Abstract
It is widely known that diabetes mellitus negatively impacts both the innate immunity (the inflammatory response) and the acquired immunity (the humoral and cellular immune responses). Many patients with diabetes go on to develop chronic kidney disease, which will necessitate hemodialysis. In turn, long-term chronic hemodialysis generates an additional chronic inflammatory response and impairs acquired immunity. The purpose of this paper is to outline and compare the mechanisms that are the basis of the constant aggression towards self-components that affects patients with diabetes on hemodialysis, in order to find possible new therapeutic ways to improve the functionality of the immune system. Our study will take a detailed look at the mechanisms of endothelial alteration in diabetes and hemodialysis, at the mechanisms of inflammatory generation and signaling at different levels and also at the mechanisms of inflammation-induced insulin resistance. It will also discuss the alterations in leukocyte chemotaxis, antigen recognition and the dysfunctionalities in neutrophils and macrophages. Regarding acquired immunity, we will outline the behavioral alterations of T and B lymphocytes induced by diabetes mellitus and chronic hemodialysis.

What is the role of the neutrophil extracellular traps in the cardiovascular disease burden associated with hemodialysis bioincompatibility? Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1268748. [PMID: 38034546 PMCID: PMC10684960 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1268748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite significant progress in dialysis modalities, intermittent renal replacement therapy remains an "unphysiological" treatment that imperfectly corrects uremic disorders and may lead to low-grade chronic inflammation, neutrophil activation, and oxidative stress due to repetitive blood/membrane interactions contributing to the "remaining uremic syndrome" and cardiovascular disease burden of hemodialysis patients. Understanding dialysis bioincompatibility pathways still remains a clinical and biochemical challenge. Indeed, surrogate biomarkers of inflammation including C-reactive protein could not discriminate between all components involved in these complex pathways. A few examples may serve to illustrate the case. Cytokine release during dialysis sessions may be underestimated due to their removal using high-flux dialysis or hemodiafiltration modalities. Complement activation is recognized as a key event of bioincompatibility. However, it appears as an early and transient event with anaphylatoxin level normalization at the end of the dialysis session. Complement activation is generally assumed to trigger leukocyte stimulation leading to proinflammatory mediators' secretion and oxidative burst. In addition to being part of the innate immune response involved in eliminating physically and enzymatically microbes, the formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), known as NETosis, has been recently identified as a major harmful component in a wide range of pathologies associated with inflammatory processes. NETs result from the neutrophil degranulation induced by reactive oxygen species overproduction via NADPH oxidase and consist of modified chromatin decorated with serine proteases, elastase, bactericidal proteins, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) that produces hypochlorite anion. Currently, NETosis remains poorly investigated as a sensitive and integrated marker of bioincompatibility in dialysis. Only scarce data could be found in the literature. Oxidative burst and NADPH oxidase activation are well-known events in the bioincompatibility phenomenon. NET byproducts such as elastase, MPO, and circulating DNA have been reported to be increased in dialysis patients more specifically during dialysis sessions, and were identified as predictors of poor outcomes. As NETs and MPO could be taken up by endothelium, NETs could be considered as a vascular memory of intermittent bioincompatibility phenomenon. In this working hypothesis article, we summarized the puzzle pieces showing the involvement of NET formation during hemodialysis and postulated that NETosis may act as a disease modifier and may contribute to the comorbid burden associated with dialysis bioincompatibility.

Abstract
Oxidative stress regulates many physiological and pathological processes. Indeed, a low increase in the basal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for various cellular functions, including signal transduction, gene expression, cell survival or death, as well as antioxidant capacity. However, if the amount of generated ROS overcomes the antioxidant capacity, excessive ROS results in cellular dysfunctions as a consequence of damage to cellular components, including DNA, lipids and proteins, and may eventually lead to cell death or carcinogenesis. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations have shown that activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5/ERK5) pathway is frequently involved in oxidative stress-elicited effects. In particular, accumulating evidence identified a prominent role of this pathway in the anti-oxidative response. In this respect, activation of krüppel-like factor 2/4 and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 emerged among the most frequent events in ERK5-mediated response to oxidative stress. This review summarizes what is known about the role of the MEK5/ERK5 pathway in the response to oxidative stress in pathophysiological contexts within the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphohematopoietic, urinary and central nervous systems. The possible beneficial or detrimental effects exerted by the MEK5/ERK5 pathway in the above systems are also discussed.

Turmeric supplementation with piperine is more effective than turmeric alone in attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation in hemodialysis patients: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Free Radic Biol Med 2022; 193:648-655. [PMID: 36370961 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Turmeric has renop rotective effects that can act to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Piperine has been indicated as a bioavailability enhancer of turmeric and consequently of its biological effects. However, data on the efficacy of the turmeric/piperine combination in HD patients are limited. We aimed to verify whether turmeric supplementation in combination with piperine has a superior effect to turmeric alone in increasing antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in HD patients. METHODS This randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted in HD patients (age 20-75 years). Patients were supplemented with turmeric (3 g/day) or turmeric/piperine (3 g turmeric + 2 mg piperine/day) for 12 weeks. Malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and ferritin were evaluated at baseline and the end of the study. RESULTS There was a reduction in the MDA and ferritin levels in the turmeric/piperine group and in the comparison between groups at the end of the study [MDA: -0.08(-0.14/0.01) nmol/mL versus -0.003(-0.10/0.26) nmol/mL, p = 0.003; ferritin: -193.80 ± 157.29 mg/mL versus 51.99 ± 293.25 mg/mL, p = 0.018]. In addition, GPx activity reduced in the turmeric group (p = 0.029). No changes were observed for CAT, GR, and hs-CRP. CONCLUSION Turmeric plus piperine was superior to turmeric alone in decreasing MDA and ferritin levels. The use of a combination of turmeric and piperine as a dietary intervention may be beneficial for modulating the status oxidative and inflammation in HD patients.

Abstract
Protein energy malnutrition is recognized as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Protein-energy-wasting process is observed in about 45% of the dialysis population using common biomarkers worldwide. Although several factors are implicated in protein energy wasting, inflammation and oxidative stress mechanisms play a central role in this pathogenic process. In this in-depth review, we analyzed the implication of sodium and water accumulation, as well as the role of fluid overload and fluid management, as major contributors to protein-energy-wasting process. Fluid overload and fluid depletion mimic a tide up and down phenomenon that contributes to inducing hypercatabolism and stimulates oxidation phosphorylation mechanisms at the cellular level in particular muscles. This endogenous metabolic water production may contribute to hyponatremia. In addition, salt tissue accumulation likely contributes to hypercatabolic state through locally inflammatory and immune-mediated mechanisms but also contributes to the perturbation of hormone receptors (i.e., insulin or growth hormone resistance). It is time to act more precisely on sodium and fluid imbalance to mitigate both nutritional and cardiovascular risks. Personalized management of sodium and fluid, using available tools including sodium management tool, has the potential to more adequately restore sodium and water homeostasis and to improve nutritional status and outcomes of dialysis patients.

Abstract
Biocompatibility in hemodialysis (HD) has considerably improved in recent decades, but remains an open issue to be solved, appearing essential to reduce systemic inflammation and enhance patients’ clinical outcomes. Clotting prevention, reduction in complement and leukocyte activation, and improvement of antioxidant effect represent the main goals. This review aims to analyze the different pathways involved in HD patients, leading to immune system dysfunction and inflammation. In particular, we mostly review the evidence about thrombogenicity, which probably represents the most important characteristic of bio-incompatibility. Platelet activation is one of the first steps occurring in HD patients, determining several events causing chronic sub-clinical inflammation and immune dysfunction involvement. Moreover, oxidative stress processes, resulting from a loss of balance between pro-oxidant factors and antioxidant mechanisms, have been described, highlighting the link with inflammation. We updated both innate and acquired immune system dysfunctions and their close link with uremic toxins occurring in HD patients, with several consequences leading to increased mortality. The elucidation of the role of immune dysfunction and inflammation in HD patients would enhance not only the understanding of disease physiopathology, but also has the potential to provide new insights into the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) happens due to decreasing kidney function. Inflammation and oxidative stress have been shown to result in the progression of CKD. Quercetin is widely known to have various bioactivities including antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. Objective To evaluate the activity of quercetin to inhibit inflammation, stress oxidative, and fibrosis on CKD cells model (mouse mesangial cells induced by glucose). Methods and Material The SV40 MES 13 cells were plated in a 6-well plate with cell density at 5,000 cells/well. The medium had been substituted for 3 days with a glucose-induced medium with a concentration of 20 mM. Quercetin was added with 50, 10, and 5 µg/mL concentrations. The negative control was the untreated cell. The levels of TGF-β1, TNF-α, and MDA were determined using ELISA KIT. The gene expressions of the SMAD7, SMAD3, SMAD2, and SMAD4 were analyzed using qRT-PCR. Results Glucose can lead to an increase in inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, TGF-β1, MDA as well as the expressions of the SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD4, and a decrease in SMAD7. Quercetin caused the reduction of TNF-α, TGF-β1, MDA as well as the expression of the SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD4, and increased SMAD7. Conclusion Quercetin has anti-inflammation, antioxidant, antifibrosis activity in the CKD cells model. Thus, quercetin is a promising substance for CKD therapy and further research is needed to prove this in CKD animal model.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been recognized as an increasingly serious public health problem globally over the decades. Accumulating evidence has shown that the incidence rate of cancer was relatively higher in CKD patients than that in general population, which, mechanistically, may be related to chronic inflammation, accumulation of carcinogenic compounds, oxidative stress, impairment of DNA repair, excessive parathyroid hormone and changes in intestinal microbiota, etc. And in patients with cancer, regardless of tumor types or anticancer treatment, it has been indicated that the morbidity and incidence rate of concomitant CKD was also increased, suggesting a complex inter-relationship between CKD and cancer and arousing increasing attention from both nephrologists and oncologists. This narrative review focused on the correlation between CKD and cancer, and underlying molecular mechanisms, which might provide an overview of novel interdisciplinary research interests and the potential challenges related to the screening and treatment of CKD and cancer. A better understanding of this field might be of help for both nephrologists and oncologists in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Kidney disease is a known risk factor for poor outcomes of COVID-19 and many other serious infections. Conversely, infection is the second most common cause of death in patients with kidney disease. However, little is known about the underlying secondary immunodeficiency related to kidney disease (SIDKD). In contrast to cardiovascular disease related to kidney disease, which has triggered countless epidemiologic, clinical, and experimental research activities or interventional trials, investments in tracing, understanding, and therapeutically targeting SIDKD have been sparse. As a call for more awareness of SIDKD as an imminent unmet medical need that requires rigorous research activities at all levels, we review the epidemiology of SIDKD and the numerous aspects of the abnormal immunophenotype of patients with kidney disease. We propose a definition of SIDKD and discuss the pathogenic mechanisms of SIDKD known thus far, including more recent insights into the unexpected immunoregulatory roles of elevated levels of FGF23 and hyperuricemia and shifts in the secretome of the intestinal microbiota in kidney disease. As an ultimate goal, we should aim to develop therapeutics that can reduce mortality due to infections in patients with kidney disease by normalizing host defense to pathogens and immune responses to vaccines.

Abstract
Despite many readily available therapies, hypertensive kidney disease remains the second most prevalent cause of end-stage renal disease after diabetes, and continues to burden patient populations and escalate morbidity and mortality rates. Kinin B1 receptor (B1R) activation has been shown to have a role in the development of hypertension, one of the major etiologies for chronic kidney disease. However, the role of B1R in hypertension induced renal injury and remodeling remains unexplored. Using a DOCA-salt-induced hypertensive mouse model, we investigated whether B1R deficiency reduces hypertensive renal injury and fibrosis. To further recognize the translational role of B1R, we examined the expression of B1R and its correlation with collagen deposition in renal biopsies from control and hypertensive kidney disease patients. Our data indicates that renal B1R expression was upregulated in the kidneys of DOCA-salt hypertensive mice. Genetic ablation of B1R protected the mice from DOCA-salt-induced renal injury and fibrosis by preventing inflammation and oxidative stress in the kidney. Cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells expressed B1R and stimulation of B1R with an agonist resulted in increased oxidative stress. In human kidney biopsy samples, we found that the B1R immunoreactivity was not only significantly increased in hypertensive patients compared to normotensive patients, but also there is a positive correlation between B1R expression and renal fibrosis levels. Taken together, our results identify a critical role of B1R in the development of inflammation and fibrosis of the kidney in hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed at determining the effect of saffron supplementation on renal function. METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to February 2021. The risk of bias in individual studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The overall weighted mean difference (WMD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effect models. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 11 trials were included in this study. Saffron had beneficial effect on BUN (WMD = -0.69 mg/dl; 95% CI, -1.36 to -0.01; P=0.046) compared to placebo, with significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 49.6%, P=0.037). However, it had no significant effect on serum Cr (WMD = 0.04 mg/dl; 95% CI: -0.01 to 0.09; P=0.127). CONCLUSION It seems that saffron supplementation had no significant effect on Cr as a renal function factor. However, BUN reduction was significant in the saffron group compared to placebo.

Abstract
There are large between- and within-country variations in COVID-19 death rates. Some very low death rate settings such as Eastern Asia, Central Europe, the Balkans and Africa have a common feature of eating large quantities of fermented foods whose intake is associated with the activation of the Nrf2 (Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2) anti-oxidant transcription factor. There are many Nrf2-interacting nutrients (berberine, curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, genistein, quercetin, resveratrol, sulforaphane) that all act similarly to reduce insulin resistance, endothelial damage, lung injury and cytokine storm. They also act on the same mechanisms (mTOR: Mammalian target of rapamycin, PPARγ:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, NFκB: Nuclear factor kappa B, ERK: Extracellular signal-regulated kinases and eIF2α:Elongation initiation factor 2α). They may as a result be important in mitigating the severity of COVID-19, acting through the endoplasmic reticulum stress or ACE-Angiotensin-II-AT1R axis (AT1R) pathway. Many Nrf2-interacting nutrients are also interacting with TRPA1 and/or TRPV1. Interestingly, geographical areas with very low COVID-19 mortality are those with the lowest prevalence of obesity (Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia). It is tempting to propose that Nrf2-interacting foods and nutrients can re-balance insulin resistance and have a significant effect on COVID-19 severity. It is therefore possible that the intake of these foods may restore an optimal natural balance for the Nrf2 pathway and may be of interest in the mitigation of COVID-19 severity.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is one of the more serious complications of Chronic kidney disease (CKD), and its exact pathogenesis has not been clarified. As an upstream proinflammatory factor, macrophage migration inhibitor (MIF) is involved in the occurrence and development of many diseases. This study aimed to detect the relationship between serum MIF and PAH in non-dialysis CKD patients. A total of 382 non-dialysis CKD patients were enrolled in this study. Bio-Plex cytokine assay was used to detect MIF. CKD patients were divided into the PAH group and non-PAH group according to echocardiographic results. Relative risk was determined by logistic regression analysis. The pulmonary artery pressure in the CKD group was higher than that in the control group ( p < 0.01). Pulmonary arterial pressure was higher in stage 4 to 5 CKD patients than in Stage 1 to 3 CKD patients ( p < 0. 01), and the incidence of PAH was also increased ( p < 0. 01). MIF in the CKD group were higher than in the control group ( p < 0.05). MIF in CKD patients with PAH were higher than those without PAH ( p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MIF is correlated with PAH (OR = 10.745; 95% CI 2.288–89.447, p < 0.05). PAH is common in non-dialysis CKD patients, and with the deterioration of kidney disease, the incidence of PAH is gradually increased, indicating that MIF plays an important role in the development of PAH in CKD patients.

Abstract
Generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) is necessary for both physiology and pathology. An imbalance between endogenous oxidants and antioxidants causes oxidative stress, contributing to vascular dysfunction. The ROS-induced activation of transcription factors and proinflammatory genes increases inflammation. This phenomenon is of crucial importance in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), because atherosclerosis is one of the critical factors of their cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increased mortality. The effect of ROS disrupts the excretory function of each section of the nephron. It prevents the maintenance of intra-systemic homeostasis and leads to the accumulation of metabolic products. Renal regulatory mechanisms, such as tubular glomerular feedback, myogenic reflex in the supplying arteriole, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, are also affected. It makes it impossible for the kidney to compensate for water-electrolyte and acid-base disturbances, which progress further in the mechanism of positive feedback, leading to a further intensification of oxidative stress. As a result, the progression of CKD is observed, with a spectrum of complications such as malnutrition, calcium phosphate abnormalities, atherosclerosis, and anemia. This review aimed to show the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in renal impairment, with a particular emphasis on its influence on the most common disturbances that accompany CKD.

Abstract
Background Increased oxidative stress in end-stage renal disease is regarded as one of the important mechanisms in the atherosclerosis and muscle wasting. However, studies examining the clinical significance of oxidative stress by direct measurement of these markers and its association with volume status and sarcopenia are limited. Methods A follow-up cross-sectional study was performed in stable hemodialysis (HD) patients and serum protein carbonyl levels were measured as a biomarker of oxidative stress. Additionally, multi-frequency body composition analysis, handgrip strength (HGS) and nutritional assessments were performed at baseline. Results Eighty-eight patients undergoing HD were included and 30 (34.1%) patients died during a mean follow-up of 5.2 years. The mean patient age was 60.6 ± 13.5 years, and the mean HD duration was 50.8 ± 41.3 months. In total, 16 patients (18.2%) were overhydrated, 49 (55.7%) had low HGS and 36 (40.9%) had low muscle mass. Serum protein carbonyl levels were associated with serum levels of albumin, prealbumin and transferrin, hydration status and low HGS. Overhydration (odds ratio [OR] 7.01, 95% CI 1.77–27.79, p = 0.006), prealbumin (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83–0.99, p = 0.030), subjective global assessment (OR 3.52, 95% CI 1.08–11.46, p = 0.037) and sarcopenia (OR 3.41, 95% CI 1.02–11.32, p = 0.046) were significantly related to increased serum protein carbonyl levels. Multivariate analysis showed that the serum levels of protein carbonyl (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.37, 95% CI 1.02–5.55, p = 0.036), albumin (HR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06–0.46, p = 0.003), prealbumin (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.80–0.92, p = 0.001), overhydration (HR 2.31, 95% CI 1.26–8.71, p = 0.015) and sarcopenia (HR 2.72, 95% CI 1.11–6.63, p = 0.028) were independent determinants of all-cause mortality. Conclusions Serum protein carbonyl was significantly associated with overhydration, nutritional status and sarcopenia, and could be a new predictor of mortality in patients undergoing HD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and infections are major causes for the high incidence of morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease. Both complications are directly or indirectly associated with disturbed functions or altered apoptotic rates of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes, and dendritic cells. Normal responses of immune cells can be reduced, leading to infectious diseases or pre-activated/primed, giving rise to inflammation and subsequently to cardiovascular disease. This review summarizes the impact of kidney dysfunction on the immune system. Renal failure results in disturbed renal metabolic activities with reduced renin, erythropoietin, and vitamin D production, which adversely affects the immune system. Decreased kidney function also leads to reduced glomerular filtration and the retention of uremic toxins. A large number of uremic toxins with detrimental effects on immune cells have been identified. Besides small water-soluble and protein-bound compounds originating from the intestinal microbiome, several molecules in the middle molecular range, e.g., immunoglobulin light chains, retinol-binding protein, the neuropeptides Met-enkephalin and neuropeptide Y, endothelin-1, and the adipokines leptin and resistin, adversely affect immune cells. Posttranslational modifications such as carbamoylation, advanced glycation products, and oxidative modifications contribute to uremic toxicity. Furthermore, high-density lipoprotein from uremic patients has an altered protein profile and thereby loses its anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
Background The relationships between digestive bacterial translocation, uremic toxins, oxidative stress and microinflammation in a population of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without metabolic nor inflammatory disease are unknown. Methods Bacterial translocation, uremic toxins, oxidative stress, and inflammation were assessed by measuring plasma levels of 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), indoxyl sulfate (IS), indole acetic acid (IAA), F2-isoprostanes, hsCRP and receptor I of TNFα (RITNFα) in patients without metabolic nor inflammatory disease. 44 patients with CKD from stage IIIB to V and 14 controls with normal kidney function were included from the nephrology outpatients. 11 patients under hemodialysis (HD) were also included. Correlations between each factor and microinflammation markers were studied. Results 16S rDNA levels were not increased in CKD patients compared to controls but were decreased in HD compared to non-HD stage V patients (4.7 (3.9–5.3) vs 8.6 (5.9–9.7) copies/μl, p = 0.002). IS, PCS and IAA levels increased in HD compared to controls (106.3 (73.3–130.4) vs 3.17 (2.4–5.1) μmol/l, p < 0.0001 for IS; 174.2 (125–227.5) vs 23.7 (13.9–52.6) μmol/l, p = 0.006 for PCS; and 3.7 (2.6–4.6) vs 1.3 (1.0–1.9) μmol/l, p = 0.0002 for IAA). Urea increased in non-HD stage V patients compared to controls (27.6 (22.7–30.9) vs 5.4 (4.8–6.4) mmol/l, p < 0.0001) and was similar in HD and in non-HD stage V (19.3 (14.0–24.0) vs 27.6 (22.7–30.9) mmol/l, p = 0.7). RITNFα levels increased in HD patients compared to controls (12.6 (9.6–13.3) vs 1.1 (1.0–1.4) ng/ml, p < 0.0001); hsCRP levels increased in non-HD stage V patients compared to controls (2.9 (1.4–8.5) vs 0.8 (0.5–1.7) mg/l, p = 0.01) and remained stable in HD patients (2.9 (1.4–8.5) vs 5.1 (0.9–11.5) mg/l, p = 1). F2-isoprostanes did not differ in CKD patients compared to controls. Among uremic toxins, IS and urea were correlated to RITNFα (r = 0.8, p < 0.0001 for both). PCS, IS and urea were higher in patients with hsCRP≧5 mg/l (p = 0.01, 0.04 and 0.001 respectively). 16S rDNA, F2-isoprostanes were not correlated to microinflammation markers in our study. Conclusions In CKD patients without any associated metabolic nor inflammatory disease, only PCS, IS, and urea were correlated with microinflammation. Bacterial translocation was decreased in patients under HD and was not correlated to microinflammation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have many affected physiological pathways. Variations in the genes regulating these pathways might affect the incidence and predisposition to this disease. A total of 722 Spanish adults, including 548 patients and 174 controls, were genotyped to better understand the effects of genetic risk loci on the susceptibility to CKD. We analyzed 38 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes associated with the inflammatory response (interleukins IL-1A, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, ICAM-1), fibrogenesis (TGFB1), homocysteine synthesis (MTHFR), DNA repair (OGG1, MUTYH, XRCC1, ERCC2, ERCC4), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (CYP11B2, AGT), phase-II metabolism (GSTP1, GSTO1, GSTO2), antioxidant capacity (SOD1, SOD2, CAT, GPX1, GPX3, GPX4), and some other genes previously reported to be associated with CKD (GLO1, SLC7A9, SHROOM3, UMOD, VEGFA, MGP, KL). The results showed associations of GPX1, GSTO1, GSTO2, UMOD, and MGP with CKD. Additionally, associations with CKD related pathologies, such as hypertension (GPX4, CYP11B2, ERCC4), cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer predisposition (ERCC2) were also observed. Different genes showed association with biochemical parameters characteristic for CKD, such as creatinine (GPX1, GSTO1, GSTO2, KL, MGP), glomerular filtration rate (GPX1, GSTO1, KL, ICAM-1, MGP), hemoglobin (ERCC2, SHROOM3), resistance index erythropoietin (SOD2, VEGFA, MTHFR, KL), albumin (SOD1, GSTO2, ERCC2, SOD2), phosphorus (IL-4, ERCC4 SOD1, GPX4, GPX1), parathyroid hormone (IL-1A, IL-6, SHROOM3, UMOD, ICAM-1), C-reactive protein (SOD2, TGFB1,GSTP1, XRCC1), and ferritin (SOD2, GSTP1, SLC7A9, GPX4). To our knowledge, this is the second comprehensive study carried out in Spanish patients linking genetic polymorphisms and CKD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a debilitating pathology with various causal factors, culminating in end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. The progression of CKD is closely associated with systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which are responsible for the manifestation of numerous complications such as malnutrition, atherosclerosis, coronary artery calcification, heart failure, anemia and mineral and bone disorders, as well as enhanced cardiovascular mortality. In addition to conventional therapy with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative agents, growing evidence has indicated that certain minerals, vitamins and plant-derived metabolites exhibit beneficial effects in these disturbances. In the current work, we review the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of various agents which could be of potential benefit in CKD/ESRD. However, the related studies were limited due to small sample sizes and short-term follow-up in many trials. Therefore, studies of several anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents with long-term follow-ups are necessary.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive signaling molecules that maintain redox homeostasis in mammalian cells. Dysregulation of redox homeostasis under pathological conditions results in excessive generation of ROS, culminating in oxidative stress and the associated oxidative damage of cellular components. ROS and oxidative stress play a vital role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, and it is well documented that increased oxidative stress in patients enhances the progression of renal diseases. Oxidative stress activates autophagy, which facilitates cellular adaptation and diminishes oxidative damage by degrading and recycling intracellular oxidized and damaged macromolecules and dysfunctional organelles. In this review, we report the current understanding of the molecular regulation of autophagy in response to oxidative stress in general and in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. We summarize how the molecular interactions between ROS and autophagy involve ROS-mediated activation of autophagy and autophagy-mediated reduction of oxidative stress. In particular, we describe how ROS impact various signaling pathways of autophagy, including mTORC1-ULK1, AMPK-mTORC1-ULK1, and Keap1-Nrf2-p62, as well as selective autophagy including mitophagy and pexophagy. Precise elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of interactions between ROS and autophagy in the pathogenesis of renal diseases may identify novel targets for development of drugs for preventing renal injury.

Cardiovascular disease and infections are directly or indirectly associated with an altered immune response, which leads to a high incidence of morbidity and mortality, and together, they account for up to 70% of all deaths among patients with chronic kidney dysfunction. Impairment of the normal reaction of the innate and adaptive immune systems in chronic kidney disease predisposes patients to an increased risk of infections, virus-associated cancers, and a diminished vaccine response. On the other hand, an abnormal, exaggerated reaction of the immune systems can also occur in this group of patients, resulting in increased production and decreased clearance of proinflammatory cytokines, which can lead to inflammation and its sequelae (eg, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease). Epigenetically, modifications in hematopoietic stem cells involving a shift from lymphoid to myeloid cell lineage may underlie uremia-associated immunological senescence, which is not reversed by renal replacement therapy, including kidney transplantation. Measures aimed at attenuating the immune abnormalities in chronic kidney disease/end-stage renal disease should be an area of focused research as this could potentially lead to a better understanding and, thus, development of therapies that could reduce the disastrously high death rate in this patient population. The aim of the present article is to review the characteristics, causes, and mechanisms of the immune dysfunction related to chronic kidney disease.

AST-120 Reduces Neuroinflammation Induced by Indoxyl Sulfate in Glial Cells. J Clin Med 2018; 7:jcm7100365. [PMID: 30336612 PMCID: PMC6210605 DOI: 10.3390/jcm7100365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2018] [Revised: 10/12/2018] [Accepted: 10/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves multiple organ dysfunction, and the neurological complications that are often present in CKD patients support the idea of a crosstalk between the kidneys and the brain. Evidence suggests a possible role for products accumulating in these patients as uremic toxins in various CKD complications, including neurodegeneration. Indoxyl sulfate (IS), derived from tryptophan metabolism, is well-known as a uremic nephron-vascular toxin, and recent evidence suggests it also has a role in the immune response and in neurodegeneration. Inflammation has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases, as well as with CKD. In this study, we demonstrated that sera of CKD patients induced a significant inflammation in astrocyte cells which was proportional to IS sera concentrations, and that the IS adsorbent, AST-120, reduced this inflammatory response. These results indicated that, among the uremic toxins accumulating in serum of CKD patients, IS significantly contributed to astrocyte inflammation. Moreover, being also chronic inflammation associated with CKD, here we reported that IS further increased inflammation and oxidative stress in primary central nervous system (CNS) cells, via Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) and Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) activation, and induced neuron death. This study is a step towards elucidating IS as a potential pharmacological target in CKD patients.

Abstract
Thrombosis of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the leading cause of vascular access (VA) loss usually due to silent stenosis. Therefore, assessment of relevant risk factors of VA monitoring may provide insight into potential therapeutic targets for stenosis and thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of cardiovascular risk factors (including inflammation and mineral metabolism dysfunctions) on the failure of internal AVF in HD patients. 128 HD patients with internal AVF were included in the study and followed up for two years. At baseline, VA morphology and function were followed by Doppler ultrasonography and serum albumin, prealbumine, C-reactive protein, orosomucoid, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, bone-type alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand were measured. At baseline, 50 stenoses were detected but none of them required any intervention. Age and biological parameters did not significantly differ between patients with or without VA stenosis. Over the two year- follow up, VA thrombosis occurred in 19 patients. Preexisting stenosis of VA was present in 9/19 patients (47.3% of cases) (chi-square = 3.708, p = 0.0538). Despite the low rate of events, phosphorus [1.75 (0.95–2.77) vs 1.42 (0.47–3.22) mmol/L, p = 0.0416], Calcium x Phosphorus product [4.00 (2.00–5.90) vs 3.40 (1.10–6.80) mmol2/L2, p = 0.0676] and parathyroid hormone [165.00 (1.00–944.00) vs 79.50 (1.00–846.60) ng/L, p = 0.0814) levels were higher in the 19 thrombotic patients whereas all other biological parameters did not significantly differ. These results, which confirm that VA thrombosis occurs more frequently upon preexisting stenosis, also demonstrate that mineral metabolism disorders, compared to inflammation, may contribute to VA dysfunction leading to thrombosis.

Abstract
Background Chronic renal failure (CRF) and hemodialysis (HD) accumulate an inflammatory milieu, contributing to increased systemic and airway oxidative stress that may lead to lung damage. Objectives This study was designed to assess exhaled hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lung function and whole blood chemiluminescence in HD and CRF patients and healthy controls. Methods The study included 59 patients (Polyamide S™ or Hemophan® membranes-19, cuprophane-16, hemodiafiltration-14, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-10), 16 CRF and 16 healthy controls. The assessment of lung function included FVC (forced vital capacity), FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second) and DLCOc (single breath CO diffusing capacity). Exhaled H2O2 was determined fluorometrically and resting and n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) luminol-dependent whole blood chemiluminescence (LBCL) were measured simultaneously. Results Only cuprophane HD patients presented decreased lung function (FVC 63.8±17.4%, FEV1 55.9±20.3 and DLCOc 72.1± 9.3 % of predicted; p<0.05 vs. controls). These patients exhaled the highest H2O2 levels in comparison to CRF (p<0.01): median 0.36 μM (range R: 0.09–0.56 μM) and controls (p<0.05): 0.17 μM (0.2–17.8 μM). These levels were not decreased during the HD session: preHD 1.25 μM (0.2–16.5μM) and postHD 1.3 μM (0.2–17.8 μM). As a marker of systemic oxidative stress, fMLP-induced LBCL (total light emission) was increased in these patients (1570.6 aUxs /10phagocytes; R: 274.2–8598.9) and in the CRF group (2389.4 aUxs /10phagocytes; R: 491.5–6184; p<0.05 vs. controls). Other patient groups did not express elevated LBCL and revealed decreased exhaled H2O2 after a session. Conclusions An increased oxidative burden in the lungs may contribute to functional lung impairment in patients dialyzed with a cellulose membrane. Biocompatible dialysis with other modalities might reduce airway-borne oxidative stress and is not related with lung damage.

Naturally Occurring Compounds: New Potential Weapons against Oxidative Stress in Chronic Kidney Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:ijms18071481. [PMID: 28698529 PMCID: PMC5535971 DOI: 10.3390/ijms18071481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2017] [Revised: 06/22/2017] [Accepted: 07/08/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is a well-described imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense system of cells and tissues. The overproduction of free radicals damages all components of the cell (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids) and modifies their physiological functions. As widely described, this condition is a biochemical hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may dramatically influence the progression of renal impairment and the onset/development of major systemic comorbidities including cardiovascular diseases. This state is exacerbated by exposure of the body to uremic toxins and dialysis, a treatment that, although necessary to ensure patients' survival, exposes cells to non-physiological contact with extracorporeal circuits and membranes with consequent mitochondrial and anti-redox cellular system alterations. Therefore, it is undeniable that counteracting oxidative stress machinery is a major pharmacological target in medicine/nephrology. As a consequence, in recent years several new naturally occurring compounds, administered alone or integrated with classical therapies and an appropriate lifestyle, have been proposed as therapeutic tools for CKD patients. In this paper, we reviewed the recent literature regarding the "pioneering" in vivo testing of these agents and their inclusion in small clinical trials performed in patients affected by CKD.

Abstract
Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin resulting from the metabolism of dietary tryptophan which accumulates in patients with impaired renal function, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). IS is a well-known nephrovascular toxin but little is known about its effects on central nervous system (CNS) cells. Considering the growing interest in the field of CNS comorbidities in CKD, we studied the effect of IS on CNS cells. IS (15–60 μM) treatment in C6 astrocyte cells increased reactive oxygen species release and decreased nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) activation, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 expression. Moreover, IS increased Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB) activation in these cells. Similiar observations were made in primary mouse astrocytes and mixed glial cells. Inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 release and nitrotyrosine formation were increased by IS (15–60 μM) in primary mouse astrocytes and mixed glial cells. IS increased AhR and NF-kB nuclear translocation and reduced Nrf2 translocation and HO-1 expression in primary glial cells. In addition, IS induced cell death in neurons in a dose dependent fashion. Injection of IS (800 mg/kg, i.p.) into mice induced histological changes and increased COX-2 expression and nitrotyrosine formation in thebrain tissue. Taken together, our results show a significant contribution of IS in generating a neurotoxic enviroment and it could also have a potential role in neurodegeneration. IS could be considered also a potential therapeutical target for CKD-associated neurodegenerative complications.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and its development and progression are affected by various factors. The aim of the present study was to identify the risk factors for SHPT in patients with CKD. A retrospective study was performed in 498 patients (305 males and 193 females) with CKD, observed in the The First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2008 and December 2012. The demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected. Patients were divided into the SHPT group (n=424) with elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) expression levels and the control group (n=74) with normal serum PTH expression levels. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were employed to explore the risk factors for SHPT. Serum PTH expression levels in women with CKD were significantly higher than in men (P=0.047). Serum PTH expression levels were positively correlated with the expression levels of serum creatinine (P<0.01), phosphorus (P<0.01), C-reactive protein (P<0.05), triglyceride (P<0.05), cholesterol (P<0.05) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05), but were negatively correlated with the expression levels of hemoglobin (P<0.05), calcium (P<0.01) and CO2 combining power (P<0.01) in patients with CKD. Multivariate analysis showed that the serum expression levels of creatinine [µmol/l; odds radio (OR), 1.003; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.002-1.004; P=0.001] and phosphorus (mmol/l; OR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.254-3.826; P=0.006) in patients with CKD significantly influenced serum PTH expression levels. The SHPT risk factors include female gender, low calcium, high phosphorus, acidosis, anemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and micro-inflammation, with blood phosphorus and creatinine being independent risk factors.

Abstract
Indoxyl sulphate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin that results from the metabolism of dietary tryptophan normally excreted by kidney through the proximal tubules. Thus the toxin accumulates in the blood of patients with impaired renal function such as in chronic kidney disease (CKD). High IS serum levels in patients with CKD suggest its involvement in CKD progression and in the onset of complications. Its presence in plasma is also a powerful predictor of overall and cardiovascular morbidity/mortality. IS is a well known nephrovascular toxin but very little is known regarding its effects on the immune system and in particular during inflammation. In this study we examined the effect of IS on macrophage activation in response to lipopolysaccharide from E. coli (LPS), a gram negative bacterial endotoxin associated with inflammation and septic shock. To simulate the uremic condition, J774A.1 macrophages were incubated with IS at concentrations observed in uremic patients (1000-62.5 µM) both alone and during LPS challenge. IS alone induced release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), through a mechanism involving pro- and anti-oxidant systems, and alteration in intracellular calcium homeostasis. When added to J774A.1 macrophages in presence of LPS, IS significantly increased the nitric oxide (NO) release, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. IS pre-treatment was also associated with an increase in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by macrophages stimulated with LPS. Mechanistic studies revealed that IS increased LPS-induced NF-kB nuclear translocation, ROS release and altered calcium concentrations, mainly because of mitochondrial calcium overloading. Moreover also in primary mouse peritoneal macrophages IS enhances the inflammatory response to LPS increasing ROS, NO, iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-6 and NF-kB levels. This study provides evidences that IS stimulates macrophage function and enhances inflammatory reasponse associated with LPS, thus contributing to altered immune response dysfunctions observed in CKD.

Apocynin-treatment reverses hyperoxaluria induced changes in NADPH oxidase system expression in rat kidneys: a transcriptional study. PLoS One 2012; 7:e47738.

Abstract
Purpose We have previously shown that production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an important contributor to renal injury and inflammation following exposure to oxalate (Ox) or calcium-oxalate (CaOx) crystals. The present study was conducted, utilizing global transcriptome analyses, to determine the effect of Apocynin on changes in the NADPH oxidase system activated in kidneys of rats fed a diet leading to hyperoxaluria and CaOx crystal deposition. Approach Age-, sex- and weight-matched rats were either fed regular rat chow or regular rat chow supplemented with 5% w/w hydroxy-L-proline (HLP). Half of the rats on the HLP diet were also placed on Apocynin-supplemented H2O. After 28 days, each rat was euthanized, their kidneys freshly explanted and dissected to obtain both cortex and medulla tissues. Total RNA was extracted from each tissue and subjected to genomic microarrays to obtain global transcriptome data. KEGG was used to identify gene clusters with differentially expressed genes. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm protein expressions of selected genes. Results Genes encoding both membrane- and cytosolic-NADPH oxidase complex-associated proteins, together with p21rac and Rap1a, were coordinately up-regulated significantly in both renal medulla and cortex tissues in the HLP-fed rats compared to normal healthy untreated controls. Activation of NADPH oxidase appears to occur via the angiotensin-II/angiotensin-II receptor-2 pathway, although the DAG-PKC pathway of neutrophils may also contribute. Immuno histochemical staining confirmed up-regulated gene expressions. Simultaneously, genes encoding ROS scavenger proteins were down-regulated. HLP-fed rats receiving Apocynin had a complete reversal in the differential-expression of the NADPH oxidase system genes, despite showing similar levels of hyperoxaluria. Conclusions A strong up-regulation of an oxidative/respiratory burst involving the NADPH oxidase system, activated via the angiotensin-II and most likely the DAG-PKC pathways, occurs in kidneys of hyperoxaluric rats. Apocynin treatment reversed this activation without affecting the levels of hyperoxaluria.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated on (i) the role of gp91(phox)/NOX2 in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and (ii) the link between clotting activation and ROS production in this setting. RESULTS The study was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from HD patients randomized to polysulphon/polyamide (S-group, n=30) or ethylene-vinyl-alcohol (EVAL) membrane (E-group, n=30) treatment and from healthy subjects (control group, n=15). ROS generation was increased in PBMCs of HD patients compared with healthy subjects. S-group showed higher levels of intracellular ROS generation than control, whereas E-group did not. In addition, S-group displayed an increase in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity compared with E-group and healthy subjects. A further increase in NADPH activity shortly after HD treatment was observed only in S-group. The plasma levels of the prothrombin fragment F1+2, a marker of in vivo clotting activation, were significantly higher in S-group than in E-group. Moreover, a heightened thrombin generation was recorded in the plasma of S-group. Intracellular ROS production correlated with NADPH oxidase activity and coagulation priming in HD patients. The in vitro validation study demonstrated that incubation of PBMCs with activated FX induced a significant increase in intracellular ROS production, superoxide generation, and gp91(phox)/NOX2 expression. INNOVATION The pivotal role of NADPH oxidase in the upregulation of ROS in HD patients makes this enzyme a potential target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of HD-related oxidative stress. CONCLUSION The EVAL membrane, by reducing clotting activation, inhibits gp91(phox)/NOX2-related ROS production in HD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported an increase in expressions of mRNA of Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) in leukocytes of hemodialysis (HD) patients, and speculated that the increase is associated with oxidative stress on the leukocyte membrane due to the HD process. METHODS Expressions of Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA in leukocytes, contents of plasma SOD, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in leukocyte and erythrocyte membranes, respectively, were examined in 25 HD patients and 14 healthy volunteers. These were also determined after using a vitamin E-coated dialyzer (VE dialyzer) for 4 weeks. RESULTS All values were significantly higher in HD patients. A significant correlation was found between leukocyte Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA expression and membrane MDA. After using the VE dialyzer, all values were significantly lowered, showing a significant correlation between changing rate of leukocyte Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA expression and membrane MDA. CONCLUSION In HD patients, oxidative stress is generated on the leukocyte membrane, and the level of Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA in leukocytes can be a useful oxidative stress marker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II (ANG II) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) exert genotoxic effects in vitro which were prevented by the ANG II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, candesartan. In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) the incidence of genomic damage is increased. A stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system and accumulation of AGEs could be involved. METHODS We tested whether oral co-administration of candesartan modulates enhanced DNA damage in ESRD patients. Fifteen maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with mild hypertension were treated with candesartan for 4.5 months. Fourteen MHD patients served as conventionally treated uremic controls. DNA damage was measured as micronucleus frequency (MNF) in peripheral blood lymphocytes and evaluated three times before candesartan therapy and afterwards every 6 weeks. RESULTS Compared to 14 healthy controls, MNF at baseline was significantly elevated in MHD patients. While in the conventionally treated MHD patients the enhanced DNA damage persisted, the co-administration of candesartan ameliorated the genomic damage significantly and independently of blood pressure changes. CONCLUSION Blockade of AT1 receptors with candesartan can reduce DNA damage in MHD patients. Long-term studies in larger patient groups are needed to investigate whether the improved genomic damage lowers atherosclerotic complications and cancer development.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during hemodialysis treatment cause dialysis complications because of the high reactivity of ROS. To prevent dialysis complications caused by oxidative stress, it is important to evaluate the generation and dismutation of ROS during hemodialysis treatment. In this study, our aim was to develop a device to determine superoxide (O(2)(-)) generated inside a dialysis hollow fiber, and also to examine whether this device could detect O(2)(-) separated from plasma using hollow fibers. Experimental apparatus was set up so that hypoxanthine (HX) solution flowed inside the hollow fibers and 2-methyl-6-p-methoxyphenylethynyl-imidazopyrazinone (MPEC) solution flowed outside the hollow fibers. Then, xanthine oxidase (XOD) solution was added to the HX solution to generate O(2)(-), and chemiluminescence resulting from the reaction of O(2)(-) with MPEC was measured with an optical fiber. Chemiluminescence intensity was measured at different HX concentrations, and the peak area of relative luminescence intensity yielded a first-order correlation with the HX concentration. Based on the relationship between HX and O(2)(-) concentrations determined by the cytochrome c reduction method, the relative luminescence intensity measured by this device was linearly dependent on the O(2)(-) concentration inside the hollow fibers. After modifications were made to the device, XOD solution injection into plasma including HX resulted in an increase in the relative luminescence intensity. We concluded that this novel device based on chemiluminescence is capable of determining aqueous O(2)(-) generated inside a hollow fiber and also of detecting O(2)(-) in plasma.

Abstract
Recent studies showed that hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) enhanced bone markers expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) implicated in osteoblastic differentiation. This study aimed at investigating the role of NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular calcification processes. A7r5 rat VSMCs were incubated with beta-glycerophosphate (10 mm) or uremic serum to induce a diffuse mineralization. H(2)O(2) production by VSMCs was determinated by chemiluminescence. NAD(P)H oxidase sub-unit (p22(phox)), Cbfa-1, ERK phosphorylation and bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expressions were measured by Western blotting. VSMCs exhibited higher production of H(2)O(2) and early expression of p22(phox) with beta-glycerophosphate or uremic serum within 24 h of treatment. beta-glycerophosphate-induced oxidative stress was associated with Cbfa-1 expression followed by ALP expression and activity, meanwhile the VSMCs expressing ALP diffusely calcified their extracellular matrix. Interestingly, diphenyleneiodonium partly prevented the osteoblastic differentiation. Results from this model strongly suggest a major implication of vascular NAD(P)H oxidase in vascular calcification supported by VSMCs osteoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
The accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) due to non-enzymic glycation of proteins has been implicated in several pathophysiologies associated with ageing and diabetes. The formation of AGE is accelerated in hyperglycaemic conditions, which alter the structure and function of long-lived proteins. Thus inhibition of the formation of AGE is believed to play a role in the prevention of diabetic complications. In the present study we evaluated the antiglycating effect of aqueous extracts of various plant-based foods. The effect of aqueous extracts of these agents in terms of their ability to prevent the accumulation of AGE due to fructose-mediatedin vitroglycation of eye lens soluble proteins was investigated. The degree of protein glycation in the absence and presence of dietary extracts was assessed by different complementary methods, i.e. non-tryptophan AGE fluorescence, AGE-induced cross-linking by SDS-PAGE and glyco-oxidative damage by carbonyl assay. Five out of the seventeen agents tested showed significant inhibitory potential againstin vitroprotein glycation in a dose-dependent manner. Prominent among them were ginger, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper and green tea, which inhibitedin vitroAGE formation to lens proteins 40–90 % at 1·0 mg/ml concentration. Assessing their potential to reduce the amount of glycated protein using boronate affinity chromatography and also their ability to prevent the formation of specific antigenic-AGE structures by immunodetection further substantiated the importance of ginger, cumin and cinnamon in reducing AGE burden. These findings indicate the potential of some dietary components to prevent and/or inhibit protein glycation. Thus these dietary agents may be able to be exploited for controlling AGE-mediated diabetic pathological conditionsin vivo.

Abstract
Hemodialysis patients have an elevated genomic damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and an increased cancer incidence, possibly due to accumulation of uremic toxins like advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Because the vitamin B1 prodrug benfotiamine reduces AGE levels in experimental diabetes, and dialysis patients often suffer from vitamin B1 deficiency, we conducted two consecutive studies supplementing hemodialysis patients with benfotiamine. In both studies, genomic damage was measured as micronucleus frequency of PBLs before and at three time-points after initiation of benfotiamine supplementation. AGE-associated fluorescence in plasma, and in the second study additionally, the antioxidative capacity of plasma was analyzed. Benfotiamine significantly lowered the genomic damage of PBLs in hemodialysis patients of both studies independent of changes in plasma AGE levels. The second study gave a hint to the mechanism, as the antioxidative capacity of the plasma of the treated patients clearly increased, which might ameliorate the DNA damage.

Abstract
While it is well known that hemodialysis (HD) patients with end stage renal failure are exposed to high oxidative stress, there is not a general opinion regarding whether antioxidant activity is high or low in these patients. We evaluated the variation of plasma hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (p-HRSA) by a single-session of HD in 69 patients by using a new system, reactive flow-injection electron spin resonance. And then comparing p-HRSA with their biochemical parameters, we tried to elucidate what components affected p-HRSA in the HD patients. The average of p-HRSA significantly increased after HD and the variation of p-HRSA by HD was correlated with that of plasma total protein (TP). In 5 patients however, their p-HRSA decreased after HD, in spite of increasing TP. In pre-HD, the p-HRSA values and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of low-molecular weight fraction of plasma were significantly higher in these 5 patients than in patients whose p-HRSA increased after HD. These 5 patients were in an inflammatory state. These findings suggest that p-HRSA is mainly affected by TP, but caution should be exercised in patients who have high p-HRSA before HD and whose p-HRSA does not increase after HD.

Abstract
Low-grade systemic inflammation is an important potential factor in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Insulin resistance and diabetes, characterized by impaired skeletal muscle glucose uptake or excess hepatic glucose production, are in turn relevant contributors to morbidity and mortality in ESRD patients. Oxidative stress is increased in ESRD, in conservative therapy as well as hemodialysis treatment. Recent evidence suggests that oxidative stress contributes, at least in part, to both inflammation and insulin resistance by modulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines and adipokines in monocytes and in adipose tissue. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of inflammation and oxidative stress, and the effects of their interplay on insulin resistance in ESRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High levels of glycated and lipoxidated proteins and peptides in the body are repeatedly associated with chronic diseases. These molecules are strongly associated with activation of a specific receptor called RAGE and a long-lasting exaggerated level of inflammation in the body. METHODS PubMed reports over 5000 papers plus >13,500 articles about the related HbA(1c), most of them published in the past 5 years. Most of the available abstracts have been read and approximately 800 full papers have been studied. RESULTS RAGE, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules and receptor for advanced glycation end products, known since 1992, functions as a master switch, induces sustained activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), suppresses a series of endogenous autoregulatory functions, and converts long-lasting proinflammatory signals into sustained cellular dysfunction and disease. Its activation is associated with high levels of dysfunctioning proteins in body fluids and tissues, and is strongly associated with a series of diseases from allergy and Alzheimers to rheumatoid arthritis and urogenital disorders. Heat treatment, irradiation, and ionization of foods increase the content of dysfunctioning molecules. CONCLUSIONS More than half of the studies are performed in diabetes and chronic renal diseases; there are few studies in other diseases. Most of our knowledge is based on animal studies and in vitro studies. These effects are worth further exploration both experimentally and clinically. An avoidance of foods rich in deranged proteins and peptides, and the consumption of antioxidants, especially polyphenols, seem to counteract such a development.

Abstract
Chronic oxidative stress that characterizes uremia has potentially devastating effects on the vasculature and has been advocated in the pathogenesis of accelerated atherosclerosis in this disease. Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate expression and activity of key enzymes of vascular oxidative stress (eg, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NAD{P}H] oxidase) and that dissect their interactions with signalling pathways of inflammation. The finding that NAD(P)H oxidase is upregulated in experimental uremia has important consequences from a physiologic and a therapeutic standpoint. In addition, identification of novel proteins involved in systemic oxidative stress has shed some new light on the pathogenesis of vascular disease. p66(shc) is a cytoplasmic protein that is expressed in a wide range of cell types. Initially believed to be involved in signalling pathways that regulate cell growth and oxidative stress, it has now been shown to play a pivotal role in promoting endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Although a specific role in uremia-related vascular disease has not yet been shown, available data in humans suggest involvement of p66(shc) in clinical conditions associated with increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nicotinamide, N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (Met2PY) and N-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide (Met4PY) are biological metabolites of the intracellular coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) that can potentially inhibit poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1; DNA repair enzyme). Our research was aimed at establishing whether chronic renal failure (CRF) in children leads to the elevation of plasma NAD metabolites sufficient to inhibit PARP-1 activity. Nicotinamide, Met2PY and Met4PY plasma and erythrocyte concentrations were measured in 25 children with CRF and in 19 healthy children. The effect of these NAD metabolites on PARP-1 activity was studied in vitro. We found that plasma concentration of all NAD metabolites (nicotinamide, Met2PY, Met4PY) in children with CRF could reach the concentration of 2, 30 and 10 microM as compared to 0.2, 1 and 0.5 microM, respectively, in healthy children. The concentration of nicotinamide metabolites correlated positively with plasma creatinine concentration and negatively with creatinine clearance in children with CRF. We found that Met2PY, Met4PY and nicotinamide inhibited in vitro PARP-1 activity with IC50 values of 2.1, 0.18 and 0.12 mM, respectively. Our data indicate that NAD metabolites accumulate in plasma of children with CRF and their combined effect could lead to the inhibition of PARP-1 activity. NAD metabolites could be particularly harmful in children due to higher DNA turnover than in adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examines the susceptibility to oxidation and the ability to stimulate reactive oxygen species of LDL from hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. It was also designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of HDL from uremic patients. DESIGN AND METHODS Lipoprotein properties were determined in 28 HD patients, 30 CAPD patients and 30 control subjects by spectrophotometric, chemiluminescence and electrophoresis methods. RESULTS CAPD LDL were more resistant to oxidation than control LDL. HD and control LDL, in contrast to CAPD LDL, stimulated reactive oxygen species generation in granulocytes. The HDL ability to protect LDL against oxidation was impaired in renal patients. CONCLUSIONS The risk of atherosclerosis development in patients with renal failure does not appear to be related to less resistance of LDL to oxidation, but rather to the decreased HDL antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
During the past decade, hemodialysis (HD)-induced inflammation has been linked to the development of long-term morbidity in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on regular renal replacement therapy. Because interleukins and anaphylatoxins produced during HD sessions are potent activators for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, an example of an enzyme that is responsible for overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), this may constitute a link between leukocyte activation and cell or organ toxicity. Oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance between oxidant production and antioxidant defense mechanisms, has been documented in ESRD patients using lipid and/or protein oxidative markers. Characterization of HD-induced oxidative stress has included identification of potential activators for NADPH oxidase. Uremia per se could prime phagocyte oxidative burst. HD, far from improving the oxidative status, results in an enhancement of ROS owing to hemoincompatibility of the dialysis system, hemoreactivity of the membrane, and trace amounts of endotoxins in the dialysate. In addition, the HD process is associated with an impairment in antioxidant mechanisms. The resulting oxidative stress has been implicated in long-term complications including anemia, amyloidosis, accelerated atherosclerosis, and malnutrition. Prevention of oxidative stress in HD might focus on improving the hemocompatibility of the dialysis system, supplementation of deficient patients with antioxidants, and modulation of NADPH oxidase by pharmacologic approaches.

Abstract
Oxidative stress during sepsis induces tissue damage, leading to organ dysfunction and high mortality. The antioxidant effects of vitamin E have been reported in several diseases, but not in sepsis. Statins have cholesterol-independent anti-inflammatory effects that are related to a decrease of isoprenoid proteins and oxidative stress. Therefore, we evaluated superoxide anion (O2- degree) production and ex vivo effects of vitamin E and simvastatin in sepsis. Fourteen healthy volunteers, 14 intensive care unit (ICU) nonseptic, and 14 ICU patients with sepsis were included in this prospective study. Plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, and vitamin E levels were determined by routine laboratory tests. Superoxide anion production was measured in the venous blood by chemiluminescence technique after phorbol myristate acetate stimulation. Effects of vitamin E and simvastatin on O2- degree production was investigated ex vivo. Luminescence was indexed to the leukocyte count. We also investigated the in vitro effect of simvastatin on translocation of NADPH oxidase p21 Rac2 subunit in THP-1 monocytic cell line. The ratio of vitamin E/cholesterol + triglycerides was significantly decreased in septic as compared with nonseptic patients and volunteers. The O2- degree production was significantly higher in the group of septic patients than in the others, regardless of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte count. Vitamin E and simvastatin induced ex vivo an inhibition of O2- degree production of 20% and 40% respectively. In vitro, simvastatin inhibited phorbol myristate acetate-induced- O2- degree production by monocytes through NADPH oxidase inactivation. We conclude that sepsis is associated with a significant decrease in vitamin E and an overproduction of O2- degree. Vitamin E and simvastatin lessen this phenomenon through NADPH oxidase inactivation.
