Abstract
The molecular basis of renal interstitial fibrosis, a major pathological feature of progressive kidney diseases, remains poorly understood. Autophagy has been implicated in renal fibrosis, but whether it promotes or inhibits fibrosis remains controversial. Moreover, it is unclear how autophagy is activated and sustained in renal fibrosis. The present study was designed to address these questions using the in vivo mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction and the in vitro model of hypoxia in renal tubular cells. Both models showed the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and autophagy along with fibrotic changes. Inhibition of autophagy with chloroquine reduced renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction model, whereas chloroquine and autophagy-related gene 7 knockdown decreased fibrotic changes in cultured renal proximal tubular cells, supporting a profibrotic role of autophagy. Notably, pharmacological and genetic inhibition of HIF-1 led to the suppression of autophagy and renal fibrosis in these models. Mechanistically, knock down of BCL2 and adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), a downstream target gene of HIF, decreased autophagy and fibrotic changes during hypoxia in BUMPT cells. Together, these results suggest that HIF-1 may activate autophagy via BNIP3 in renal tubular cells to facilitate the development of renal interstitial fibrosis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Autophagy has been reported to participate in renal fibrosis, but its role and underlying activation mechanism is unclear. In this study, we report the role of HIF-1 in autophagy activation in models of renal fibrosis and further investigate the underlying mechanism.

Asiatic acid alleviates cisplatin-induced renal fibrosis in tumor-bearing mice by improving the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosome pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115122. [PMID: 37413899 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a major side effect of cisplatin treatment of solid tumors in the clinical setting. Long-term low-dose cisplatin administration causes renal fibrosis and inflammation. However, few specific medicines with clinical application value have been developed to reduce or treat the nephrotoxic side effects of cisplatin without affecting its tumor-killing effect. The present study analyzed the potential reno-protective effect and mechanism of asiatic acid (AA) in long-term cisplatin-treated nude mice suffering from tumors. AA treatment significantly attenuated renal injury, inflammation, and fibrosis induced by long-term cisplatin injection in tumor-bearing mice. AA administration notably suppressed tubular necroptosis and improved the autophagy-lysosome pathway disruption caused by chronic cisplatin treatment in tumor-transplanted nude mice and HK-2 cells. AA promoted transcription factor EB (TFEB)-mediated lysosome biogenesis and reduced the accumulation of damaged lysosomes, resulting in enhanced autophagy flux. Mechanistically, AA increased TFEB expression by rebalancing Smad7/Smad3, whereas siRNA inhibition of Smad7 or TFEB abolished the effect of AA on autophagy flux in HK-2 cells. In addition, AA treatment did not weaken, but actually enhanced the anti-tumor effect of cisplatin, as evidenced by the promoted tumor apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in nude mice. In summary, AA alleviates cisplatin-induced renal fibrosis in tumor-bearing mice by improving the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosome pathway.

Abstract
Patients with cancer represent a unique patient population with increased susceptibility to kidney disease. Drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cancer is a common problem. Cisplatin is a highly effective treatment used in many solid-organ cancers and causes AKI in 30% of patients, increasing the risk of chronic kidney disease development. Most preclinical cisplatin toxicity studies have been completed in mice without cancer. We believe that the physiology of patients with cancer is not adequately represented in preclinical models, and the objective of this study was to determine how lung cancer will alter the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin. A genetically engineered mouse model and a syngeneic xenograft model of lung cancer were used. Mice were divided into the following four groups: 1) noncancer/vehicle, 2) noncancer/cisplatin, 3) cancer/vehicle, and 4) cancer/cisplatin. Mice were administered cisplatin via intraperitoneal injection once a week for 4 wk. Animals were euthanized 72 h following their final cisplatin injection. Mice with lung cancer had increased renal toxicity, injury, and fibrosis following repeated low doses of cisplatin. In addition, lung cancer alone induced kidney injury and fibrosis in the kidney before cisplatin treatment. In conclusion, this is the first study that we are aware of that assesses the impact of cancer on the kidney in conjunction with the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin. We believe that cancer is providing the first hit to the kidney and the subsequent damage from repeated doses of cisplatin becomes unsurmountable, leading to AKI and progression to chronic kidney disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Patients with cancer have impaired kidney function and increased susceptibility to nephrotoxic agents. Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic with nephrotoxicity as the dose-limiting side effect. Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is almost exclusively studied in mice without cancer. Our current preclinical models do not adequately represent the complexity of patients with cancer. This study demonstrates increased renal toxicity, injury, and fibrosis in mice with lung cancer, which is exacerbated with cisplatin treatment. These results highlight the necessity of using preclinical models that more accurately capture the altered physiology of patients with cancer treated with cisplatin.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that autophagy is a governed catabolic framework enabling the recycling of nutrients from injured organelles and other cellular constituents via a lysosomal breakdown. This mechanism has been associated with the development of various pathologic conditions, including cancer and neurological disorders; however, recently updated studies have indicated that autophagy plays a dual role in cancer, acting as a cytoprotective or cytotoxic mechanism. Numerous preclinical and clinical investigations have shown that inhibiting autophagy enhances an anticancer medicine's effectiveness in various malignancies. Autophagy antagonists, including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, have previously been authorized in clinical trials, encouraging the development of medication-combination therapies targeting the autophagic processes for cancer. In this review, we provide an update on the recent research examining the anticancer efficacy of combining drugs that activate cytoprotective autophagy with autophagy inhibitors. Additionally, we highlight the difficulties and progress toward using cytoprotective autophagy targeting as a cancer treatment strategy. Importantly, we must enable the use of suitable autophagy inhibitors and coadministration delivery systems in conjunction with anticancer agents. Therefore, this review briefly summarizes the general molecular process behind autophagy and its bifunctional role that is important in cancer suppression and in encouraging tumor growth and resistance to chemotherapy and metastasis regulation. We then emphasize how autophagy and cancer cells interacting with one another is a promising therapeutic target in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Autophagy is a lysosomal protein degradation system that eliminates cytoplasmic components such as protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and even invading pathogens. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved homoeostatic strategy for cell survival in stressful conditions and has been linked to a variety of biological processes and disorders. It is vital for the homeostasis and survival of renal cells such as podocytes and tubular epithelial cells, as well as immune cells in the healthy kidney. Autophagy activation protects renal cells under stressed conditions, whereas autophagy deficiency increases the vulnerability of the kidney to injury, resulting in several aberrant processes that ultimately lead to renal failure. Renal fibrosis is a condition that, if chronic, will progress to end-stage kidney disease, which at this point is incurable. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is linked to significant alterations in cell signaling such as the activation of the pleiotropic cytokine transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). While the expression of TGF-β1 can promote fibrogenesis, it can also activate autophagy, which suppresses renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Autophagy has a complex variety of impacts depending on the context, cell types, and pathological circumstances, and can be profibrotic or antifibrotic. Induction of autophagy in tubular cells, particularly in the proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) protects cells against stresses such as proteinuria-induced apoptosis and ischemia-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), whereas the loss of autophagy in renal cells scores a significant increase in sensitivity to several renal diseases. In this review, we discuss new findings that emphasize the various functions of TGF-β1 in producing not just renal fibrosis but also the beneficial TGF-β1 signaling mechanisms in autophagy.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major renal disease characterized by a sudden decrease in kidney function. After AKI, the kidney has the ability to repair, but if the initial injury is severe the repair may be incomplete or maladaptive and result in chronic kidney problems. Autophagy is a highly conserved pathway to deliver intracellular contents to lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy plays an important role in maintaining renal function and is involved in the pathogenesis of renal diseases. Autophagy is activated in various forms of AKI and acts as a defense mechanism against kidney cell injury and death. After AKI, autophagy is maintained at a relatively high level in kidney tubule cells during maladaptive kidney repair but the role of autophagy in maladaptive kidney repair has been controversial. Nonetheless, recent studies have demonstrated that autophagy may contribute to maladaptive kidney repair after AKI by inducing tubular degeneration and promoting a profibrotic phenotype in renal tubule cells. In this review, we analyze the role and regulation of autophagy in kidney injury and repair and discuss the therapeutic strategies by targeting autophagy.

Cisplatin nephrotoxicity: new insights and therapeutic implications. Nat Rev Nephrol 2023; 19:53-72.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for various solid tumours, but its use is limited by adverse effects in normal tissues. In particular, cisplatin is nephrotoxic and can cause acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Preclinical studies have provided insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, which involve intracellular stresses including DNA damage, mitochondrial pathology, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Stress responses, including autophagy, cell-cycle arrest, senescence, apoptosis, programmed necrosis and inflammation have key roles in the pathogenesis of cisplatin nephrotoxicity. In addition, emerging evidence suggests a contribution of epigenetic changes to cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Further research is needed to determine how these pathways are integrated and to identify the cell type-specific roles of critical molecules involved in regulated necrosis, inflammation and epigenetic modifications in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. A number of potential therapeutic targets for cisplatin nephrotoxicity have been identified. However, the effects of renoprotective strategies on the efficacy of cisplatin chemotherapy needs to be thoroughly evaluated. Further research using tumour-bearing animals, multi-omics and genome-wide association studies will enable a comprehensive understanding of the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms of cisplatin nephrotoxicity and potentially lead to the identification of specific targets to protect the kidney without compromising the chemotherapeutic efficacy of cisplatin.
