPD1 expression and increased G-3-P and glycerophospholipid syntheses in podocytes. GPD1 knockdown protected podocytes from Ang II-induced lipid accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. GPD1 overexpression exacerbated Ang II-induced podocyte injury. In addition, we proved that lipid accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction were correlated with G-3-P content in podocytes. These results suggest that Ang II upregulates GPD1 and promotes G-3-P biosynthesis in podocytes, which promote lipid accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes.

Abstract
Metabolic abnormality has been considered to be the seventh characteristic in cancer cells. The potential prospect of using serum biomarkers metabolites to differentiate ALL from AML remains unclear. The purpose of our study is to probe whether the differences in metabolomics are related to clinical laboratory-related indicators. We used LC-MS-based metabolomics analysis to study 50 peripheral blood samples of leukemia patients from a single center. Then Chi-square test and T test were used to analyze the clinical characteristics, laboratory indicators and cytokines of 50 patients with leukemia. Correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between them and the differential metabolites of different types of leukemia. Our study shows that it is feasible to better identify serum metabolic differences in different types and states of leukemia by metabolomic analysis on existing clinical diagnostic techniques. The metabolism of choline and betaine may also be significantly related to the patient’s blood lipid profile. The main enrichment pathways for distinguishing differential metabolites in different types of leukemia are amino acid metabolism and fatty acid metabolism. All these findings suggested that differential metabolites and lipid profiles might identify different types of leukemia based on existing clinical diagnostic techniques, and their rich metabolic pathways help us to better understand the physiological characteristics of leukemia.

Abstract
Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) improves biochemical and histological parameters of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Targeted adjunct medical therapy may enhance renoprotection following RYGB. Methods The effects of RYGB and RYGB plus fenofibrate, metformin, ramipril, and rosuvastatin (RYGB-FMRR) on metabolic control and histological and ultrastructural indices of glomerular and proximal tubular injury were compared in the Zucker Diabetic Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) rat model of DKD. Renal cortical transcriptomic (RNA-sequencing) and urinary metabolomic (1H-NMR spectroscopy) responses were profiled and integrated. Transcripts were assigned to kidney cell types through in silico deconvolution in kidney single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and microdissected tubular epithelial cell proteomics datasets. Medication-specific transcriptomic responses following RYGB-FMRR were explored using a network pharmacology approach. Omic correlates of improvements in structural and ultrastructural indices of renal injury were defined using a molecular morphometric approach. Results RYGB-FMRR was superior to RYGB alone with respect to metabolic control, albuminuria, and histological and ultrastructural indices of glomerular injury. RYGB-FMRR reversed DKD-associated changes in mitochondrial morphology in the proximal tubule to a greater extent than RYGB. Attenuation of transcriptomic pathway level activation of pro-fibrotic responses was greater after RYGB-FMRR than RYGB. Fenofibrate was found to be the principal medication effector of gene expression changes following RYGB-FMRR, which led to the transcriptional induction of PPARα-regulated genes that are predominantly expressed in the proximal tubule and which regulate peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO). After omics integration, expression of these FAO transcripts positively correlated with urinary levels of PPARα-regulated nicotinamide metabolites and negatively correlated with urinary tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates. Changes in FAO transcripts and nicotinamide and TCA cycle metabolites following RYGB-FMRR correlated strongly with improvements in glomerular and proximal tubular injury. Conclusions Integrative multi-omic analyses point to PPARα-stimulated FAO in the proximal tubule as a dominant effector of treatment response to combined surgical and medical therapy in experimental DKD. Synergism between RYGB and pharmacological stimulation of FAO represents a promising combinatorial approach to the treatment of DKD in the setting of obesity.

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The severity of dyslipidaemia not only correlates with CKD stage but is also associated with CKD-associated cardiovascular disease and mortality. Understanding how lipids are dysregulated in CKD is, however, challenging owing to the incredible diversity of lipid structures. CKD-associated dyslipidaemia occurs as a consequence of complex interactions between genetic, environmental and kidney-specific factors, which to understand, requires an appreciation of perturbations in the underlying network of genes, proteins and lipids. Modern lipidomic technologies attempt to systematically identify and quantify lipid species from biological systems. The rapid development of a variety of analytical platforms based on mass spectrometry has enabled the identification of complex lipids at great precision and depth. Insights from lipidomics studies to date suggest that the overall architecture of free fatty acid partitioning between fatty acid oxidation and complex lipid fatty acid composition is an important driver of CKD progression. Available evidence suggests that CKD progression is associated with metabolic inflexibility, reflecting a diminished capacity to utilize free fatty acids through β-oxidation, and resulting in the diversion of accumulating fatty acids to complex lipids such as triglycerides. This effect is reversed with interventions that improve kidney health, suggesting that targeting of lipid abnormalities could be beneficial in preventing CKD progression.
