Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are public health problems that cause a high socioeconomic burden worldwide. In recent years, the landscape of AKI etiology has shifted: Emerging evidence has demonstrated that DM is an independent risk factor for the onset of AKI, while an alternative perspective considers AKI as a bona fide complication of DM. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically characterize the features of AKI in DM. In this review, we summarized the epidemiology of AKI in DM. While focusing on circulation- and tissue-specific microenvironment changes after DM, we described the active cellular and molecular mechanisms of increased kidney susceptibility to AKI under DM stress. We also reviewed the current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for AKI in DM recommended in the clinic. Updated recognition of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and medications of AKI in DM is believed to reveal a path to mitigate the frequency of AKI and DM comorbidity that will ultimately improve the quality of life in DM patients.

Abstract
Preclinical models of human disease provide powerful tools for therapeutic discovery but have limitations. This problem is especially apparent in the field of acute kidney injury (AKI), in which clinical trial failures have been attributed to inaccurate modelling performed largely in rodents. Multidisciplinary efforts such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project are now starting to identify molecular subtypes of human AKI. In addition, over the past decade, there have been developments in human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids as well as zebrafish, rodent and large animal models of AKI. These organoid and AKI models are being deployed at different stages of preclinical therapeutic development. However, the traditionally siloed, preclinical investigator-driven approaches that have been used to evaluate AKI therapeutics to date rarely account for the limitations of the model systems used and have given rise to false expectations of clinical efficacy in patients with different AKI pathophysiologies. To address this problem, there is a need to develop more flexible and integrated approaches, involving teams of investigators with expertise in a range of different model systems, working closely with clinical investigators, to develop robust preclinical evidence to support more focused interventions in patients with AKI.

Abstract
Since there is crosstalk in functions of the heart and kidney, acute or chronic injury in one of the two organs provokes adaptive and/or maladaptive responses in both organs, leading to cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by acute heart failure is referred to as type 1 CRS, and a frequent cause of this type of CRS is acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of AMI and also the risk of AKI of various causes. However, there have been only a few studies in which animal models of diabetes were used to examine how diabetes modulates AMI-induced AKI. In this review, we summarize findings regarding the mechanisms of type 1 CRS and the impact of diabetes on both AMI and renal susceptibility to AKI and we discuss mechanisms by which diabetes modulates AMI-induced AKI. Hemodynamic alterations induced by AMI could be augmented by diabetes via its detrimental effect on infarct size and contractile function of the non-infarcted region in the heart. Diabetes increases susceptibility of renal cells to hypoxia and oxidative stress by modulation of signaling pathways that regulate cell survival and autophagy. Recent studies have shown that diabetes mellitus even at early stage of cardiomyopathy/nephropathy predisposes the kidney to AMI-induced AKI, in which activation of toll-like receptors and reactive oxygen species derived from NADPH oxidases are involved. Further analysis of crosstalk between diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic kidney disease is necessary for obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of modulation of the AMI-AKI axis by diabetes.

Abstract
Cellular autophagy is a protective mechanism where cells degrade damaged organelles to maintain intracellular homeostasis. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is considered as programmed cell death. Interestingly, autophagy inhibits apoptosis by degrading apoptosis regulators. In hypertension, an imbalance of autophagy and apoptosis regulators can lead to renal injury and dysfunction. Previously, we have reported that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mutant mice are protective against renal damage, in part, due to reduced oxidative stress and inflammation. However, the detailed mechanism remained elusive. In this study, we tested the hypothesis of whether TLR4 mutation reduces Ang-II-induced renal injury by inciting autophagy and suppressing apoptosis in the hypertensive kidney. Male mice with normal TLR4 expression (TLR4N, C3H/HeOuJ) and mutant TLR4 (TLR4M, C3H/HeJLps-d) aged 10-12 weeks were infused with Ang-II (1000 ng/kg/d) for 4 weeks to create hypertension. Saline infused appropriate control were used. Blood pressure was increased along with increased TLR4 expression in TLR4N mice receiving Ang-II compared to TLR4N control. Autophagy was downregulated, and apoptosis was upregulated in TLR4N mice treated with Ang-II. Also, kidney injury markers plasma lipocalin-2 (LCN2) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) were upregulated in TLR4N mice treated with Ang-II. Besides, increased nuclear translocation and activity of NF-kB were measured in Ang-II-treated TLR4N mice. TLR4M mice remained protected against all these insults in hypertension. Together, these results suggest that Ang-II-induced TLR4 activation suppresses autophagy, induces apoptosis and kidney injury through in part by activating NF-kB signaling, and TLR4 mutation protects the kidney from Ang-II-induced hypertensive injury.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor long-term outcome. However, the short-term prognosis of AKI in patients with ST-elevation AMI (STEMI) needs to be explored further. We assessed this relationship between these patients and short-term mortality in relation to AKI and chronic kidney disease (CKD). All data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves, logistic regression models, and propensity score matching analysis were used to evaluate the associations between AKI in patients with STEMI and outcomes. A total of 1031 patients with STEMI met the inclusion criteria. For 28-day mortality, in the multivariable logistic regression models, the odds ratio (95% CI) of group 2 (AKI but no CKD) and group 3 (AKI in the presence of CKD) were 3.24 (1.46-7.18) and 4.57 (1.83-11.37), respectively, compared with group 1 (no AKI and no CKD). Comorbid AKI increased the risk of short-term mortality among patients with STEMI, especially for those with AKI in the presence of CKD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden insult of the kidney that happens within a short period of time, which is associated with poor prognosis in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Subclinical AKI is a condition in which tubular damage biomarkers [Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)] are positive even in the absence of elevated serum creatinine. Recent studies reported that SGLT-2 inhibitors could protect against subclinical AKI in diabetic patients by elevating the level of β-Hydroxybutyric acid (βOHB). This study aims to examine the reno-protective potential of empagliflozin (EMPA) against MI associated AKI in diabetic rats. Eighty Albino Wistar rats were divided into: (1) nondiabetic sham group (CS), (2) nondiabetic + myocardial infarction group (CM), (3) diabetic + myocardial infarction group (DM) and (4) diabetic + myocardial infarction + empagliflozin group (DME). At the end of the experiment, blood samples and kidneys were collected for biochemical analysis, histopathological, and immunohistochemical studies. After induction of myocardial infarction, there was a significant decrease in serum creatinine and NGAL levels in DME. After EMPA administration, mesangial matrix index and glomerular area were lowered in DME if compared to DM group. As a marker for tubular injury, we used anti-NGAL and anti-KIM-1 immunohistochemistry. Strong positive reaction was noticed in DM group if compared to DME group which showed weak positive reaction. Levels of renal mRNAs [NGAL; KIM-1; Nox-2,4; TLR-2,4; MyD88; TNF- α and IL-1 β, 18] in DME group were reduced significantly compared to DM group. In conclusion, empagliflozin can protect against subclinical acute kidney injury in diabetic albino Wistar rats after myocardial infarction induction, which could improve the clinical outcome of SGLT-2 inhibitors in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Noncoding RNAs are interweaved in pathological processes in myocardial ischemia (MI), such as long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of this study was to figure out the role of Testis-specific transcript Y-linked 15 (TTTY15) and let-7i-5p in cell model of MI in cardiomyocytes. Hypoxia-induced cell injury was assessed by Cell counting kit 8 assay, flow cytometry, commercial kits and western blotting. As a result, hypoxia stress induced inhibition on cell proliferation, glucose uptake, and ATP production, and promotion on apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and lactic acid production in human cardiomyocyte AC16 cells. During hypoxia injury, expression of TTTY15 and let-7i-5p was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and TTTY15 was upregulated, accompanied with let-7i-5p downregulation. Functionally, either silencing TTTY15 or overexpressing let-7i-5p could attenuate hypoxia-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial energy metabolism dysfunction in AC16 cells. Moreover, there was an interaction between TTTY15 and let-7i-5p via target binding, as evidenced by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Knockdown of let-7i-5p could counteract the protective role of TTTY15 deletion in hypoxic AC16 cells. Meanwhile, toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was validated by western blotting. Expression of TLR3, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and phosphorylated p65 was promoted in hypoxic AC16 cells, which was abrogated by TTTY15 silencing along with let-7i-5p upregulation. Collectively, TTTY15 knockdown protects cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial energy metabolism dysfunction in vitro through let-7i-5p/TLR3/NF-κB pathway to suppress.

Abstract
Background As an inodilator, milrinone is commonly used for patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery because of its effectiveness in decreasing the cardiac index and mitral regurgitation. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies from the past 20 years to evaluate the impact of milrinone on mortality in patients who undergo CABG surgery. Methods We performed a systematic literature search on the application of milrinone in patients who underwent CABG surgery in studies published between 1997 and 2017 in BioMed Central, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register. The included studies evaluated milrinone groups compared to groups receiving either placebo or standard treatment and further compared the systemic administration. Results The network meta-analysis included 723 patients from 16 randomized clinical trials. Overall, there was no significant difference in mortality between the milrinone group and the placebo/standard care group when patients underwent CABG surgery. In addition, 9 trials (with 440 randomized patients), 4 trials (with 212 randomized patients), and 10 trials (with 470 randomized patients) reported that the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia was lower in the milrinone group than in the placebo/standard care group. Between the milrinone treatment and placebo/standard care groups, the occurrence of myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia was significantly different. However, the occurrence of stroke and renal failure, the duration of inotropic support (h), the need for an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), and mechanical ventilation (h) between these two groups showed no differences. Conclusions Based on the current results, compared with placebo, milrinone might be unable to decrease mortality in adult CABG surgical patients but can significantly ameliorate the occurrence of MI, myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia. These results provide evidence for the further clinical application of milrinone and of therapeutic strategies for CABG surgery. However, along with milrinone application in clinical use, sufficient data from randomized clinical trials need to be collected, and the potential benefits and adverse effects should be analyzed and reevaluated.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complication of diabetes that is increasing in prevalence in China. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying microRNAs (miRs) may represent a useful tool in the development of therapies for DN. Here, we report that EVs released by adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) during DN contain a microRNA, miR-26a-5p, that suppresses DN. Using bioinformatic analyses, we identified differentially expressed miRs in EVs from ADSCs and in DN and predicted downstream regulatory target genes. We isolated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adipose tissues and collected EVs from the ADSCs. We exposed mouse glomerular podocytes and MP5 cells to high glucose (HG), ADSC-derived EVs, miR-26a-5p inhibitor/antagomir, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plasmids, or the NF-κB pathway activator (phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, or PMA). We used the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry to investigate the impact of miR-26a-5p on cell viability and apoptosis and validated the results of these assays with in vivo experiments in nude mice. We found that in DN, miR-26a-5p is expressed at very low levels, whereas TLR4 is highly expressed. Of note, EVs from ADSCs ameliorated the pathological symptoms of DN in diabetic mice and transferred miR-26a-5p to HG-induced MP5 cells, improving viability while suppressing the apoptosis of MP5 cells. We also found that miR-26a-5p protects HG-induced MP5 cells from injury by targeting TLR4, inactivating the NF-κB pathway, and downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Moreover, ADSC-derived EVs transferred miR-26a-5p to mouse glomerular podocytes, which ameliorated DN pathology. These findings suggest that miR-26a-5p from ADSC-derived EVs protects against DN.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) predicts poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor of AKI. Recent clinical studies have shown the beneficial effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with DM. We recently reported that canagliflozin normalized susceptibility of diabetic rats to AKI after acute MI via β-hydroxybutyrate-mediated suppression of NOX expression. Here we examined whether the same renoprotective effect is shared by empagliflozin. Serum creatinine levels were not changed by MI induced by coronary artery occlusion in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, and OLETF, obese type 2 diabetic rats. However, immunohistochemistry revealed that MI increased renal expression of NGAL and KIM-1, early markers of tubular injury, by 3.2-fold and 2.6-fold, respectively, in OLETF. These increases in injury markers were not observed in LETO. Pretreatment with empagliflozin of OLETF for 2 weeks improved hyperglycemia, increased blood β-hydroxybutyrate level, and suppressed MI-induced expression of NGAL and KIM-1. Empagliflozin suppressed upregulation of NOX2 and NOX4 in the kidney of OLETF. Taken together with the results of our previous study, it was concluded that treatment with the SGLT2 inhibitor protects the diabetic kidney from MI-induced AKI.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor of acute kidney injury after myocardial infarction (MI), a form of cardiorenal syndrome. Recent clinical trials have shown that a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor improved both cardiac and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but effects of an SGLT2 inhibitor on cardiorenal syndrome remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats [OLETF]) and control (Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats [LETO]) were treated with canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, for 2 weeks. Renal tissues were analyzed at 12 h after MI with or without preoperative fasting. RESULTS Canagliflozin reduced blood glucose levels in OLETF, and blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels were increased by canagliflozin only with fasting. MI increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1 protein levels in the kidney by 3.2- and 1.6-fold, respectively, in OLETF, but not in LETO. The renal messenger ribonucleic acid level of Toll-like receptor 4 was higher in OLETF than in LETO after MI, whereas messenger ribonucleic acid levels of cytokines/chemokines were not significantly different. Levels of lipid peroxides, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)2 and NOX4 proteins after MI were significantly higher in OLETF than in LETO. Canagliflozin with pre-MI fasting suppressed MI-induced renal expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1 in OLETF, together with reductions in lipid peroxides and NOX proteins in the kidney. Blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels before MI were inversely correlated with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin protein levels in OLETF. Pre-incubation with β-hydroxybutyrate attenuated angiotensin II-induced upregulation of NOX4 in NRK-52E cells. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that SGLT2 inhibitor treatment with a fasting period protects kidneys from MI-induced cardiorenal syndrome, possibly by β-hydroxybutyrate-mediated reduction of NOXs and oxidative stress, in type 2 diabetic rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether diabetes contributes to mortality for major types of diseases. METHODS Six National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data cycles (1999 to 2000, 2001 to 2002, 2003 to 2004, 2005 to 2006, 2007 to 2008, and 2009 to 2010) and their linked mortality files were used. A population of 15,513 participants was included according to the availability of diabetes and mortality status. RESULTS Participants with diabetes tended to have higher all-cause mortality and mortality due to cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, cerebrovascular disease, influenza and pneumonia, and kidney disease. Confounder-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models showed that both diagnosed diabetes category (yes or no) and diabetes status (diabetes, prediabetes, or no diabetes) were associated with all-cause mortality and with mortality due to cardiovascular disease, chronic lower respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia, and kidney disease. No associations were found for cancer-, accidents-, or Alzheimer's disease-related mortality. CONCLUSION The current study's findings provide epidemiological evidence that diagnosed diabetes at the baseline is associated with increased mortality risk due to cardiovascular disease, chronic lower respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia, and kidney disease, but not with cancer or Alzheimer's disease.

Tetramethylpyrazine Prevents Contrast-Induced Nephropathy via Modulating Tubular Cell Mitophagy and Suppressing Mitochondrial Fragmentation, CCL2/CCR2-Mediated Inflammation, and Intestinal Injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:7096912. [PMID: 31223426 PMCID: PMC6541991 DOI: 10.1155/2019/7096912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2019] [Revised: 03/26/2019] [Accepted: 04/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI), but detailed pathogenesis and effectual remedy remain elusive. Here, we tested the hypothesis that contrast media (CM) impaired mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in tubules, including mitochondrial fragmentation and mitophagy, induced systemic inflammation, and intestinal injury. Since we previously demonstrated that the natural antioxidant 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) can be a protectant against CIN, we moreover investigated the involved renoprotective mechanisms of TMP. In a well-established CIN rat model, renal functions, urinary AKI biomarkers, and renal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were measured. Mitochondrial damage and mitophagy were detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and western blot. The abundance of Drp1 and Mfn2 by western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate mitochondrial fragmentation. TUNEL staining, TEM, and the abundance of cleaved-caspase 3 and procaspase 9 were used to assay apoptosis. We demonstrated that increased mitophagy, mitochondrial fragmentation, ROS generation, autophagy, and apoptosis occurred in renal tubular cells. These phenomena were accompanied by renal dysfunction and an increased excretion of urinary AKI biomarkers. Meanwhile, CM exposure resulted in concurrent small intestinal injury and villous capillary endothelial apoptosis. The abundance of the inflammatory cytokines CCL2 and CCR2 markedly increased in the renal tubules of CIN rats, accompanied by increased concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in the kidneys and the serum. Interestingly, TMP efficiently prevented CM-induced kidney injury in vivo by reversing these pathological processes. Mechanistically, TMP inhibited the CM-induced activation of the CCL2/CCR2 pathway, ameliorated renal oxidative stress and aberrant mitochondrial dynamics, and modulated mitophagy in tubular cells. In summary, this study demonstrated novel pathological mechanisms of CIN, that is, impairing MQC, inducing CCL2/CCR2-mediated inflammation and small intestinal injury, and provided novel renoprotective mechanisms of TMP; thus, TMP may be a promising therapeutic agent for CIN.

Abstract
The dysregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) participates in the remodeling of electrophysiological/ion channel in cardiomyocytes during arrhythmia. The lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is reported to be highly expressed in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and offsets cardioprotective effects of fentanyl. However, the roles of MALAT1 and its related miRNAs during arrhythmia are poorly understood. In this study, the overexpression of MALAT1 was firstly indicated in cardiomyocytes from arrhythmic model rats. After downregulation of MALAT1 by RNA interference, transient outward potassium current (Ito), peak current density, and the levels of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 channel proteins were increased in rat cardiomyocytes. Then, miR-200c was predicted and convinced to be a direct target of MALAT1, and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was verified to be a target of miR-200c during arrhythmia. HMGB1 expression reduced by the knockdown of MALAT1 was further decreased by miR-200c overexpression. In addition, cardiac Ito, peak current density, and the levels of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 in arrhythmic model rats were detected to be negatively correlated with the expression of HMGB1, and to be positively with miR-200c expression. Taken together, these results suggested that MALAT1 may act as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-200c to upregulate the expression of HMGB1 and downregulate cardiac Ito.
