Abstract
BACKGROUND The prospective associations of serum 25(OH)D, sun exposure time, and dietary vitamin D with risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) are unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the relations of serum 25(OH)D, sun exposure time, and dietary vitamin D intake with new-onset AKI and examine whether genetic susceptibility modified such associations. METHODS A total of 413,169 participants (mean age was 56.4 y, 47.2% were male) from UK Biobank without prior AKI were included. Sun exposure time was expressed as time spent outdoors. Genetic risk scores were calculated by 263 single nucleotide polymorphisms, which showed significant associations with the estimated glomerular filtration rate. The primary outcome was new-onset AKI. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the HRs and (95% CIs). RESULTS During a median follow-up duration of 12 y, 16,938 (4.1%) participates developed new-onset AKI. Compared with those with serum 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L, significantly lower risks of new-onset AKI were found between participants with 25(OH)D 25 to <50 nmol/L (adjusted HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.73, 0.80), and ≥50 nmol/L (adjusted HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.65, 0.72). Moreover, in summer, participants who spent ≥4 h outdoors per day (tertile 3) had a significantly lower risk of new-onset AKI (adjusted HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.86, 0.95) than those who spent <2 h outdoors per day (tertile 1). Similar results were found for time spent outdoors in winter. In addition, those in quintile 5 of dietary vitamin D intake showed a lower risk of new-onset AKI (≥4.2 μg/d, adjusted HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.98) than those in quintile 1 (<1.0 μg/d). Genetic risks of kidney diseases did not significantly modify all the 3 above associations (all P-interactions >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum 25(OH)D concentrations, time spent outdoors, and dietary vitamin D intake were all inversely associated with new-onset AKI, independent of genetic risks for kidney diseases.

An explorative study of inflammation-related proteins associated with kidney injury in male heat-stressed workers. J Therm Biol 2023; 112:103433. [PMID: 36796890 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2022.103433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin (CKDnt) and acute kidney injury (AKI) often affect heat-stressed Mesoamerican manual workers. Inflammation occurs concurrently with AKI in this population, but its role remains unknown. To explore links between inflammation and kidney injury in heat stress, we compared levels of inflammation-related proteins in cutters with and without increasing serum creatinine levels during sugarcane harvest. These sugarcane cutters have previously been identified to be repeatedly exposed to severe heat stress during the five month harvest season. A nested case-control study was conducted among male Nicaraguan sugarcane cutters in a CKDnt hotspot. Cases (n = 30) were defined as having an increase in creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL across the five-month harvest. Controls (n = 57) had stable creatinine levels. Ninety-two inflammation-related proteins in serum were measured before and after harvest using Proximity Extension Assays. Mixed linear regression was used to identify differences in protein concentrations between cases and controls before harvest, differential trends during harvest, and association between protein concentrations and the urine kidney injury markers Kidney Injury Molecule (KIM)-1, Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein (MCP)-1 and albumin. One protein, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 23 (CCL23), was elevated among cases at pre-harvest. Changes in seven inflammation-related proteins (CCL19, CCL23, colony-stimulating factor 1 [CSF1], hepatocyte and fibroblast growth factors [HGF and FGF23], and tumor necrosis factor beta [TNFB] and TNF-related activation-induced cytokine [TRANCE]) were associated with case status and at least two out of three urine kidney injury markers (KIM-1, MCP-1 and albumin). Several of these have been implicated in myofibroblast activation, which likely is an important step in kidney interstitial fibrotic disease such as CKDnt. This study provides an initial exploration of immune system determinants of, and activation during, kidney injury experienced during prolonged heat stress.

Paricalcitol Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury in Mice by Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Inflammation via Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24020969. [PMID: 36674485 PMCID: PMC9861387 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24020969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Effective and targeted prevention and treatment methods for acute kidney injury (AKI), a common clinical complication, still needs to be explored. Paricalcitol is a biologically active chemical that binds to vitamin D receptors in the body to exert anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the molecular mechanism of the effect of paricalcitol on AKI remains unclear. The current study uses a paricalcitol pretreatment with a mouse AKI model induced by cisplatin to detect changes in renal function, pathology and ultrastructure. Results showed that paricalcitol significantly improved renal function in mice and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and mitochondrial damage in renal tissue. Furthermore, paricalcitol markedly suppressed reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels in the kidneys of AKI mice and increased the levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, Catalase and total anti-oxidant capacity. In addition, we detected renal necrosis and inflammation-related proteins in AKI mice by immunofluorescence and Western blot, and found that their levels were markedly decreased after paricalcitol pretreatment. Moreover, paricalcitol promotes nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the nucleus and activates the Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway; while HO-1 is inhibited, the protective effect of paricalcitol on the kidney is attenuated. In conclusion, paricalcitol exerts a renoprotective effect by decreasing renal oxidative injury and inflammation through Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, providing a new insight into AKI prevention.

Abstract
Objective To investigate longitudinal changes in the blood concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) from midlife to late life and their major predictors in the general population. Patients and Methods In 14,444 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, we analyzed the association of 31,095 measurements of serum intact FGF23 with age using data from 3 visits (visit 2 [N=13,460; mean age, 57 years]; visit 3 [N=12,323; mean age, 60 years]; and visit 5 [N=6122; mean age, 76 years]) and a linear mixed-effects model. Among 5804 participants who had FGF23 measurements at both visits 3 and 5, we explored predictors of FGF23 change from midlife to late life using linear regression models. Prespecified risk factors were estimated glomerular filtration rate, body mass index, ever smoking, ever drinker, diabetes, hypertension, history of cardiovascular disease, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Results Median FGF23 concentrations were 41.9 pg/mL (interquartile interval [IQI], 33.9 to 51.8 pg/mL) at visit 2, 38.3 pg/mL (IQI, 30.6 to 48.3 pg/mL) at visit 3, and 55.0 pg/mL (IQI, 44.4 to 70.3 pg/mL) at visit 5. A linear mixed-effects model showed that the association of FGF23 with age was nonlinear, with a slight decline or no change in age 45-60 years and a monotonic increase in age greater than or equal to 65 years (FGF23, +10 to 15 pg/mL per 10 years of age). In a multivariable linear regression model, significantly greater increases in FGF23 were noted, with midlife estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 vs more than or equal to 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (ΔFGF23, +4.4 pg/mL [95% CI, 0.9 to 8.0]), diabetes vs no diabetes (ΔFGF23, +6.2 pg/mL [95% CI, 4.1 to 8.3]), and hypertension vs no hypertension (ΔFGF23, +4.1 pg/mL [95% CI, 2.7 to 5.4]). Conclusion FGF23 did not show any major changes in midlife but increased linearly in late life. Reduced kidney function, diabetes, and hypertension were robustly associated with a greater increase in FGF23. Further investigations are needed to understand the potential mechanisms linking these conditions to an increase in FGF23 concentrations.
