Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious condition that causes intestinal dysfunction and can be fatal. Previous research has shown that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitors have a protective effect against this injury. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of TLR4 inhibitors, specifically cyclobenzaprine, ketotifen, amitriptyline, and naltrexone, in rats with intestinal (I/R) injury. Albino rats were divided into seven groups: vehicle control, sham-operated, I/R injury, I/R-cyclobenzaprine (10 mg/kg body weight), I/R-ketotifen (1 mg/kg body weight), I/R-amitriptyline (10 mg/kg body weight), and I/R-naltrexone (4 mg/kg body weight) groups. Anesthetized rats (urethane 1.8 g/kg) underwent 30 min of intestinal ischemia by occluding the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Intestinal tissue samples were collected to measure various parameters, including malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide synthase (NO), myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), TLR4, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), nuclear factor kappa bp65 (NF-ĸBP65), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), macrophages CD68, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88), and toll interleukin receptor-domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon β (TRIF). The use of TLR4 inhibitors significantly reduced MDA, MPO, and NO levels, while increasing SOD activity. Furthermore, it significantly decreased TLR4, ICAM-1, TNF-α, MCP-1, MYD88, and TRIF levels. These drugs also showed partial restoration of normal cellular structure with reduced inflammation. Additionally, there was a decrease in NF-ĸBP65 and macrophages CD68 staining compared to rats in the I/R groups. This study focuses on how TLR4 inhibitors enhance intestinal function and protect against intestinal (I/R) injury by influencing macrophages CD86 through (MYD88-TRIF) pathway, as well as their effects on oxidation and inflammation.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes distant organ dysfunction through yet unknown mechanisms, leading to multiorgan failure and death. The lungs are one of the most common extrarenal organs affected by AKI, and combined lung and kidney injury has a mortality as high as 60%-80%. One mechanism that has been implicated in lung injury after AKI involves molecules released from injured kidney cells (DAMPs, or damage-associated molecular patterns) that promote a noninfectious inflammatory response by binding to pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) constitutively expressed on the pulmonary endothelium. To date there are limited data investigating the role of PRRs and DAMPs in the pulmonary endothelial response to AKI. Understanding these mechanisms holds great promise for therapeutics aimed at ameliorating the devastating effects of AKI. In this study, we stimulate primary human microvascular endothelial cells with DAMPs derived from injured primary renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) as an ex-vivo model of lung injury following AKI. We show that DAMPs derived from injured RTECs cause activation of Toll-Like Receptor and NOD-Like Receptor signaling pathways as well as increase human primary pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) cytokine production, cell signaling activation, and permeability. We further show that cytokine production in HMVECs in response to DAMPs derived from RTECs is reduced by the inhibition of NOD1 and NOD2, which may have implications for future therapeutics. This paper adds to our understanding of PRR expression and function in pulmonary HMVECs and provides a foundation for future work aimed at developing therapeutic strategies to prevent lung injury following AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury and respiratory failure that requires mechanical ventilation are both common complications of critical illnesses. Failure of either of these organ systems also increases the risk of failure to the other. As a result, there is a high incidence of patients with concomitant acute kidney injury and the need for mechanical ventilation, which has a devasting impact on intensive care unit outcomes, including mortality. Despite decades of research into the mechanisms of ventilator-lung-kidney interactions, several gaps in knowledge remain and current treatment strategies are primarily supportive. In this review, we outline our current understanding of the mechanisms of acute kidney injury due to mechanical ventilation including a discussion of; 1) The impact of mechanical ventilation on renal perfusion, 2) activation of neurohormonal pathways by positive pressure ventilation, and 3) the role of inflammatory mediators released during ventilator induced lung injury. We also provide a review of the mechanisms by which acute kidney injury increases the risk of respiratory failure. Next, we outline a summary of the current therapeutic approach to preventing lung and kidney injury in the critically ill, including fluid and vasopressor management, ventilator strategies, and treatment of acute kidney injury. Finally, we conclude with a discussion outlining opportunities for novel investigations that may provide a rationale for new treatment approaches.

Abstract
The homeostasis and health of an organism depend on the coordinated interaction of specialized organs, which is regulated by interorgan communication networks of circulating soluble molecules and neuronal connections. Many diseases that seemingly affect one primary organ are really multiorgan diseases, with substantial secondary remote organ complications that underlie a large part of their morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in critically ill patients with multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality, particularly when it occurs together with respiratory failure. Inflammatory lung lesions in patients with kidney failure that could be distinguished from pulmonary oedema due to volume overload were first reported in the 1930s, but have been largely overlooked in clinical settings. A series of studies over the past two decades have elucidated acute and chronic kidney-lung and lung-kidney interorgan communication networks involving various circulating inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, metabolites, uraemic toxins, immune cells and neuro-immune pathways. Further investigations are warranted to understand these clinical entities of high morbidity and mortality, and to develop effective treatments.

Abstract
INSTRUCTION High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that reportedly causes kidney injury and other organ damage in rodent acute kidney injury (AKI) models. However, it remains unclear whether HMGB1 is associated with clinical AKI and related outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the association with HMGB1 and prognosis of AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS AKI patients treated with CRRT in our intensive care unit were enrolled consecutively during 2013-2016. Plasma HMGB1 was measured on initiation. Classic initiation was defined as presenting at least one of the following conventional indications: hyperkalemia (K ≥6.5 mEq/L), severe acidosis (pH <7.15), uremia (UN >100 mg/dL), and diuretics-resistant pulmonary edema. Early initiation was defined as presenting no conventional indications. The primary outcome was defined as 90-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 177 AKI patients were enrolled in this study. HMGB1 was significantly associated with the primary outcome (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04-1.08). When the patients were divided into two-by-two groups by the timing of CRRT initiation and the HMBG1 cutoff value obtained by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis, the high HMGB1 group (>10 ng/mL) with classic initiation was significantly associated with the primary outcome compared with the others, even after adjusting for other factors including the nonrenal serial organ failure assessment (SOFA) score. CONCLUSION HMGB1 was associated with 90-day mortality in AKI patients requiring CRRT. Notably, the highest mortality was observed in the high HMGB1 group with classic initiation. These findings suggest that CRRT should be considered for AKI patients with high HMGB1, regardless of the conventional indications.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in about half of critically ill patients and associates with high in-hospital mortality, increased long-term mortality post-discharge and subsequent progression to chronic kidney disease. Numerous clinical studies have shown that AKI is often complicated by dysfunction of distant organs, which is a cause of the high mortality associated with AKI. Experimental studies have elucidated many mechanisms of AKI-induced distant organ injury, which include inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress and immune responses. This review will provide an update on evidence of organ crosstalk and potential therapeutics for AKI-induced organ injuries, and present the new concept of a systemic organ network to balance homeostasis and inflammation that goes beyond kidney-crosstalk with a single distant organ.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a human coronavirus (HCoV) that has created a pandemic situation worldwide as COVID-19. This virus can invade human cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor-based mechanisms, affecting the human respiratory tract. However, several reports of neurological symptoms suggest a neuroinvasive development of coronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 can damage the brain via several routes, along with direct neural cell infection with the coronavirus. The chronic inflammatory reactions surge the brain with proinflammatory elements, damaging the neural cells, causing brain ischemia associated with other health issues. SARS-CoV-2 exhibited neuropsychiatric and neurological manifestations, including cognitive impairment, depression, dizziness, delirium, and disturbed sleep. These symptoms show nervous tissue damage that enhances the occurrence of neurodegenerative disorders and aids dementia. SARS-CoV-2 has been seen in brain necropsy and isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of COVID-19 patients. The associated inflammatory reaction in some COVID-19 patients has increased proinflammatory cytokines, which have been investigated as a prognostic factor. Therefore, the immunogenic changes observed in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients include their pathogenetic role. Inflammatory events have been an important pathophysiological feature of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The neuroinflammation observed in AD has exacerbated the Aβ burden and tau hyperphosphorylation. The resident microglia and other immune cells are responsible for the enhanced burden of Aβ and subsequently mediate tau phosphorylation and ultimately disease progression. Similarly, neuroinflammation also plays a key role in the progression of PD. Several studies have demonstrated an interplay between neuroinflammation and pathogenic mechanisms of PD. The dynamic proinflammation stage guides the accumulation of α-synuclein and neurodegenerative progression. Besides, few viruses may have a role as stimulators and generate a cross-autoimmune response for α-synuclein. Hence, neurological complications in patients suffering from COVID-19 cannot be ruled out. In this review article, our primary focus is on discussing the neuroinvasive effect of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, its impact on the blood-brain barrier, and ultimately its impact on the people affected with neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Abstract
Although sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) have a bidirectional interplay, the pathophysiological mechanisms between AKI and sepsis are not clarified and worthy of a comprehensive and updated review. The primary pathophysiology of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) includes inflammatory cascade, macrovascular and microvascular dysfunction, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. The pathophysiology of sepsis following AKI contains fluid overload, hyperinflammatory state, immunosuppression, and infection associated with kidney replacement therapy and catheter cannulation. The preventive strategies for SA-AKI are non-specific, mainly focusing on infection control and preventing further kidney insults. On the other hand, the preventive strategies for sepsis following AKI might focus on decreasing some metabolites, cytokines, or molecules harmful to our immunity, supplementing vitamin D3 for its immunomodulation effect, and avoiding fluid overload and unnecessary catheter cannulation. To date, several limitations persistently prohibit the understanding of the bidirectional pathophysiologies. Conducting studies, such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, to investigate human kidney tissue and establishing parameters or scores better to determine the occurrence timing of sepsis and AKI and the definition of SA-AKI might be the prospects to unveil the mystery and improve the prognoses of AKI patients.

Abstract
The innate immune system is the first line of defense against invading pathogens or sterile injuries. Pattern recognition receptors (PRR) sense molecules released from inflamed or damaged cells, or foreign molecules resulting from invading pathogens. PRRs can in turn induce inflammatory responses, comprising the generation of cytokines or chemokines, which further induce immune cell recruitment. Neutrophils represent an essential factor in the early immune response and fulfill numerous tasks to fight infection or heal injuries. The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is part of it and was originally attributed to the capture and elimination of pathogens. In the last decade studies revealed a detrimental role of NETs during several diseases, often correlated with an exaggerated immune response. Overwhelming inflammation in single organs can induce remote organ damage, thereby further perpetuating release of inflammatory molecules. Here, we review recent findings regarding damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which are able to induce NET formation, as well as NET components known to act as DAMPs, generating a putative fatal circle of inflammation contributing to organ damage and sequentially occurring remote organ injury.

Abstract
Influx of activated neutrophils into the lungs is the histopathologic hallmark of acute lung injury (ALI) after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Neutrophils can release DNA and granular proteins to form cytotoxic neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which promotes bystander tissue injury. However, whether NETs are responsible for the remote ALI after intestinal I/R and the mechanisms underlying the dissemination of harmful gut-derived mediators to the lungs are unknown. In the C57BL/6J mouse intestinal I/R model, DNase I-mediated degradation and protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) inhibitor-mediated inhibition of NET treatments reduced NET formation, tissue inflammation, and pathological injury in the lung. High-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) blocking prevented NET formation and protected against tissue inflammation, as well as reduced cell apoptosis and improved survival rate. Moreover, recombinant human HMGB1 administration further drives NETs and concurrent tissue toxic injury, which in turn can be reversed by neutrophil deletion via anti-Ly6G Ab i.p. injection. Furthermore, global MyD88 deficiency regulated NET formation and alleviated the development of ALI induced by intestinal I/R. Thus, HMGB1 released from necroptotic enterocytes caused ALI after intestinal I/R by inducing NET formation. Targeting NETosis and the HMGB1 pathway might extend effective therapeutic strategies to minimize intestinal I/R-induced ALI.

Abstract
Preclinical models and emerging translational data suggest that acute kidney injury (AKI) has far reaching effects on all other major organ systems in the body. Common in critically ill children and adults, AKI is independently associated with worse short and long term morbidity, as well as mortality, in these vulnerable populations. Evidence exists in adult populations regarding the impact AKI has on life course. Recently, non-renal organ effects of AKI have been highlighted in pediatric AKI survivors. Given the unique pediatric considerations related to somatic growth and neurodevelopmental consequences, pediatric AKI has the potential to fundamentally alter life course outcomes. In this article, we highlight the challenging and complex interplay between AKI and the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, growth, functional status, and longitudinal outcomes. Specifically, we discuss the biologic basis for how AKI may contribute to neurologic injury and neurodevelopment, cardiac dysfunction, acute lung injury, immunoparalysis and increased risk of infections, diminished somatic growth, worsened functional status and health related quality of life, and finally the impact on young adult health and life course outcomes.

Herrlich A. Interorgan crosstalk mechanisms in disease: the case of acute kidney injury-induced remote lung injury. FEBS Lett 2021; 596:620-637.

Abstract
Homeostasis and health of multicellular organisms with multiple organs depends on interorgan communication. Tissue injury in one organ disturbs this homeostasis and can lead to disease in multiple organs, or multiorgan failure. Many routes of interorgan crosstalk during homeostasis are relatively well known, but interorgan crosstalk in disease still lacks understanding. In particular, how tissue injury in one organ can drive injury at remote sites and trigger multiorgan failure with high mortality is poorly understood. As examples, acute kidney injury can trigger acute lung injury and cardiovascular dysfunction; pneumonia, sepsis or liver failure conversely can cause kidney failure; lung transplantation very frequently triggers acute kidney injury. Mechanistically, interorgan crosstalk after tissue injury could involve soluble mediators and their target receptors, cellular mediators, in particular immune cells, as well as newly identified neuro-immune connections. In this review, I will focus the discussion of deleterious interorgan crosstalk and its mechanistic concepts on one example, acute kidney injury-induced remote lung injury.

Abstract
The contemporary evolution of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak from the Wuhan, China, with a high rate of transmission will act the global medical emergency with immense morbidity and mortality rate across the world. The cell entry of COVID-19 via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE-2 receptor) will damage the respiratory system by the cytopathic effect induced by replication of the virus genome in the host and respond respiratory failure with an elevation of cytokine factor-like interleukin (IL) IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), etc. However, the lung-kidney cross talk will evidence the activation of molecular mechanisms from pro-inflammatory cytokines and concerned with kidney damage, though the elevated rate of ACE-2 receptor in the kidney will enhance the possibility of mortality with consideration of acute kidney injury. This review provides relevant information which suggests the rate of mortality in COVID-19 patient associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) which lacks critical monitoring of kidney function with a clinical consideration of intervention to avoid kidney damage in the initial stage of the disease.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for mortality in hospitalized patients. AKI syndrome leads to fluid overload, electrolyte and acid-base disturbances, immunoparalysis, and propagates multiple organ dysfunction through organ "crosstalk". Preclinical models suggest AKI causes acute lung injury (ALI), and conversely, mechanical ventilation and ALI cause AKI. In the clinical setting, respiratory complications are a key driver of increased mortality in patients with AKI, highlighting the bidirectional relationship. This article highlights the challenging and complex interactions between the lung and kidney in critically ill patients with AKI and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and global implications of AKI. We discuss disease-specific molecular mediators and inflammatory pathways involved in organ crosstalk in the AKI-ARDS construct, and highlight the reciprocal hemodynamic effects of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and central venous pressure (CVP) leading to renal hypoperfusion and pulmonary edema associated with fluid overload and increased right ventricular afterload. Finally, we discuss the notion of different ARDS "phenotypes" and the response to fluid overload, suggesting differential organ crosstalk in specific pathological states. While the directionality of effect remains challenging to distinguish at the bedside due to lag in diagnosis with conventional renal function markers and lack of tangible damage markers, this review provides a paradigm for understanding kidney-lung interactions in the critically ill patient.

Abstract
Complication in acute kidney injury (AKI) is significantly associated with developing acute respiratory failure (ARF), while ARF is one of the most important risks for AKI. These data suggest AKI and ARF may synergistically worsen the outcomes of critically ill patients and these organ injuries may not occur independently. Organ crosstalk between the kidney and the lung has been investigated by using animal models so far. This review will focus on innate immune response and neutrophil activation among the mechanisms that contribute to this organ crosstalk. AKI increased the blood level of an inflammatory mediator in high-mobility group box 1, which induces an innate immune reaction via toll-like receptor 4. The remarkable infiltration of neutrophils to the lung was observed in animal AKI models. IL-6 and IL-8 have been demonstrated to contribute to pulmonary neutrophil activation in AKI. In addition, the formation of a neutrophil extracellular trap was also observed in the lung after the exposure of renal ischemia reperfusion in the animal model. Further investigation is necessary to determine whether targeting innate immune response and neutrophil activation will be useful for developing new therapeutics that could improve multiple organ failure in critically ill patients.

Abstract
The mortality of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains high due to AKI associated-lung injury. An effective strategy for preventing both AKI and AKI-associated lung injury is urgently needed. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx) is a redox-active protein that possesses anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties including modulation of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), but its short half-life limits its clinical application. Therefore, we examined the preventive effect of a long-acting Trx, which is a fusion protein of albumin and Trx (HSA-Trx), against AKI and AKI-associated lung injury. Recombinant HSA-Trx was expressed using a Pichia expression system. AKI-induced lung injury mice were generated by bilateral renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). HSA-Trx administration attenuated renal IRI and its-associated lung injury. Both renal and pulmonary oxidative stress were suppressed by HSA-Trx. Moreover, HSA-Trx inhibited elevations of plasma IL-6 and TNF-α level, and suppressed IL-6–CXCL1/2-mediated neutrophil infiltration into lung and TNF-α-mediated pulmonary apoptosis. Additionally, HSA-Trx suppressed renal IRI-induced MIF expression in kidney and lung. Administration of HSA-Trx resulted in a significant increase in the survival rate of renal IRI mice. Collectively, HSA-Trx could have therapeutic utility in preventing both AKI and AKI-associated lung injury as a consequence of its systemic and sustained multiple biological action.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a threatening medical condition associated with poor outcomes at different settings. The development of standardized diagnostic criteria and new biomarkers addressed significant clinical impacts of AKI and the need for an early AKI detection, respectively. There have been some breakthroughs in understanding the pathogenesis of AKI through basic research; however, treatments against AKI aside from renal replacement therapy (RRT) have not shown adequate successful results. Biomarkers that could identify good responders to certain treatment are expected to facilitate translation of basic research findings. Most patients with severe AKI treated with RRT died due to multiple-organ failure, not renal dysfunction. Hence, it is essential to identify other organ dysfunctions induced by AKI as organ crosstalk. Also, a multidisciplinary approach of critical care nephrology is needed to evaluate a complex organ crosstalk in AKI. For disruptive innovation for AKI, we further explore these new aspects of AKI, which previously were considered outside the scope of nephrology.

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells and human cord blood mononuclear cells protect against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in rat models. Exp Ther Med 2020; 20:145.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are a promising tool to attenuate cisplatin (CP)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). However, whether the transplantation of human cord blood mononuclear cells (hCBMNCs) exhibits similar protective effects and their potential underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear. The present study aimed to determine the protective effects of hUCMSCs and hCBMNCs transplantation therapies on an established CP-induced rat model and explore their underlying mechanisms of action. A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats, selected based on body weight, were randomly assigned into 4 groups: i) normal control; ii) model (CP); iii) hCBMNCs (CP + hCBMNCs); and iv) hUCMSCs (CP + hUCMSCs). hUCMSCs (2.0x106 cells) and hCBMNCs (2.0x106 cells) were injected into the femoral vein of rats 24 h after CP (8 mg/kg) treatment. To determine the effects of hCBMNCs and hUCMSCs on CP-induced rats, renal function assessment and histological evaluations were performed. Expression levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and the ratio of Bax/Bcl2 in renal tissues were detected to elucidate their underlying molecular mechanisms of action. The results demonstrated that transplantation of hUCMSCs and hCBMNCs significantly improved renal function in CP-induced AKI rats, as evidenced by the enhancement of renal morphology; decreased concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine; and a lower percentage of apoptotic renal tubular cells. The expression of HMGB1 and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly reduced in the hUCMSCs and hCBMNCs groups compared with CP group. In conclusion, the present study indicated that hCBMNCs exert similar protective effects to hUCMSCs on CP-induced AKI. hUCMSCs and hCBMNCs protect against CP-induced AKI by suppressing HMGB1 expression and preventing cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects from 20% to 50% of cirrhotic patients, and the one-month mortality rate is 60%. The main cause of AKI is bacterial infection, which worsens circulatory dysfunction through the release of HMGB1 and IL-6. Objectives To evaluate HMGB1 and IL-6 as biomarkers of morbidity/mortality. Methods Prospective, observational study of 25 hospitalised cirrhotic patients with AKI. Clinical and laboratory data were collected at the time of diagnosis of AKI, including serum HMGB1 and IL-6. Results The mean age was 55 years; 70% were male. Infections accounted for 13 cases. The 30-day and three-month mortality rates were 17.4% and 30.4%, respectively. HMGB1 levels were lower in survivors than in nonsurvivors at 30 days (1174.2 pg/mL versus 3338.5 pg/mL, p = 0.035), but not at three months (1540 pg/mL versus 2352 pg/mL, p = 0.243). Serum IL-6 levels were 43.3 pg/mL versus 153.3 pg/mL (p = 0.061) at 30 days and 35.8 pg/mL versus 87.9 pg/mL (p = 0.071) at three months, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for HMGB1 was 0.842 and 0.657, and that for IL-6 was 0.803 and 0.743 for discriminating nonsurvivors at 30 days and three months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, no biomarker was independently associated with mortality. Conclusion HMGB1 levels were associated with decreased survival in cirrhotics. Larger studies are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
Physical trauma can affect any individual and is globally accountable for more than one in every ten deaths. Although direct severe kidney trauma is relatively infrequent, extrarenal tissue trauma frequently results in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Various causes, including haemorrhagic shock, rhabdomyolysis, use of nephrotoxic drugs and infectious complications, can trigger and exacerbate trauma-related AKI (TRAKI), particularly in the presence of pre-existing or trauma-specific risk factors. Injured, hypoxic and ischaemic tissues expose the organism to damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns, and oxidative stress, all of which initiate a complex immunopathophysiological response that results in macrocirculatory and microcirculatory disturbances in the kidney, and functional impairment. The simultaneous activation of components of innate immunity, including leukocytes, coagulation factors and complement proteins, drives kidney inflammation, glomerular and tubular damage, and breakdown of the blood-urine barrier. This immune response is also an integral part of the intense post-trauma crosstalk between the kidneys, the nervous system and other organs, which aggravates multi-organ dysfunction. Necessary lifesaving procedures used in trauma management might have ambivalent effects as they stabilize injured tissue and organs while simultaneously exacerbating kidney injury. Consequently, only a small number of pathophysiological and immunomodulatory therapeutic targets for TRAKI prevention have been proposed and evaluated.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes glucose and protein metabolism abnormalities that result in muscle wasting, thereby affecting the long-term prognosis of critical illness survivors. Here, we examined whether early intervention with treadmill exercise and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) can prevent AKI-related muscle wasting and reduced physical performance in mice. Unilateral 15 min ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced in contralateral nephrectomized mice, and muscle histological and physiological changes were assessed and compared with those of pair-fed control mice, since AKI causes severe anorexia. Mice exercised for 30 min each day and received oral BCAA for 7 days after AKI insult. By day 7, ischemic AKI significantly decreased wet weight, myofiber cross-sectional area, and central mitochondrial volume density of the anterior tibialis muscle, and significantly reduced maximal exercise time. Regular exercise and BCAA prevented AKI-related muscle wasting and low physical performance by suppressing myostatin and atrogin-1 mRNA upregulation, and restoring reduced phosphorylated Akt and PGC-1α mRNA expression in the muscle. Ischemic AKI induces muscle wasting by accelerating muscle protein degradation and reducing protein synthesis; however, we found that regular exercise and BCAA prevented AKI-related muscle wasting without worsening kidney damage, suggesting that early rehabilitation with nutritional support could prevent AKI-related muscle wasting.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicated by acute lung injury has a detrimental effect on mortality among critically ill patients. Recently, a renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model suggested the involvement of histones and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the development of distant lung injury after renal IR. Given that recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) has anti-inflammatory roles by binding to circulating histones, we aimed to clarify its effect on distant lung injury induced by AKI in a murine bilateral renal IR model. Both pretreatment and delayed treatment with rTM significantly decreased pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity, but they did not affect renal dysfunction at 24 h after renal IR. Additionally, rTM mitigated the renal IR-augmented expression of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and keratinocyte-derived chemokine), and vascular leakage, as well as the degree of lung damage. Intense histone accumulation and active NET formation occurred in both the kidneys and the lungs; however, rTM significantly decreased the histone and NET accumulation only in the lungs. Administration of rTM may have protective impact on the lungs after renal IR by blocking histone and NET accumulation in the lungs, although no protection was observed in the kidneys. Treatment with rTM may be an adjuvant strategy to attenuate distant lung injury complicating AKI.

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
Under physiological states, the nervous system and the kidneys communicate with each other to maintain normal body homeostasis. However, pathological states disrupt this interaction as seen in hypertension, and kidney damage can cause impaired renorenal reflex and sodium handling. In acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), damaged kidneys can have a detrimental effect on the central nervous system. CKD is an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular disease and cognitive impairment, and many factors, including retention of uremic toxins and phosphate, have been proposed as CKD-specific factors responsible for structural and functional cerebral changes in patients with CKD. However, more studies are needed to determine the precise pathogenesis. Epidemiological studies have shown that AKI is associated with a subsequent risk for developing stroke and dementia. However, recent animal studies have shown that the renal nerve contributes to kidney inflammation and fibrosis, whereas activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which involves the vagus nerve, the splenic nerve, and immune cells in the spleen, has a significant renoprotective effect. Therefore, elucidating mechanisms of communication between the nervous system and the kidney enables us not only to develop new strategies to ameliorate neurological conditions associated with kidney disease but also to design safe and effective clinical interventions for kidney disease, using the neural and neuroimmune control of kidney injury and disease.

Editor’s Perspective
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
In multiple-organ dysfunction, an injury affecting one organ remotely impacts others, and the injured organs synergistically worsen outcomes. Recently, several mediators, including extracellular histones and neutrophil extracellular traps, were identified as contributors to distant organ damage. This study aimed to elucidate whether these mediators play a crucial role in remote organ damage induced by intestinal ischemia–reperfusion. This study also aimed to evaluate the protective effects of recombinant thrombomodulin, which has been reported to neutralize extracellular histones, on multiple-organ dysfunction after intestinal ischemia–reperfusion.
Methods
Intestinal ischemia was induced in male C57BL/6J mice via clamping of the superior mesenteric artery. Recombinant thrombomodulin (10 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally with the initiation of reperfusion. The mice were subjected to a survival analysis, histologic injury scoring, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of tumor necrosis factor-α and keratinocyte-derived chemokine expression, Evans blue dye vascular permeability assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis of histones in the jejunum, liver, lung, and kidney after 30- or 45-min ischemia. Neutrophil extracellular trap formation was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining.
Results
Recombinant thrombomodulin yielded statistically significant improvements in survival after 45-min ischemia (ischemia–reperfusion without vs. with 10 mg/kg recombinant thrombomodulin: 0% vs. 33%, n = 21 per group, P = 0.001). Recombinant thrombomodulin reduced the histologic injury score, expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and keratinocyte-derived chemokine, and extravasation of Evans blue dye, which were augmented by 30-min ischemia–reperfusion, in the liver, but not in the intestine. Accumulated histones and neutrophil extracellular traps were found in the livers and intestines of 30-min ischemia–reperfusion–injured mice. Recombinant thrombomodulin reduced these accumulations only in the liver.
Conclusions
Recombinant thrombomodulin improved the survival of male mice with intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury. These findings suggest that histone and neutrophil extracellular trap accumulation exacerbate remote liver injury after intestinal ischemia–reperfusion. Recombinant thrombomodulin may suppress these accumulations and attenuate liver injury.

Abstract
The immune system has a central role in eliminating detrimental factors, by frequently launching inflammatory responses towards pathogen infection and inner danger signal outbreak. Acute and chronic inflammatory responses are critical determinants for consequences of kidney diseases, in which inflammasomes were inevitably involved. Inflammasomes are closely linked to many kidney diseases such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney diseases. Inflammasomes are macromolecules consisting of multiple proteins, and their formation initiates the cleavage of procaspase-1, resulting in the activation of gasdermin D as well as the maturation and release of interleukin-1β and IL-18, leading to pyroptosis. Here, we discuss the mechanism in which inflammasomes occur, as well as their roles in inflammatory kidney diseases, in order to shed light for discovering new therapeutical targets for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory kidney diseases and consequent end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
During the past decade the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been recognized as a unique modality of pathogen fixation (sticky extracellular chromatin) and pathogen killing (cytotoxic histones and proteases) during host defense, as well as collateral tissue damage. Numerous other triggers induce NET formation in multiple forms of sterile inflammation, including thrombosis, gout, obstruction of draining ducts, and trauma. Whether neutrophils always die along with NET release, and if they do die, how, remains under study and is most likely context dependent. In certain settings, neutrophils release NETs while undergoing regulated necrosis-for example, necroptosis. NETs and extracellular traps (ETs) released by macrophages also have been well documented in kidney diseases-for example, in various forms of acute kidney injury. Histones released from ETs and other sources are cytotoxic and elicit inflammation, contributing to necroinflammation of the early-injury phase of acute tubular necrosis in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related renal vasculitis, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, lupus nephritis, and thrombotic microangiopathies. Finally, acute kidney injury-related releases of dying renal cells or ETs promote remote organ injuries-for example, acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this review, we summarize what is known about the release of ETs from neutrophils and macrophages in the kidney, the available experimental evidence, and ongoing discussions in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), which is a nuclear protein, was reported to enhance the allogeneic responses in transplantation, the effect of HMGB1 on bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is unknown. METHODS A murine heterotopic tracheal transplantation model was used. Protein concentrations of HMGB1, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-10, and IL-17 were analyzed in the isografts, allografts, controls, and HMGB1-neutralizing antibody administered allografts (n = 6; Days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28). The luminal fibrous occlusion was analyzed (n = 6; Days 7, 14, 21, and 28). Infiltrating CD8 and CD4 T lymphocytes around the allografts and serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 were evaluated (n = 6; Day 7). RESULTS The HMGB1 levels in the allografts were significantly increased compared with the isografts at Day 7. HMGB1 blockade did not change the IL-17 level, but decreased the IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio in the early phase (Days 5 and 7) and significantly improved the fibrous occlusion in the late phase (Days 14, 21, and 28). HMGB1 blockade significantly suppressed the CD8 T lymphocytes infiltration and decreased the serum IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio compared with the control at Day 7. CONCLUSIONS HMGB1 may be a trigger of the BOS pathogenesis and candidate target for the treatment of the disease.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Dysfunction of other organs is an important cause of poor outcomes from AKI. Ample clinical and epidemiologic data show that AKI is associated with distant organ dysfunction in lung, heart, brain, and liver. Recent advancements in basic and clinical research have demonstrated physiologic and molecular mechanisms of distant organ interactions in AKI, including leukocyte activation and infiltration, generation of soluble factors such as inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, and endothelial injury. Oxidative stress and production of reactive oxygen species, as well as dysregulation of cell death in distant organs, are also important mechanism of AKI-induced distant organ dysfunction. This review updates recent clinical and experimental findings on organ crosstalk in AKI and highlights potential molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets to improve clinical outcomes during AKI.

Abstract
Sepsis is a condition caused by infection followed by unregulated inflammatory response which may lead to the organ dysfunction. During such condition, over-production of oxidants is one of the factors which contribute cellular toxicity and ultimately organ failure and mortality. Antioxidants having free radicals scavenging activity exert protective role in various diseases. This study has been designed to evaluate the levels of oxidative and antioxidative activity in sepsis patients and their correlation with the severity of the sepsis. A total of 100 sepsis patients and 50 healthy controls subjects were enrolled in this study from the period October 2016 to June 2017. The investigation included measurements of oxidative enzyme, myeloperoxidase (MPO), antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) and catalase activity (CAT) and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-8 and IFN-γ). Furthermore, the level of these activities was correlated with severity of sepsis. Augmented levels of oxidants were found in sepsis as demonstrated by DMPO nitrone adduct formation and plasma MPO level activity (1.37 ± 0.51 in sepsis vs 0.405 ± 0.16 in control subjects). Cytokines were also found to be increased in sepsis patients. However, plasma SOD and CAT activities were significantly attenuated (P < .001) in the sepsis patients compared with controls subjects. Moreover, inverse relation between antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) and organ failure assessment (SOFA), physiological score (APACHE II), organ toxicity specific markers have been observed as demonstrated by Pearson's correlation coefficient. This study suggests that imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant plays key role in the severity of sepsis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and dexmedetomidine (DEX) pretreatment on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the potential mechanism underlying the effects. LPS was instilled into the trachea of BALB/c mice to induce the ALI model. Solutions of 3-MA or DEX were intravenously injected into the mice 1 h later to establish the 3-MA and DEX groups. On days 1, 3 and 5 after the injections, arterial blood gas analysis was conducted, and the lung wet-dry weight ratio (W/D) was determined. In addition, albumin, cytokine and myeloperoxidase (MPO) contents were evaluated using ELISAs, and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was conducted. Furthermore, western blot analysis was used to evaluate the protein expression levels of microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-I, LC3-II, autophagy protein 5 (ATG5), Rab7 and lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Treatment with 3-MA or DEX increased the blood partial pressure of oxygen level compared with that in the model group, and restored the W/D and blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide to normal levels. The content of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and albumin in bronchoalveolar fluid and MPO in lung tissue was significantly decreased in the 3-MA and DEX groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). H&E staining demonstrated that 3-MA and DEX each reversed the ALI. In addition, 3-MA and DEX reduced the protein expression levels of LC3-I, LC3-II, ATG5, Rab7 and LAMP1. Also, RT-qPCR results revealed that NF-κB and TLR4 mRNA expression levels were clearly decreased in the 3-MA and DEX groups compared with the model group. In conclusion, LPS-induced ALI was effectively reversed by treatment with 3-MA and DEX through the reduction of inflammation and autophagy and inhibition of the TLR4-NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
The kidneys have a close functional relationship with other organs especially the lungs. This connection makes the kidney and the lungs as the most organs involved in the multi-organ failure syndrome. The combination of acute lung injury (ALI) and renal failure results a great clinical significance of 80% mortality rate. Acute kidney injury (AKI) leads to an increase in circulating cytokines, chemokines, activated innate immune cells and diffuse of these agents to other organs such as the lungs. These factors initiate pathological cascade that ultimately leads to ALI and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We comprehensively searched the English medical literature focusing on AKI, ALI, organs cross talk, renal failure, multi organ failure and ARDS using the databases of PubMed, Embase, Scopus and directory of open access journals. In this narrative review, we summarized the pathophysiology and treatment of respiratory distress syndrome following AKI. This review promotes knowledge of the link between kidney and lung with mechanisms, diagnostic biomarkers, and treatment involved ARDS induced by AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The measurement of urinary biomarkers during ex vivo normothermic kidney perfusion (EVKP) may aid in the assessment of a kidney prior to transplantation. This study measured levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) during EVKP in a series of discarded human kidneys. METHODS Fifty-six kidneys from deceased donors were recruited into the study. Each kidney underwent 60 minutes of EVKP and was scored based on the macroscopic appearance, renal blood flow and urine output. The scores ranged from 1 (least injury) to 5 (most severe). Levels of oxygen consumption, extraction, creatinine fall and fractional excretion of sodium were measured during perfusion. Urinary levels of NGAL, KIM-1, and ET-1 were measured after EVKP. RESULTS Thirty-eight kidneys had an EVKP score of 1 or 2, 8 a score of 3 and 10 a score of 4 or 5. During EVKP lower levels of oxygen consumption, higher oxygen extraction, a lower decrement of serum creatinine, and higher levels of NGAL and ET-1 were associated with a higher EVKP score (P < 0.05). These parameters were also associated with a raised creatinine level in the donor before organ retrieval. Levels of KIM-1 were not associated with the perfusion parameters (P = 0.649) or renal function in the donor (R = 0.02458: P = 0.271). CONCLUSIONS The measurement of urinary biomarkers, particularly NGAL in combination with functional perfusion parameters and the EVKP score provides an informative measure of kidney quality which may aid the decision to transplant the kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Polyethylenimine-coated polyacrylonitrile (AN69ST) membrane is expected to improve the outcomes of critically ill patients treated by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS Using a Japanese health insurance claim database, we identified adult patients receiving CRRT in intensive care units (ICUs) from April 2014 to October 2015. We used a multivariable logistic regression model to assess in-hospital mortality and Fine and Gray's proportional subhazards model to assess the ICU length of stay (ICU-LOS) accounting for the competing risks. RESULTS Of 2,469 ICU patients, 156 were treated by AN69ST membrane. Crude in-hospital mortality was 50.0% in the AN69ST group and 54.0% in the non-AN69ST group. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) of AN69ST membrane use for in-hospital mortality was 0.65 (95% CI 0.45-0.93). The use of AN69ST membrane was also independently associated with shorter ICU-LOS. CONCLUSION This retrospective observational study suggested that CRRT with AN69ST membrane might be associated with better in-hospital outcomes.

Abstract
Although dialysis has been used in the care of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) for over 50 years, very little is known about the potential benefits of uremic control on systemic complications of AKI. Since the mortality of AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) is greater than half in the intensive care unit, a better understanding of the potential of RRT to improve outcomes is urgently needed. Therefore, we sought to develop a technically feasible and reproducible model of RRT in a mouse model of AKI. Models of low- and high-dose peritoneal dialysis (PD) were developed and their effect on AKI, systemic inflammation, and lung injury after ischemic AKI was examined. High-dose PD had no effect on AKI, but effectively cleared serum IL-6, and dramatically reduced lung inflammation, while low-dose PD had no effect on any of these three outcomes. Both models of RRT using PD in AKI in mice reliably lowered urea in a dose-dependent fashion. Thus, use of these models of PD in mice with AKI has great potential to unravel the mechanisms by which RRT may improve the systemic complications that have led to increased mortality in AKI. In light of recent data demonstrating reduced serum IL-6 and improved outcomes with prophylactic PD in children, we believe that our results are highly clinically relevant.

Histones and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Enhance Tubular Necrosis and Remote Organ Injury in Ischemic AKI. J Am Soc Nephrol 2017; 28:1753-1768.

Abstract
Severe AKI is often associated with multiorgan dysfunction, but the mechanisms of this remote tissue injury are unknown. We hypothesized that renal necroinflammation releases cytotoxic molecules that may cause remote organ damage. In hypoxia-induced tubular epithelial cell necrosis in vitro, histone secretion from ischemic tubular cells primed neutrophils to form neutrophil extracellular traps. These traps induced tubular epithelial cell death and stimulated neutrophil extracellular trap formation in fresh neutrophils. In vivo, ischemia-reperfusion injury in the mouse kidney induced tubular necrosis, which preceded the expansion of localized and circulating neutrophil extracellular traps and the increased expression of inflammatory and injury-related genes. Pretreatment with inhibitors of neutrophil extracellular trap formation reduced kidney injury. Dual inhibition of neutrophil trap formation and tubular cell necrosis had an additive protective effect. Moreover, pretreatment with antihistone IgG suppressed ischemia-induced neutrophil extracellular trap formation and renal injury. Renal ischemic injury also increased the levels of circulating histones, and we detected neutrophil infiltration and TUNEL-positive cells in the lungs, liver, brain, and heart along with neutrophil extracellular trap accumulation in the lungs. Inhibition of neutrophil extracellular trap formation or of circulating histones reduced these effects as well. These data suggest that tubular necrosis and neutrophil extracellular trap formation accelerate kidney damage and remote organ dysfunction through cytokine and histone release and identify novel molecular targets to limit renal necroinflammation and multiorgan failure.

Abstract
In addition to their well-known role as the cellular mediator of thrombosis, numerous studies have identified key roles for platelets during various disease processes. Importantly, platelets play a critical role in the host immune response, directly interacting with, and eliminating pathogens, from the blood stream. In addition to pathogen clearance, platelets also contribute to leukocyte recruitment at sites of infection and inflammation, and modulate leukocyte activity. Platelet interaction with activated neutrophils is a potent inducer of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET). NETs consist of a diffuse, sticky web of extracellular DNA, nuclear and granular proteins, and serve to ensnare and kill pathogens. In addition to catching pathogens, the cytotoxic molecules and proteases on NETs have the potential to inflict significant tissue damage. Additionally, NET components have been suggested to be key activators of infection-induced coagulopathy. These critical roles, at the interface between hemostasis and immunity, highlight the need for balance in the platelet response; too little platelet activity results in bleeding and immune deficit, too much leads to tissue pathogenesis. In this review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of the role platelets play in inflammation, the link between platelets and NETs and the role platelets play in disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation mediates renal injury in regional ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) models generated by clamping renal pedicles. However, it remains unclear whether TLR4 is causal in the kidney injury following global I/R induced by cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The present study used wild-type (C3H/HeN) and TLR4-mutant (C3H/HeJ) mice to produce the CA/CPR model. CA was induced by injection of cold KCl and left untreated for different time periods. After resuscitation (72 h), the level of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr), as well as histological changes in renal tissue were assessed to evaluate the severity of acute kidney injury (AKI). The expression of TLR4, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and growth-regulated oncogene-β (GRO-β) in kidney tissues was detected. The results demonstrated that the levels of Scr and BUN increased significantly in C3H/HeN and C3H/HeJ mice after CPR. CPR also resulted in increased expression of TLR4, ICAM-1, GRO-β and MPO in a CA-duration dependent manner. However, there was decreased expression of ICAM-1, GRO-β and MPO in C3H/HeJ mice compared with that in C3H/HeN mice. C3H/HeJ mice were resistant to AKI as demonstrated by the minor changes in renal histology and function following CPR. In conclusion, mice suffered from AKI after successful CPR and severe AKI occurred in mice with prolonged CA duration. TLR4 and its downstream signaling events that promote neutrophil infiltration via ICAM-1 and GRO-β may be important in mediating inflammatory responses to renal injury after CPR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) induces acute lung injury (ALI) through releasing injurious mediators or impairing clearance of systemic factors. To determine the links between AKI and ALI, pulmonary and blood variables were evaluated following induction of AKI via different experimental models of bilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion (BIR: renal ischemia with uremia), unilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion (UIR: renal ischemia without uremia), bilateral nephrectomy (BNX: uremia without renal ischemia), and unilateral nephrectomy (UNX: without uremia and renal ischemia). METHODS Ninety male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups. Animals had 1-h bilateral or 2-h unilateral renal ischemia followed by 24-h reperfusion in the BIR and UIR groups, respectively, and 24-h period following bilateral or unilateral nephrectomy in the BNX and UNX groups, respectively. There were also sham and control groups with and without sham-operation, respectively. RESULTS Plasma malondialdehyde and nitric oxide were elevated by BIR more than UIR, but not changed by UNX and BNX. UIR slightly increased plasma creatinine, whereas BIR and BNX largely increased plasma creatinine, urea, K+ and osmolality and decreased arterial HCO3-, pH, and CO2. UNX and UIR did not affect lung, but BIR and BNX induced ALI with equal capillary leak and macrophages infiltration. However, there were more prominent lung edema and vascular congestion following BNX and more severe neutrophils infiltration and PaO2/FiO2 reduction following BIR. CONCLUSION Acutely accumulated systemic mediators following renal failure in the absence of kidneys vary from those due to combined renal failure with ischemic-reperfused kidneys and consequently they induce ALI with distinct characteristics.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Acute kidney injury (AKI) has a significant impact on the outcomes of critically ill patients, although no effective and specific treatment against AKI is currently available in the clinical setting. It is assumed that reactive oxygen species production by the mitochondria plays a crucial role in renal damage especially caused by cellular apoptosis. Mitochondrial injury in the heart is reported as an important determinant of myocardial contractility. Clinical epidemiological data indicate that remote organ effects induced by AKI, especially organ cross talk between the kidney and heart, might contribute to the poor outcome of AKI patients. RECENT ADVANCES Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) has recently been defined based on clinical observations that acute and chronic heart failure causes kidney injury and AKI and that chronic kidney disease worsens heart diseases. Possible pathways that connect these two organs have been suggested; however, the precise mechanisms are still unclarified. Mitochondrial injury in the kidney and heart has been shown as a crucial pathway of AKI and acute heart failure by several animal studies. CRITICAL ISSUES Clinical evidence clearly shows cardiorenal interactions in clinically ill patients, but evidence for distant organ effects of AKI on the heart is lacking. We recently found dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics caused by increased Drp1 expression and cellular apoptosis of the heart in an experimental AKI animal model of renal ischemia-reperfusion. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Precise mechanisms that induce cardiac mitochondrial injury in AKI remain unclarified. A recently suggested concept of mitochondrial hormesis may need to be considered in chronic cardiorenal interaction. Identifying the role of mitochondrial injury for CRS will enable the development of novel interventional approaches to reduce mortality associated with AKI. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 25, 200-207.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients treated in intensive care units. Renal replacement therapy (RRT)-requiring AKI occurs in approximately 5-10% patients in intensive care unit and their mortality rate is unacceptably high (50-60%), despite sufficient control of uremia using remarkably advanced modern RRT techniques. This suggests that there are unrecognized organ interactions following AKI that could worsen the outcomes. Cardiorenal syndrome has been defined based on clinical observations that acute and chronic heart failure causes kidney injury and AKI and that chronic kidney disease worsens heart diseases. Possible pathways that connect these 2 organs have been suggested; however, the precise mechanisms are yet to be clarified, particularly in AKI-induced cardiac dysfunction. This review focuses on acute cardiac dysfunction in the setting of AKI. A recent animal study demonstrated the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics caused by an increased dynamin-related protein 1 expression and cellular apoptosis of the heart in a renal ischemia reperfusion model. Although the precise mechanisms that induce cardiac mitochondrial injury in AKI remain unclear, cardiac mitochondria injury could be a novel candidate of drug targets against high mortality in severe AKI. © 2016 S.

Abstract
Innate immune response pathways play a critical role as the first line of defense. Initiation of an immune response requires sensors that can detect noxious stimuli within the cellular microenvironment. Inflammasomes are signaling platforms that are assembled in response to both microbe-specific and nonmicrobial antigens. Upon activation, proinflammatory cytokines are released to engage immune defenses and to trigger an inflammatory cell death referred to as pyroptosis. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge of the role of the inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. As crystal deposition in the kidney is a frequent cause of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in children, recent insights into mechanisms of inflammasome activation by renal crystals are highlighted. This may be of particular interest to pediatric patients and nephrologists in need of new therapeutic approaches. Lastly, current data findings that inflammasomes are not only of major importance in host defense but are also a key regulator of the intestinal microbiota and the progression of systemic diseases are reviewed.

Abstract
Kidney injury, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), has become very common in critically ill patients treated in ICUs. Many epidemiological studies have revealed significant associations of AKI and CKD with poor outcomes of high mortality and medical costs. Although many basic studies have clarified the possible mechanisms of sepsis and septic AKI, translation of the obtained findings to clinical settings has not been successful to date. No specific drug against human sepsis or AKI is currently available. Remarkable progress of dialysis techniques such as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has enabled control of “uremia” in hemodynamically unstable patients; however, dialysis-requiring septic AKI patients are still showing unacceptably high mortality of 60–80 %. Therefore, further investigations must be conducted to improve the outcome of sepsis and septic AKI. A possible target will be remote organ injury caused by AKI. Recent basic studies have identified interleukin-6 and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) as important mediators for acute lung injury induced by AKI. Another target is the disease pathway that is amplified by pre-existing CKD. Vascular endothelial growth factor and HMGB1 elevations in sepsis were demonstrated to be amplified by CKD in CKD-sepsis animal models. Understanding the role of kidney injury as an amplifier in sepsis and multiple organ failure might support the identification of new drug targets for sepsis and septic AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We assessed the survival benefit of polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX) in septic shock patients starting continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), who are known to have an increased rate of mortality. METHODS Adult patients in the Japanese diagnosis procedure combination database satisfying the following criteria were enrolled: hospitalized in 2007-2012; diagnosed as having sepsis; required noradrenaline and/or dopamine; and started CRRT in intensive care unit. Propensity scores for receiving PMX were created from patient and hospital characteristics. RESULTS Of 3,759 eligible patients, 1,068 received PMX. Propensity-score matching produced a matched cohort of 978 pairs. The 28-day mortality was 40.2% (393/978) in the PMX group and 46.8% (458/978) in the control group (p = 0.003). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between the use of PMX and decreased 28-day mortality (adjusted OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.62-0.91). CONCLUSION This large retrospective study suggests that septic shock patients starting CRRT may benefit from PMX.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients and subsequently worsens outcomes. Although many drugs to prevent and treat AKI have shown benefits in preclinical models, no specific agent has been shown to benefit AKI in humans. Moreover, despite remarkable advances in dialysis techniques that enable management of AKI in hemodynamically unstable patients with shock, dialysis-requiring severe AKI is still associated with an unacceptably high mortality rate. Thus, focusing only on kidney damage and loss of renal function has not been sufficient to improve outcomes of patients with AKI. Recent data from basic and clinical research have begun to elucidate complex organ interactions in AKI between kidney and distant organs, including heart, lung, spleen, brain, liver, and gut. This review serves to update the topic of organ cross talk in AKI and focuses on potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes during AKI-associated multiple organ failure.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with persistent low-grade inflammation and immunosuppression. In this study we tested the role of Toll-like receptor 4, the main receptor for endotoxin (LPS), in a mouse model of renal fibrosis and in a model of progressive CKD that better resembles the human disease. C3HeJ (TLR4 mutant) mice have a missense point mutation in the TLR4 gene, rendering the receptor nonfunctional. In a model of renal fibrosis after folic acid injection, TLR4 mutant mice developed less interstititial fibrosis in comparison to wild-type (WT) mice. Furthermore, 4 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy with continuous low-dose angiotensin II infusion, C3HeOuJ (TLR4 WT) mice developed progressive CKD with albuminuria, increased serum levels of BUN and creatinine, glomerulosclerosis, and interstitial fibrosis, whereas TLR4 mutant mice were significantly protected from CKD progression. TLR4 WT mice also developed low-grade systemic inflammation, splenocyte apoptosis and increased expression of the immune inhibitory receptor PD-1 in the spleen, which were not observed in TLR4 mutant mice. In vitro, endotoxin (LPS) directly upregulated NLRP3 inflammasome expression in renal epithelial cells via TLR4. In summary, TLR4 contributes to renal fibrosis and CKD progression, at least in part, via inflammasome activation in renal epithelial cells, and may also participate in the dysregulated immune response that is associated with CKD.

Abstract
AIM: To characterize high-mobility group protein 1-toll-like receptor 4 (HMGB1-TLR4) and downstream signaling pathways in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
METHODS: Forty specific-pathogen-free male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 8 per group): sham, control, anti-HMGB1, anti-myeloid differentiation gene 88 (MyD88), and anti-translocating-chain-associating membrane protein (TRIF) antibody groups. Vehicle with the control IgG antibody, anti-HMGB1, anti-MyD88, or anti-TRIF antibodies (all 1 mg/kg, 0.025%) were injected via the caudal vein 30 min prior to ischemia. After anesthetization, the abdominal wall was opened and the superior mesenteric artery was exposed, followed by 60 min mesenteric ischemia and then 60 min reperfusion. For the sham group, the abdominal wall was opened for 120 min without I/R. Levels of serum nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured, along with myeloperoxidase activity in the lung and liver. In addition,morphologic changes that occurred in the lung and intestinal tissues were evaluated. Levels of mRNA transcripts encoding HMGB1 and NF-κB were measured by real-time quantitative PCR, and levels of HMGB1 and NF-κB protein were measured by Western blot. Results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.
RESULTS: Blocking HMGB1, MyD88, and TRIF expression by injecting anti-HMGB1, anti-MyD88, or anti-TRIF antibodies prior to ischemia reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines in serum; NF-κB p65: 104.64 ± 11.89, 228.53 ± 24.85, 145.00 ± 33.63, 191.12 ± 13.22, and 183.73 ± 10.81 (P < 0.05); IL-6: 50.02 ± 6.33, 104.91 ± 31.18, 62.28 ± 6.73, 85.90 ± 17.37, and 78.14 ± 7.38 (P < 0.05); TNF-α, 43.79 ± 4.18, 70.81 ± 6.97, 52.76 ± 5.71, 63.19 ± 5.47, and 59.70 ± 4.63 (P < 0.05) for the sham, control, anti-HMGB1, anti-MyD88, and anti-TRIF groups, respectively (all in pg/mL).Antibodies also alleviated tissue injury in the lung and small intestine compared with the control group in the mouse intestinal I/R model. The administration of anti-HMGB1, anti-MyD88, and anti-TRIF antibodies markedly reduced damage caused by I/R, for which anti-HMGB1 antibody had the most obvious effect.
CONCLUSION: HMGB1 and its downstream signaling pathway play important roles in the mouse intestinal I/R injury, and the effect of the TRIF-dependent pathway is slightly greater.

Nair AR, Ebenezer PJ, Saini Y, Francis J. Angiotensin II-induced hypertensive renal inflammation is mediated through HMGB1-TLR4 signaling in rat tubulo-epithelial cells. Exp Cell Res 2015; 335:238-47. [PMID: 26033363 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2015.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2015] [Revised: 04/27/2015] [Accepted: 05/13/2015] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Angiotensin II is a vaso-constrictive peptide that regulates blood pressure homeostasis. Even though the inflammatory effects of AngII in renal pathophysiology have been studied, there still exists a paucity of data with regard to the mechanism of action of AngII-mediated kidney injury. The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanistic role of HMGB1-TLR4 signaling in AngII-induced inflammation in the kidney. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Rat tubular epithelial cells (NRK52E) were treated with AngII over a preset time-course. In another set of experiments, HMGB1 was neutralized and TLR4 was knocked down using small interfering RNA targeting TLR4. Cell extracts were subjected to RT-PCR, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and ELISA. KEY RESULTS AngII-induced inflammation in NRK52E cells increased gene and protein expression of TLR4, HMGB1 and key proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL1β). Pretreatment with Losartan (an AT1 receptor blocker) attenuated the AngII-induced expression of TLR4 and inflammatory cytokines. TLR4 silencing was used to elucidate the specific role played by TLR4 in AngII-induced inflammation. TLR4siRNA treatment in these cells significantly decreased the AngII-induced inflammatory effect. Consistent observations were made when the Ang II treated cells were pretreated with anti-HMGB1. Downstream activation of NFκB and rate of generation of ROS was also decreased on gene silencing of TLR4 and exposure to anti-HMGB1. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results indicate a key role for HMGB1-TLR4 signaling in AngII-mediated inflammation in the renal epithelial cells. Our data also reveal that AngII-induced effects could be alleviated by HMGB1-TLR4 inhibition, suggesting this pathway as a potential therapeutic target for hypertensive renal dysfunctions.
