Abstract
Acute kidney injury activates both proliferative and antiproliferative pathways, the consequences of which are not fully elucidated. If an initial proliferation of the renal epithelium is necessary for the successful repair, the persistence of proliferation markers is associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease. We hypothesized that proliferation in stress conditions impacts cell viability and renal outcomes. We found that proliferation is associated with cell death after various stresses in kidney cells. In vitro, the ATP/ADP ratio oscillates reproducibly throughout the cell cycle, and cell proliferation is associated with a decreased intracellular ATP/ADP ratio. In vivo, transcriptomic data from transplanted kidneys revealed that proliferation was strongly associated with a decrease in the expression of the mitochondria-encoded genes of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, but not of the nucleus-encoded ones. These observations suggest that mitochondrial function is a limiting factor for energy production in proliferative kidney cells after injury. The association of increased proliferation and decreased mitochondrial function was indeed associated with poor renal outcomes. In summary, proliferation is an energy-demanding process impairing the cellular ability to cope with an injury, highlighting proliferative repair and metabolic recovery as indispensable and interdependent features for successful kidney repair.NEW & NOTEWORTHY ATP depletion is a hallmark of acute kidney injury. Proliferation is instrumental to kidney repair. We show that ATP levels vary during the cell cycle and that proliferation sensitizes renal epithelial cells to superimposed injuries in vitro. More proliferation and less energy production by the mitochondria are associated with adverse outcomes in injured kidney allografts. This suggests that controlling the timing of kidney repair might be beneficial to mitigate the extent of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Kidney organoids have shown promise as evaluation tools, but their in vitro maturity remains limited. Transplantation into adult mice has aided in maturation; however, their lack of urinary tract connection limits long-term viability. Thus, long-term viable generated nephrons have not been demonstrated. In this study, we present an approachable method in which mouse and rat renal progenitor cells are injected into the developing kidneys of neonatal mice, resulting in the generation of chimeric nephrons integrated with the host urinary tracts. These chimeric nephrons exhibit similar maturation to the host nephrons, long-term viability with excretion and reabsorption functions, and cisplatin-induced renal injury in both acute and chronic phases, as confirmed by single-cell RNA-sequencing. Additionally, induced human nephron progenitor cells differentiate into nephrons within the neonatal kidneys. Collectively, neonatal injection represents a promising approach for in vivo nephron generation, with potential applications in kidney regeneration, drug screening, and pathological analysis.

Abstract
Inflammation is a crucial pathological feature in cancers and kidney diseases, playing a significant role in disease progression. Cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6 not only contribute to cell cycle progression but also participate in cell metabolism, immunogenicity and anti-tumor immune responses. Recently, CDK4/6 inhibitors have gained approval for investigational treatment of breast cancer and various other tumors. Kidney diseases and cancers commonly exhibit characteristic pathological features, such as the involvement of inflammatory cells and persistent chronic inflammation. Remarkably, CDK4/6 inhibitors have demonstrated impressive efficacy in treating non-cancerous conditions, including certain kidney diseases. Current studies have identified the renoprotective effect of CDK4/6 inhibitors, presenting a novel idea and potential direction for treating kidney diseases in the future. In this review, we briefly reviewed the cell cycle in mammals and the role of CDK4/6 in regulating it. We then provided an introduction to CDK4/6 inhibitors and their use in cancer treatment. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of these inhibitors in the treatment of kidney diseases. Collectively, growing evidence demonstrates that targeting CDK4 and CDK6 through CDK4/6 inhibitors might have therapeutic benefits in various cancers and kidney diseases and should be further explored in the future.

Abstract
Elderly patients have increased susceptibility to acute kidney injury (AKI). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are key regulators of cellular processes, and have been implicated in both aging and AKI. Our aim was to study the effects of aging and ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) on the renal expression of lncRNAs. Adult and old (10- and 26-30-month-old) C57BL/6 N mice were subjected to unilateral IRI followed by 7 days of reperfusion. Renal expression of 90 lncRNAs and mRNA expression of injury, regeneration, and fibrosis markers was measured by qPCR in the injured and contralateral control kidneys. Tubular injury, regeneration, and fibrosis were assessed by histology. Urinary lipocalin-2 excretion was increased in old mice prior to IRI, but plasma urea was similar. In the control kidneys of old mice tubular cell necrosis and apoptosis, mRNA expression of kidney injury molecule-1, fibronectin-1, p16, and p21 was elevated. IRI increased plasma urea concentration only in old mice, but injury, regeneration, and fibrosis scores and their mRNA markers were similar in both age groups. AK082072 and Y lncRNAs were upregulated, while H19 and RepA transcript were downregulated in the control kidneys of old mice. IRI upregulated Miat, Igf2as, SNHG5, SNHG6, RNCR3, Malat1, Air, Linc1633, and Neat1 v1, while downregulated Linc1242. LncRNAs H19, AK082072, RepA transcript, and Six3os were influenced by both aging and IRI. Our results indicate that both aging and IRI alter renal lncRNA expression suggesting that lncRNAs have a versatile and complex role in aging and kidney injury. An Ingenuity Pathway Analysis highlighted that the most downregulated H19 may be linked to aging/senescence through p53.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is more frequent in elderly patients. Mechanisms contributing to AKI (tubular cell death, inflammatory cell infiltration, impaired mitochondrial function, and prolonged cell-cycle arrest) have been linked to cellular senescence, a process implicated in regeneration failure and progression to fibrosis. However, the molecular and pathological basis of the age-related increase in AKI incidence is not completely understood. To explore these mechanisms, experimental AKI was induced by folic acid (FA) administration in young (3-months-old) and old (1-year-old) mice, and kidneys were evaluated in the early phase of AKI, at 48 h. Tubular damage score, KIM-1 expression, the recruitment of infiltrating immune cells (mainly neutrophils and macrophages) and proinflammatory gene expression were higher in AKI kidneys of old than of young mice. Tubular cell death in FA-AKI involves several pathways, such as regulated necrosis and apoptosis. Ferroptosis and necroptosis cell-death pathways were upregulated in old AKI kidneys. In contrast, caspase-3 activation was only found in young but not in old mice. Moreover, the antiapoptotic factor BCL-xL was significantly overexpressed in old, injured kidneys, suggesting an age-related apoptosis suppression. AKI kidneys displayed evidence of cellular senescence, such as increased levels of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p16ink4a and p21cip1, and of the DNA damage response marker γH2AX. Furthermore, p21cip1 mRNA expression and nuclear staining for p21cip1 and γH2AX were higher in old than in young FA-AKI mice, as well as the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) components (Il-6, Tgfb1, Ctgf, and Serpine1). Interestingly, some infiltrating immune cells were p21 or γH2AX positive, suggesting that molecular senescence in the immune cells (“immunosenescence”) are involved in the increased severity of AKI in old mice. In contrast, expression of renal protective factors was dramatically downregulated in old AKI mice, including the antiaging factor Klotho and the mitochondrial biogenesis driver PGC-1α. In conclusion, aging resulted in more severe AKI after the exposure to toxic compounds. This increased toxicity may be related to magnification of proinflammatory-related pathways in older mice, including a switch to a proinflammatory cell death (necroptosis) instead of apoptosis, and overactivation of cellular senescence of resident renal cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Various cellular insults and injury to renal epithelial cells stimulate repair mechanisms to adapt and restore the organ homeostasis. Renal tubular epithelial cells are endowed with regenerative capacity, which allows for a restoration of nephron function after acute kidney injury. However, recent evidence indicates that the repair is often incomplete, leading to maladaptive responses that promote the progression to chronic kidney disease. The dysregulated cell cycle and proliferation is also a key feature of renal tubular epithelial cells in polycystic kidney disease and HIV-associated nephropathy. Therefore, in this review, we provide an overview of cell cycle regulation and the consequences of dysregulated cell proliferation in acute kidney injury, polycystic kidney disease, and HIV-associated nephropathy. An increased understanding of these processes may help define better targets for kidney repair and combat chronic kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). No effective drugs to treat IR-related AKI are currently available. Recent pre-clinical trials have evaluated the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles-exosomes to chronic kidney disease. Here, we found exosomes derived from the tubular epithelial cell in IR condition (ExoIR) enriched CD26, compared with control (ExoNormal). Tracking exosomes in vivo certified tubular epithelial cell uptake exosomes. We have isolated exosomes with overexpression of CD26 (ExoCD26+) from culture media from tubular epithelial cell line transferred by adenovirus vectors. After administration of exosomes (100 mg) or bovine serum albumin (BSA, equivalent protein control) in IR or sham operation mice after 72 h via tail vein injection, the renal function impairment and histology injury were relived in mice receiving ExoCD26+. Immunofluorescence staining with proliferating cell nuclear antigen revealed ExoCD26+ recovered proliferation of cells partly after IR injury. Cell cycle modulator, p53 and p21 were upregulated in IR mice receiving BSA control, ExoNormal, and ExoIR. ExoCD26+ significantly blunt this protein upregulation. Inflammatory cell infiltration and chemokine receptor (CXCR4) were dissipated in IR mice receiving ExoCD26+. Downstream chemokine of CXCR4, stromal derived factor-1 (SDF1) also decreased after administration of ExoCD26+ in IR mice. Finally, ExoCD26+ suppressed inundant collagenⅠ expression in IR kidney. In conclusion, Tubular epithelial cells derived-exosomes containing CD26 might be one of the therapy modes for IR-AKI by maintaining proliferation and dissipating inflammation.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which contributes to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal IRI combines major events, including a strong inflammatory immune response leading to extensive cell injuries, necrosis and late interstitial fibrosis. Macrophages act as key players in IRI-induced AKI by polarizing into proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Compelling evidence exists that the stress-responsive enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), mediates protection against renal IRI and modulates macrophage polarization by enhancing a M2 subset. Hereafter, we review the dual effect of macrophages in the pathogenesis of IRI-induced AKI and discuss the critical role of HO-1 expressing macrophages.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6665714. [PMID: 33681367 PMCID: PMC7925038 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6665714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion- (IR-) induced kidney injury is difficult to avoid during renal transplantation and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Renal IR injury is characterized by tubular damage, microcirculation failure, and inflammation, which coordinately augment renal injury; however, no specific treatment is available for these conditions. Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) and its ligand, thrombin, are involved in coagulation and were shown to be associated with epithelial cell injury. Here, we hypothesized that PAR-1 exaggerated renal IR-induced tubular cell damage and microcirculation failure and that pharmacological inhibition of PAR-1 by Q94 could prevent these injuries. Renal warm IR increased the expression of PAR-1 in the renal tubules. Q94 attenuated renal IR-induced changes and histopathological damage. Microcirculation failure analyzed by congestion in the histopathology and blood cell flow examined by intravital multiphoton microscopy were suppressed by Q94 treatment. Q94 also dramatically increased tubular cell proliferation despite the lower renal damage. Thrombin suppressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in the tubules; these effects were prevented by Q94 treatment. Taken together, PAR-1 was associated with renal IR injury. Inhibition of PAR-1 ameliorated injury possibly by improving renal microcirculation and tubular cell survival/proliferation.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is important for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis during normal development. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of renin angiotensin system (RAS) blockade on renal cell senescence in the developing rat kidney. Newborn rat pups were treated with enalapril (30 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for seven days after birth. We investigated the intrarenal expressions of cell cycle regulators p21 and p16 with immunoblots and immunohistochemistry at postnatal day 8. For the determination of renal cellular senescence, immunostaining for senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) was also performed. Enalapril treatment showed significant alterations in cellular senescence in neonatal rat kidneys. In the enalapril-treated group, intrarenal p16 and p21 protein expressions decreased compared to controls. The expressions of both p21 and p16 were reduced throughout the renal cortex and medulla of enalapril-treated rats. The immunoreactivity of TERT in enalapril-treated kidneys was also weaker than that in control kidneys. Control kidneys revealed a clear positive SA-β-gal signal in the cortical tubules; however, SA-β-gal activity was noticeably lower in the enalapril-treated kidneys than in control kidneys. Interruption of the RAS during postnatal nephrogenesis may disrupt physiologic renal cellular senescence in the developing rat kidney.

Abstract
Sepsis is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients in the intensive care unit. However, the numbers of basic science papers for septic AKI account for only 1% of all publications on AKI. This may be partially attributable to the specific pathophysiology of septic AKI as compared to that of the other types of AKI because it shows only modest histological changes despite functional decline and often requires real-time functional analysis. To increase the scope of research in this field, this article reviews the basic research information that has been reported thus far on the subject of septic AKI, mainly from the viewpoint of functional dysregulation, including some knowledge acquired with multiphoton intravital imaging. Moreover, the efficacy and limitation of the potential novel therapies are discussed. Finally, the author proposes several points that should be considered when designing the study, such as monitoring the long-term effects of the intervention and reflecting the clinical settings for identifying the molecular mechanisms and for challenging the intervention effects.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Clinical studies have shown that treatment with inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) significantly increases the hematocrit in patients with type 2 diabetes. To investigate whether SGLT2 inhibitors directly promote erythropoietin production independently on blood glucose reduction, the hematopoietic effect of the specific SGLT2 inhibitor, luseogliflozin, was examined in non-diabetic rats with renal anemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Renal anemia was induced by treatment with adenine (200 or 600 mg/kg/day, orally for 10 days) in non-diabetic Wistar-Kyoto or Wistar rats, respectively. Luseogliflozin (10 mg/kg bodyweight) or vehicle (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose) was then administered for 6 weeks. The hematocrit and the hemoglobin (Hb), blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, and plasma erythropoietin levels were monitored. RESULTS Treatment with adenine decreased the hematocrit and the Hb level, which were associated with increases in the blood urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine levels. In Wistar-Kyoto rats treated with 200 mg/kg/day adenine, administration of luseogliflozin induced glycosuria, but did not change the blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine levels, hematocrit, Hb or plasma erythropoietin levels. Similarly, luseogliflozin treatment failed to change the hematocrit or the Hb levels in Wistar rats with renal anemia induced by 600 mg/kg/day of adenine. Plasma erythropoietin concentrations were also not different between luseogliflozin- and vehicle-treated rats. Similarly, in human erythropoietin-producing cells derived from pluripotent stem cells, luseogliflozin treatment did not change the erythropoietin level in the medium. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that SGLT2 inhibitor fails to exert hematopoietic effects in non-diabetic conditions.

Abstract
The aberrant activation of complement system in several kidney diseases suggests that this pillar of innate immunity has a critical role in the pathophysiology of renal damage of different etiologies. A growing body of experimental evidence indicates that complement activation contributes to the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) such as delayed graft function (DGF) in transplant patients. AKI is characterized by the rapid loss of the kidney's excretory function and is a complex syndrome currently lacking a specific medical treatment to arrest or attenuate progression in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent evidence suggests that independently from the initial trigger (i.e., sepsis or ischemia/reperfusions injury), an episode of AKI is strongly associated with an increased risk of subsequent CKD. The AKI-to-CKD transition may involve a wide range of mechanisms including scar-forming myofibroblasts generated from different sources, microvascular rarefaction, mitochondrial dysfunction, or cell cycle arrest by the involvement of epigenetic, gene, and protein alterations leading to common final signaling pathways [i.e., transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), p16 ink4a , Wnt/β-catenin pathway] involved in renal aging. Research in recent years has revealed that several stressors or complications such as rejection after renal transplantation can lead to accelerated renal aging with detrimental effects with the establishment of chronic proinflammatory cellular phenotypes within the kidney. Despite a greater understanding of these mechanisms, the role of complement system in the context of the AKI-to-CKD transition and renal inflammaging is still poorly explored. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent findings describing the role of complement in AKI-to-CKD transition. We will also address how and when complement inhibitors might be used to prevent AKI and CKD progression, therefore improving graft function.

Lipopolysaccharide induces filtrate leakage from renal tubular lumina into the interstitial space via a proximal tubular Toll-like receptor 4-dependent pathway and limits sensitivity to fluid therapy in mice. Kidney Int 2019; 97:904-912.

Abstract
Sustained oliguria during fluid resuscitation represents a perplexing problem in patients undergoing therapy for septic acute kidney injury. Here, we tested whether lipopolysaccharide induces filtrate leakage from the proximal tubular lumen into the interstitium, thus disturbing the recovery of urine output during therapy, such as fluid resuscitation, aiming to restore the glomerular filtration rate. Intravital imaging of the tubular flow rate in the proximal tubules in mice showed that lipopolysaccharide did not change the inflow rate of proximal tubule filtrate, reflecting an unchanged glomerular filtration rate, but significantly reduced the outflow rate, resulting in oliguria. Lipopolysaccharide disrupted tight junctions in proximal tubules and induced both paracellular leakage of filtered molecules and interstitial accumulation of extracellular fluid. These changes were diminished by conditional knockout of Toll-like receptor 4 in the proximal tubules. Importantly, these conditional knockout mice showed increased sensitivity to fluid resuscitation and attenuated acute kidney injury. Thus, lipopolysaccharide induced paracellular leakage of filtrate into the interstitium via a Toll-like receptor 4-dependent mechanism in the proximal tubules of endotoxemic mice. Hence, this leakage might diminish the efficacy of fluid resuscitation aiming to maintain renal hemodynamics and glomerular filtration rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The matricellular protein periostin has been associated with CKD progression in animal models and human biopsy specimens. Periostin functions by interacting with extracellular matrix components to drive collagen fibrillogenesis and remodeling or by signaling through cell-surface integrin receptors to promote cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. However, its role in AKI is unknown. METHODS We used mice with conditional tubule-specific overexpression of periostin or knockout mice lacking periostin expression in the renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model, and primary cultures of isolated tubular cells in a hypoxia-reoxygenation model. RESULTS Tubular epithelial cells showed strong production of periostin during the repair phase of ischemia reperfusion. Periostin overexpression protected mice from renal injury compared with controls, whereas knockout mice showed increased tubular injury and deteriorated renal function. Periostin interacted with its receptor, integrin-β1, to inhibit tubular cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in in vivo and in vitro models. After ischemia-reperfusion injury, periostin-overexpressing mice exhibited diminished expression of proinflammatory molecules and had more F4/80+ macrophages compared with knockout mice. Macrophages from periostin-overexpressing mice showed increased proliferation and expression of proregenerative factors after ischemia-reperfusion injury, whereas knockout mice exhibited the opposite. Coculturing a macrophage cell line with hypoxia-treated primary tubules overexpressing periostin, or treating such macrophages with recombinant periostin, directly induced macrophage proliferation and expression of proregenerative molecules. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to the detrimental role of periostin in CKD, we discovered a protective role of periostin in AKI. Our findings suggest periostin may be a novel and important mediator of mechanisms controlling renal repair after AKI.

Abstract
Background P21, a cyclin kinase inhibitor, is upregulated by renal 'ischemic preconditioning' (IPC), and induces a 'cytoresistant' state. However, P21-induced cell cycle inhibition can also contribute to cellular senescence, a potential adverse renal event. Hence, this study assessed whether: (i) IPC-induced P21 upregulation is associated with subsequent renal senescence; and (ii) preconditioning can be established 'independent' of P21 induction and avoid a post-ischemic senescent state? Methods CD-1 mice were subjected to either IPC (5-15 min) or to a recently proposed 'oxidant-induced preconditioning' (OIP) strategy (tin protoporphyrin-induced heme oxygenase inhibition +/- parental iron administration). P21 induction [messenger RNA (mRNA)/protein], cell proliferation (KI-67, phosphohistone H3 nuclear staining), kidney senescence (P16ink4a; P19Arf mRNAs; senescence-associated beta-galactosidase levels) and resistance to ischemic acute kidney injury were assessed. Results IPC induced dramatic (10-25×) and persistent P21 activation and 'downstream' tubular senescence. Conversely, OIP did not upregulate P21, it increased, rather than decreased, cell proliferation markers, and it avoided a senescence state. OIP markedly suppressed ischemia-induced P21 up-regulation, it inhibited the development of post-ischemic senescence and it conferred near-complete protection against ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). To assess OIP's impact on a non-P21-dependent cytoprotective pathway, its ability to activate Nrf2, the so-called 'master regulator' of endogenous cell defenses, was assessed. Within 4 h, OIP activated each of three canonical Nrf2-regulated genes (NQO1, SRXN1, GCLC; 3- to 5-fold mRNA increases). Conversely, this gene activation pathway was absent in Nrf2-/- mice, confirming Nrf2 specificity. Nrf2-/- mice also did not develop significant OIP-mediated protection against ischemic ARF. Conclusions OIP (i) activates the cytoprotective Nrf2, but not the P21, pathway; (ii) suppresses post-ischemic P21 induction and renal senescence; and (iii) confers marked protection against ischemic ARF. In sum, these findings suggest that OIP may be a clinically feasible approach for safely activating the Nrf2 pathway, and thereby confer protection against clinical renal injury.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is accompanied by the progression of chronic kidney disease. Despite a number of past and ongoing studies, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains elusive. Here we explored the progression of renal fibrosis using a mouse model of unilateral ureter obstruction. We found that in the initial stage of damage, where extracellular matrix was not yet deposited, proximal tubular cells arrested at G2 of the cell cycle. Further analyses indicated that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 is partially involved in the G2 arrest after the damage. A newly produced monoclonal antibody against p21 revealed that levels of p21 were sharply upregulated in response to the damage during the initial stage but dropped toward the later stage. To investigate the requirement of p21 for the progression of renal fibrosis, we constructed the novel p21 deficient mice by i-GONAD method. Compared with wild-type mice, p21 deficient mice showed exacerbation of the fibrosis. Thus we propose that during the initial stage of the renal damage, tubular cells arrest in G2 partially depending on p21, thereby safeguarding kidney functions.

Abstract
The ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) model is a widely used model of acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal fibrosis. However, the ischaemia duration that is long enough to cause broad fibrosis shows that a high mortality rate and a short ischaemia duration does not cause fibrosis, resulting in a large variation in fibrosis progression in this experimental model. Inter-operator variation occurs for I/R injury severity because the I/R procedure is complex, which results in poor reproducibility of subsequent fibrosis in the model. In the present study, we developed a renal fibrosis model in which the fibrosis progression for 8 weeks is predictable within 8 days. Three operators independently performed I/R followed by uninephrectomy at day 7 in mice. The aim was to create a model that would show a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level >100 mg/dL at day 8 after I/R (day 1 after uninephrectomy). Although the ischaemia duration to satisfy this BUN criterion differed among operators, the mice developed anaemia, polyuria, and fibrosis in a similar manner under the same BUN criterion with a low mortality rate. Interstitial fibrosis had developed at week 8, which was strongly correlated with the BUN at day 8. This protocol allows operators to adjust the ischaemia duration based on the BUN criterion and to separate mice into the desired number of groups based on the BUN to study interventions against renal fibrosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered early and late phases of a pathologic continuum of interconnected disease states. Although changes in gene expression patterns have recently been elucidated for the transition of AKI to CKD, the epigenetic regulation of key kidney injury related genes remains poorly understood. We used multiplex RT-qPCR, ChIP-qPCR and integrative analysis to compare transcriptional and epigenetic changes at renal disease-associated genes across mouse AKI and CKD models. These studies showed that: (i) there are subsets of genes with distinct transcriptional and epigenetically profiles shared by AKI and CKD but also subsets that are specific to either the early or late stages of renal injury; (ii) differences in expression of a small number of genes is sufficient to distinguish AKI from CKD; (iii) transcription plays a key role in the upregulation of both AKI and CKD genes while post-transcriptional regulation appears to play a more significant role in decreased expression of both AKI and CKD genes; and (iv) subsets of transcriptionally upregulated genes share epigenetic similarities while downregulated genes do not. Collectively, our study suggests that identified common transcriptional and epigenetic profiles of kidney injury loci could be exploited for therapeutic targeting in AKI and CKD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major kidney disease with poor clinical outcome. Besides its acute consequence of high mortality, AKI may also contribute significantly to the occurrence and progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that maladaptive and incomplete kidney repair after AKI leads to the development of renal fibrosis and, ultimately, CKD. p53, a well-known tumor suppressor, plays a critical role in AKI and subsequent kidney repair through the regulation of various cell biologic processes, including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and autophagy. Despite the notable progress in deciphering the involvement of p53 in kidney injury and repair, the underlying mechanisms of p53 in these pathological processes remain largely unknown. Further investigation in this area is essential for the application of p53 as therapeutic target to prevent and treat AKI or impede its progression to CKD. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding p53 regulation of AKI and kidney repair, pinpoint the potential of p53 as a therapeutic target, and present future research interests and directions.

Abstract
Kidney transplants from aged donors are more vulnerable to ischemic injury, suffer more from delayed graft function and have a lower graft survival compared to kidneys from younger donors. On a cellular level, aging results in an increase in cells that are in a permanent cell cycle arrest, termed senescence, which secrete a range of pro-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. Consequently, these senescent cells negatively influence the local milieu by causing inflammaging, and by reducing the regenerative capacity of the kidney. Moreover, the oxidative damage that is inflicted by ischemia-reperfusion injury during transplantation can induce senescence and accelerate aging. In this review, we describe recent developments in the understanding of the biology of aging that have led to the development of a new class of therapeutic agents aimed at eliminating senescent cells. These compounds have already shown to be able to restore tissue homeostasis in old mice, improve kidney function and general health- and lifespan. Use of these anti-senescence compounds holds great promise to improve the quality of marginal donor kidneys as well as to remove senescent cells induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury. Altogether, senescent cell removal may increase the donor pool, relieving the growing organ shortage and improve long-term transplantation outcome.

Abstract
To date, good experimental animal models of renal anemia are not available. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish a novel approach to induce chronic kidney disease (CKD) with severe anemia by oral administration of adenine in rodents. Adenine was administered to 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (25 and 50 mg/kg body weight) by oral gavage daily for 28 days. Serum creatinine and BUN as well as hematocrit, hemoglobin (Hb) and plasma erythropoietin (EPO) levels were monitored to assess renal function and anemia, respectively. Adenine at 25 mg/kg for 28 days slightly increased plasma creatinine levels, but did not induce anemia. In contrast, 50 mg/kg of adenine daily for 28 days showed severe renal dysfunction (plasma creatinine 1.9 ± 0.10 mg/dL) and anemia (hematocrit 36.5 ± 1.0% and EPO 28 ± 2.4 pg/mL) as compared with vehicle-treated mice (0.4 ± 0.02 mg/dL, 49.6 ± 1.6% and 61 ± 4.0 pg/mL, respectively). At the end of experiment, level of Hb also significantly reduced in 50 mg/kg adenine administration group. Remarkable histological changes of kidney tissues characterized by interstitial fibrosis and cystic appearance in tubules were observed in 50 mg/kg of adenine treatment group. These results have demonstrated that oral dosing with adenine at 50 mg/kg for 28 days is suitable to induce a stable anemia associated with CKD in mice.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for delayed graft function in renal transplantation. Compelling evidence exists that the stress-responsive enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mediates protection against IRI. However, the role of myeloid HO-1 during IRI remains poorly characterized. Mice with myeloid-restricted deletion of HO-1 (HO-1M-KO), littermate (LT), and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to renal IRI or sham procedures and sacrificed after 24 hours or 7 days. In comparison to LT, HO-1M-KO exhibited significant renal histological damage, pro-inflammatory responses and oxidative stress 24 hours after reperfusion. HO-1M-KO mice also displayed impaired tubular repair and increased renal fibrosis 7 days after IRI. In WT mice, HO-1 induction with hemin specifically upregulated HO-1 within the CD11b+ F4/80lo subset of the renal myeloid cells. Prior administration of hemin to renal IRI was associated with significant increase of the renal HO-1+ CD11b+ F4/80lo myeloid cells in comparison to control mice. In contrast, this hemin-mediated protection was abolished in HO-1M-KO mice. In conclusion, myeloid HO-1 appears as a critical protective pathway against renal IRI and could be an interesting therapeutic target in renal transplantation.

Abstract
The number of people being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease is increasing globally. Therapeutic options to slow or halt the progression of kidney disease are limited and are not always successful, despite the increasing body of research and number of basic scientific reports in this field. Further studies are required to investigate new approaches to renal pathophysiology. State of the art optical imaging is a powerful tool used to non-invasively observe the pathophysiology of small animals and has the potential to elucidate the unknown mechanisms of renal disease and aid in our understanding of the disease. This paper is a brief summary of the current usefulness of intravital imaging using multiphoton microscopy and discusses possible future applications of the technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury is inevitable during free-tissue transfer, causing oxidative damage and extensive apoptosis. Thioredoxin is an endogenous protein with antioxidant and antiapoptotic activity in a variety of tissues. This study aims to investigate the protective effects of human thioredoxin-1 on ischemia-reperfusion flaps, and its clinical application value. METHODS Sixteen clinical specimens of ischemia-reperfusion flaps were collected and assessed for apoptosis and thioredoxin-1 expression. Eighty mice were administered recombinant human thioredoxin-1 or saline intraperitoneally for 5 days before ischemia-reperfusion. Half of the mice were killed 24 hours after reperfusion. The flap tissues were harvested and detected for the changes of morphology, apoptosis, redox condition, and relative protein expression. The flap survival percentage of the remaining mice was consecutively observed within 7 days of reperfusion. RESULTS Thioredoxin-1 abundance was negatively correlated with ischemia-reperfusion-induced apoptosis in human samples and animal models. The survival rate of the ischemia-reperfusion flaps in mice increased significantly following recombinant human thioredoxin-1 pretreatment. Mitigated tissue damage, reduced apoptosis, and more antioxidant activity were observed in recombinant human thioredoxin-1-pretreated flaps. Western blot analysis revealed thioredoxin-1 depletion and a significant increase in apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, p-p38, and cleaved caspase-3 abundance in the ischemia-reperfusion flaps, whereas supplementation of recombinant human thioredoxin-1 significantly reduced the apoptosis-related protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Thioredoxin-1 exerts its flap-protective role through redox regulation of reactive oxygen species scavenging and antiapoptotic signaling. The authors' research provides evidence that thioredoxin-1 may serve as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target for skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Emulsified isoflurane treatment inhibits the cell cycle and respiration of human bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells in a p53-independent manner. Mol Med Rep 2016; 14:349-54.

Abstract
Emulsified isoflurane (EIso), as a result of its rapid anesthetic induction, recovery and convenience, is widely used as a novel intravenous general anesthetic. Treatment with EIso can reduce injuries caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) to organs, including the heart, lung and liver, without knowing understanding the molecular mechanism. The present study hypothesized that treatment with EIso can affect the physiological processes of human lung bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) prior to I/R. To test this hypothesis, the present study first constructed stable p53 knockdown and synthesis of cytochrome c oxidase (SCO)2 knockdown 16HBE cells. The above cells were subsequently treated with EIso at a concentration of 0.1 and 0.2% for 24 h. The relevant concentration of fat emulsion was used as a negative control. The expression levels of p53, p21, SCO1, SCO2 and Tp53‑induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Subsequently, the cell proliferation, respiration and glycolysis were investigated. The results revealed that EIso treatment significantly decreased the transcription of TIGAR, SCO1 and SCO2, and increased the transcription of p21, which are all p53 target genes, in a p53-independent manner. The cell cycle was inhibited by arresting cells at the G0/G1 phase. Respiration was reduced, which caused a decrease in oxygen consumption and the accumulation of lactate and reactive oxygen species. Taken together, EIso treatment inhibited the proliferation and respiration, and promoted glycolysis in 16HBE cells. This regulatory pathway may represent a protective mechanism of EIso treatment by inhibiting cell growth and decreasing the oxygen consumption from I/R.

Abstract
Rats that have recovered from severe proximal tubule (PT) injury induced by uranyl acetate (UA), a toxic stimulus, developed resistance to subsequent UA treatment. We investigated cell cycle status and progression in PT cells in relation to this acquired resistance. Fourteen days after pretreatment with saline (vehicle group) or UA [acute kidney injury (AKI) group], rats were injected with UA or lead acetate (a proliferative stimulus). Cell cycle status (G0/G1/S/G2/M) was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cell cycle markers, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, and phenotypic markers were examined by immunohistochemistry. Cell cycle status in PT cells in the AKI group was comparable to those of the vehicle group. However, more early G1-phase cells (cyclin D1- or Ki67-) and p21+ or p27+ cells were found in the PT of the AKI group than in that of the vehicle group. UA induced G1 arrest and inhibited S phase progression with earlier dedifferentiation and less apoptosis in PT cells of the AKI group. Lead acetate induced proliferation without dedifferentiation but with delayed G0-G1 transition and inhibited S phase progression in PT cells in the AKI group. Sustained p21 and increased p27 expression in PT cells were found in the AKI group in response to UA and lead acetate. PT cells in the AKI group inhibited cell cycle progression by enhanced G1 arrest, probably via p21/p27 modulation as an injury or proliferation response, resulting in cytoresistance to rechallenge injury.

Abstract
Obesity, an important risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular disease, is often complicated by CKD, which further increases cardiovascular risk and causes ESRD. To elucidate the mechanism underlying this relationship, we investigated the role of the endocytic receptor megalin in proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs). We studied a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity/MetS model using kidney-specific mosaic megalin knockout (KO) mice. Compared with control littermates fed a normal-fat diet, control littermates fed an HFD for 12 weeks showed autolysosomal dysfunction with autophagy impairment and increased expression of hypertrophy, lipid peroxidation, and senescence markers in PTECs of the S2 segment, peritubular capillary rarefaction with localized interstitial fibrosis, and glomerular hypertrophy with mesangial expansion. These were ameliorated in HFD-fed megalin KO mice, even though these mice had the same levels of obesity, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia as HFD-fed control mice. Intravital renal imaging of HFD-fed wild-type mice also demonstrated the accumulation of autofluorescent lipofuscin-like substances in PTECs of the S2 segment, accompanied by focal narrowing of tubular lumens and peritubular capillaries. In cultured PTECs, fatty acid-rich albumin induced the increased expression of genes encoding PDGF-B and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 via megalin, with large (auto)lysosome formation, compared with fatty acid-depleted albumin. Collectively, the megalin-mediated endocytic handling of glomerular-filtered (lipo)toxic substances appears to be involved primarily in hypertrophic and senescent PTEC injury with autophagy impairment, causing peritubular capillary damage and retrograde glomerular alterations in HFD-induced kidney disease. Megalin could be a therapeutic target for obesity/MetS-related CKD, independently of weight, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia modification.

Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation can be influenced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in vivo via microRNA-106b-25 cluster, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigated the involvement of microRNA-106b-25 cluster in the proliferation of NSCs after repetitive magnetic stimulation (rMS) in vitro. NSCs were stimulated by rMS (200/400/600/800/1000 pulses per day, with 10 Hz frequency and 50% maximum machine output) over a 3-day period. NSCs proliferation was detected by using ki-67 and EdU staining. Ki-67, p21, p57, cyclinD1, cyclinE, cyclinA, cdk2, cdk4 proteins and miR-106b, miR-93, miR-25 mRNAs were detected by Western blotting and qRT-PCR, respectively. The results showed that rMS could promote NSCs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The proportions of ki-67+ and Edu+ cells in 1000 pulses group were 20.65% and 4.00%, respectively, significantly higher than those in control group (9.25%, 2.05%). The expression levels of miR-106b and miR-93 were significantly upregulated in 600-1000 pulses groups compared with control group (P<0.05 or 0.01 for all). The expression levels of p21 protein were decreased significantly in 800/1000 pulses groups, and those of cyclinD1, cyclinA, cyclinE, cdk2 and cdk4 were obviously increased after rMS as compared with control group (P<0.05 or 0.01 for all). In conclusion, our findings suggested that rMS enhances the NSCs proliferation in vitro in a dose-dependent manner and miR-106b/p21/cdks/cyclins pathway was involved in the process.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is the leading cause of acute kidney injury in a variety of clinical settings such as renal transplantation and hypovolemic and/or septic shock. Strategies to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury are obviously clinically relevant. Ischemic conditioning is an inherent part of the renal defense mechanism against ischemia and can be triggered by short periods of intermittent ischemia and reperfusion. Understanding the signaling transduction pathways of renal ischemic conditioning can promote further clinical translation and pharmacological advancements in this era. This review summarizes research on the molecular mechanisms underlying both local and remote ischemic pre-, per- and postconditioning of the kidney. The different types of conditioning strategies in the kidney recruit similar powerful pro-survival mechanisms. Likewise, renal ischemic conditioning mobilizes many of the same protective signaling pathways as in other organs, but differences are recognized.

Abstract
Urine output is widely used as a criterion for the diagnosis of AKI. Although several potential mechanisms of septic AKI have been identified, regulation of urine flow after glomerular filtration has not been evaluated. This study evaluated changes in urine flow in mice with septic AKI. The intratubular urine flow rate was monitored in real time by intravital imaging using two-photon laser microscopy. The tubular flow rate, as measured by freely filtered dye (FITC-inulin or Lucifer yellow), time-dependently declined after LPS injection. At 2 hours, the tubular flow rate was slower in mice injected with LPS than in mice injected with saline, whereas BP and GFR were similar in the two groups. Importantly, fluorophore-conjugated LPS selectively accumulated in the proximal tubules that showed reduced tubular flow at 2 hours and luminal obstruction with cell swelling at 24 hours. Delipidation of LPS or deletion of Toll-like receptor 4 in mice abolished these effects, whereas neutralization of TNF-α had little effect on LPS-induced tubular flow retention. Rapid intravenous fluid resuscitation within 6 hours improved the tubular flow rate only when accompanied by the dilation of obstructed proximal tubules with accumulated LPS. These findings suggest that LPS reduces the intratubular urine flow rate during early phases of endotoxemia through a Toll-like receptor 4-dependent mechanism, and that the efficacy of fluid resuscitation may depend on the response of tubules with LPS accumulation.

Chelation of dietary iron prevents iron accumulation and macrophage infiltration in the type I diabetic kidney. Eur J Pharmacol 2015; 756:85-91.

Abstract
We previously reported that the functional deletion of p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, in mice attenuated renal cell senescence in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic mice. In the present study, we investigated the effect of iron chelation on renal cell senescence and inflammation in the type 1 diabetic kidney. STZ-treated mice showed increase in iron accumulation, tubular cell senescence and macrophage infiltration at week 28 in the kidney. Administering deferasirox, which removes only dietary iron, significantly attenuated iron accumulation in proximal tubules and the number of infiltrating F4/80-positive cells without effecting blood glucose, hematocrit or hemoglobin levels. In contrast however, deferasirox did not influence renal cell senescence. The lack of p21 decreased the renal tubular iron accumulation and did not change tubular cell senescence. Interestingly, the STZ-treated animals showed an increase in p16, another cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. The results suggest that type 1 diabetes increases renal tubular iron accumulation and macrophage infiltration through a p21-dependent mechanism, and that the chelation of dietary iron attenuates these responses.
