Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), initially developed for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment, have demonstrated significant cardiovascular and renal benefits in heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), irrespective of T2D. This review provides an analysis of the multifaceted mechanisms underlying the cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2i in HF and CKD outside of the T2D context. Eight major aspects of the protective effects of SGLT2i beyond glycemic control are explored: 1) the impact on renal hemodynamics and tubuloglomerular feedback; 2) the natriuretic effects via proximal tubule Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 inhibition; 3) the modulation of neurohumoral pathways with evidence of attenuated sympathetic activity; 4) the impact on erythropoiesis, not only in the context of local hypoxia but also systemic inflammation and iron regulation; 5) the uricosuria and mitigation of the hyperuricemic environment in cardiorenal syndromes; 6) the multiorgan metabolic reprogramming including the potential induction of a fasting-like state, improvement in glucose and insulin tolerance, and stimulation of lipolysis and ketogenesis; 7) the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) upregulation and angiogenesis, and 8) the direct cardiac effects. The intricate interplay between renal, neurohumoral, metabolic, and cardiac effects underscores the complexity of SGLT2i actions and provides valuable insights into their therapeutic implications for HF and CKD. Furthermore, this review sets the stage for future research to evaluate the individual contributions of these mechanisms in diverse clinical settings.

Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:129. [PMID: 38236324 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-09039-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea is closely related to oxidative stress. 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (Tempol) can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ameliorate oxidative damage in the body. The mechanism by which Tempol alleviates chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced lung injury has rarely been reported. This study aimed to confirm the molecular mechanism by which Tempol alleviates lung injury. METHODS The levels of miR-212-5p and Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) in injured lungs were analyzed using bioinformatics. In vitro, intermittent hypoxia (IH) treatment induced hypoxia in BEAS-2B cells and we established a model of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in mouse using a programmed hypoxia chamber. We used HE staining to observe the morphology of lung tissue, and the changes in lung fibers were observed by Masson staining. The levels of inflammatory factors in mouse serum were detected by ELISA, and the levels of the oxidative stress indicators GSH, MDA, SOD and ROS were detected using commercially available kits. Moreover, a real-time qPCR assay was used to detect miR-212-5p expression, and Western blotting was used to detect the levels of SIRT6, HIF-1α and apoptosis-related proteins. CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation. Subsequently, we used flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis. Dual-luciferase gene reporters determine the on-target binding relationship of miR-212-5p and SIRT6. RESULTS SIRT6 was highly expressed in CIH-induced lung injury, as shown by bioinformatics analysis; however, miR-212-5p expression was decreased. Tempol promoted miR-212-5p expression, and the levels of SIRT6 and HIF-1α were inhibited. In BEAS-2B cells, Tempol also increased proliferation, inhibited apoptosis and inhibited oxidative stress in BEAS-2B cells under IH conditions. In BEAS-2B cells, these effects of Tempol were reversed after transfection with an miR-212-5p inhibitor. miR-212-5p targeted and negatively regulated the level of SIRT6 and overexpression of SIRT6 effectively reversed the enhanced influence of the miR-212-5p mimic on Tempol's antioxidant activity. Tempol effectively ameliorated lung injury in CIH mice and inhibited collagen deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration. Likewise, the therapeutic effect of Tempol could be effectively reversed by interference with the miR-212-5p inhibitor. CONCLUSION Inhibition of the SIRT6-HIF-1α signaling pathway could promote the effect of Tempol by upregulating the level of miR-212-5p, thereby alleviating the occurrence of lung injury and providing a new underlying target for the treatment of lung injury.

New insights in the molecular regulation of the NADPH oxidase 2 activity: Negative modulation by Poldip2. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 199:113-125. [PMID: 36828293 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
Poldip2 was shown to be involved in oxidative signaling to ensure certain biological functions. It was proposed that, in VSMC, by interaction with the Nox4-associated membrane protein p22phox, Poldip2 stimulates the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In vitro, with fractionated membranes from HEK393 cells over-expressing Nox4, we confirmed the up-regulation of NADPH oxidase 4 activity by the recombinant and purified Poldip2. Besides Nox4, the Nox1, Nox2, or Nox3 isoforms are also established partners of the p22phox protein raising the question of their regulation by Poldip2 and of the effect in cells expressing simultaneously different Nox isoforms. In this study, we have addressed this issue by investigating the potential regulatory role of Poldip2 on NADPH oxidase 2, present in phagocyte cells. Unexpectedly, the effect of Poldip2 on phagocyte NADPH oxidase 2 was opposite to that observed on NADPH oxidase 4. Using membranes from circulating resting neutrophils, the ROS production rate of NADPH oxidase 2 was down-regulated by Poldip2 (2.5-fold). The down-regulation effect could not be correlated to the interaction of Poldip2 with p22phox but rather, to the interaction of Poldip2 with the p47phox protein, one of the regulatory proteins of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. Our results show that the interaction of Poldip2 with p47phox constitutes a novel regulatory mechanism that can negatively modulate the activity of NADPH oxidase 2 by trapping the so-called "adaptor" subunit of the complex. Poldip2 could act as a tunable switch capable of specifically regulating the activities of NADPH oxidases. This selective regulatory role of Poldip2, positive for Nox4 or negative for Nox2 could orchestrate the level and the type of ROS generated by Nox enzymes in the cells.

Abstract
Oxidative stress had been linked to hypertensive renal impairment in previous investigations. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was a clinically available oxidative stress biomarker. The association between SOD and the microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients has not been established. From January 2017 to December 2018, data on 690 patients with essential hypertension were collected retrospectively at Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital. Patients were divided into hypertension with microalbuminuria group (HM) and hypertension without microalbuminuria group (NHM). Clinical data from patients were collected and compared between the two groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between UACR and SOD. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen for the risk factors for HM. Our research included 556 patients in the NHM group and 134 patients in the HM group. Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SOD and UACR (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed SOD was an independent protective factor in hypertensive patients with HM. In hypertensive patients, a substantial, negative correlation between SOD and early renal damage was found, suggesting that SOD may protect renal function.

Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2022; 234:e13778.

Abstract
AIMS Acute kidney injury (AKI), a major health burden, lacks effective therapy. Anti-inflammatory actions of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13) may provide a new treatment option for AKI. Along with inflammation, oxidative stress is critical for AKI development, yet the impact of ADAMTS13 on oxidative stress in AKI remains to be fully elucidated. METHODS We assess recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rhADAMTS13) actions on oxidative stress in a murine ischaemia/reperfusion (IR) model. Antioxidant stress-enzyme activities, renal morphology, kidney function markers and vascular function of isolated afferent arterioles are quantified. RESULTS rhADAMTS13 provided after IR, reduces blood urea nitrogen (BUN) by 33% and serum creatinine (Scr) by 73% in 24 hours post-IR. rhADAMTS13 reduces BUN (40.03 ± 20.34 mmol/L vs 72.35 ± 18.74 mmol/L, P < .01), Scr (75.67 ± 51.19 μmol/L vs 176.17 ± 55.38 μmol/L, P < .01) and proteinuria by 41% in 48 hours post-IR as well. Moreover, rhADAMTS13 administration decreases malondialdehyde (MDA) and increases the activity of antioxidant stress enzymes, and attenuates reactive oxygen species production. rhADAMTS13 also upregulates nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2/haem oxygenase-1, enhances antioxidant enzymes activity and alleviates endothelial dysfunction. Finally, treatment with rhADAMTS13 mitigates severe functional and morphological injury present in IR mice. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation is limited by rhADAMTS13 and PPARγ expression is partly restored in ischaemic kidneys. Co-administration of von Willebrand factor (VWF) impairs rhADAMTS13's antioxidant capacity and its protective role in IR. CONCLUSION rhADAMTS13 alleviates renal IR injury through antioxidant effects by cleaving VWF.

Abstract
POLDIP2 is a multifunctional protein whose roles are only partially understood. Our laboratory previously reported physiological studies performed using a mouse gene trap model, which suffered from three limitations: perinatal lethality in homozygotes, constitutive Poldip2 inactivation and inadvertent downregulation of the adjacent Tmem199 gene. To overcome these limitations, we developed a new conditional floxed Poldip2 model. The first part of the present study shows that our initial floxed mice were affected by an unexpected mutation, which was not readily detected by Southern blotting and traditional PCR. It consisted of a 305 kb duplication around Poldip2 with retention of the wild type allele and could be traced back to the original targeted ES cell clone. We offer simple suggestions to rapidly detect similar accidents, which may affect genome editing using both traditional and CRISPR-based methods. In the second part of the present study, correctly targeted floxed Poldip2 mice were generated and used to produce a new constitutive knockout line by crossing with a Cre deleter. In contrast to the gene trap model, many homozygous knockout mice were viable, in spite of having no POLDIP2 expression. To further characterize the effects of Poldip2 ablation in the vasculature, RNA-seq and RT-qPCR experiments were performed in constitutive knockout arteries. Results show that POLDIP2 inactivation affects multiple cellular processes and provide new opportunities for future in-depth study of its functions.

Abstract
High salt intake is associated with hypertension, which is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). International Guidelines recommend a large reduction in the consumption of sodium to reduce blood pressure, organ damage, and mortality. In its early stages, the symptoms of CKD are generally not apparent. CKD proceeds in a "silent" manner, necessitating the need for urinary biomarkers to detect kidney damage at an early stage. Since traditional renal biomarkers, such as serum creatinine, are not sufficiently sensitive, difficulties are associated with detecting kidney damage induced by a high salt intake, particularly in normotensive individuals. Several new biomarkers for renal tubular damage, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), vanin-1, liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), have recently been identified. However, few studies have investigated early biomarkers for CKD progression associated with a high salt diet. This chapter provides insights into novel biomarkers for CKD in normo- and hypertensive individuals with a high salt intake. Recent studies using spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) fed a high salt diet identified urinary vanin-1 and NGAL as early biomarkers for renal tubular damage in SHR and WKY, whereas urinary KIM-1 was a useful biomarker for salt-induced renal injury in SHR only. Clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2021; 320:F429-F441. [PMID: 33491564 PMCID: PMC7988813 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00500.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Renal autoregulation is critical in maintaining stable renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced kidney injury is characterized by reduced RBF and GFR. The mechanisms contributing to renal microvascular dysfunction in IR have not been fully determined. We hypothesized that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributed to impaired renal autoregulatory capability in IR rats. Afferent arteriolar autoregulatory behavior was assessed using the blood-perfused juxtamedullary nephron preparation. IR was induced by 60 min of bilateral renal artery occlusion followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Afferent arterioles from sham rats exhibited normal autoregulatory behavior. Stepwise increases in perfusion pressure caused pressure-dependent vasoconstriction to 65 ± 3% of baseline diameter (13.2 ± 0.4 μm) at 170 mmHg. In contrast, pressure-mediated vasoconstriction was markedly attenuated in IR rats. Baseline diameter averaged 11.7 ± 0.5 µm and remained between 90% and 101% of baseline over 65-170 mmHg, indicating impaired autoregulatory function. Acute antioxidant administration (tempol or apocynin) to IR kidneys for 20 min increased baseline diameter and improved autoregulatory capability, such that the pressure-diameter profiles were indistinguishable from those of sham kidneys. Furthermore, the addition of polyethylene glycol superoxide dismutase or polyethylene glycol-catalase to the perfusate blood also restored afferent arteriolar autoregulatory responsiveness in IR rats, indicating the involvement of superoxide and/or hydrogen peroxide. IR elevated mRNA expression of NADPH oxidase subunits and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in renal tissue homogenates, and this was prevented by tempol pretreatment. These results suggest that ROS accumulation, likely involving superoxide and/or hydrogen peroxide, impairs renal autoregulation in IR rats in a reversible fashion.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) leads to renal microvascular dysfunction manifested by impaired afferent arteriolar autoregulatory efficiency. Acute administration of scavengers of reactive oxygen species, polyethylene glycol-superoxide dismutase, or polyethylene glycol-catalase following renal IR restored afferent arteriolar autoregulatory capability in IR rats, indicating that renal IR led to reversible impairment of afferent arteriolar autoregulatory capability. Intervention with antioxidant treatment following IR may improve outcomes in patients by preserving renovascular autoregulatory function and potentially preventing the progression to chronic kidney disease after acute kidney injury.

ADAMTS13 inhibits oxidative stress and ameliorates progressive chronic kidney disease following ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2021; 231:e13586. [PMID: 33226724 DOI: 10.1111/apha.13586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Reduced A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with a ThromboSpondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13) levels are observed in kidney disease. We test whether recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rhADAMTS13) mitigates renal injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the potential mechanisms. METHODS CKD was established 3 months after ischaemia/reperfusion (IR). ADAMTS13 and von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels, renal function and morphological changes were analysed. Afferent arteriolar responses to angiotensin II (Ang II) and acetylcholine (ACh) were measured. Oxidative stress-related molecules were detected. RESULTS Higher vWF and lower ADAMTS13 levels were observed in CKD mice, which were markedly attenuated by rhADAMTS13. rhADAMTS13 alleviated renal dysfunction, as documented by decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in CKD mice. Moreover, rhADAMTS13 attenuated transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smad3 activation. Plasma vWF: ADAMTS13 ratio showed positive correlations with malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) and proteinuria, and correlated inversely with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Finally, rhADAMTS13 inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and improved microvascular functional disorders, accompanied by the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β hyperactivity and upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. CONCLUSIONS Acute kidney injury (AKI) reduces the expression of ADAMTS13 that contributes to progressive CKD, microvascular dysfunction, oxidative stress, inhibition of Nrf2 activity and renal histopathological damage. All of which can be alleviated by administration of rhADAMTS13.

Oxidative Stress Markers in Chronic Kidney Disease with Emphasis on Diabetic Nephropathy. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9100925.

Abstract
Diabetes prevalence is increasing worldwide, especially through the increase of type 2 diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy occurs in up to 40% of diabetic patients and is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Various factors affect the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Hyperglycaemia increases free radical production, resulting in oxidative stress, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Free radicals have a short half-life and are difficult to measure. In contrast, oxidation products, including lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and nucleic acid oxidation, have longer lifetimes and are used to evaluate oxidative stress. In recent years, different oxidative stress biomarkers associated with diabetic nephropathy have been found. This review summarises current evidence of oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Although some of them are promising, they cannot replace currently used clinical biomarkers (eGFR, proteinuria) in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by the aerobic metabolism. The imbalance between production of ROS and antioxidant defence in any cell compartment is associated with cell damage and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of renal disease. NADPH oxidase (NOX) family is the major ROS source in the vasculature and modulates renal perfusion. Upregulation of Ang II and adenosine activates NOX via AT1R and A1R in renal microvessels, leading to superoxide production. Oxidative stress in the kidney prompts renal vascular remodelling and increases preglomerular resistance. These are key elements in hypertension, acute and chronic kidney injury, as well as diabetic nephropathy. Renal afferent arterioles (Af), the primary resistance vessel in the kidney, fine tune renal hemodynamics and impact on blood pressure. Vice versa, ROS increase hypertension and diabetes, resulting in upregulation of Af vasoconstriction, enhancement of myogenic responses and change of tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), which further promotes hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. In the following, we highlight oxidative stress in the function and dysfunction of renal hemodynamics. The renal microcirculatory alterations brought about by ROS importantly contribute to the pathophysiology of kidney injury, hypertension and diabetes.

Abstract
Autocrine and paracrine signaling in the kidney adds an extra level of diversity and complexity to renal physiology. The extensive scientific production on the topic precludes easy understanding of the fundamental purpose of the vast number of molecules and systems that influence the renal function. This systematic review provides the broader pen strokes for a collected image of renal paracrine signaling. First, we recapitulate the essence of each paracrine system one by one. Thereafter the single components are merged into an overarching physiological concept. The presented survey shows that despite the diversity in the web of paracrine factors, the collected effect on renal function may not be complicated after all. In essence, paracrine activation provides an intelligent system that perceives minor perturbations and reacts with a coordinated and integrated tissue response that relieves the work load from the renal epithelia and favors diuresis and natriuresis. We suggest that the overall function of paracrine signaling is reno-protection and argue that renal paracrine signaling and self-regulation are two sides of the same coin. Thus local paracrine signaling is an intrinsic function of the kidney, and the overall renal effect of changes in blood pressure, volume load, and systemic hormones will always be tinted by its paracrine status.

Abstract
The last 20-25 years have seen an explosion of interest in the role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) in cardiovascular function and disease. In vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, NOX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as second messengers, contributing to the control of normal vascular function. NOX activity is altered in response to a variety of stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptor agonists, growth-factors, perfusion pressure, flow and hypoxia. NOX-derived ROS are involved in smooth muscle constriction, endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle growth, proliferation and migration, thus contributing to the fine-tuning of blood flow, arterial wall thickness and vascular resistance. Through reversible oxidative modification of target proteins, ROS regulate the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, G proteins, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. There is now considerable, but somewhat contradictory evidence that NOX contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension through oxidative stress. Specific NOX isoforms have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, hyper-contractility and vascular remodelling in various animal models of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also have potential protective effects, particularly NOX4. This review explores the multiplicity of NOX function in the healthy vasculature and the evidence for and against targeting NOX for antihypertensive therapy.

Abstract
In salt-sensitive hypertension, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in the progression of renal disease partly through the activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). We have previously demonstrated that urinary vanin-1 is an early biomarker of oxidative renal tubular injury. However, it remains unknown whether urinary vanin-1 might reflect the treatment effect. The objective of this study was to clarify the treatment effect for renal tubular damage in Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats. DS rats (six weeks old) were given one of the following for four weeks: high-salt diet (8% NaCl), high-salt diet plus a superoxide dismutase mimetic, tempol (3 mmol/L in drinking water), high-salt diet plus eplerenone (100 mg/kg/day), and normal-salt diet (0.3% NaCl). After four-week treatment, blood pressure was measured and kidney tissues were evaluated. ROS were assessed by measurements of malondialdehyde and by immunostaining for 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. A high-salt intake for four weeks caused ROS and histological renal tubular damages in DS rats, both of which were suppressed by tempol and eplerenone. Proteinuria and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase exhibited a significant decrease in DS rats receiving a high-salt diet plus eplerenone, but not tempol. In contrast, urinary vanin-1 significantly decreased in DS rats receiving a high-salt diet plus eplerenone as well as tempol. Consistent with these findings, immunohistochemical analysis revealed that vanin-1 was localized in the renal proximal tubules but not the glomeruli in DS rats receiving a high-salt diet, with the strength attenuated by tempol or eplerenone treatment. In conclusion, these results suggest that urinary vanin-1 is a potentially sensitive biomarker for ameliorating renal tubular damage in salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
Amplification of oxidative stress is present since the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), holding a key position in the pathogenesis of renal failure. Induction of renal pro-oxidant enzymes with excess generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accumulation of dityrosine-containing protein products produced during oxidative stress (advanced oxidation protein products—AOPPs) have been directly linked to podocyte damage, proteinuria, and the development of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) as well as tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Vascular oxidative stress is considered to play a critical role in CKD progression, and ROS are potential mediators of the impaired myogenic responses of afferent renal arterioles in CKD and impaired renal autoregulation. Both oxidative stress and inflammation are CKD hallmarks. Oxidative stress promotes inflammation via formation of proinflammatory oxidized lipids or AOPPs, whereas activation of nuclear factor κB transcription factor in the pro-oxidant milieu promotes the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and recruitment of proinflammatory cells. Accumulating evidence implicates oxidative stress in various clinical models of CKD, including diabetic nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease as well as the cardiorenal syndrome. The scope of this review is to tackle the issue of oxidative stress in CKD in a holistic manner so as to provide a future framework for potential interventions.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious condition without efficient therapeutic options. Recent studies have indicated that recombinant human a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs 13 (rhADAMTS13) provides protection against inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that ADAMTS13 might protect against AKI by reducing inflammation. Bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) was used as AKI models in this study. Prophylactic infusion of rhADAMTS13 was employed to investigate potential mechanisms of renal protection. Renal function, inflammation, and microvascular endothelial function were assessed after 24 h of reperfusion. Our results showed that I/R mice increased plasma von Willebrand factor levels but decreased ADAMTS13 expression. Administration of rhADAMTS13 to I/R mice recovered renal function, histological injury, and apoptosis. Renal inflammation was reduced by rhADAMTS13, accompanied with the downregulation of p38/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase phosphorylation and cyclooxygenase-2 expression. rhADAMTS13 restored vasodilation in afferent arterioles in I/R mice. Furthermore, rhADAMTS13 treatment enhanced phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 and eNOS at Ser1177. Administration of the Akt pathway inhibitor wortmannin reduced the protective effect of rhADAMTS13. Our conclusions are that treatment with rhADAMTS13 ameliorates renal I/R injury by reducing inflammation, tubular cell apoptosis, and improving microvascular endothelial dysfunction. rhADAMTS13 could be a promising strategy to treat AKI in clinical settings.

Abstract
High salt, Ang II (angiotensin II), and reactive oxygen species enhance progression of chronic kidney disease. We tested the hypothesis that a high salt intake generates specific reactive oxygen species to enhance Ang II contractions of afferent arterioles from mice with reduced renal mass (RRM). C57BL/6 mice were subjected to surgical RRM or sham operations and received 6% or 0.4% NaCl salt diet for 3 months. Ang II contractions were measured in perfused afferent arterioles and superoxide (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by fluorescence microscopy. RRM enhanced the afferent arteriolar gene expression for p47phox and neutrophil oxidase (NOX) 2 and high salt intake in RRM mice enhanced gene expression for angiotensin type 1 receptors, POLDIP2 and NOX4 and reduced catalase. High salt in mice with RRM enhanced arteriolar O2- and H2O2 generation and maximal contractions to Ang II (10-6 mol/L) that were dependent on O2- because they were prevented by gene deletion of p47phox and on H2O2 because they were prevented by transgenic smooth muscle cell expression of catalase (tgCAT-SMC) and POLDIP2 gene deletion. Three months of tempol normalized arteriolar reactive oxygen species and Ang II contractions. However, arteriolar contractions to lower concentrations of Ang II (10-8 to 10-11 mol/L) were paradoxically inhibited by H2O2 and POLDIP2. In conclusion, both O2- from p47phox/NOX2 and H2O2 from NOX4/POLDIP2 enhance maximal arteriolar Ang II contractions from RRM mice during high salt, but H2O2 and NOX4/POLDIP2 reduce the sensitivity to lower concentrations of Ang II by >100-fold. Tempol prevents all of these changes in function.

Abstract
The role of NADPH oxidase (Nox)-derived reactive oxygen species in kidney vascular function has extensively been investigated in the harmful context of oxidative stress in diabetes and obesity-associated kidney disease. Since hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has recently been involved in the non-nitric oxide (NO) non-prostanoid relaxations of intrarenal arteries, the present study was sought to investigate whether NADPH oxidases may be functional sources of vasodilator H2O2 in the kidney and to assess their role in the endothelium-dependent relaxations of human and rat intrarenal arteries. Renal interlobar arteries isolated from the kidney of renal tumor patients who underwent nephrectomy, and from the kidney of Wistar rats, were mounted in microvascular myographs to assess function. Superoxide (O2.-) and H2O2 production was measured by chemiluminescence and Amplex Red fluorescence, and Nox2 and Nox4 enzymes were detected by Western blotting and by double inmunolabeling along with eNOS. Nox2 and Nox4 proteins were expressed in the endothelium of renal arterioles and glomeruli co-localized with eNOS, levels of expression of both enzymes being higher in the cortex than in isolated arteries. Pharmacological inhibition of Nox with apocynin and of CYP 2C epoxygenases with sulfaphenazol, but not of the NO synthase (NOS), reduced renal NADPH-stimulated O2.- and H2O2 production. Under conditions of cyclooxygenase and NOS blockade, acetylcholine induced endothelium-dependent relaxations that were blunted by the non-selective Nox inhibitor apocynin and by the Nox2 or the Nox1/4 inhibitors gp91ds-tat and GKT136901, respectively. Acetylcholine stimulated H2O2 production that was reduced by gp91ds-tat and by GKT136901. These results suggest the specific involvement of Nox4 and Nox2 subunits as physiologically relevant endothelial sources of H2O2 generation that contribute to the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation of renal arteries and therefore have a protective role in kidney vasculature.

Enhanced Renal Afferent Arteriolar Reactive Oxygen Species and Contractility to Endothelin-1 Are Associated with Canonical Wnt Signaling in Diabetic Mice. Kidney Blood Press Res 2018; 43:860-871. [PMID: 29870994 PMCID: PMC6050514 DOI: 10.1159/000490334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2017] [Accepted: 05/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Canonical Wnt signaling is involved in oxidative stress, vasculopathy and diabetes mellitus but its role in diabetic renal microvascular dysfunction is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that enhanced canonical Wnt signaling in renal afferent arterioles from diabetic mice increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and contractions to endothelin-1 (ET-1). METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetes or control C57Bl/6 mice received vehicle or sulindac (40 mg·kg-1·day-1) to block Wnt signaling for 4 weeks. ET-1 contractions were measured by changes of afferent arteriolar diameter. Arteriolar H2O2, O2 -, protein expression and enzymatic activity were assessed using sensitive fluorescence probes, immunoblotting and colorimetric assay separately. RESULTS Compared to control, diabetic mouse afferent arteriole had increased O2- (+ 84%) and H2O2 (+ 91%) and enhanced responses to ET-1 at 10-8 mol·l-1 (-72±4% of versus -43±4%, P< 0.05) accompanied by reduced protein expressions and activities for catalase and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). Arteriolar O2 - was increased further by ET-1 and contractions to ET-1 reduced by PEG-SOD in both groups whereas H2O2 unchanged by ET-1 and contractions were reduced by PEG-catalase selectively in diabetic mice. The Wnt signaling protein β-catenin was upregulated (3.3-fold decrease in p-β-catenin/β-catenin) while the glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) was downregulated (2.6-fold increase in p-GSK-3β/ GSK-3β) in preglomerular vessels of diabetic mice. Sulindac normalized the Wnt signaling proteins, arteriolar O2 -, H2O2 and ET-1 contractions while doubling microvascular catalase and SOD2 expression in diabetic mice. CONCLUSION Increased ROS, notably H2O2 contributes to enhanced afferent arteriolar responses to ET-1 in diabetes, which is closely associated with Wnt signaling. Antioxidant pharmacological strategies targeting Wnt signaling may improve vascular function in diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome of reduced glomerular filtration rate and urine production caused by a number of different diseases. It is associated with renal tissue damage. This tissue damage can cause tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis that leads to nephron loss and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review describes the in-common mechanisms behind tissue damage in AKI caused by different underlying diseases. Comparing six high-quality microarray studies of renal gene expression after AKI in disease models (gram-negative sepsis, gram-positive sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion, malignant hypertension, rhabdomyolysis, and cisplatin toxicity) identified 5,254 differentially expressed genes in at least one of the AKI models; 66% of genes were found only in one model, showing that there are unique features to AKI depending on the underlying disease. There were in-common features in the form of four genes that were differentially expressed in all six models, 49 in at least five, and 215 were found in common between at least four models. Gene ontology enrichment analysis could be broadly categorized into the injurious processes hypoxia, oxidative stress, and inflammation, as well as the cellular outcomes of cell death and tissue remodeling in the form of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Pathway analysis showed that MYC is a central connection in the network of activated genes in-common to AKI, which suggests that it may be a central regulator of renal gene expression in tissue injury during AKI. The outlining of this molecular network may be useful for understanding progression from AKI to CKD.
