Abstract
Sepsis is defined as the dysregulated immune response leading to multi-organ dysfunction and injury. Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. Alamandine (ALA) is a novel endogenous peptide of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, but its functional and vascular effects on sepsis remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of ALA, as a pre- and post-treatment agent, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic and renal dysfunction and injury in the LPS-induced endotoxemia model in rats via functional, hemodynamic, vascular, molecular, biochemical, and histopathological evaluation. 10 mg/kg intraperitoneal LPS injection caused both hepatic and renal injury, decreased blood flow in several organs, and renal dysfunction at 20 h in Sprague-Dawley rats. Our results showed that ALA treatment ameliorated systemic and renal inflammation, reduced inflammatory cytokines, prevented the enhancement of the mortality rate, reversed vascular dysfunction, corrected decreased blood flows in several organs, and reduced renal and hepatic injury via inhibiting iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) and caspase expressions in the kidney. In addition, expressions of different ALA-related receptors showed alterations in this model, and ALA treatment reversed these alterations. These data suggest that ALA's systemic and renal protective effects are achieved through its anti-inflammatory, anti-pyroptotic, and anti-apoptotic effects on hemodynamic and vascular functions via reduced iNOS expression.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is strongly associated with severe acute kidney injury in patients with septic shock. Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:119. [PMID: 38038826 PMCID: PMC10692023 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-023-01216-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) worsens the prognosis of septic shock and contributes to multiple organ failure. To date, no data linking DIC and acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence, severity, and evolution in this setting are available. We aimed at analyzing the association between AKI occurrence, severity and evolution in patients with septic shock-induced DIC. In a prospective monocentric cohort study, consecutive patients, 18 years and older, admitted in the ICU of Strasbourg University Hospital in the setting of systemic hypotension requiring vasopressor related to an infection, without history of terminal chronic kidney disease were eligible. AKI was defined according to the KDIGO classification. DIC diagnosis was based on the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) score. Evolution of AKI was evaluated through the composite endpoint of major adverse kidney events. Only patients with DIC that occurred before or at the time of AKI diagnosis were considered. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine factors associated with renal outcomes. RESULTS 350 patients were included, of whom 129 experienced DIC. Patients with DIC were more seriously ill (median SAPS II 64 vs. 56, p < 0.001), and had higher 28-day mortality (43.3% vs. 26.2%, p < 0.001). AKI was more frequent in patients with DIC (86.8% vs. 74.2%, p < 0.005), particularly for the more severe stage of AKI [KDIGO 3 in 58.1% of patients with DIC vs. 30.8% of patients without DIC, p < 0.001, AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) in 47.3% of patients with DIC vs. 21.3% of patients without DIC, p < 0.001]. After adjustment for confounding factors, DIC occurrence remained associated with the risk of having the more severe stage of AKI with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.74 [IC 95% (1.53-4.91), p < 0.001], and with the risk of requiring RRT during the ICU stay [OR 2.82 (1.53-5.2), p < 0.001]. CONCLUSION DIC appears to be strongly associated with the risk of developing the more severe form of AKI (stage 3 of the KDIGO classification, RRT requirement), even after adjustment for severity and other relevant factors.

Physiol Genomics 2023; 55:504-516. [PMID: 37642276 PMCID: PMC11178269 DOI: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00023.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Previously, we found that the incidence of kidney injury in patients with chronic hypoxia was related to the partial pressure of arterial oxygen. However, at oxygen concentrations that contribute to kidney injury, the changes in the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs) and the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) axis and the key miRNAs involved in this process have not been elucidated. Therefore, we elucidated the relationship between VEGF and kidney injury at different oxygen concentrations and the mechanisms mediated by miRNAs. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to normobaric hypoxia and categorized into six groups based on the concentration of the oxygen inhaled and injection of the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab, a humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody. Renal tissue samples were processed to determine pathological and morphological changes and HIF-1α, VEGF, and miRNA expression. We performed a clustering analysis of high-risk pathways and key hub genes. The results were validated using two Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE94717 and GSE30718). As inhaled oxygen concentration decreased, destructive changes in the kidney tissues became more severe. Although the kidney possesses a self-protective mechanism under an intermediate degree of hypoxia (10% O2), bevacizumab injections disrupted this mechanism, and VEGF expression was associated with the ability of the kidney to repair itself. rno-miR-124-3p was identified as a crucial miRNA; a key gene target, Mapk14, was identified during this process. VEGF plays an important role in kidney protection from injury under different hypoxia levels. Specific miRNAs and their target genes may serve as biomarkers that provide new insights into kidney injury treatment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Renal tolerance to hypoxic environments is limited, and the degree of hypoxia does not show a linear relationship with angiogenesis. VEGF plays an important role in the kidney's self-protective mechanism under different levels of hypoxia. miR-124-3p may be particularly important in kidney repair, and it may modulate VEGF expression through the miR-124-3p/Mapk14 signaling pathway. These microRNAs may serve as biomarkers that provide new insights into kidney injury treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a life-threatening condition responsible for up to 20% of all global deaths. Kidneys are among the most common organs implicated, yet the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is not completely understood, resulting in the treatment being nonspecific and responsive. In situations of stress, the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) may play a role. This systematic review focuses on analyzing the impact of the RAAS on the development of S-AKI and discussing the use of RAAS antagonists as an emerging therapeutic option to minimize complications of sepsis. METHODS Studies were identified using electronic databases (Medline via PubMed, Google Scholar) published within the past decade, comprised from 2014 to 2023. The search strategy was conducted using the following keywords: sepsis, S-AKI, RAAS, Angiotensin II, and RAAS inhibitors. Studies on human and animal subjects were included if relevant to the keywords. RESULTS Our search identified 22 eligible references pertaining to the inclusion criteria. Treatment of sepsis with RAAS inhibitor medications is observed to decrease rates of S-AKI, reduce the severity of S-AKI, and offer an improved prognosis for septic patients. CONCLUSION The use of RAAS antagonists as a treatment after the onset of sepsis has promising findings, with evidence of decreased renal tissue damage and rates of S-AKI and improved survival outcomes.

Abstract
Sepsis is the most common cause of acute kidney injury in ICU patients, with increasing mortalities. Treatment septic AKI is unsatisfactory; therefore, more effective therapies must be investigated. MSCs-MVs have the same effectiveness in tissue repair as their original cells. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is considered a simple and convenient tool in regenerative medicine. This study aimed to compare the probable therapeutic effect of MSCs-MVs versus G-CSF on septic AKI in rats. Forty-eight adult male rats were divided into four groups; I control group (IA-ID), II induced-sepsis group, III G-CSF, and IV MSC-MVs groups. Sepsis was induced in groups II, III, IV through a single IV injection of 10 mg/ kg of E.Coli-LPS dissolved in 1 ml saline. Four hours later, group IV received a single IV injection of MSCs-MVs, while group III received a SC injection of Neupogen for 5 days. All animals were sacrificed 7 days from the start. Serum and tissue samples of each group were used for biochemical study. Sections from all groups were subjected to light and electron microscopic examination. A fluorescent microscope examination for subgroup ID and group IV was done. Morphometric and statistical analyses were performed. Group II showed features of acute tubular injury. Group III showed some improvement (biochemically, LM & EM level) however, group IV showed more improvement. MVs injection caused a marked improvement in septic AKI; G-CSF can also meliorate the degenerative effect of sepsis on renal cortex, but to a lesser extent than MSCs-MVs.

Abstract
Microvascular endothelial cells in the kidney have been a neglected cell type in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (sepsis-AKI) research; yet, they offer tremendous potential as pharmacological targets. As endothelial cells in distinct cortical microvascular segments are highly heterogeneous, this Review focuses on endothelial cells in their anatomical niche. In animal models of sepsis-AKI, reduced glomerular blood flow has been attributed to inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation in arterioles and glomeruli, whereas decreased cortex peritubular capillary perfusion is associated with epithelial redox stress. Elevated systemic levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, reduced levels of circulating sphingosine 1-phosphate and loss of components of the glycocalyx from glomerular endothelial cells lead to increased microvascular permeability. Although coagulation disbalance occurs in all microvascular segments, the molecules involved differ between segments. Induction of the expression of adhesion molecules and leukocyte recruitment also occurs in a heterogeneous manner. Evidence of similar endothelial cell responses has been found in kidney and blood samples from patients with sepsis. Comprehensive studies are needed to investigate the relationships between segment-specific changes in the microvasculature and kidney function loss in sepsis-AKI. The application of omics technologies to kidney tissues from animals and patients will be key in identifying these relationships and in developing novel therapeutics for sepsis.

Abstract
Significance: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and life-threatening complication in hospitalized and critically ill patients. It is defined by an abrupt deterioration in renal function, clinically manifested by increased serum creatinine levels, decreased urine output, or both. To execute all its functions, namely excretion of waste products, fluid/electrolyte balance, and hormone synthesis, the kidney requires incredible amounts of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. Recent Advances: Adequate mitochondrial functioning and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) homeostasis are essential to meet these high energetic demands. NAD+ is a ubiquitous essential coenzyme to many cellular functions. NAD+ as an electron acceptor mediates metabolic pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis, serves as a cosubstrate of aging molecules (i.e., sirtuins), participates in DNA repair mechanisms, and mediates mitochondrial biogenesis. Critical Issues: In many forms of AKI and chronic kidney disease, renal function deterioration has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and NAD+ depletion. Based on this, therapies aiming to restore mitochondrial function and increase NAD+ availability have gained special attention in the last two decades. Future Directions: Experimental and clinical studies have shown that by restoring mitochondrial homeostasis and increasing renal tubulo-epithelial cells, NAD+ availability, AKI incidence, and chronic long-term complications are significantly decreased. This review covers some general epidemiological and pathophysiological concepts; describes the role of mitochondrial homeostasis and NAD+ metabolism; and analyzes the underlying rationale and role of NAD+ aiming therapies as promising preventive and therapeutic strategies for AKI.

Abstract
Due to (i) the uremia-enhanced sepsis severity, (ii) the high prevalence of sepsis with pre-existing renal injury and (iii) the non-erythropoiesis immunomodulation of erythropoietin (EPO), EPO was tested in sepsis with pre-existing renal injury models with the retrospective exploration in patients. Then, EPO was subcutaneously administered in mice with (i) cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) after renal injury including 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx-CLP) and bilateral nephrectomy (BiNx-CLP) or sham surgery (sham-CLP) and (ii) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection, along with testing in macrophages. In patients, the data of EPO administration and the disease characteristics in patients with sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (sepsis-AKI) were evaluated. As such, increased endogenous EPO was demonstrated in all sepsis models, including BiNx-CLP despite the reduced liver erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), using Western blot analysis and gene expression, in liver (partly through hepatocyte apoptosis). A high-dose EPO, but not a low-dose, attenuated sepsis in mouse models as determined by mortality and serum inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, EPO attenuated inflammatory responses in LPS-activated macrophages as determined by supernatant cytokines and the expression of several inflammatory genes (iNOS, IL-1β, STAT3 and NFκB). In parallel, patients with sepsis-AKI who were treated with the high-dose EPO showed favorable outcomes, particularly the 29-day mortality rate. In conclusion, high-dose EPO attenuated sepsis with preconditioning renal injury in mice possibly through the macrophage anti-inflammatory effect, which might be beneficial in some patients.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a common and life-threatening complication in hospitalized and critically ill patients. It is characterized by rapid deterioration of renal function associated with sepsis. The pathophysiology of S-AKI remains incompletely understood, so most therapies remain reactive and nonspecific. Possible pathogenic mechanisms to explain S-AKI include microcirculatory dysfunction, a dysregulated inflammatory response, and cellular metabolic reprogramming. In addition, several biomarkers have been developed in an attempt to improve diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of S-AKI. This article discusses the current understanding of S-AKI, recent advances in pathophysiology and biomarker development, and current preventive and therapeutic approaches.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a progressive renal complication which significantly affects the patient's life with huge economic burden. Untreated acute kidney injury eventually progresses to a chronic form and end-stage renal disease. Although significant breakthroughs have been made in recent years, there are still no effective pharmacological therapies for the treatment of acute kidney injury. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a well-characterized pattern recognition receptor, and increasing evidence has shown that TLR4 mediated inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury. The expression of TLR4 has been seen in resident renal cells, including podocytes, mesangial cells, tubular epithelial cells and endothelial cells. Activation of TLR4 signaling regulates the transcription of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, resulting in renal inflammation. Therefore, targeting TLR4 and its downstream effectors could serve as an effective therapeutic intervention to prevent renal inflammation and subsequent kidney damage. For the first time, this review summarizes the literature on acute kidney injury from the perspective of TLR4 from year 2010 to 2020. In the current review, the role of TLR4 signaling pathway in AKI with preclinical evidence is discussed. Furthermore, we have highlighted several compounds of natural and synthetic origin, which have the potential to avert the renal TLR4 signaling in preclinical AKI models and have shown protection against AKI. This scientific review provides new ideas for targeting TLR4 in the treatment of AKI and provides strategies for the drug development against AKI.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which landiolol, an ultra-short-acting, selective β-1 blocker, could improve septic acute kidney injury and how inflammation might affect mitochondrial function and cause the renal injury were examined. Male Wistar rats (250 g-300 g) were randomly allocated to three groups: a sham control group (n = 8); a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (n = 8); and an LPS + landiolol group (n = 8). LPS was administered intravenously at the start of the experiments; the LPS + landiolol group rats received LPS and continuous intravenous landiolol. Serum creatinine and lactate concentrations and hemodynamic parameters were measured 3 and 6 h after the experiments started. TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels and urinary 8-OHdG concentrations were determined. The extent of LPS-induced renal injury and recovery with landiolol were examined histopathologically. Metabolic analysis in human embryonic kidney cells was performed using Seahorse analysis. The effects of landiolol on cytokine-induced mitochondrial stress and glycolytic stress were examined. Treatment with landiolol was shown to normalize serum creatinine and lactate levels following intravenous LPS administration (Cr: LPS group 0.8 ± 0.6 mg/mL, LPS + landiolol group 0.5 ± 0.1 mg/mL; P < 0.05). In the in vitro experiments, TNF-α induced an increase in mitochondrial oxygen consumption, which was attenuated by landiolol, which could represent a mechanism for renal protection. Landiolol may have protective effects on the cells and tissues of the kidney by inhibiting oxygen consumption and hypoxia caused by TNF-α in renal cells. These results suggest that landiolol may be an important new therapeutic target for treating inflammation-associated kidney injury.

Abstract
Our previous study demonstrated that the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) signaling alleviates renal inflammation and protects against cisplatin-induced AKI. However, the underlying mechanisms for mTORC2 in regulating renal inflammation in AKI remain to be determined. In this study, we found that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could activate mTORC2 signaling in NRK-52E cells, and blockage of mTORC2 signaling led to Yap/Taz degradation, which in turn activated NF-κB signaling and induced inflammatory cytokines secretion. Overexpression of constitutively active Taz (Taz-S89A) could attenuate the inflammation-amplified role of mTORC2 blockage. In mouse models, tubule-specific deletion of Rictor had higher blood urea nitrogen level, severe morphological injury as well as more inflammatory cells accumulation compared with those in their littermate controls. Overall, these results demonstrate that mTORC2 signaling protects against renal inflammation and dictates the outcome of AKI by modulating Yap/Taz degradation.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a single dose of arginine (Arg) administration at the beginning of sepsis on CD4+ T-cell regulation and liver inflammation in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were divided into normal control (NC), sham (SH), sepsis saline (SS), and sepsis Arg (SA) groups. An inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) inhibitor was administered to additional sepsis groups to evaluate the role of NO during sepsis. Sepsis was induced using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The SS and SA groups received saline or Arg (300 mg/kg body weight) via tail vein 1 h after CLP. Mice were euthanized at 12 and 24 h post-CLP. Blood, para-aortic lymph nodes, and liver tissues were collected for further measurement. The findings showed that sepsis resulted in decreases in blood and para-aortic lymph node CD4+ T-cell percentages, whereas percentages of interleukin (IL)-4- and IL-17-expressing CD4+ T cells were upregulated. Compared to the SS group, Arg administration resulted in maintained circulating and para-aortic lymph node CD4+ T cells, an increased Th1/Th2 ratio, and a reduced Th17/Treg ratio post-CLP. In addition, levels of plasma liver injury markers and expression of inflammatory genes in liver decreased. These results suggest that a single dose of Arg administered after CLP increased Arg availability, sustained CD4+ T-cell populations, elicited more-balanced Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg polarization in the circulation and the para-aortic lymph nodes, and attenuated liver inflammation in sepsis. The favorable effects of Arg were abrogated when an iNOS inhibitor was administered, which indicated that NO may be participated in regulating the homeostasis of Th/Treg cells and subsequent liver inflammation during sepsis.

Abstract
Sepsis is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome that is complicated commonly by acute kidney injury (sepsis-AKI). Currently, no approved pharmacologic therapies exist to either prevent sepsis-AKI or to treat sepsis-AKI once it occurs. A growing body of evidence supports a connection between red blood cell biology and sepsis-AKI. Increased levels of circulating cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) released from red blood cells during hemolysis are common during sepsis and can contribute to sepsis-AKI through several mechanisms including tubular obstruction, nitric oxide depletion, oxidative injury, and proinflammatory signaling. A number of potential pharmacologic therapies targeting CFH in sepsis have been identified including haptoglobin, hemopexin, and acetaminophen, and early phase clinical trials have suggested that acetaminophen may have beneficial effects on lipid peroxidation and kidney function in patients with sepsis. Bedside measurement of CFH levels may facilitate predictive enrichment for future clinical trials of CFH-targeted therapeutics. However, rapid and reliable bedside tests for plasma CFH will be required for such trials to move forward.

Aquaporin-1 attenuates macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses by inhibiting p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury. Inflamm Res 2019; 68:1035-1047. [PMID: 31529146 PMCID: PMC6823654 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-019-01285-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study was designed to investigate the role of AQP1 in the development of LPS-induced AKI and its potential regulatory mechanisms in the inflammatory responses of macrophages. Methods Male Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with LPS, and biochemical and histological renal damage was assessed. The levels of inflammatory mediators, macrophage markers and AQP1 in blood and kidney tissues were assessed by ELISA. RTPCR was used to assess changes in the relative levels of AQP1 mRNA induced by LPS. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses were performed to assay the activation of the p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways, respectively. The same detection methods were used in vitro to determine the regulatory mechanisms underlying AQP1 function. Results AQP1 mRNA levels were dramatically decreased in AKI rats following the increased expression of inflammatory factors. In vitro experiments demonstrated that silencing the AQP1 gene increased inflammatory mediator secretion, altered the classical activation of macrophages, greatly enhanced the phosphorylation of p38 and accelerated the translocation of NF-κB. Furthermore, these results were blocked by doramapimod, a p38 inhibitor. Therefore, these effects were mediated by the increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Conclusion Our results suggest that altered AQP1 expression may be associated with the development of inflammation in AKI. AQP1 plays a protective role in modulating acute renal injury and can attenuate macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses by downregulating p38 MAPK activity in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The pharmacological targeting of AQP1-mediated p38 MAPK signalling may provide a novel treatment approach for AKI.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of renal failure in septic shock is complex. Although microvascular dysfunction has been proposed as a mechanism, there are controversial findings about the characteristics of microvascular redistribution and the effects of resuscitation. Our hypothesis was that the normalization of systemic hemodynamics with fluids and norepinephrine fails to improve acute kidney injury. To test this hypothesis, we assessed systemic and renal hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in 24 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated sheep. Renal cortical microcirculation was evaluated by SDF-videomicroscopy. Shock ( n = 12) was induced by intravenous administration of endotoxin. After 60 min of shock, 30 mL/kg of saline solution was infused and norepinephrine was titrated to reach a mean blood pressure of 70 mmHg for 2 h. These animals were compared with a sham group ( n = 12). After endotoxin administration, mean blood pressure, cardiac index, and systemic O2 transport and consumption decreased ( P < 0.05 for all). Resuscitation improved these variables. Endotoxin shock also reduced renal blood flow and O2 transport and consumption (205[157–293] vs. 131 [99–185], 28.4[19.0–38.2] vs. 15.8[13.5–23.2], and 5.4[4.0–8.8] vs. 3.7[3.3–4.5] mL·min−1·100 g−1, respectively); cortical perfused capillary density (23.8[23.5–25.9] vs. 17.5[15.1–19.0] mm/mm2); and creatinine clearance (62.4[39.2–99.4] vs. 10.7[4.4–23.5] mL/min). After 2 h of resuscitation, these variables did not improve (174[91–186], 20.5[10.8–22.7], and 3.8[1.9–4.8] mL·min−1·100 g−1, 19.9[18.6–22.1] mm/mm2, and 5.9[1.0–11.9] mL/min). In conclusion, endotoxin shock induced severe renal failure associated with decreased renal flow, O2 transport and consumption, and cortical microcirculation. Normalization of systemic hemodynamics with fluids and norepinephrine failed to improve renal perfusion, oxygenation, and function. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This experimental model of endotoxin shock induced severe renal failure, which was associated with abnormalities in renal regional blood flow, microcirculation, and oxygenation. Derangements included the compromise of peritubular microvascular perfusion. Improvements in systemic hemodynamics through fluids and norepinephrine were unable to correct these abnormalities.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a frequent complication of the critically ill patient and is associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality. Prevention of S-AKI is difficult because by the time patients seek medical attention, most have already developed acute kidney injury. Thus, early recognition is crucial to provide supportive treatment and limit further insults. Current diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury has limited early detection; however, novel biomarkers of kidney stress and damage have been recently validated for risk prediction and early diagnosis of acute kidney injury in the setting of sepsis. Recent evidence shows that microvascular dysfunction, inflammation, and metabolic reprogramming are 3 fundamental mechanisms that may play a role in the development of S-AKI. However, more mechanistic studies are needed to better understand the convoluted pathophysiology of S-AKI and to translate these findings into potential treatment strategies and add to the promising pharmacologic approaches being developed and tested in clinical trials.

Abstract
Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling is active in inflammation, but its involvement in septic acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been shown. mTORC1 activation (p-S6) in renal fibroblasts was increased in a mouse AKI model induced by 1.5 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Deletion of tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1), an mTORC1 negative regulator, in fibroblasts (Fibro-TSC1-/-) inhibited the elevation of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in AKI compared with that in TSC1fl/fl control mice. Endothelin-1 (EDN1) and phospho-Jun-amino-terminal kinase (p-JNK) were up-regulated in Fibro-TSC1-/- renal fibroblasts after LPS challenge. Rapamycin, an mTORC1 inhibitor, and bosentan, an EDN1 antagonist, eliminated the difference in renal function between TSC1fl/fl and Fibro-TSC1-/- mice after LPS injection. Rapamycin restored LPS-induced up-regulation of EDN1, endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE1), and p-JNK in TSC1-knockdown mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). SP600125, a Jun-amino-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, attenuated LPS-induced enhancement of EDN1 and ECE1 in TSC1-knockdown MEFs without a change in phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (p-S6) level. The results indicate that mTORC1-JNK-dependent up-regulation of ECE1 elevated EDN1 in TSC1-knockout renal fibroblasts and contributed to improvement of renal function in Fibro-TSC1-/- mice with LPS-induced AKI. Renal fibroblast mTORC1 plays an important role in septic AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), which is defined as a rapid decline of renal function, becomes common and recently recognized to be closely intertwined with chronic kidney diseases. Current treatment for AKI is largely supportive, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has emerged as a novel mediator of AKI. Since carbon monoxide attenuates ER stress, the objective of the present study aimed to determine the protective effect of carbon monoxide releasing molecule-2 (CORM2) on AKI associated with ER stress. Kidney injury was induced after LPS (15 mg/kg) treatment at 12 to 24 h in C57BL/6J mice. Pretreatment of CORM2 (30 mg/kg) effectively prevented LPS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation during AKI in mice. CORM2 treatment also effectively inhibited LPS-induced ER stress in AKI mice. In order to confirm effect of CO on the pathophysiological role of tubular epithelial cells in AKI, we used mProx24 cells. Pretreatment of CORM2 attenuated LPS-induced ER stress, oxidative stress, and inflammation in mProx24 cells. These data suggest that CO therapy may prevent ER stress-mediated AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sepsis is a common and frequently fatal condition in which mortality has been consistently linked to increasing organ dysfunction. For example, acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 40-50% of septic patients and increases mortality six to eight-fold. However, the mechanisms by which sepsis causes organ dysfunction are not well understood and hence current therapy remains reactive and nonspecific. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have challenged the previous notion that organ dysfunction is solely secondary to hypoperfusion, by showing, for example, that AKI occurs in the setting of normal or increased renal blood flow; and that it is characterized not by acute tubular necrosis or apoptosis, but rather by heterogeneous areas of colocalized sluggish peritubular blood flow and tubular epithelial cell oxidative stress. Evidence has also shown that microvascular dysfunction, inflammation, and the metabolic response to inflammatory injury are fundamental pathophysiologic mechanisms that may explain the development of sepsis-induced AKI. SUMMARY The implications of these findings are significant because in the context of decades of negative clinical trials in the field, the recognition that other mechanisms are at play opens the possibility to better understand the processes of injury and repair, and provides an invaluable opportunity to design mechanism-targeted therapeutic interventions.

Protostemonine effectively attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2018; 39:85-96. [PMID: 29047459 DOI: 10.1038/aps.2017.131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2017] [Accepted: 06/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Protostemonine (PSN) is the main anti-inflammatory alkaloid extracted from the roots of Stemona sessilifolia (known as "Baibu" in traditional Chinese medicine). Here, we reported the inhibitory effects of PSN on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage activation in vitro and LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice. Macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with PSN (1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 μmol/L) for 0.5 h and then challenged with LPS (0.1 μg/mL) for 24 h. Pretreatment with PSN significantly inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of MAPKs and AKT, iNOS expression and NO production in the macrophages. C57BL/6 mice were intratracheally injected with LPS (5 mg/kg) to induce acute lung injury (ALI). The mice were subsequently treated with PSN (10 mg/kg, ip) at 4 and 24 h after LPS challenge. PSN administration significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) production and eliminated LPS-mediated lung edema. Furthermore, PSN administration significantly inhibited LPS-induced pulmonary MPO activity. Meanwhile, LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, iNOS expression and NO production in the lungs were also suppressed. The results demonstrate that PSN effectively attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo; the beneficial effects are associated with the decreased phosphorylation of MAPK and AKT and the reduced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as iNOS, NO and cytokines. These data suggest that PSN may be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of ALI.

Blockade of CD38 diminishes lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage classical activation and acute kidney injury involving NF-κB signaling suppression. Cell Signal 2017; 42:249-258. [PMID: 29080804 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2017.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2017] [Revised: 10/11/2017] [Accepted: 10/24/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
The CD38, possessing ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase (cADPR-hydrolase), is able to regulate a variety of cellular activities. However, the role and mechanisms for CD38 in macrophage activation and sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) remain to be determined. Here we report that in cultured macrophages, Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could upregulate CD38 expression in time and dose dependent manner. Knocking down or blockade of CD38 in macrophages could inhibit LPS-induced macrophage M1 polarization accompanied by diminished NF-κB signaling activation. In mouse model with LPS-induced acute kidney injury, blocking CD38 with quercetin could significantly relieve kidney dysfunction, kidney pathological changes as well as inflammatory cell accumulation. Similar to those in the cultured cells, quercetin could inhibit macrophage M1 polarization and NF-κB signaling activation in macrophages from kidneys and spleens in mice after LPS injection. Together, these results demonstrate that CD38 mediates LPS-induced macrophage activation and AKI, which may be treated as a therapeutic target for sepsis-induced AKI in patients.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated organ dysfunction involves multiple responses to inflammation, including endothelial and microvascular dysfunction, immune and autonomic dysregulation, and cellular metabolic reprogramming. The effect of targeting these mechanistic pathways on short- and long-term outcomes depends highly on the timing of therapeutic intervention. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the adaptive or maladaptive character of these mechanisms, to discover phase-specific biomarkers to guide therapy, and to conceptualize these mechanisms in terms of resistance and tolerance.

Abstract
Sepsis‐induced acute kidney injury (SI‐AKI) is common and associated with high mortality. Survivors are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease. The precise mechanism underlying SI‐AKI is unknown, and no curative treatment exists. Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) activates the innate immune system in response to exogenous microbial products. The result is an inflammatory reaction aimed at clearing a potential infection. However, the consequence may also be organ dysfunction as the immune response can cause collateral damage to host tissue. The purpose of this review is to describe the basis for how ligand binding to TLR4 has the potential to cause renal dysfunction and the mechanisms by which this may take place in gram‐negative sepsis. In addition, we highlight areas for future research that can further our knowledge of the pathogenesis of SI‐AKI in relation to TLR4 activation. TLR4 is expressed in the kidney. Activation of TLR4 causes cytokine and chemokine release as well as renal leucocyte infiltration. It also results in endothelial and tubular dysfunction in addition to altered renal metabolism and circulation. From a physiological standpoint, inhibiting TLR4 in large animal experimental SI‐AKI significantly improves renal function. Thus, current evidence indicates that TLR4 has the ability to mediate SI‐AKI by a number of mechanisms. The strong experimental evidence supporting a role of TLR4 in the pathogenesis of SI‐AKI in combination with the availability of pharmacological tools to target TLR4 warrants future human studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This experimental study was designed to evaluate the renal tissue oxygenation under the coexistence of abdominal compartment syndrome and sepsis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourteen non-breed dogs were divided into two groups: the control group (8) and the study group (6). Sepsis was established with intravenous endotoxin infusion at 100μg/kg for over 30min. Insufflation of CO2 in the peritoneal cavity was used for the increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). A special catheter placed and fixed in the renal cortex at a depth of 3mm from the renal capsule was used for the measurement of renal tissue oxygenation. RESULTS Study parameters were recorded at the starting phase, at IAP of 15mmHg and 30mmHg and after decompression of the abdomen in the control group, and at the same intervals plus the induction of sepsis, prior to increasing abdominal pressure, in the study group. With the elevation of the IAP a reduction of renal tissue oxygenation presents itself, which is more pronounced in the presence of sepsis, especially for IAP over 15mmHg. Like other parameters, after abdominal decompression the renal tissue oxygenation returns to the initial levels, independently of sepsis. CONCLUSIONS The afferent arterioles vasoconstriction, which takes place during sepsis, and the intra-renal shunt, which occurs and leads to blood diversion to the medulla from the renal cortex due to the combination of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and sepsis, seem to explain this finding.

Abstract
Background Given that alterations in systemic hemodynamics have a profound influence on renal function in patients with cirrhosis, it is surprising that circadian variations in blood pressure (BP) and renal electrolyte excretion have scarcely been studied. Our aims were to define the relationship of 24-h ambulatory BP changes with renal tubular function and to determine the influence of endotoxemia on BP and urinary parameters. Methods Forty healthy controls served as a comparator to 20 cirrhotic patients. They underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and 24-h urine collection. Results Subjects with cirrhosis demonstrated significant diurnal variations in urinary excretion of sodium (57.7 µmol/min day versus 87 µmol/min night) and creatinine (826 µg/min day versus 1202 µg/min night). Increasing severity of cirrhosis was associated with a progressive reduction in ambulatory awake systolic (P-trend = 0.015), diastolic (P-trend < 0.001) and mean BP (P-trend < 0.001). In patients with cirrhosis, the magnitude of change in BP from awake to sleep state was blunted for systolic BP (5% reduction, P = 0.039) and pulse rate (2% reduction, P < 0.001). The amplitude of variation in pulse rate was blunted with increasing severity of cirrhosis (controls 6.5, Child-Pugh Class A 5.3, Child B 3.4, Child C 1.2, P = 0.03) and the acrophase was right-shifted with increasing severity of cirrhosis. Compared with sleep state, during the awake state, endotoxin was associated with less sodium excretion and a lower systolic BP. Compared with the awake state, endotoxin was associated with a higher sleeping pulse rate (P < 0.001). Conclusions Patients with cirrhosis have altered diurnal profiles in renal tubular function and blood pressure that appear to be related to endotoxemia. Determining whether endotoxemia is causally related to these perturbations will require interventional studies.

Abstract
Inflammation is a defensive response against various harmful stimuli and stress conditions, such as tissue injury and one of the most common pathological processes occurring in human diseases. Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate, one of the theaflavins present in black tea, exhibits several bioactive properties, including the ability to lower the incidence of coronary heart disease, a positive effect on the bone mineral density, and the ability to prevent cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether theaflavin-3,3'-digallate could reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vivo and in vitro and ameliorate acute lung injury (ALI) in a mouse model. In this study, we demonstrated that theaflavin-3,3'-digallate suppressed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in RAW 264.7 macrophages. In addition, we also showed that theaflavin-3,3'-digallate inhibited the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin -1 beta, and interleukin 6 in phorbol myristate acetate -primed U937 and RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, theaflavin-3,3'-digallate treatment attenuated the severity of LPS-induced ALI in mice. These results suggested that theaflavin-3,3'-digallate might be a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of inflammation and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a nonapoptotic cell death pathway. We aim to study the effect of necrostatin-1 (a specific necroptosis inhibitor) in cisplatin-induced injury. We analyzed the effect of the combined use of inhibitors of apoptosis (z-vad) and necroptosis (necrostatin-1) in acute kidney injury by cisplatin in human proximal tubule cells. Our results showed moderate effectiveness in cytoprotection after treatment with z-vad. But the concomitant use of inhibitors (z-vad and necrostatin-1) presented synergistic and additive protection. The present study analyzed the caspase-3 activity and we observed a significant decrease in the group treated with z-vad and cisplatin. However we did not observe changes in the group treated with both inhibitors (z-vad and necrostatin-1) and cisplatin. Thus, demonstrating that necroptosis is a caspase-independent mechanism. We also analyzed the effect of necrostatin-1 in vivo model. C57BL/6 mice were treated with cisplatin and/or inhibitors. The concomitant use of inhibitors (z-vad and necrostatin-1) recovered renal function and decreased levels of urinary Ngal. Additionally, we analyzed the expression of RIP-1, a specific marker for necroptosis. In animals treated with cisplatin and z-VAD levels of RIP-1 were higher. This result reinforces that necroptosis occurs only in conditions where apoptosis was blocked. However, the use of both inhibitors (z-vad and necrostatin-1) provided additional protection. In conclusion, our study has a significant potential to show in vitro and in vivo protection obtained by necrostatin-1. Therefore, our results suggest that necroptosis may be an important mechanism of cell death after kidney injury.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury is complex and likely involves perfusion alterations, a dysregulated inflammatory response, and bioenergetic derangements. Although global renal hypoperfusion has been the main target of therapeutic interventions, its role in the development of renal dysfunction in sepsis is controversial. The implications of renal hypoperfusion during sepsis probably extend beyond a simple decrease in glomerular filtration pressure, and targeting microvascular perfusion deficits to maintain tubular epithelial integrity and function may be equally important. In this review, we provide an overview of macro- and microcirculatory dysfunction in experimental and clinical sepsis and discuss relationships with kidney oxygenation, metabolism, inflammation, and function.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In order to determine the therapeutic effect and mechanism of paeonol on acute kidney injury induced by endotoxin, an acute kidney injury model was established by intraperitoneal administration of lipopolysaccharide in mice in vivo and on LPS-induced dendritic cells in vitro. Renal tissues were used for histologic examination. Concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were detected, inflammatory cytokines were determined by ELISA. The relative proteins' expression of TLR4-NF-κB signal pathway was assessed by Western blot, the localization and expression of phospho-NF-κB p65 in kidney was monitored by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Treatment of paeonol successfully cuts histopathological scores and dilutes the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine as index of renal injury severity. In addition, paeonol reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory cytokines stimulated by LPS in a dose-dependent manner. Paeonol also inhibits the expression of phosphorylated NF-κB p65, IκBα and IKKβ, and restrains NF-κB p65 DNA-binding activity. Paeonol treatment also attenuates the effects of LPS on dendritic cells, with significant inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines release, then TLR4 expression and NF-κB signal pathway have been suppressed. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that paeonol has protective effects on endotoxin-induced kidney injury. The mechanisms underlying such effects are associated with its successfully attenuate inflammatory and suppresses TLR4 and NF-κB signal pathway. Therefore, paeonol has great potential to be a novel and natural product agent for treating AKI or septic-AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Infectious acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life threatening complication of cirrhosis with limited therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to develop a model of infectious AKI in cirrhotic mice. METHODS Cirrhosis was established by intragastric administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ). Systemic haemodynamics was assessed invasively while cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography. AKI was induced using varying doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) titrated to produce 50% lethality. Renal function was assessed from serum creatinine and urine output (UOP). Renal injury was evaluated by urinalysis (proteinuria and casts) and renal histology. These mice were compared to: (i) normal mice, (ii) normal mice + LPS, and (iii) mice treated with CCl4 alone. RESULTS Cirrhosis with increased cardiac output, decreased systemic vascular resistance, activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis developed after 12 weeks of CCl4 administration. LPS injection produced a dose-dependent increase in mortality (33% at 2 mg/kg vs. 80% at 6 mg/kg) without urine (casts or proteinuria) or histological evidence of tubular injury. 2 mg/kg LPS injection produced a rise in creatinine (0.79 ± 0.27 mg/dl in CCl4 +LPS compared to 0.45 ± 0.14 in CCl4 alone, P < 0.05) and a decrease in UOP (0.86 ± 0.4 ml/16 h in CCl4 + LPS compared to 1.70 ± 0.7 ml/16 h in CCl4 mice, P < 0.05). UOP remained low in mice that died while it recovered over 48-72 h in those that recovered. Control mice treated with 2 mg/kg LPS did not experience AKI. CONCLUSIONS Cirrhotic CCl4 treated mice develop functional AKI and mimic most of the features of infectious AKI following LPS injection.

Glycyrrhizic Acid Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Inhibiting NF-κB Signaling Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2016; 2016:8219287. [PMID: 26904148 PMCID: PMC4745381 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8219287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2015] [Accepted: 07/05/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is a major active ingredient in licorice. In our study, the effects of GA on acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats and its underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated. The sepsis model was produced by caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in rats. The molecular and histological experiments were performed in the kidney tissues and serum samples of rats. According to the results obtained, GA alleviated sepsis-induced AKI by improving the pathological changes, decreasing the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), and increasing the survival rate of rats with AKI significantly. The production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, was markedly inhibited by GA. Moreover, treatment with GA inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and expression levels of induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in kidney tissues. Furtherly, the apoptosis in kidney tissue induced by AKI was suppressed by GA. Finally, GA could inhibit the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. Our study suggests that GA alleviates sepsis-induced AKI by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, which provides a strong evidence for a new approach for treating sepsis-induced AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct hemoperfusion with a polymyxin B-immobilized column (PMX-DHP) adsorbs endotoxin and has been used for the treatment of septic shock. Yet, the mechanisms by which PMX-DHP acts on acute kidney injury are only partially understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and placed on mechanical ventilation. The animals were randomized to three groups: a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) + dummy-DHP group (n = 10), a CLP + PMX-DHP group (n = 10), and a sham group (n = 4). Four hours after CLP, a dummy-DHP or PMX-DHP was performed for 1 h. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure, arterial blood gases, and plasma concentrations of creatinine, lactate, potassium, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 were measured at 0 h and 8 h. Eight hours after CLP, the kidney was harvested, and histopathologic examination was performed. The expressions of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 were examined by immunohistochemistry. A terminal deoxynucleotide transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay was performed to detect apoptotic nuclei in kidney sections. RESULTS PMX-DHP maintained hemodynamics and the acid-base balance and significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the plasma concentrations of lactate, creatinine, potassium, IL-6, and IL-10 compared with dummy-DHP. PMX-DHP significantly (P < 0.001) attenuated the expressions of cleaved PARP and NF-κB p65 in renal tubular cells and renal tubular cell apoptosis compared with dummy-DHP. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PMX-DHP may protect against acute kidney injury not only by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway but also by preventing renal tubular cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Novel therapeutic interventions are required to prevent or treat AKI. To expedite progress in this regard, a consensus conference held by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative was convened in April of 2014 to develop recommendations for research priorities and future directions. Here, we highlight the concepts related to renal hemodynamics in AKI that are likely to reveal new treatment targets on investigation. Overall, we must better understand the interactions between systemic, total renal, and glomerular hemodynamics, including the role of tubuloglomerular feedback. Furthermore, the net consequences of therapeutic maneuvers aimed at restoring glomerular filtration need to be examined in relation to the nature, magnitude, and duration of the insult. Additionally, microvascular blood flow heterogeneity in AKI is now recognized as a common occurrence; timely interventions to preserve the renal microcirculatory flow may interrupt the downward spiral of injury toward progressive kidney failure and should, therefore, be investigated. Finally, development of techniques that permit an integrative physiologic approach, including direct visualization of renal microvasculature and measurement of oxygen kinetics and mitochondrial function in intact tissue in all nephron segments, may provide new insights into how the kidney responds to various injurious stimuli and allow evaluation of new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Sepsis is the commonest cause of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. Its pathophysiology is complex and not well understood. Until recently, it was believed that kidney hypoperfusion is the major contributor of septic acute kidney injury. However, recent publications have improved our understanding on this topic. We now know that its mechanisms included the following: (1) renal macrocirculatory and microcirculatory disturbance, (2) surge of inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, (3) coagulation cascade activation, and (4) bioenergetics adaptive response with controlled cell-cycle arrest aiming to prevent cell death. Uncovering these complicated mechanisms may facilitate the development of more appropriate therapeutic measures in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Sepsis is the most common cause of AKI. Considerable evidence now suggests that the pathogenic mechanisms of sepsis-induced AKI are different from those seen in other causes of AKI. This review focuses on the recent advances in this area and discusses possible therapeutic interventions that might derive from these new insights into the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced AKI. RECENT FINDINGS The traditional paradigm that sepsis-induced AKI arises from ischemia has been challenged by recent evidence that total renal blood flow in is not universally impaired during sepsis, and AKI can develop in the presence of normal or even increased renal blood flow. Animal and human studies suggest that adaptive responses of tubular epithelial cells to injurious signals are responsible for renal dysfunction. Simultaneously occurring renal inflammation and microcirculatory dysfunction further amplify these mechanisms. SUMMARY An understanding of the pathologic mechanisms of sepsis-induced AKI emphasizes the important role of maladaptive responses to the septic insult. Preventive and therapeutic measures should be based on counteracting these maladaptive responses of tubular epithelial cells, inflammation, and microvascular dysfunction.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanisms of rhein on sepsis-induced acute kidney injury by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in vivo, and on LPS-induced HK-2 cells in vitro. For histopathological analysis, rhein effectively attenuated the severity of renal injury. Rhein could significantly decrease concentration of BUN and SCr and level of TNF-α and IL-1β in two different mouse models of experimental sepsis. Moreover, rhein could markedly attenuate circulating leukocyte infiltration and enhance phagocytic activity of macrophages partly impaired at 12 h after CLP. Rhein could enhance cell viability and suppresse the release of MCP-1 and IL-8 in LPS-stimulated HK-2 cells Furthermore, rhein down regulated the expression of phosphorylated NF-κB p65, IκBα and IKKβ stimulated by LPS both in vivo and in vitro. All these results suggest that rhein has protective effects on endotoxin-induced kidney injury. The underlying mechanism of rhein on anti-endotoxin kidney injury may be closely related with its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties by decreasing NF-κB activation through restraining the expression and phosphorylation of the relevant proteins in NF-κB signal pathway, hindering transcription of NF-κB p65.These evidence suggest that rhein has a potential application to treat endotoxemia-associated acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications in patients with severe sepsis. The development of septic AKI increases patients' mobility and even mortality. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), as a membrane surface receptor for bacterial, fungal, viral and certain endogenous substances, has been described to contribute to the development of septic AKI; however, the renal cell types associating TLR2 overactivation in septic AKI has not been described. In the current study, we investigated the TLR2 activation patterns in the kidney of lipopolysaccharide-induced septic AKI mice. Our results demonstrated that mRNA level of TLR2 significantly increased in the kidney of lipopolysaccharide-treated mice. Immunohistochemistry revealed the overactivation of TLR2 in the glomeruli. Double immunofluorescence analysis shows the precise distribution of TLR2 by showing the colocalization of TLR2 in glomeruli with synaptopodin, a podocyte marker, and Tie2, an endothelial marker. In addition, proapoptotic molecules Bax and Caspase-3 were increased in the glomeruli of lipopolysaccharide-treated mice. Together, the current study indicates that TLR2 is overactivated in the glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes in septic AKI mice, while the abundance of Bax and Caspase-3 were increased in the glomeruli of these mice, it may supply a clue that TLR2 induced these cell apoptosis in AKI. This finding provides an alternative mechanism to understand AKI development and potential targets for treatment.

Abstract
Given that the leading clinical conditions associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), namely, sepsis, major surgery, heart failure, and hypovolemia, are all associated with shock, it is tempting to attribute all AKI to ischemia on the basis of macrohemodynamic changes. However, an increasing body of evidence has suggested that in many patients, AKI can occur in the absence of overt signs of global renal hypoperfusion. Indeed, sepsis-induced AKI can occur in the setting of normal or even increased renal blood flow. Accordingly, renal injury may not be entirely explained solely on the basis of the classic paradigm of hypoperfusion, and thus other mechanisms must come into play. Herein, we put forward a "unifying theory" to explain the interplay between inflammation and oxidative stress, microvascular dysfunction, and the adaptive response of the tubular epithelial cell to the septic insult. We propose that this response is mostly adaptive in origin, that it is driven by mitochondria, and that it ultimately results in and explains the clinical phenotype of sepsis-induced AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication during systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), a potentially deadly clinical condition characterized by whole-body inflammatory state and organ dysfunction. CD44 is a ubiquitously expressed cell-surface transmembrane receptor with multiple functions in inflammatory processes, including sterile renal inflammation. The present study aimed to assess the role of CD44 in endotoxic shock-induced kidney inflammation and dysfunction by using CD44 KO and WT mice exposed intraperitoneally to LPS for 2, 4, and 24 hours . Upon LPS administration, CD44 expression in WT kidneys was augmented at all time-points. At 2 and 4 hours, CD44 KO animals showed a preserved renal function in comparison to WT mice. In absence of CD44, the pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in plasma and kidneys were lower, while renal expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was higher. The cytokine levels were associated with decreased leukocyte influx and endothelial activation in CD44 KO kidneys. Furthermore, in vitro assays demonstrated a role of CD44 in enhancing macrophage cytokine responses to LPS and leukocyte migration. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that lack of CD44 impairs the early pro-inflammatory cytokine response to LPS, diminishes leukocyte migration/chemotaxis and endothelial activation, hence, delays endotoxic shock-induced AKI.

Abstract
AIMS The cardio-renal syndrome plays a critical role in acute heart failure (HF). Levosimendan, an inodilator drug, has a positive but controversial effect on kidney. Our aim was to evaluate its effects on both renal and systemic haemodynamic parameters as well as on renal function, explaining the possible mechanisms involved. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with acute decompensated HF, moderate renal impairment, wedge pressure >20 mmHg and EF <40% were eligible. Twenty-one patients were randomized to infusion of levosimendan or placebo, on top of standard therapy. Systemic haemodynamic parameters (wedge and cardiac output) were evaluated at baseline and at 8, 16, 24, 48, and 72 h. An intravascular renal artery Doppler exam was performed at baseline, after levosimendan bolus, and 1 h thereafter. Renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), cystatin C, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary output, sodium excretion, and plasma sodium were measured. The effect of levosimendan was beneficial and significantly different from placebo on several renal and cardiac parameters. Specifically, the levosimendan and placebo group exhibited significantly different changes over time in GFR (P = 0.037), renal blood flow (P = 0.037), and renal artery diameter (P = 0.033), with ensuing improvements in serum levels of BUN (P = 0.014), creatinine (P = 0.042), and cystatin C (P = 0.05). Concomitantly, levosimendan provided a significant increase in urine output up to 72 h (P = 0.02). These beneficial results on renal parameters were accompanied by similarly significant and favourable changes in cardiac index (P = 0.029) and PCWP (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Levosimendan, in acute decompensated HF, has an immediate renoprotective effect, mediated by an increase in renal blood flow, due to a selective renal arterial and venous vasodilating action.

Abstract
Microcirculatory dysfunction is correlated with increased mortality among septic patients and is believed to be a major contributor to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Rolipram, a selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has been shown to reduce microvascular permeability and in the kidney, increase renal blood flow (RBF). This led us to investigate its potential to improve the renal microcirculation and preserve renal function during sepsis using a murine cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model to induce sepsis. Rolipram, tested at doses of 0.3-10 mg/kg i.p., acutely restored capillary perfusion in a bell-shaped dose-response effect with 1 mg/kg being the lowest most efficacious dose. This dose also acutely increased RBF despite transiently decreasing mean arterial pressure. Rolipram also reduced renal microvascular permeability. It is noteworthy that delayed treatment with rolipram at 6 hours after CLP restored the renal microcirculation, reduced blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, and increased glomerular filtration rate at 18 hours. However, delayed treatment with rolipram did not reduce serum nitrate/nitrite levels, a marker of nitric oxide production, nor reactive nitrogen species generation in renal tubules. These data show that restoring the microcirculation with rolipram, even with delayed treatment, is enough to improve renal function during sepsis despite the generation of oxidants and suggest that PDE4 inhibitors should be evaluated further for their ability to treat septic-induced AKI.

Abstract
Introduction The relationships between systemic hemodynamics and renal blood flow and renal microcirculation are poorly known in sepsis. Norepinephrine (NE) infusion may add another level of complexity. Methods Ventilated and anesthetized rats were submitted to various mean arterial pressure (MAP) steps by blood removal, in presence and absence of sepsis and/or NE. Renal blood flow (RBF) and blood velocity (Vm) in renal cortical capillaries (using Sidestream Dark Field Imaging) were measured. Data were analyzed using linear mixed models enabling us to display the effects of both the considered explanatory variables and their interactions. Results Positive correlations were found between MAP and RBF. Sepsis had no independent impact on RBF whereas norepinephrine decreased RBF, regardless of the presence of sepsis. The relationship between MAP and RBF was weaker above a MAP of 100 mmHg as opposed to below 100 mmHg, with RBF displaying a relative "plateau" above this threshold. Sepsis and NE impacted carotid blood flow (CBF) differently compared to RBF, demonstrating organ specificity. A positive relationship was observed between MAP and Vm. Sepsis increased Vm while nNE decreased Vm irrespective of MAP. Sepsis was associated with an increase in serum creatinine determined at the end of the experiments, which was prevented by NE infusion. Conclusion In our model, sepsis at an early phase did not impact RBF over a large range of MAP. NE elicited a renal vasoconstrictive effect. Autoregulation of RBF appeared conserved in sepsis. Conversely, sepsis was associated with "hypervelocity" of blood flow in cortical peritubular capillaries reversed by NE infusion.
