Hou Y, Huang C, Huang Z, Huang J, Zhu B. STUB1 exacerbates calcium oxalate-induced kidney injury by modulating reactive oxygen species-mediated cellular autophagy via regulating CFTR ubiquitination. Urolithiasis 2024; 52:55.

Abstract
The formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals in the kidneys leads to renal epithelial damage and the progression of crystalline nephropathy. This study investigated the role of STIP1 homology and U-box protein 1 (STUB1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride channel, in CaOx-related renal damage and autophagy regulation. HK-2 cells were treated with various doses of CaOx monohydrate (COM) to simulate kidney injury in vitro. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and apoptosis were assessed. The regulation of CFTR ubiquitination by STUB1 was confirmed by immunoprecipitation. An in vivo model was established by injecting mice with glyoxylate. COM treatment dose-dependently decreased cell viability, increased TNF-α and ROS production, and induced apoptotic cell death in HK-2 cells. COM-treated cells also showed decreased CFTR protein expression. CFTR overexpression improved cell viability and reduced ROS production in COM-stimulated HK-2 cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted CFTR's ubiquitination binding site for STUB1. Further analysis confirmed the role of STUB1 as a ubiquitin ligase in CFTR degradation. Knockdown of STUB1 upregulated CFTR expression, while STUB1 overexpression had the opposite effect. Knockdown of CFTR reversed the impact of STUB1 deficiency on autophagy. The in vivo experiments showed that CFTR overexpression attenuated kidney tissue damage and CaOx deposition in mice. STUB1-mediated CFTR ubiquitination plays a crucial role in mitigating calcium oxalate-related renal damage by regulating autophagy. Targeting the STUB1/CFTR axis may hold therapeutic potential for treating kidney injury associated with calcium oxalate deposition.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a specific type of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Understanding the involvement of ferroptosis in calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation may reveal potential targets for this condition. The publicly available dataset GSE73680 was used to identify 61 differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (DEFERGs) between normal kidney tissues and Randall's plaques (RPs) from patients with nephrolithiasis through employing weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The findings were validated through in vitro and in vivo experiments using CaOx nephrolithiasis rat models induced by 1% ethylene glycol administration and HK-2 cell models treated with 1 mM oxalate. Through WGCNA and the machine learning algorithm, we identified LAMP2 and MDM4 as the hub DEFERGs. Subsequently, nephrolithiasis samples were classified into cluster 1 and cluster 2 based on the expression of the hub DEFERGs. Validation experiments demonstrated decreased expression of LAMP2 and MDM4 in CaOx nephrolithiasis animal models and cells. Treatment with ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a ferroptosis inhibitor, partially reversed oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in CaOx nephrolithiasis models. Moreover, Fer-1 also reversed the expression changes of LAMP2 and MDM4 in CaOx nephrolithiasis models. Our findings suggest that ferroptosis may be involved in the formation of CaOx kidney stones through the regulation of LAMP2 and MDM4.

Abstract
Ectopic mineralization refers to the deposition of mineralized complexes in the extracellular matrix of soft tissues. Calcific aortic valve disease, vascular calcification, gallstones, kidney stones, and abnormal mineralization in arthritis are common examples of ectopic mineralization. They are debilitating diseases and exhibit excess mortality, disability, and morbidity, which impose on patients with limited social or financial resources. Recent recognition that inflammation plays an important role in ectopic mineralization has attracted the attention of scientists from different research fields. In the present review, we summarize the origin of inflammation in ectopic mineralization and different channels whereby inflammation drives the initiation and progression of ectopic mineralization. The current knowledge of inflammatory milieu in pathological mineralization is reviewed, including how immune cells, pro-inflammatory mediators, and osteogenic signaling pathways induce the osteogenic transition of connective tissue cells, providing nucleating sites and assembly of aberrant minerals. Advances in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in inflammatory-mediated ectopic mineralization enable novel strategies to be developed that may lead to the resolution of these enervating conditions.

Abstract
Urolithiasis, referred to as the formation of stones in the urinary tract, is a common disease with growing prevalence and high recurrence rate worldwide. Although researchers have endeavoured to explore the mechanism of urinary stone formation for novel effective therapeutic and preventative measures, the exact aetiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Propelled by sequencing technologies and culturomics, great advances have been made in understanding the pivotal contribution of the human microbiome to urolithiasis. Indeed, there are diverse and abundant microbes interacting with the host in the urinary tract, overturning the dogma that urinary system, and urine are sterile. The urinary microbiome of stone formers was clearly distinct from healthy individuals. Besides, dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome appears to be involved in stone formation through the gut-kidney axis. Thus, the human microbiome has potential significant implications for the aetiology of urolithiasis, providing a novel insight into diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic strategies. Herein, we review and summarize the landmark microbiome studies in urolithiasis and identify therapeutic implications, challenges, and future perspectives in this rapidly evolving field. To conclude, a new front has opened with the evidence for a microbial role in stone formation, offering potential applications in the prevention, and treatment of urolithiasis.

Abstract
To explore the roles microbiome of urinary tract played in calcium oxalate stones (CaOx) formation, we collected two sides’ pelvis urine of patients with unilateral CaOx stones to set self-control to diminish the influence of systemic factors. Patients with unilateral CaOx stones were recruited in our study according to strict criteria. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was applied to every pair of pelvis urine. Bacterial genome sequencing of Enterobacter cloacae was conducted and bioinformatic analysis was applied to explore the possible pathways of Enterobacter cloacae inducing CaOx stones formation. In vivo experiments were conducted to validate our claims. Von Kossa staining, TUNEL assay and Western Blot were applied to SD rats exploring the mechanism of stone formation. We found 26 significantly different bacteria between stone sides and non-stone sides’ pelvis urine, among which Enterobacter cloacae ranked the most different. Bacterial genome sequencing of Enterobacter cloacae revealed that its virulence factors included Flagellin, LPS and Fimbrial. GO and KEGG analysis revealed it probably induced CaOx stone formation via ion binging and signaling transduction pathways. The results of animal experiments indicated that Glyoxylic Acid could promote apoptosis and crystal depositions of kidney comparing with control group while pre-injected with Enterobacter cloacae could apparently compound the effects. While Western Blot demonstrated that Glyoxylic Acid or Enterobacter cloacae could increase the expression of IL-6, Mcp-1, BMP2 and OPN in rats’ kidney, Glyoxylic Acid and Enterobacter cloacae together could aggravate these increases. These findings indicated that Enterobacter cloacae might play important roles in CaOx stones formation. However, this study is just a preliminary exploration; further studies still need to be conducted.

Escherichia coli Aggravates Calcium Oxalate Stone Formation via PPK1/Flagellin-Mediated Renal Oxidative Injury and Inflammation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:9949697.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is closely associated with the formation of kidney stones. However, the role of E. coli in CaOx stone formation is not well understood. We explored whether E. coli facilitate CaOx stone formation and its mechanism. Stone and urine cultures were reviewed from kidney stone formers. The ability of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) aggregation was detected to evaluate the influence of uropathogenic E. coli, then gel electrophoresis and nanoLC-MS/MS to detect the crystal-adhered protein. Flagellin (Flic) and polyphosphate kinase 1 (PPK1) were screened out following detection of their role on crystal aggregation, oxidative injury, and inflammation of HK-2 cell in vitro. By transurethral injection of wild-type, Ppk1 mutant and Flic mutant strains of E. coli and intraperitoneally injected with glyoxylate in C57BL/6J female mice to establish an animal model. We found that E. coli was the most common bacterial species in patients with CaOx stone. It could enhance CaOx crystal aggregation both in vitro and in vivo. Flagellin was identified as the key molecules regulated by PPK1, and both of them could facilitate the crystal aggregation and mediated HK-2 cell oxidative injury and activated the inflammation-related NF-κB/P38 signaling pathway. Wild-type strain of E. coli injection significantly increased CaOx deposition and enhanced oxidative injury and inflammation-related protein expression, and this effect could be reversed by Ppk1 or Flic mutation. In conclusion, E. coli promotes CaOx stone formation via enhancing oxidative injury and inflammation regulated by the PPK1/flagellin, which activated NF-κB/P38 pathways, providing new potential drug targets for the renal CaOx calculus precaution and treatment.

Abstract
Animals have stone disease too. There are several animal models for the research of human stone disease. Rodents are the most frequently used for stone research, although they are not prone to forming crystals in the kidneys. Ethylene glycol (EG), sodium oxalate and l-hydroxyproline are common lithogenic agents. Dogs and pigs were also reported as a study animal for stone disease. However, the breeding costs and body size are too high. The most-used genetic study animal for stone disease was the mouse, but it was high-cost. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals can also be light microscopically observed in the Malphigian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster, induced by adding EG to the food. Genetic studies of flies can be done by cross-breeding, and this has a lower cost than using mice. The fly model also has several advantages, including minimal breeding equipment, the fact that it is easier to reach larger numbers in a short time with flies, that crystals can be observed under microscopy, and that they allow genetic study. We suggest the fly will be an ideal animal model for stone research in the future.

Abstract
Background The dogma that urine is sterile in healthy individuals has been overturned by recent studies applying molecular-based methods. Mounting evidences indicate that dysbiosis of the urinary microbiota is associated with several urological diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the urinary microbiome of male patients with calcium-based kidney stones and compare it with those of healthy individuals. Results The diversity of the urinary microbiota in kidney stone patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls based on the Shannon and Simpson index (P < 0.001 for both indices). The urinary microbiota structure also significantly differed between kidney stone patients and healthy controls (ANOSIM, R = 0.11, P < 0.001). Differential representation of inflammation associated bacteria (e.g., Acinetobacter) and several enriched functional pathways were identified in the urine of kidney stones patients. Meanwhile, we found the species diversity, overall composition of microbiota and predicted functional pathways were similar between bladder urine and renal pelvis urine in kidney stone patients. Conclusions A marked dysbiosis of urinary microbiota in male patients with calcium-based kidney stones was observed, which may be helpful to interpret the association between bacteria and calcium-based kidney stones.
