Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent causes of organ failure encountered in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Because of its predisposition to occur in the most critically ill patients, it is not surprising to observe a high frequency of AKI in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, few studies have been carried out to assess the epidemiology of AKI in subgroups of ARDS patients using recommended KDIGO criteria. Moreover, the mechanisms involved in the physio-pathogenesis of AKI are still poorly understood, in particular the impact of mechanical ventilation on the kidneys. We carried out a review of the literature, focusing on the epidemiology and physiopathology of AKI in patients with ARDS admitted to the ICU. We addressed the importance of clinical management, focusing on mechanical ventilation for improving outcomes, on AKI. Finally, we also propose candidate treatment strategies and management perspectives. Our literature search showed that AKI is particularly common in ICU patients with ARDS. In association with the classic risk factors for AKI, such as comorbidities and iatrogeny, changes in mechanical ventilation parameters, which have been exclusively evaluated for their outcomes on respiratory function and death, must be considered carefully in terms of their impact on the short-term renal prognosis.

Abstract
There is a close, physiological, relationship between kidney and lung that begin in the fetal age, and is aimed to keep homeostatic balance in the body. From a pathological point of view, the kidneys could be damaged by inflammatory mediators or by immune-mediated factors linked to a primary lung disease or, conversely, it could be the kidney disease that causes lung damage. Non-immunological mechanisms are frequently involved in renal and pulmonary diseases, as observed in chronic conditions. This crosstalk have clinical and therapeutic consequences. This review aims to describe the pulmonary-renal link in physiology and in pathological conditions.

Abstract
Awareness of the multifaceted lung and kidney interactions in the critically ill has increased considerably. Cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema represent two entities of pulmonary edema and differ significantly in terms of alveolar fluid clearance. Acute lung injury describes the breakdown of normal lung architecture with development of a high-permeability noncardiogenic pulmonary edema resulting from an inflammation/oxidant-mediated injury to the alveolar-capillary barrier and downregulation of the epithelial active ion transport system. Acute kidney injury is the most common organ dysfunction in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. It may develop as a result of blood gas disturbances that compromise renal blood flow and renal compensatory mechanisms; pulmonary hypertension, which may aggravate renal impairment by causing renal congestion and tissue edema; and mechanical ventilation–induced alterations, including systemic release of mediators, all which promote end-organ cell injury. Acute kidney injury, on the other hand, may initiate and perpetuate lung injury resulting from fluid overload and the systemic release of mediators that promote increased pulmonary vascular permeability, lung inflammation, and apoptosis, and breakdown of the transepithelial electrolyte and water transport, ultimately leading to respiratory failure. It is hoped that an in-depth understanding of the factors influencing lung-kidney interactions will encourage physicians to explore and develop new strategies for the benefit of the patient. This chapter will:Review the pathophysiology of acute lung injury. Summarize the emerging understanding of lung-kidney cross-talk in the critically ill patient. Identify the mechanisms by which acute kidney injury may potentiate acute lung injury.

Abstract
Lung-protective ventilation (LPV) has become the cornerstone of management in patients with ARDS. A subset of patients is unable to tolerate LPV without significant CO2 elevation. In these patients, permissive hypercapnia is used. Although thought to be benign, it is becoming increasingly evident that elevated CO2 levels have significant physiological effects. In this narrative review, we highlight clinically relevant end-organ effects in both animal models and clinical studies. We also explore the association between elevated CO2, acute cor pulmonale, and ICU mortality. We conclude with a brief review of alternative therapies for CO2 management currently under investigation in patients with moderate to severe ARDS.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains the primary contributor to delayed graft function in kidney transplantation. The beneficial application of manganese superoxide dismutase (sod), delivered by a BacMam vector, against renal I/R injury has not been evaluated previously. Therefore, this study overexpressed sod-2 in proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells and porcine kidney organs during simulated renal I/R injury. Incubation of HK-2 cells with antimycin A and 2-deoxyglucose resulted in a significant decrease in intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels; following reperfusion, ATP levels significantly increased over time in cells overexpressing sod-2. In addition, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release declined over 72 h in BacMam-transduced injured cells. Ex vivo delivery of sod-2 significantly increased ATP levels in organs after 24 h of cold perfusion. In vitro and ex vivo results suggested that BacMam transduction successfully delivered sod-2, which reduced injury associated with I/R, by improving ATP cell content and decreasing LDH release with a subsequent increase in kidney tissue viability. These data provide further evidence for the potential application of BacMam as a gene delivery system for attenuating injury after cold preservation.

Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:5306-17.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Valproic acid (VPA), a widely used epilepsy and bipolar disorder treatment, provides acute protection against haemorrhagic shock-induced mortality in a range of in vivo models through an unknown mechanism. In the liver, this effect occurs with a concomitant protection against a decrease in GSK3β-Ser(9) phosphorylation. Here, we developed an in vitro model to investigate this protective effect of VPA and define a molecular mechanism. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The human hepatocarcinoma cell line (Huh7) was exposed to conditions occurring during haemorrhagic shock (hypoxia, hypercapnia and hypothermia) to investigate the changes in GSK3β-Ser(9) phosphorylation for a 4 h period following treatment with VPA, related congeners, PPAR agonists, antagonists and siRNA. KEY RESULTS Huh7 cells undergoing combined hypoxia, hypercapnia, and hypothermia reproduced the reduced GSK3β-Ser(9) phosphorylation shown in vivo during haemorrhagic shock, and this change was blocked by VPA. The protective effect occurred through upstream PTEN and Akt signalling, and prevented downstream β-catenin degradation while increasing histone 2/3 acetylation. This effect was reproduced by several VPA-related compounds with known PPARγ agonist activity, independent of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity. Specific pharmacological inhibition (by T0070907) or knockdown of PPARγ blocked the protective effect of VPA against these signalling changes and apoptosis. In addition, specific activation of PPARγ using ciglitazone reproduced the changes induced by VPA in haemorrhagic shock-like conditions. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Changes in GSK3β-Ser(9) phosphorylation in in vivo haemorrhagic shock models can be modelled in vitro, and this has identified a role for PPARγ activation in the protective role of VPA.

Abstract
Background: Bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) affects renal function adversely. Previous investigations have implied that nitric oxide (NO) improves renal function in obstructive nephropathy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of NO precursor, L-arginine, and NO blocker agent, L-NAME on kidney tissue damage in rats after 24 h of BUO. Methods: Forty Wistar rats (18 male, 22 female) were divided into four groups as follows; group 1: Sham or negative control group that received saline 3 days prior to the sham operation, group 2: Vehicle or positive control group that received saline 3 days prior to BUO, and groups 3 and 4: L-arginine and L-NAME groups that were treated same as group 2 except L-arginine (300 mg/kg) and L-NAME (4 mg/kg) instead of saline, respectively. Twenty-four hours after obstruction, the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), nitrite, and malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as kidney tissue levels of nitrite and MDA were measured and histopathological studies were done on left kidney. Results: The serum levels of BUN and Cr and kidney and body weights increased and the tissue levels of MDA and nitrite decreased significantly in all BUO groups (P < 0.05). However, the tissue damage score was significantly lower in the L-arginine treated group in comparison to the vehicle and L-NAME groups (P < 0.05). As expected, the serum level of nitrite significantly increased in the L-arginine group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Endogenous NO donor; L-arginine, may protect the kidney tissue against BUO. However, this renoprotective role of L-arginine did not attenuate the increased kidney function markers (BUN and Cr) induced by obstruction.

Abstract
CDK inhibitors have been used to induce protection in various experimental models. Kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a form of acute kidney injury resulting in a cascade of cellular events prompting rapid cellular damage and suppression of kidney function. I/R injury, an inevitable impairment during renal transplant surgery, remains one of the major causes of acute kidney injury and represents the most prominent factor leading to delayed graft function after transplantation. Understanding the molecular events responsible for tubule damage and recovery would help to develop new strategies for organ preservation. This chapter describes procedures to study the effect of CDK inhibitors in the cellular I/R model developed from an epithelial cell line deriving from pig kidney proximal tubule cells (LLC-PK1). We briefly describe methods for determining the protective effect of CDK inhibitors such as activation of caspase 3/7, western blot analysis, gene silencing, and immunoprecipitation.

Abstract
To test the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of partial extracorporeal CO2 removal (PECCO2R) using a standard continuous renal replacement (CRRT) device with a pediatric oxygenation membrane introduced into the circuit in a serial manner. In this retrospective single-center study, we have studied mechanically ventilated patients with persistent significant respiratory acidosis and acute renal failure requiring ongoing CRRT. Sixteen patients were treated with our PECCO2R device. PaCO2 and arterial pH were measured before as well as at 6 and 12 hours after PECCO2R implementation. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. Our PECCO2R system was efficient to significantly reduce PaCO2 and increase arterial pH. The median PaCO2 before treatment was 77 mm Hg (59-112) with a median reduction of 24 mm Hg after 6 hours and 30 mm Hg after 12 hours (31% and 39%, respectively). The median pH increase was 0.16 at 6 hours and 0.23 at 12 hours. Partial extracorporeal CO2 removal treatment had no effect on oxygenation. No complication was observed. Our PECCO2R approach based on the simple introduction of a pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation membrane into the circuit of a standard CRRT device is easy to implement, safe, and efficient to improve respiratory acidosis.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion processes induce damage in renal tubules and compromise the viability of kidney transplants. Understanding the molecular events responsible for tubule damage and recovery would help to develop new strategies for organ preservation. CDK5 has been traditionally considered a neuronal kinase with dual roles in cell death and survival. Here, we demonstrate that CDK5 and their regulators p35/p25 and cyclin I are also expressed in renal tubular cells. We show that treatment with CDK inhibitors promotes the formation of pro-survival CDK5/cyclin I complexes and enhances cell survival upon an ischemia reperfusion pro-apoptotic insult. These findings support the benefit of treating with CDK inhibitors for renal preservation, assisting renal tubule protection.

Abstract
Dragon is one of the three members of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family, i.e. RGMa, RGMb (Dragon), and RGMc (hemojuvelin). We previously identified the RGM members as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) co-receptors that enhance BMP signaling. Our previous studies found that Dragon is highly expressed in the tubular epithelial cells of mouse kidneys. However, the roles of Dragon in renal epithelial cells are yet to be defined. We now show that overexpression of Dragon increased cell death induced by hypoxia in association with increased cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and cleaved caspase-3 levels in mouse inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD3) cells. Dragon also inhibited E-cadherin expression but did not affect epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-β in IMCD3 cells. Previous studies suggest that the three RGM members can function as ligands for the receptor neogenin. Interestingly, our present study demonstrates that the Dragon actions on apoptosis and E-cadherin expression in IMCD3 cells were mediated by the neogenin receptor but not through the BMP pathway. Dragon expression in the kidney was up-regulated by unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice. Compared with wild-type mice, heterozygous Dragon knock-out mice exhibited 45-66% reduction in Dragon mRNA expression, decreased epithelial apoptosis, and increased tubular E-cadherin expression and had attenuated tubular injury after unilateral ureteral obstruction. Our results suggest that Dragon may impair tubular epithelial integrity and induce epithelial apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Acute tubular necrosis is a clinical problem that lacks specific therapy and is characterized by high mortality rate. The ischemic renal injury affects the proximal tubule cells causing dysfunction and cell death after severe hypoperfusion. We utilized a cell-based screening approach in a hypoxia-reoxygenation model of tubular injury to search for cytoprotective action using a library of pharmacologically active compounds. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) induced ATP depletion, suppressed aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, increased the permeability of the monolayer, caused poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and caspase-dependent cell death. The only compound that proved cytoprotective either applied prior to the hypoxia induction or during the reoxygenation was adenosine. The protective effect of adenosine required the coordinated actions of adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase, but did not requisite the purine receptors. Adenosine and inosine better preserved the cellular ATP content during ischemia than equimolar amount of glucose, and accelerated the restoration of the cellular ATP pool following the OGD. Our results suggest that radical changes occur in the cellular metabolism to respond to the energy demand during and following hypoxia, which include the use of nucleosides as an essential energy source. Thus purine nucleoside supplementation holds promise in the treatment of acute renal failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxygen hood is largely used to deliver O₂ to newborn infants with respiratory failure in the northern region of France. The oxygen flow is set to obtain the target arterial blood oxygen saturation. Thus, O₂ flow delivers into the hood may be below the recommended gas flow of 6L/min. However, gas flow below 6L/min exposes to CO₂ rebreathing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various rates of gas flows on the values of partial pressure of CO₂ into the hood. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured CO₂ and O₂ partial pressure into hoods of two different volumes (4 and 10L) under two experimental bench test conditions. Protocol 1: gas flow was constant at 6L/min, while oxygen fraction varied from 0.21 to 1. Partial pressure of CO₂ and O₂ were recorded. Protocol 2: while O₂ fraction was kept constant, oxygen flow varied from 0.5 to 7L/min (by step of 0.5L/min). Partial pressure of CO₂ and O₂ were recorded. RESULTS Partial pressure of CO₂ increases proportionally to the decrease in the gas flow delivered into the hood, and reached 14 mmHg at gas flow of 0.5L/min. CONCLUSION Risk of CO₂ rebreathing exists as soon as the gas is delivered into the hood at minimal flow rates below 6L/min.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) contributes greatly to morbidity and mortality in critically ill adults and children. Patients with AKI who subsequently develop lung injury are known to suffer worse outcomes compared with patients with lung injury alone. Isolated experimental kidney ischemia alters distal lung water balance and capillary permeability, but the effects of such an aberration on subsequent lung injury are unknown. We present a clinically relevant two-hit murine model wherein a proximal AKI through bilateral renal ischemia (30 min) is followed by a subsequent acute lung injury (ALI) via intratracheal LPS endotoxin (50 μg at 24 h after surgery). Mice demonstrated AKI by elevation of serum creatinine and renal histopathological damage. Mice with ALI and preexisting AKI had increased lung neutrophilia in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and by myeloperoxidase activity over Sham-ALI mice. Additionally, lung histopathological damage was greater in ALI mice with preexisting AKI than Sham-ALI mice. There was uniform elevation of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in kidney, serum, and lung tissue in animals with both AKI and ALI over those with either injury alone. The additive lung inflammation after ALI with antecedent AKI was abrogated in MCP-1-deficient mice. Taken together, our two-hit model demonstrates that kidney injury may prime the lung for a heightened inflammatory response to subsequent injury and MCP-1 may be involved in this model of kidney-lung cross talk. The model holds clinical relevance for patients at risk of lung injury after ischemic injury to the kidney.

Abstract
Despite advances in renal replacement therapy, the mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) has remained high, especially when associated with distant organ dysfunction such as acute lung injury (ALI). Mortality rates for combined AKI/ALI reach 80% in critically ill patients. While the clinical presentation of AKI-associated ALI is characterized by increased pulmonary edema, a defining feature of the syndrome, the AKI-induced lung effects extend beyond simple volume overload. Furthermore, ALI and associated mechanical ventilation frequently lead to a decline in renal hemodynamics, structure and function. New experimental data have emerged in recent years focusing on the interactive effects of kidney and lung dysfunction, and these studies have highlighted the pathophysiological importance of proinflammatory and proapoptotic pathways as well as the complex nature of interorgan crosstalk. This review will examine our current understanding of the deleterious kidney-lung crosstalk in the critically ill.

Abstract
Obstructive uropathy can cause irreversible renal damage. It has been hypothesized that elevated hydrostatic pressure within renal tubules and/or renal ischemia contributes to cellular injury following obstruction. However, these assaults are essentially impossible to isolate in vivo. Therefore, we developed a novel pressure system to evaluate the isolated and coordinated effects of elevated hydrostatic pressure and ischemic insults on renal cells in vitro. Cells were subjected to: (1) elevated hydrostatic pressure (80 cm H(2)O); (2) ischemic insults (hypoxia (0% O(2)), hypercapnia (20% CO(2)), and 0 mM glucose media); and (3) elevated pressure + ischemic insults. Cellular responses including cell density, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and intracellular LDH (LDH(i)), were recorded after 24 h of insult and following recovery. Data were analyzed to assess the primary effects of ischemic insults and elevated pressure. Unlike pressure, ischemic insults exerted a primary effect on nearly all response measurements. We also evaluated the data for insult interactions and identified significant interactions between ischemic insults and pressure. Altogether, findings indicate that pressure may sub-lethally effect cells and alter cellular metabolism (LDH(i)) and membrane properties. Results suggest that renal ischemia may be the primary, but not the sole, cause of cellular injury induced by obstructive uropathy.

Abstract
Ischemia has elicited a great deal of interest among the scientific community due to its role in life-threatening pathologies such as cancer, stroke, acute renal failure, and myocardial infarction. Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) associated with ischemia has recently become a subject of intense scrutiny. New investigators may find it challenging to induce hypoxic injury in vitro. Researchers may not always be aware of the experimental barriers that contribute to this phenomenon. Furthermore, ischemia is associated with other major insults, such as excess carbon dioxide (hypercapnia), nutrient deprivation, and accumulation of cellular wastes. Ideally, these conditions should also be incorporated into in vitro models. Therefore, the motivation behind this review is to: i. delineate major in vivo ischemic insults; ii. identify and explain critical in vitro parameters that need to be considered when simulating ischemic pathologies; iii. provide recommendations to improve experiments; and as a result, iv. enhance the validity of in vitro results for understanding clinical ischemic pathologies. Undoubtedly, it is not possible to completely replicate the in vivo environment in an ex vivo model system. In fact, the primary goal of many in vitro studies is to elucidate the role of specific stimuli during in vivo pathological events. This review will present methodologies that may be implemented to improve the applicability of in vitro models for understanding the complex pathological mechanisms of ischemia. Finally, although these topics will be discussed within the context of renal ischemia, many are pertinent for cellular models of other organ systems and pathologies.

Abstract
Anemia is a well-known consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and its prevalence progressively increases when the estimated glomerular filtration rate decreases to less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. However, analyses of the consequences of anemia and of the mechanisms of progression of CKD suggest that anemia also could contribute to the deterioration of kidney function. This hypothesis is based mostly on experimental data that imply that hypoxia of tubular cells plays an important role in tubulointerstitial damage associated with CKD and, thus, in the progression of renal failure. It also is supported by the fact that red blood cells represent a major antioxidant component of blood and that oxidative stress appears to contribute to glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial damage. In humans, post hoc analysis of the Reduction of End points in non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan study and analyses of smaller prospective cohorts of CKD patients have shown that anemia is an independent risk factor for progression of CKD. In addition, 3 small randomized studies have suggested that anemia correction could slow the progression of CKD. Thus, the existence of a relationship between anemia and progression of CKD is not only plausible biologically, but also is supported by observational studies and by small intervention studies. However, only a large, randomized, prospective trial will be able to establish if anemia correction can slow the progression of CKD effectively.

Abstract
Ureteric obstruction is frequently encountered in primary care urology and can lead to damage to the ipsilateral kidney. Relief of all types of obstruction generally leads to the normalization of any deterioration in renal function noted at diagnosis. However, some evidence from animal models suggests that obstruction can cause progressive deleterious effects on renal function and blood pressure control, especially in the presence of preexisting pathologies such as essential hypertension. The last 10 years have seen a proliferation of studies in rodents wherein complete unilateral ureteric obstruction has been used as a model of renal fibrosis. However, the relevance of the findings to human obstructive uropathy has, in many cases, not been the primary aim. In this review, we outline the major events linking damage to the renal parenchyma and cell death to the evolution of fibrosis following obstruction. Special focus is given to the role of apoptosis as a major cause of cell death during and post-complete ureteric obstruction. Several interventions that reduce tubular apoptosis are discussed in terms of their ability to prevent subsequent progression to end-organ damage and fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current literature on possible mechanisms by which mechanical ventilation may initiate or aggravate acute renal failure. DATA SOURCE A Medline database and references from identified articles were used to perform a literature search relating to mechanical ventilation and acute renal failure. DATA SYNTHESIS Acute renal failure may be initiated or aggravated by mechanical ventilation through three different mechanisms. First, strategies such as permissive hypercapnia or permissive hypoxemia may compromise renal blood flow. Second, through effects on cardiac output, mechanical ventilation affects systemic and renal hemodynamics. Third, mechanical ventilation may cause biotrauma-a pulmonary inflammatory reaction that may generate systemic release of inflammatory mediators. The harmful effects of mechanical ventilation may become more significant when a comorbidity is present. In these situations, it is more difficult to maintain normal gas exchange, and moderate arterial hypoxemia and hypercapnia are often accepted. Renal blood flow is compromised due to a decreased cardiac output as a consequence of high intrathoracic pressures. Furthermore, the effects of biotrauma are not limited to the lungs but may lead to a systemic inflammatory reaction. CONCLUSIONS The development of acute renal failure during mechanical ventilation likely represents a multifactorial process that may become more important in the presence of comorbidities. Development of optimal interventional strategies requires an understanding of physiologic principles and greater insight into the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms that may also play a role.
