Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the progressive growth of renal cysts, leading to the loss of functional nephrons. Recommendations for individuals with ADPKD to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle are largely similar to those for the general population. However, recent evidence from preclinical models suggests that more tightly specified dietary regimens, including caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diets, hold promise to slow disease progression, and the results of ongoing human clinical trials are eagerly awaited. These dietary interventions directly influence nutrient signaling and substrate availability in the cystic kidney, while also conferring systemic metabolic benefits. The present review focuses on the importance of local and systemic metabolism in ADPKD and summarizes current evidence for dietary interventions to slow disease progression and improve quality of life.

Dietary omega-3 PUFA improved tubular function after ischemia induced acute kidney injury in mice but did not attenuate impairment of renal function. Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 2019; 146:106386. [PMID: 31698142 DOI: 10.1016/j.prostaglandins.2019.106386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 08/09/2019] [Accepted: 08/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication after major surgery and solid organ transplantation. Here, we present a dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n3-PUFA) supplementation study to investigate whether pre-treatment can reduce ischemia induced AKI in mice. METHODS Male 12-14 week old C57BL/6 J mice received a linoleic acid rich sunflower oil based standard diet containing 10 % fat (STD) or the same diet enriched with n3-PUFA (containing 1 % EPA and 1 % DHA) (STD + n3). After 14 days of feeding bilateral 30 min renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) was conducted to induce AKI and mice were sacrificed at 24 h. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) as well as liver enzyme elevation were measured. Kidney damage was analyzed by histology and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, MCP-1) were determined by qPCR. FA and oxylipin pattern were quantified in blood and kidneys by GC-FID and LC-MS/MS, respectively. RESULTS n3-PUFA supplementation prior to renal IRI increased systemic and renal levels of n3-PUFA. Consistently, eicosanoids and other oxylipins derived from n3-PUFA including precursors of specialized pro-resolving mediators were elevated while n6-PUFA derived mediators such as pro-inflammatory prostaglandins were decreased. Feeding of n3-PUFA did not attenuate renal function impairment, morphological renal damage and inflammation characterized by IL-6 and MCP-1 elevation or neutrophil infiltration. However, the tubular transport marker alpha-1 microglobulin (A1M) was significantly higher expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells of STD + n3 compared to STD fed mice. This indicates a better integrity of proximal tubular epithelial cells and thus significant protection of tubular function. In addition, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) which protects tubular function was also up-regulated in the treatment group receiving n3-PUFA supplemented chow. DISCUSSION We showed that n3-PUFA pre-treatment did not affect overall renal function or renal inflammation in a mouse model of moderate ischemia induced AKI, but tubular transport was improved. In conclusion, dietary n3-PUFA supplementation altered the oxylipin levels significantly but did not protect from renal function deterioration or attenuate ischemia induced renal inflammation.

Abstract
Oxylipins are bioactive lipids derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that are important regulators of kidney function and health. Targeted lipidomic analyses of renal oxylipins from four studies of rodent models of renal disease were performed to investigate the differential effects of dietary flax compared to fish oil, soy protein compared to casein, and sex. Across all studies, dietary fish oil was more effective than flax oil in reducing n-6 PUFA derived oxylipins and elevating eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) derived oxylipins, whereas dietary flax oil resulted in higher α-linolenic acid (ALA) oxylipins. Dietary soy protein compared to casein resulted in higher linoleic acid (LA) derived oxylipins. Kidneys from females had higher levels of arachidonic acid (AA) oxylipins, but similar or lower levels of oxylipins from other PUFA. Modulation of the oxylipin profile by diet and sex may help elucidate their effects on renal physiology and health.

Lack of Benefit of Early Intervention with Dietary Flax and Fish Oil and Soy Protein in Orthologous Rodent Models of Human Hereditary Polycystic Kidney Disease. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0155790.

Abstract
Rationale for dietary advice in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is based in part on animal studies that have examined non-orthologous models with progressive development of cystic disease. Since no model completely mimics human PKD, the purpose of the current studies was to examine the effects of dietary soy protein (compared to casein) or oils enriched in omega-3 fatty acids (fish or flax oil compared to soy oil) on early disease progression in two orthologous models of PKD. The models studied were Pkd2WS25/- mice as a model of autosomal dominant PKD, and PCK rats as a model of autosomal recessive PKD. After 13 weeks of feeding, dietary fish (but not flax) oil resulted in larger kidneys and greater kidney water content in female Pkd2WS25/- compared to control mice. After 12 weeks of feeding male PCK compared to control rats, both fish and flax compared to soy oil resulted in enlarged kidneys and livers, greater kidney water content and higher kidney cyst area in diseased rats. Dietary soy protein compared to casein had no effects in Pkd2WS25/- compared to control mice. In PCK rats, kidney and liver histology were not improved, but lower proteinuria and higher urine pH suggest that soy protein could be beneficial in the long term. Therefore, in contrast to studies in non-orthologous models during the progressive development phase, these studies in orthologous PKD models do not support dietary advice to increase soy protein or oils enriched in omega-3 oils in early PKD.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a heritable disease characterized by renal cysts and is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Dietary intervention offers a potentially efficacious, cost-effective, and safe therapeutic option for PKD. The aim of this article was to review studies investigating the effect of dietary components on PKD and potential mechanisms of action. Low-protein diets are commonly recommended for PKD patients, but inconsistent findings in human and animal PKD studies suggest that the type rather the amount of protein may be of greater importance. Dietary soy protein has been shown to have renal protective effects in various animal models of PKD. Other than dietary proteins, studies investigating the role of the amount and type of dietary lipids on PKD progression are increasing. The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can alter multiple steps in PKD pathogenesis. Phytoestrogens and phytochemicals are other dietary compounds shown to attenuate cyst pathogenesis in animal studies. A better understanding of the role of nutrition in PKD can contribute to the development of dietary recommendations and diet-based therapies to reduce PKD progression and severity.

Abstract
We have previously shown nutritional intervention with fish oil (n-3 PUFA) to reduce numerous complications associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rat. In the present study, we sought to explore the potential role of fish oil to prevent glomerulosclerosis in JCR:LA-cp rats via renal eicosanoid metabolism and lipidomic analysis. Male lean and MetS JCR:LA-cp rats were fed a lipid-balanced diet supplemented with fish oil (5 or 10 % of total fat). After 16 weeks of feeding, albuminuria was significantly reduced in MetS rats supplemented with 5 or 10 % fish oil ( − 53 and − 70 %, respectively, compared with the untreated MetS rats). The 5 % fish oil diet resulted in markedly lower glomerulosclerosis ( − 43 %) in MetS rats and to a lesser extent in those supplemented with 10 % fish oil. Interestingly, untreated MetS rats had higher levels of 11- and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETE) v. lean rats. Dietary fish oil reduced these levels, as well as other (5-, 9- and 15-) HETE. Whilst genotype did not alter prostanoid levels, fish oil reduced endogenous renal levels of 6-keto PGF1α (PGI2 metabolite), thromboxane B2 (TxB2), PGF2α and PGD2 by approximately 60 % in rats fed 10 % fish oil, and TxB2 ( − 50 %) and PGF2α ( − 41 %) in rats fed 5 % fish oil. In conclusion, dietary fish oil prevented glomerular damage in MetS rats and mitigated the elevation in renal HETE levels. These results suggest a potential role for dietary fish oil to improve dysfunctional renal eicosanoid metabolism associated with kidney damage during conditions of the MetS.

Abstract
Compared with casein, dietary soy protein slows disease progression in animal models of chronic renal injury. To determine whether dietary soy protein feeding can alter early disease progression, male Han:SPRD-cy rats (n = 87) in a very early stage of chronic kidney disease were fed soy protein compared with casein-based diets for 1 or 3 wk. Kidneys were assessed for fibrosis, cyst growth, fatty acid composition and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production. Soy protein feeding significantly reduced renal fibrosis by 22% (P = 0.0347) and 38% (P = 0.0102) after 1 and 3 wk of diet, and cyst growth was 34% lower after 3 wk (P < 0.0001). Kidney 18:2(n-6) levels were reduced in normal and diseased rats after as little as 1 wk of consuming the soy protein diet. Dietary soy protein also partially ameliorated the suppression of PGE(2) production observed in diseased kidneys. Compared with diseased kidneys from casein-fed rats, ex vivo PGE(2) release was 31-32% higher after 1 (P = 0.0281) and 3 (P = 0.0189) wk of dietary soy protein consumption. Hence, the first signs of a beneficial soy protein effect were observed after 1 wk of feeding, with further improvements evident after 3 wk. These data demonstrate that dietary soy protein compared with casein delays disease progression in an early stage of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Low-fat diets and diets containing n-3 fatty acids (FA) slow the progression of renal injury in the male Han:Sprague-Dawley (SPRD)-cy rat model of polycystic kidney disease. To determine whether these dietary fat effects are similar in females and in another model of renal cystic disease, in this study we used both male and female pcy mice to examine the effects of fat level and type on disease progression. Adult pcy mice were fed 4, 10, or 20 g soybean oil/100 g diet for 130 d in study 1. In study 2, weanling pcy mice were fed high or low levels of fat rich in 18:2n-6 (corn oil, CO), 18:3n-3 (flaxseed oil/CO 4:1 g/g, FO), or 22:6n-3 (algal oil/CO 4:1 g/g, DO) for 8 wk. In adult pcy mice, low- compared with high-fat diets lowered kidney weights (2.4 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.2 g/100 g body weight, P = 0.006) and serum urea nitrogen (SUN) (9.6 +/- 0.6 vs. 11.9 +/- 0.6 mmol/L, P = 0.009), whereas in young pcy mice it reduced renal fibrosis volumes (0.44 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.62 +/- 0.04 mL/kg body weight, P < 0.0001). FO feeding in young pcy mice mitigated the detrimental effects of high fat on fibrosis while not altering kidney size, function, and oxidative damage when compared with the CO-fed mice. In contrast, DO- compared with CO-fed mice had higher kidney weights (2.64 +/- 0.07 vs. 2.24 +/- 0.08 g/100 g body weight, P = 0.005), SUN (9.4 +/- 0.57 vs. 7.0 +/- 0.62 mmol/L, P < 0.0001), and cyst volumes (7.9 +/- 0.28 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.30 mL/kg body weight, P < 0.0001) and similar levels of oxidative damage and fibrosis. The FA compositions of the diets were reflected in the kidneys: 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, and 22:6n-3 were the highest in the CO, FO, and DO diets, respectively. Dietary effects on kidney disease progression were similar in males and females. A low-fat diet slows progression of renal injury in male and female pcy mice, consistent with findings in the male Han:SPRD-cy rat. Dietary fat type also influenced renal injury, with flaxseed oil diets rich in 18:3n-3 slowing early fibrosis progression compared with diets rich in 18:2n-6 or in 22:6n-3.

Abstract
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) regulate the formation of physiologically active prostaglandins, the production of which is known to be elevated in several renal disorders. We studied the relevance of these enzymes in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by using two models of the disease: a model in which decline in renal function begins in adulthood (CD1-pcy/pcy mouse) and one in which it occurs early, during growth (Han:SPRD-cy rat). Immunoblotting analyses of cytosolic and particulate kidney fractions revealed that cPLA2 levels are significantly higher (by 34-131%) in the latter stages of the disease in both models. Renal COX enzymes were found only in the particulate fractions, with COX-1 87% higher in 6-month-old CD1-pcy/pcy mice compared with normal controls, and 110% higher in male 70-day-old Han:SPRD-cy rats with cystic kidneys compared with controls. Renal COX-2 was detected only in the rats and was 58% lower in diseased kidneys of 70-day-old male Han:SPRD-cy rats, indicating that cPLA2 is coupled to COX-1 in the kidney. The altered levels of these eicosanoid-regulating enzymes has implications for the use of NSAIDS and specific COX inhibitors in individuals with this disorder.

Abstract
Dietary fish oils containing (n-3) fatty acids can modulate renal inflammatory injury. We previously demonstrated that a high fat (HF) diet worsens early renal disease progression in the Han:SPRD-cy rat model of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Therefore, using HF (20 g/100 g diet) and low fat (LF; 5 g/100 g diet) diets, we compared the effects of menhaden oil (MO), soybean oil (SO) and cottonseed oil (CO) on renal function and histology in male Han:SPRD-cy rats fed the diets for 6 wk in the early stages of renal disease. Overall, rats fed HF compared with those fed LF diets had larger kidneys, more renal fibrosis and lower creatinine clearance (main effects of fat level). Rats fed MO rather than CO and SO diets had significantly lower kidney weights, kidney water content, cyst volumes and serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations (main effects of fat type). Rats fed MO diets also had less renal fibrosis than those fed CO diets, but the least fibrosis was in rats fed SO diets. Analysis of simple effects (due to interactions between fat level and type) revealed that HF diets increased renal inflammation in rats fed CO diets, but reduced inflammation was present in those fed SO and MO diets; HF diets also increased compared with LF diets serum urea nitrogen concentrations in rats fed the MO and CO diets, but not the SO diet. These results confirm that high dietary fat worsens early disease progression in this model of renal disease, and further demonstrate that diets with oils containing (n-3) fatty acids ameliorate some of the detrimental effects of a high fat diet.

Abstract
Our studies of renal phosphoinositide levels and metabolism in the pcy mouse with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) suggest that phosphatidylinositol kinase (PtdInsK) and phospholipase C (PLC) are elevated in this renal disorder. Therefore, the steady-state levels of select isoforms of these enzymes were examined in renal cytosolic and particulate (detergent-soluble) fractions in male and female normal and CD1-pcy/pcy (pcy) mice at 60, 120 and 180 days of age, and in male and female normal and diseased (Han:SPRD-cy) rats at 28 and 70 days of age. Disease-related increases in phosphatidylinositol 4-kinasebeta (PtdIns4Kbeta) and PLC(gamma1) levels were present in both models. PtdIns4Kbeta levels were higher by as much as 233% in pcy mice and by 95% in diseased Han:SPRD-cy rats compared to normals of the same age and gender. Steady-state levels of PLC(gamma1) were as much as 74% and 35% higher in pcy mice and diseased Han:SPRD-cy rats, respectively, compared to their controls. The consistency of these alterations in two accepted models of PKD indicates the importance of the phosphoinositide signalling pathway in the evolution of this disorder, and represents a potential site for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
An increased understanding of the molecular genetic and cellular pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for the development of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), made possible by the advances in molecular biology and genetics of the last three decades, has laid the foundation for the development of effective therapies. As the concept that a polycystic kidney is a neoplasm in disguise is becoming increasingly accepted, the development of therapies for ADPKD may benefit greatly from the expanding body of information on cancer chemoprevention and chemosuppression. This review summarizes the observations that already have been made and discusses therapies for PKD that deserve investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary soy protein compared with casein retards disease progression in a gender-specific manner in the pcy mouse. In this model of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), kidney insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels are elevated. The present study examined the gender-specific effects of soy protein feeding on disease and IGF-I in Han:SPRD-cy rats. METHODS Normal (+/+) and affected (cy/+) weanling male and female Han:SPRD-cy rats were given either casein- or soy protein-based diets for six weeks. Renal size, water content, cyst size and IGF-I, serum creatinine, urea and IGF-I, and creatinine clearance were determined. RESULTS Soy protein-fed cy/+ animals had lower kidney weight, water content and cyst size, lower serum urea and creatinine, and higher creatinine clearance. In cy/+ females, dietary soy protein resulted in normalized serum creatinine and creatinine clearance. Kidney IGF-I levels (ng/kidney) were 32 to 76% higher in cy/+ compared with +/+ groups (P < 0.001). Soy protein feeding resulted in lower kidney IGF-I in cy/+ males (1123 vs. 1496 ng/kidney, P < 0.001) and cy/+ females (816 vs. 943 ng/kidney, P < 0.05). In males, soy protein feeding resulted in lower serum IGF-I concentrations in +/+ (1439 vs. 1708 ng/mL, P < 0.05) and in cy/+ (1483 vs. 2073 ng/mL, P < 0.001) animals. CONCLUSIONS Dietary soy protein compared with casein delays the progression of disease in male and female Han:SPRD-cy rats. Overall, IGF-I was lower in +/+ animals, in females, and in animals consuming the soy protein diet, supporting a role for IGF-I in the pathogenesis of disease in the Han:SPRD-cy rat and an ameliorating role for dietary soy protein.

Abstract
The effect of a high level of dietary fat on renal cyst disease was examined in the Han:SPRD-cy rat model of polycystic kidney disease. Control and diseased rats at 4 wk of age were fed either a low fat or high fat diet (5 or 20 g/100 g diet) for 6 wk. In rats with kidney disease fed the high fat rather than the low fat diet, kidneys were 17% larger, renal fluid content was 19% higher and cyst scores were 30% higher, indicating greater disease progression. In diseased rats fed the high fat diet, serum urea was 25% higher, indicating worsened renal function. Serum creatinine was 49% higher only in males. To examine whether high dietary fat worsened renal cyst disease by altering sex hormone concentrations, serum testosterone and estrogen concentrations were determined. In normal compared with diseased male rats, serum testosterone concentrations were one to three times higher. Serum testosterone concentrations were higher in normal male rats fed the high compared with the low fat diet, but were not affected by diet in diseased rats. Serum estrogen concentrations were unaffected by dietary fat levels or by disease state. Although it remains to be elucidated how dietary fat influences sex hormone concentrations in this disease, the current study demonstrates that a high dietary fat intake increases kidney disease progression in Han:SPRD-cy rats.

Abstract
The effects of dietary soy protein compared to casein were examined in male and female CD1-pcy/pcy (pcy) mice with polycystic kidney disease. Animals 10 wk of age were fed purified diets containing either soy protein isolate or casein given at a level of 17.4 or 6% protein. After 13 wk on the diets, body weights and serum concentrations of albumin and protein indicated that protein nutrition was adequate on all diets. Overall, animals fed soy protein versus casein had 28% lower (P = 0.0037) relative kidney weights (g/100 g body wt), 37% lower (P = 0.0089) cyst scores (% cyst area x relative kidney weight), and 25% less (P = 0.0144) kidney water (g). Dietary protein reduction resulted in 30% lower (P = 0.0010) relative kidney weights, 25% lower (P = 0.0327) cyst scores, and 35% less (P = 0.0001) kidney water. Analysis of interactions between main effects revealed that the effects of soy protein on kidney size were significant only in females, and that effects of soy protein on cyst score were significant only in animals on the low protein diets. In addition, differences in kidney weights and cyst score due to protein reduction were significant in animals fed soy protein, but not in those fed casein as the protein source. These results show that both dietary protein source and level significantly affect polycystic kidney disease in pcy animals, with the effects of dietary soy protein being most pronounced in female animals fed the low protein diets and the effects of protein reduction being most pronounced in animals fed soy protein-based diets.

Abstract
A paucity of research data exists on the potential for early dietary modification to directly retard cystic growth and proliferation in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). We have therefore examined the relative effects of dietary protein levels and oil type on the progression of disease in a murine model of PKD. In the first study, weanling DBA/2FG-pcy (pcy) mice were fed either a normal (NP), 25%, or low (LP), 6%, casein diet with 10% of either sunflower seed oil (SO) (containing n-6 fatty acids), or fish oil (FO) (containing n-3 fatty acids), in a 2 x 2 design. At the end of the dietary treatment, kidney weight relative to body weight was higher in mice on the NP diets. In addition, kidney phospholipid to kidney weight (mumol/g) was lower in pcy mice on NP diets, indicating that the increased kidney size was largely due to increased cyst development. Replacement of dietary SO with FO resulted in alterations in renal phospholipid fatty acid compositions: 18:2 n-6, 20:4 n-6, and 22:5 n-6 were lower, and 20:5 n-3, 22:5 n-3, and 22:6 n-3 were higher in FO-fed animals. No effect of dietary lipid type on disease progression was noted, however. In a second study, morphometric analysis revealed an 11% lower percentage cyst area and a 46% lower total cyst area (mm2) in kidney sections derived from mice on LP diets compared to NP diets. These results indicate that early dietary protein restriction in PKD prior to clinical manifestation of symptoms of the disease may have a significant impact on the pathogenesis of PKD.
