Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is one of the most serious life-threatening complications of sepsis. The pathogenesis of S-AKI is complex and there is no effective specific treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to choose suitable preclinical models that are highly similar to human S-AKI to study the pathogenesis and drug treatment. In this review, we summarized recent advances in the development models of S-AKI, providing reference for the reasonable selection of experimental models as basic research and drug development of S-AKI.

High-volume hemofiltration does not protect human kidney endothelial and tubular epithelial cells from septic plasma-induced injury. Sci Rep 2024; 14:18323. [PMID: 39112634 PMCID: PMC11306637 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69202-z] [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: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
High volume hemofiltration (HVHF) could remove from plasma inflammatory mediators involved in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). The IVOIRE trial did not show improvements of outcome and organ dysfunction using HVHF. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the biological effects of plasma of patients treated by HVHF or standard volume hemofiltration (SVHF). We evaluated leukocyte adhesion, apoptosis and functional alterations of endothelial cells (EC) and tubular epithelial cells (TEC). In vitro data were correlated with plasma levels of TNF-α, Fas-Ligand (FasL), CD40-Ligand (CD40L), von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and endothelial-derived microparticles. An experimental model of in vitro hemofiltration using LPS-activated blood was established to assess cytokine mass adsorption during HVHF or SVHF. Plasma concentrations of TNF-ɑ, FasL, CD40L and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) were elevated at the start (d1h0) of both HVHF and SVHF, significantly decreased after 6 h (d1h6), remained stable after 12 h (d1h12) and then newly increased at 48 h (d3h0). Plasma levels of all these molecules were similar between HVHF- and SVHF-treated patients at all time points considered. In addition, the levels of endothelial microparticles remained always elevated, suggesting the presence of a persistent microvascular injury. Plasma from septic patients induced leukocyte adhesion on EC and TEC through up-regulation of adhesion receptors. Moreover, on EC, septic plasma induced a cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic effect. On TEC, septic plasma exerted a direct pro-apoptotic effect via Fas up-regulation and caspase activation, loss of polarity, altered expression of megalin and tight junction molecules with an impaired ability to internalize albumin. The inhibition of plasma-induced cell injury was concomitant to the decrease of TNF-α, Fas-Ligand and CD40-Ligand levels. The protective effect of both HVHF and SVHF was time-limited, since a further increase of circulating mediators and plasma-induced cell injury was observed after 48 h (d3h0). No significant difference of EC/TEC damage were observed using HVHF- or SVHF-treated plasma. The in vitro hemofiltration model confirmed the absence of a significant modulation of cytokine adsorption between HVHF and SVHF. In comparison to SVHF, HVHF did not increase inflammatory cytokine clearance and did not reverse the detrimental effects of septic plasma-induced EC and TEC injury. Further studies using adsorptive membranes are needed to evaluate the potential role of high dose convective therapies in the limitation of the harmful activity of plasma soluble factors involved in SA-AKI.Trial registration IVOIRE randomized clinical trial; ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00241228) (18/10/2005).

Abstract
BACKGROUND In burn patients, septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) with use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) severely increase morbidity and mortality. Sorbent therapies could be an adjunctive therapy to address the underlying metabolic changes in inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines dysregulated production. METHODS A retrospectively observational study of 35 severe burn patients admitted to the Burn Center (Turin, Italy, from January 2017 to December 2022), who underwent CRRT for AKI-associated septic shock. Out of 35 patients, 11 were treated with CytoSorb® as adjunctive therapy to CRRT (Sorbent group) and 24 patients only with CRRT (Control group). RESULTS The application of CytoSorb® took place in a very dispersed way. Out of 11 patients, 7 started the CRRT together with the sorbent application. The patients of the sorbent group exhibited a significant reduction in norepinephrine use compared to that of the control group. A clinical improvement over the first 4 days of Cytosorb® was observed in both survivors and no survivors of the sorbent group, with significant norepinephrine decreased use on day 4 compared to day 1. In-hospital mortality was 45.4% and 70.8% in the sorbent and control group, respectively, and significantly better at Kaplan-Meier survival analysis at 270 days (p = 0.0445). In both groups, all survivor patients recovered renal function at discharge, whereas no survivors did not. CONCLUSIONS Adjunctive treatment with CytoSorb® for burn patients with AKI-CRRT and septic shock poorly responsive to standard therapy led to a significant clinical improvement, and was associated with a lower mortality rate compared to CRRT alone.

Abstract
Burn injury is associated with a high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with a prevalence of AKI among patients with burns of 9-50%. Despite an improvement in burn injury survival in the past decade, AKI in patients with burns is associated with an extremely poor short-term and long-term prognosis, with a mortality of >80% among those with severe AKI. Factors that contribute to the development of AKI in patients with burns include haemodynamic alterations, burn-induced systemic inflammation and apoptosis, haemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, smoke inhalation injury, drug nephrotoxicity and sepsis. Early and late AKI after burn injury differ in their aetiologies and outcomes. Sepsis is the main driver of late AKI in patients with burns and late AKI has been associated with higher mortality than early AKI. Prevention of early AKI involves correction of hypovolaemia and avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs (for example, hydroxocobalamin), whereas prevention of late AKI involves prevention and early recognition of sepsis as well as avoidance of nephrotoxins. Treatment of AKI in patients with burns remains supportive, including prevention of fluid overload, treatment of electrolyte disturbance and use of kidney replacement therapy when indicated.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury development after trauma, burn, or sepsis occurs frequently but remains a scientific and clinical challenge. Whereas the pathophysiological focus has mainly been on hemodynamics and the downstream renal tubular system, little is known about alterations upstream within the glomerulus post trauma or during sepsis. Particularly for the glomerular endothelial cells, mesangial cells, basal membrane, and podocytes, all of which form the glomerular filter, there are numerous in vitro studies on the molecular and functional consequences upon exposure of single cell types to specific damage- or microbial-associated molecular patterns. By contrast, a lack of knowledge exists in the real world regarding the orchestrated inflammatory response of the glomerulus post trauma or burn or during sepsis. Therefore, we aim to provide an overview on the glomerulus as an immune target but also as a perpetrator of the danger response to traumatic and septic conditions, and present major players involved in the context of critical illness. Finally, we highlight research gaps of this rather neglected but worthwhile area to define future molecular targets and therapeutic strategies to prevent or improve the course of AKI after trauma, burn, or sepsis.

Abstract
Burns are a seriously underestimated form of trauma that not only damage the skin system but also cause various complications, such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent clinical studies have shown that the proportion of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) in burn patients after discharge is significantly higher than that in the general population, but the mechanism behind this is controversial. The traditional view is that CKD is associated with hypoperfusion, AKI, sepsis, and drugs administered in the early stages of burns. However, recent studies have shown that burns can cause long-term immune dysfunction, which is a high-risk factor for CKD. This suggests that burns affect the kidneys more than previously recognized. In other words, severe burns are not only an acute injury but also a chronic disease. Neglecting to study long-term kidney function in burn patients also results in a lack of preventive and therapeutic methods being developed. Furthermore, stem cells and their exosomes have shown excellent comprehensive therapeutic properties in the prevention and treatment of CKD, making them increasingly the focus of research attention. Their engineering strategy further improved the therapeutic performance. This review will focus on the research advances in burns on the development of CKD, illustrating the possible mechanism of burn-induced CKD and introducing potential biological treatment options and their engineering strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a series of vascular parameters derived from abdominal dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT as predictors of 14-day mortality and AKI within 7 days in septic shock. METHODS 144 patients with septic shock and 60 negative cases were included. The vascular parameters from CT were measured and calculated, including aortic density in arterial (Dena-A) and venous phase (Dena-V), renal vein density in arterial (Denrv-A) and venous phase (Denrv-V), and renal vein-to-aortic density ratio in arterial (DenRrv/a-A) and venous phase (DenRrv/a-V). The parameters were compared between patients and controls, and between patients with different clinical outcomes, and assessed for predictive value of 14-day mortality and AKI within 7 days. RESULTS Patients with septic shock presented significantly lower Denrv-A (p < 0.001) and DenRrv/a-A (p = 0.002) levels than the controls. In the septic shock group, patients who died had significantly lower Denrv-A (p = 0.001) and lower DenRrv/a-A (p < 0.001) than those who survived. Patients who developed AKI had significantly lower Denrv-A (p < 0.001) and DenRrv/a-A (p = 0.011) than those who did not. Multivariate analysis suggested DenRrv/a-A as an independent predictor of 14-day mortality (OR 0.012; 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.002,0.086; p < 0.001) and Denrv-A as an independent predictor of AKI (OR 0.989;95% CI:0.982,0.997; p = 0.006). CONCLUSION In septic shock, significant decreases in Denrv-A and DenRrv/a-A were associated with the onset of AKI and predicted higher 14-day mortality. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The renal vein density and renal vein-aortic density ratio in arterial phase of dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT may serve as good predictors of AKI and mortality in septic shock.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid reduction in kidney function caused by various etiologies. Tubular epithelial cell dysregulation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AKI. Tight junction (TJ) is the major molecular structure that connects adjacent epithelial cells and is critical in maintaining barrier function and determining the permeability of epithelia. TJ proteins are dysregulated in various types of AKI, and some reno-protective drugs can reverse TJ changes caused by insult. An in-depth understanding of TJ regulation and its causality with AKI will provide more insight to the disease pathogenesis and will shed light on the potential role of TJs to serve as novel therapeutic targets in AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of sepsis with a mortality rate of up to 40%. The pathogenesis of septic AKI is complex and involves several mechanisms leading to exacerbated inflammatory response associated with renal injury. A large body of evidence suggests that inflammation is tightly linked to AKI through bidirectional interaction between renal and immune cells. Preclinical data from our and other laboratories have identified in complement system activation a crucial mediator of AKI. Partial recovery following AKI could lead to long-term consequences that predispose to chronic dysfunction and may also accelerate the progression of preexisting chronic kidney disease. Recent findings have revealed striking morphological and functional changes in renal parenchymal cells induced by mitochondrial dysfunction, cell cycle arrest via the activation of signaling pathways involved in aging process, microvascular rarefaction, and early fibrosis. Although major advances have been made in our understanding of the pathophysiology of AKI, there are no available preventive and therapeutic strategies in this field. The identification of ideal clinical biomarkers for AKI enables prompt and effective therapeutic strategy that could prevent the progression of renal injury and promote repair process. Therefore, the use of novel biomarkers associated with clinical and functional criteria could provide early interventions and better outcome. Several new drugs for AKI are currently being investigated; however, the complexity of this disease might explain the failure of pharmacological intervention targeting just one of the many systems involved. The hypothesis that blood purification could improve the outcome of septic AKI has attracted much attention. New relevant findings on the role of polymethylmethacrylate-based continuous veno-venous hemofiltration in septic AKI have been reported. Herein, we provide a comprehensive literature review on advances in the pathophysiology of septic AKI and potential therapeutic approaches in this field.

Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102448. [PMID: 36289710 PMCID: PMC9598620 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles form a complex intercellular communication network, shuttling a variety of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, including regulatory RNAs, such as microRNAs. Transfer of these molecules to target cells allows for the modulation of sets of genes and mediates multiple paracrine and endocrine actions. EVs exert broad pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant, and pro-apoptotic effects in sepsis, mediating microvascular dysfunction and multiple organ damage. This deleterious role is well documented in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. On the other hand, protective effects of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles have been reported in experimental models of sepsis. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles recapitulate beneficial cytoprotective, regenerative, and immunomodulatory properties of parental cells and have shown therapeutic effects in experimental models of sepsis with kidney and lung involvement. Extracellular vesicles are also likely to play a role in deranged kidney-lung crosstalk, a hallmark of sepsis, and may be key to a better understanding of shared mechanisms underlying multiple organ dysfunction. In this review, we analyze the state-of-the-art knowledge on the dual role of EVs in sepsis-associated kidney/lung injury and repair. PubMed library was searched from inception to July 2022, using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords related to EVs, sepsis, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute lung injury (ALI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Key findings are summarized into two sections on detrimental and beneficial mechanisms of actions of EVs in kidney and lung injury, respectively. The role of EVs in kidney-lung crosstalk is then outlined. Efforts to expand knowledge on EVs may pave the way to employ them as prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets to prevent or reduce organ damage in sepsis.

Abstract
The endocytosis mechanism is a complicated system that is essential for cell signaling and survival. Megalin, a membrane-associated endocytic receptor, and its related proteins such as cubilin, the neonatal Fc receptor for IgG, and NaPi-IIa are important in receptors-mediated endocytosis. Physiologically, megalin uptakes plasma vitamins and proteins from primary urine, preventing their loss. It also facilitates tubular retrieval of solutes and endogenous components that may be involved in modulation and recovery from kidney injuries. Moreover, megalin is responsible for endocytosis of xenobiotics and drugs in renal tubules, increasing their half-life and/or their toxicity. Fluctuations in megalin expression and/or functionality due to changes in its regulatory mechanisms are associated with some sort of kidney injury. Also, it's an important component of several pathological conditions, including diabetic nephropathy and Dent disease. Thus, exploring the fundamental role of megalin in the kidney might help in the protection and/or treatment of multiple kidney-related diseases. Hence, this review aimed to explore the physiological roles of megalin in the kidney and their implications for kidney-related injuries.

PLoS One 2022; 17:e0272835. [PMID: 36001593 PMCID: PMC9401181 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0272835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Proteinuria results from kidney damage and can be a predictor of illness severity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the optimal timing of proteinuria measurements and the reference values remain undetermined. Our objective was to identify the patterns of proteinuria change associated with mortality in ICU patients with sepsis or shock. Methods This monocentric retrospective cohort study performed from April 2010 to April 2018 involved all ICU patients with sepsis or shock and at least two measurements of proteinuria from a 24h-urine collection during the first 10 days of ICU stay, the first of which was made within 48h after ICU admission. We identified proteinuria trajectories by a semi-parametric mixture model and analysed the association between the trajectories and the mortality at day 28 by Cox proportional-hazards model. Results A total of 3,344 measurements of proteinuria from 659 patients were analysed. Four proteinuria trajectories were identified. Trajectories 1, 2, 3 and 4 comprised 127, 421, 60 and 51 patients, and were characterized by a first proteinuria of 1.14 [0.66–1.55], 0.52 [0.26–0.91], 2.92 [2.38–3.84] and 2.58 [1.75–3.32] g/24h (p<0.001) and a mortality of 24.4%, 38%, 20% and 43% (p = 0.002), respectively. Trajectories 3 and 4 had a high first proteinuria (>2g/24h). Only, the proteinuria of trajectory 4 increased within 3 days following the first measurement and was associated with increased mortality at day 28 (hazard ratio: 2.36 95%CI [1.07–5.19], p = 0.03), regardless of acute renal failure. The factors associated with trajectory 4 were cancer (relative risk: 8.91 95%CI [2.09–38.02], p = 0.003) and use of inotropic drugs (relative risk: 0.17 95%CI [0.04–0.69], p = 0.01). Conclusion This exploratory study of ICU patients with sepsis or shock identified four proteinuria trajectories with distinct patterns of proteinuria change over time and mortality rates. These results provide novel insights into renal pathophysiology and may be helpful to investigate subphenotypes of kidney injury among ICU patients in future studies.

Kynurenine Pathway-An Underestimated Factor Modulating Innate Immunity in Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury? Cells 2022; 11:cells11162604.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, and it accounts for about half of the cases of acute kidney injury (AKI). Although sepsis is the most frequent cause of AKI in critically ill patients, its pathophysiological mechanisms are not well understood. Sepsis has the ability to modulate the function of cells belonging to the innate immune system. Increased activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and production of kynurenines are the major metabolic pathways utilized by innate immunity cells to maintain immunological tolerance. The activation of the kynurenine pathway (KP) plays a dual role in sepsis—in the early stage, the induction of IDO1 elicits strong proinflammatory effects that may lead to tissue damage and septic shock. Afterwards, depletion of tryptophan and production of kynurenines contribute to the development of immunosuppression that may cause the inability to overpower opportunistic infections. The presented review provides available data on the various interdependencies between elements of innate immunity and sepsis-induced AKI (SAKI) with particular emphasis on the immunomodulatory significance of KP in the above processes. We believe that KP activation may be one of the crucial, though underestimated, components of a deregulated host response to infection during SAKI.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common in patients with severe sepsis, and has a high incidence rate and high mortality rate in ICU patients. Most patients progress to AKI before drug treatment is initiated. Early studies suggest that the main mechanism of SA-AKI is that sepsis leads to vasodilation, hypotension and shock, resulting in insufficient renal blood perfusion, finally leading to renal tubular cell ischemia and necrosis. Research results in recent years have shown that programmed cell death such as apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and autophagy play important roles. In the early stage of sepsis-related AKI, autophagy bodies form and inhibit various types of programmed cell death. With the progress of disease, programmed cell death begins. Apoptosis promoter represents caspase-8-induced apoptosis and apoptosis effector represents caspase-3-induced apoptosis, however, caspase-11 and caspase-1 regulate gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis. Caspase-8 and receptor interacting kinase 1 bodies mediate necroptosis. This review focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms of various programmed cell death in sepsis-related AKI.

Acute Kidney Injury in Critically-Ill COVID-19 Patients. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11072029. [PMID: 35407639 PMCID: PMC8999255 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11072029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with COVID-19, however, its mechanism is still controversial, particularly in ICU settings. Urinary proteinuria profile could be a non-invasive tool of interest to scrutinize the pathophysiological process underlying AKI in COVID-19 patients. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study between March 2020 and April 2020. All patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and without end-stage kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy before ICU admission were included. Our objectives were to assess the incidence and risk factors for AKI and to describe its clinical and biological characteristics, particularly its urinary protein profile. Results: Seventy patients were included; 87% needed mechanical ventilation and 61% needed vasopressor during their ICU stay; 64.3% of patients developed AKI and half of them needed dialysis. Total and tubular proteinuria on day 1 were higher in patients with AKI, whereas glomerular proteinuria was similar in both groups. The main risk factor for AKI was shock at admission (OR = 5.47 (1.74−17.2), p < 0.01). Mortality on day 28 was higher in AKI (23/45, 51.1%) than in no-AKI patients (1/25, 4%), p < 0.001. Risk factors for 28-days mortality were AKI with need for renal replacement therapy, non-renal SOFA score and history of congestive heart failure. Conclusions: AKI is common in COVID-19 patients hospitalized in ICU; it seems to be related to tubular lesions rather than glomerular injury and is related to shock at ICU admission.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is known to cause renal function fluctuations during hospitalization, but whether these patients discharged from sepsis were still at greater risks of long-term renal adverse outcomes remains unknown. Methods From 2011 to 2018, we included 1,12,628 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) aged ≥ 20 years. The patients with CKD were further divided into 11,661 sepsis group and 1,00,967 non-sepsis group. The following outcome of interest was included: all-cause mortality, readmission for acute kidney injury, estimated glomerular filtration rate decline ≥50% or doubling of serum creatinine, and end-stage renal disease. Results After propensity score matching, the sepsis group was at higher risks of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.39, 95% CI, 1.31–1.47], readmission for acute kidney injury (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.58–1.76), eGFR decline ≥ 50% or doubling of serum creatinine (HR 3.34, 95% CI 2.78–4.01), and end-stage renal disease (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.34–1.53) than non-sepsis group. Conclusions Our study found that patients with CKD discharged from hospitalization for sepsis have higher risks of subsequent renal adverse events.

Micronutrient Improvement of Epithelial Barrier Function in Various Disease States: A Case for Adjuvant Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23062995.

Abstract
The published literature makes a very strong case that a wide range of disease morbidity associates with and may in part be due to epithelial barrier leak. An equally large body of published literature substantiates that a diverse group of micronutrients can reduce barrier leak across a wide array of epithelial tissue types, stemming from both cell culture as well as animal and human tissue models. Conversely, micronutrient deficiencies can exacerbate both barrier leak and morbidity. Focusing on zinc, Vitamin A and Vitamin D, this review shows that at concentrations above RDA levels but well below toxicity limits, these micronutrients can induce cell- and tissue-specific molecular-level changes in tight junctional complexes (and by other mechanisms) that reduce barrier leak. An opportunity now exists in critical care—but also medical prophylactic and therapeutic care in general—to consider implementation of select micronutrients at elevated dosages as adjuvant therapeutics in a variety of disease management. This consideration is particularly pointed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

[PMID: 34945056 PMCID: PMC8703301 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10245760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The real impact of septic shock-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) on the long-term renal outcome is still debated, and little is known about AKI-burn patients. In a cohort of burn survivors treated by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and sorbent technology (CPFA-CRRT), we investigated the long-term outcome of glomerular and tubular function. METHODS Out of 211 burn patients undergoing CRRT from 2001 to 2017, 45 survived, 40 completed the clinical follow-up (cumulative observation period 4067 months, median 84 months, IR 44-173), and 30 were alive on 31 December 2020. Besides creatinine and urine albumin, in the 19 patients treated with CPFA-CRRT, we determined the normalized GFR by 99mTc-DTPA (NRI-GFR) and studied glomerular and tubular urine protein markers. RESULTS At the follow-up endpoint, the median plasma creatinine and urine albumin were 0.99 (0.72-1.19) and 0.0 mg/dL (0.0-0.0), respectively. NRI-GFR was 103.0 mL/min (93.4-115). Four patients were diabetic, and 22/30 presented at least one risk factor for chronic disease (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and overweight). Proteinuria decreased over time, from 0.47 g/day (0.42-0.52) at 6 months to 0.134 g/day (0.09-0.17) at follow-up endpoint. Proteinuria positively correlated with the peak of plasma creatinine (r 0.6953, p 0.006) and the number of CRRT days (r 0.5650, p 0.035) during AKI course, and negatively with NRI-GFR (r -0.5545, p 0.049). In seven patients, urine protein profile showed a significant increase of glomerular marker albumin and glomerular/tubular index. CONCLUSIONS Burn patients who experienced septic shock and AKI treated with CRRT had a long-term expectation of preserved renal function. However, these patients were more predisposed to microalbuminuria, diabetes, and the presence of risk factors for intercurrent comorbidities and chronic renal disease.

Neutrophil-derived heparin binding protein triggers vascular leakage and synergizes with myeloperoxidase at the early stage of severe burns (With video). BURNS & TRAUMA 2021; 9:tkab030.

Abstract
Background Burn shock caused by vascular leakage is one of the main causes of high mortality in severe burn injury. However, the pathophysiological mechanism of vascular leakage is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of vascular leakage in the early stage of severe burn and provide a new target for the treatment of severe burns. Methods Neutrophils were isolated from human peripheral blood by magnetic beads sorting. ELISA was used to detect neutrophil-derived granule proteins and glycocalyx injury products in plasma. The vascular leakage and neutrophil movement were assessed by in vivo laser confocal imaging in mice, and high-quality video were provided.. Adhesion-related molecules were investigated by qRT-PCR. The damage to glycocalyx of mice vascular endothelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. Proteomic analysis, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were used to further study the relationship between human peripheral blood neutrophil-derived hypochlorite (HOCl) and CD44 of human vascular endothelial cells. Results In this study, we found that rapidly increasing activated neutrophils secrete heparin binding protein (HBP) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) after severe burn injury. Increased HBP triggers vascular leakage with synergy of MPO, results in systemic edema and burn shock. Furthermore, we found that the MPO catalytic product HOCl but not MPO triggers CD44 extracellular domain shedding from vascular endothelial cells to damage the glycocalyx. Damage to the glycocalyx results in firm adhesion of neutrophils and increases vascular leakage. However, MPO inhibitors partially protect the glycocalyx of vascular endothelial cells. The combination of HBP and MPO inhibitors markedly reduces vascular leakage and systemic edema in the early stage of severe burns. Conclusions Taken together, these data reveal that neutrophil-derived HBP and MPO play an important synergies role in triggering vascular leakage at the early stage of severe burns. Targeted intervention in these two biomolecules may introduce new strategies for helping to reduce large amount of fluid loss and subsequent burn shock.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine whether the effects and underlying mechanisms of ticagrelor in a rat model of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) were mediated via the CD62P pathway. A total of 15 rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: Normal, sham, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), CLP + clinical dose of ticagrelor (CCD) and CLP + loading dose of ticagrelor (CLD). Ticagrelor was administered 12 h before modeling, immediately after modeling, and 12 h after modeling at a dose of 8.6 and 46.42 mg/kg in the CCD and CLD groups, respectively. Rats in the normal, sham and CLP groups were treated with the same volume of distilled water. Serum creatinine (SCr), CD62P and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the renal tissue and the apoptosis rate of renal cells were increased in the CLP group, compared with in the normal and sham groups (P<0.05). In addition, ticagrelor treatment reduced SCr, CD62P and IL-1β expression levels, renal tissue MPO activity and renal cell apoptosis in rats with sepsis-induced AKI (P<0.05). CD62P expression was closely associated with the occurrence of sepsis-induced AKI. The mechanism of ticagrelor-mediated reductions in inflammation, renal neutrophil infiltration and renal cell apoptosis is possibly associated with reductions in CD62P expression.

Abstract
Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are a group of immunostimulatory molecules, which take part in inflammatory response after tissue injury. Kidney-specific DAMPs include Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, crystals, and uromodulin, released by tubular damage for example. Non-kidney-specific DAMPs include intracellular particles such as nucleus [histones, high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)] and cytosol parts. DAMPs trigger innate immunity by activating the NRLP3 inflammasome, G-protein coupled class receptors or the Toll-like receptor. Tubular necrosis leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) in either septic, ischemic or toxic conditions. Tubular necrosis releases DAMPs such as histones and HMGB1 and increases vascular permeability, which perpetuates shock and hypoperfusion via Toll Like Receptors. In acute tubular necrosis, intracellular abundance of NADPH may explain a chain reaction where necrosis spreads from cell to cell. The nature AKI in intensive care units does not have preclinical models that meet a variation of blood perfusion or a variation of glomerular filtration within hours before catecholamine infusion. However, the dampening of several DAMPs in AKI could provide organ protection. Research should be focused on the numerous pathophysiological pathways to identify the relative contribution to renal dysfunction. The therapeutic perspectives could be strategies to suppress side effect of DAMPs and to promote renal function regeneration.

Abstract
Background There is no treatment for septic acute kidney injury (sAKI). The anti-inflammatory activity of prolonged-release pirfenidone (PR-PFD) could be beneficial in this clinical setting. Methods This study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial in sAKI patients with nephrology consultation at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara, in addition to the usual treatment of AKI associated with sepsis; patients were randomized to receive either PR-PFD at 1,200 mg/day (group A) or 600 mg/day (group B) or a matched placebo for 7 consecutive days. The primary objective was the decrease in serum creatinine (sCr) and increase in urinary volume (UV); the secondary objectives were changes in serum electrolytes, acid-base status, and mortality. Results Between August 2016 and August 2017, 88 patients were randomized. The mean age was 54 (17 ± SD) years, and 47% were male. The main site of infection was the lung (39.8%), septic shock was present in 39.1% of the cases, and the mean SOFA score was 8.8 points. 28 patients received PFD 1,200 mg, 30 patients received PFD 600 mg, and 30 patients received placebo. During the study, sCr did not differ among the groups. The reversion rate of sCr, UV, and mortality was not different among the groups (p=0.70, p=0.47, and p=0.38, respectively). Mild adverse events were not different among the groups. Conclusion PR-PFD did not improve the clinical course of sAKI and seemed to be safe in terms of adverse events. This trial is registered with NCT02530359.

Abstract
Objective To explore the protective roles of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on acute renal injury (AKI) induced by sepsis. Methods Firstly, an animal model of sepsis-induced AKI was established by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into mice. The mice were pretreated with an intraperitoneal injection of 1, 3, and 5 mg/(kg·d) APS for 3 consecutive days. The severity of kidney injury was then scored by histopathological analysis, and the concentrations of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were determined as well. In in vitro experiments, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce HK-2 cell injury to establish a sepsis-induced AKI cell model, and the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was performed to determine the cytotoxicity and appropriate experimental concentration of APS. Then, cells were divided into the control, LPS, and APS+LPS groups. Cell apoptosis and inflammation-related TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were determined by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. The microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of cells, and the cell migration ability was measured by wound healing assay. RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were used to determine the mRNA and protein levels of apoptosis-related factors including caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax, and Bcl-2; endoplasmic reticulum stress- (ERS-) related biomarkers including C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein78 (GRP78); and epithelial-mesenchymal transition- (EMT-) related biomarkers including E-cadherin, Snail, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMΑ), and Vimentin. Results In vivo experiments in mice showed that APS can reverse LPS-induced kidney damage in a concentration-dependent manner (P < 0.05); the concentrations of BUN and Scr were increased (all P < 0.05); similarly, the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased as well (all P < 0.05). In in vitro experiments, the results showed that LPS can significantly cause HK-2 cell damage and induce apoptosis, inflammation, ERS, and EMT. When APS concentration was in the range of 0-200 μg/mL, it had no cytotoxicity in HK-2 cells, and 100 μg/mL APS pretreatment could significantly mitigate the decrease of cell activity induced by LPS (P < 0.05). Compared with the LPS group, APS pretreatment could inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors including TNF-α, IL-1 β, IL-6, and IL-8 (all P < 0.05), reducing the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.05), suppressing the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, and Bax, but upregulating the expression levels of Bcl-2. In ERS, APS pretreatment inhibited LPS-induced upregulation of CHOP and GRP78. Moreover, in EMT, APS pretreatment could inhibit the morphological changes of cells, downregulate the migration, decrease the expression of EMT biomarkers, and inhibit the process of EMT. Conclusion APS could alleviate sepsis-induced AKI by regulating inflammation, apoptosis, ERS, and EMT.

Abstract
The kidneys' integrative responses to heat stress aid thermoregulation, cardiovascular control, and water and electrolyte regulation. Recent evidence suggests the kidneys are at increased risk of pathological events during heat stress, namely acute kidney injury (AKI), and that this risk is compounded by dehydration and exercise. This heat stress related AKI is believed to contribute to the epidemic of chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurring in occupational settings. It is estimated that AKI and CKD affect upwards of 45 million individuals in the global workforce. Water and electrolyte disturbances and AKI, both of which are representative of kidney-related pathology, are the two leading causes of hospitalizations during heat waves in older adults. Structural and physiological alterations in aging kidneys likely contribute to this increased risk. With this background, this comprehensive narrative review will provide the first aggregation of research into the integrative physiological response of the kidneys to heat stress. While the focus of this review is on the human kidneys, we will utilize both human and animal data to describe these responses to passive and exercise heat stress, and how they are altered with heat acclimation. Additionally, we will discuss recent studies that indicate an increased risk of AKI due to exercise in the heat. Lastly, we will introduce the emerging public health crisis of older adults during extreme heat events and how the aging kidneys may be more susceptible to injury during heat stress.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication of sepsis with a high mortality rate. In this study, we focus on the renal injury caused by the immune response of renal tubular epithelial cells and inflammation-induced renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. We studied the role of GRP120 in the inflammation and apoptosis of human renal cell line HK-2 and mouse primary renal tubular epithelial cells. GPR120 agonist GW9508 activated the GPR120 pathway. Inflammatory factors were detected using quantitative real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell apoptosis experiments included the annexin V and PI double-staining method combined with flow cytometry, TUNEL method, and Western blot. The level of cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and iNOS was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in HK-2 and TECs after the activation of the GPR120 pathway. Besides, the cell apoptosis of both cells increased. Overexpressed GPR120 and shGPR120 were established. Treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased the level of cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and iNOS in HK-2 cell and TECs. Compared with control-LPS and negative control (NC)-LPS, the overexpression of GPR120 and shGPR120 could decrease and increase the level of secreted cytokines significantly (P < 0.05), respectively, after LPS-induced apoptosis. After H2O2- and LPS-induced apoptosis, respectively, compared with the control and NC groups, overexpressed GPR120 and shGPR120 could reduce and increase the expression of caspase-3, respectively. GPR120 could suppress the cellular immune response and apoptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells, thereby possibly protecting the kidney and relieving sepsis-induced AKI.

Abstract
Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles that not only satisfy the high metabolic demands of the kidney but sense and respond to kidney injury-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Kidneys are rich in mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in the progression of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Mitochondrial responses to specific stimuli are highly regulated and synergistically modulated by tightly interconnected processes, including mitochondrial dynamics (fission, fusion) and mitophagy. The counterbalance between these processes is essential in maintaining a healthy network of mitochondria. Recent literature suggests that alterations in mitochondrial dynamics are implicated in kidney injury and the progression of kidney diseases. A decrease in mitochondrial fusion promotes fission-induced mitochondrial fragmentation, but a reduction in mitochondrial fission produces excessive mitochondrial elongation. The removal of dysfunctional mitochondria by mitophagy is crucial for their quality control. Defective mitochondrial function disrupts cellular redox potential and can cause cell death. Mitochondrial DNA derived from damaged cells also act as damage-associated molecular patterns to recruit immune cells and the inflammatory response can further exaggerate kidney injury. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. We discuss the processes that control mitochondrial stress responses to kidney injury and review recent advances in understanding the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in inflammation and tissue damage through the use of different experimental models of kidney disease. We also describe potential mitochondria-targeted therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a common sequela after major burn injury, but only a small proportion of patients need renal replacement therapy. In the majority of patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsides before discharge from the burn center but limited literature exists on long-term outcomes. A few studies report an increased risk for chronic renal failure after burn injury. We investigated the long-term outcome of severely burned patients receiving renal replacement therapy during acute burn injury treatment. Data on 68 severely burned patients who received renal replacement therapy in Helsinki Burn Centre between November 1988 and December 2015 were collected retrospectively. Thirty-two patients survived and remained for follow-up after the primary hospital stay until December 31, 2016. About 56.3% of discharged patients were alive at the end of follow-up. In 81.3% of discharged patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsided before discharge. Two patients received renal replacement therapy for longer than 3 months; however, need for renal replacement therapy subsided in both patients. One patient required dialysis several years later on after the need for renal replacement therapy had subsided. This study showed that long-term need for renal replacement therapy is rare after severe burn injury. In the vast majority of patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsided before discharge from primary care. Acute kidney injury in association with burns is a potential but small risk factor for later worsening of kidney function in fragile individuals.

Abstract
Purpose Sepsis is the most frequent cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The “Acute Disease Quality Initiative Workgroup” recently proposed new definitions for AKI, classifying it as transient or persistent. We investigated the incidence, mortality, and host response aberrations associated with transient and persistent AKI in sepsis patients. Methods A total of 1545 patients admitted with sepsis to 2 intensive care units in the Netherlands were stratified according to the presence (defined by any urine or creatinine RIFLE criterion within the first 48 h) and evolution of AKI (with persistent defined as remaining > 48 h). We determined 30-day mortality by logistic regression adjusting for confounding variables and analyzed 16 plasma biomarkers reflecting pathways involved in sepsis pathogenesis (n = 866) and blood leukocyte transcriptomes (n = 392). Results AKI occurred in 37.7% of patients, of which 18.4% was transient and 81.6% persistent. On admission, patients with persistent AKI had higher disease severity scores and more frequently had severe (injury or failure) RIFLE AKI stages than transient AKI patients. Persistent AKI, but not transient AKI, was associated with increased mortality by day 30 and up to 1 year. Persistent AKI was associated with enhanced and sustained inflammatory and procoagulant responses during the first 4 days, and a more severe loss of vascular integrity compared with transient AKI. Baseline blood gene expression showed minimal differences with respect to the presence or evolution of AKI. Conclusion Persistent AKI is independently associated with sepsis mortality, as well as with sustained inflammatory and procoagulant responses, and loss of vascular integrity as compared with transient AKI.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in burn patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Our primary aim was to review incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in burn patients admitted to the ICU. Secondary aims were to review the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and impact on health care costs. Methods We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, UpToDate, and NICE through 3 December 2018. All reviews in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews except protocols were added to the PubMed search. We searched for studies on AKI according to Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE); Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN); and/or Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria in burn patients admitted to the ICU. We collected data on AKI incidence, risk factors, use of RRT, renal recovery, length of stay (LOS), mortality, and health care costs. Results We included 33 observational studies comprising 8200 patients. Overall study quality, scored according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, was moderate. Random effect model meta-analysis revealed that the incidence of AKI among burn patients in the ICU was 38 (30–46) %. Patients with AKI were almost evenly distributed in the mild, moderate, and severe AKI subgroups. RRT was used in 12 (8–16) % of all patients. Risk factors for AKI were high age, chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high Total Body Surface Area percent burnt, high Abbreviated Burn Severity Index score, inhalation injury, rhabdomyolysis, surgery, high Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, sepsis, and mechanical ventilation. AKI patients had 8.6 (4.0–13.2) days longer ICU LOS and higher mortality than non-AKI patients, OR 11.3 (7.3–17.4). Few studies reported renal recovery, and no study reported health care costs. Conclusions AKI occurred in 38% of burn patients admitted to the ICU, and 12% of all patients received RRT. Presence of AKI was associated with increased LOS and mortality.

Coupled-plasma filtration and adsorption for severe burn patients with septic shock and acute kidney injury treated with renal replacement therapy. Burns 2019; 46:190-198. [PMID: 31787473 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2019.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2018] [Revised: 05/23/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coupled-plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA) is a sorbent-based technology aimed at removing soluble mediators of septic shock. We present our experience on the use of CPFA in septic shock severe burn patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) needing renal replacement therapy (RRT) with the main goal to evaluate efficacy and safety of CPFA in this specific subset of septic shock patients. METHODS In this observational study, we retrospectively reviewed the medical notes of all burn patients admitted to our adult Burn Center who received CPFA, as part of the septic shock treatment requiring RRT, between January 2001 and December 2017 (CPFA group). We compared CPFA group with all the burn patients admitted to our Center in the same period of time, with the same range of relevant clinical characteristics, who developed AKI and were treated with RRT, but not CPFA (control group). We collected demographic characteristics, burn size, Sequential Organ Assessment Failure (SOFA) score, microbiological data, and patient outcome, in terms of in-hospital mortality rate and the probability of survival calculated using the revised Baux score. We also collected data regarding CPFA safety (hemorrhagic episodes, catheter associated-complications, hypersensitivity reactions) and efficiency (number and duration of CPFA sessions, plasma treated amount, plasma processed dose). RESULTS 39 severe burn patients were treated with CPFA (CPFA group) (mean age 46.0 years, range 40.0-56.0 years; mean burn size 48.0% TBSA, range 35.0-60.0% TBSA), and 87 patients treated with RRT, but not CPFA, who had similar clinical characteristics (control group). Observed mortality rate was 51.3% in the CPFA group and 77.1% in the control group (p 0.004). Regarding factors affecting survival in the CPFA group, SOFA score on the 1st day of CPFA resulted significant (OR 2.016, 95% CI, 1.221-3.326; p < 0.004) in the multivariate analysis logistic model. CONCLUSIONS CPFA treatment for burn patients with AKI-RRT and septic shock, sustained by bacterial strains non or poorly responsive to therapy, was associated with a lower mortality rate, compared to RRT alone. However, further research, such as large prospective studies, is required to clarify the role of CPFA in the treatment of burns with septic shock and AKI-RRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We developed quantitative methods to analyze microbubble kinetics based on renal contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging combined with measurements of sublingual microcirculation on a fixed area to quantify early microvascular alterations in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury. DESIGN Prospective controlled animal experiment study. SETTING Hospital-affiliated animal research institution. SUBJECTS Fifteen female pigs. INTERVENTIONS The animals were instrumented with a renal artery flow probe after surgically exposing the kidney. Nine animals were given IV infusion of lipopolysaccharide to induce septic shock, and six were used as controls. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging was performed on the kidney before, during, and after having induced shock. Sublingual microcirculation was measured continuously using the Cytocam on the same spot. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound effectively allowed us to develop new analytical methods to measure dynamic variations in renal microvascular perfusion during shock and resuscitation. Renal microvascular hypoperfusion was quantified by decreased peak enhancement and an increased ratio of the final plateau intensity to peak enhancement. Reduced intrarenal blood flow could be estimated by measuring the microbubble transit times between the interlobar arteries and capillary vessels in the renal cortex. Sublingual microcirculation measured using the Cytocam in a fixed area showed decreased functional capillary density associated with plugged sublingual capillary vessels that persisted during and after fluid resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS In our lipopolysaccharide model, with resuscitation targeted at blood pressure, contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging can identify renal microvascular alterations by showing prolonged contrast enhancement in microcirculation during shock, worsened by resuscitation with fluids. Concomitant analysis of sublingual microcirculation mirrored those observed in the renal microcirculation.

Abstract
Background The renal assist device (RAD) is a blood purification system containing viable renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) that has been proposed for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) and multiple organ failure. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are oxygen carriers used for organ preservation in transplantation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PFCs on hypoxia- and sepsis-induced TEC injury and on renal CD133+ progenitor differentiation in a microenvironment similar to the RAD. Methods TECs were seeded in a polysulphone hollow fibre under hypoxia or cultured with plasma from 10 patients with sepsis-associated AKI in the presence or absence of PFCs and were tested for cytotoxicity (XTT assay), apoptosis (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay, caspases, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Fas/Fas Ligand pathway activation), mitochondrial activity, cell polarity [transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER)] and adenosine triphosphate production. The effect of PFCs on proliferation and differentiation of human CD133+ progenitors was also studied. Results In the presence of PFCs, TECs seeded into the polysulphone hollow fibre showed increased viability and expression of insulin-like growth factor 1, hepatocyte growth factor and macrophage-stimulating protein. Plasma from septic patients induced TEC apoptosis, disruption of oxidative metabolism, alteration of cell polarity and albumin uptake, down-regulation of the tight junction protein ZO-1 and the endocytic receptor megalin on the TEC surface. These detrimental effects were significantly reduced by PFCs. Moreover, PFCs induced CD133+ renal progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation towards an epithelial/tubular-like phenotype. Conclusions PFCs improved the viability and metabolic function of TECs seeded within a polysulphone hollow fibre and subjected to plasma from septic AKI patients. Additionally, PFCs promoted differentiation towards a tubular/epithelial phenotype of CD133+ renal progenitor cells.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury following traumatic brain injury is associated with poor outcome. We investigated in vitro the effects of plasma of brain injured patients with acute tubular kidney injury on kidney tubular epithelial cell function. we performed a prospective observational clinical study in ICU in a trauma centre of the University hospital in Italy including twenty-three ICU patients with traumatic brain injury consecutively enrolled. Demographic data were recorded on admission: age 39 ± 19, Glasgow Coma Score 5 (3–8). Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and inflammatory mediators were measured in plasma on admission and after 24, 48 and 72 hours; urine were collected for immunoelectrophoresis having healthy volunteers as controls. Human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells were stimulated with patients or controls plasma. Adhesion of freshly isolated human neutrophils and trans-epithelial electrical resistance were assessed; cell viability (XTT assay), apoptosis (TUNEL staining), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Megalin expression (quantitative real-time PCR) were measured. All patients with normal serum creatinine showed increased plasmatic Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and increased urinary Retinol Binding Protein and α1-microglobulin. Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin was significantly correlated with both inflammatory mediators and markers of tubular damage. Patient’ plasma incubated with tubular cells significantly increased adhesion of neutrophils, reduced trans-epithelial electrical resistance, exerted a cytotoxic effect and triggered apoptosis and down-regulated the endocytic receptor Megalin compared to control. Plasma of brain injured patients with increased markers of subclinical acute kidney induced a pro-inflammatory phenotype, cellular dysfunction and apoptotic death in tubular epithelial cells.

Abstract
Ample experimental evidence suggests that sepsis could interfere with any mitochondrial function; however, the true role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction is still a matter of controversy. This review is primarily focused on mitochondrial oxygen consumption in various animal models of sepsis in relation to human disease and potential sources of variability in experimental results documenting decrease, increase or no change in mitochondrial respiration in various organs and species. To date, at least three possible explanations of sepsis-associated dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory system and consequently impaired energy production have been suggested: 1. Mitochondrial dysfunction is secondary to tissue hypoxia. 2. Mitochondria are challenged by various toxins or mediators of inflammation that impair oxygen utilization (cytopathic hypoxia). 3. Compromised mitochondrial respiration could be an active measure of survival strategy resembling stunning or hibernation. To reveal the true role of mitochondria in sepsis, sources of variability of experimental results based on animal species, models of sepsis, organs studied, or analytical approaches should be identified and minimized by the use of appropriate experimental models resembling human sepsis, wider use of larger animal species in preclinical studies, more detailed mapping of interspecies differences and organ-specific features of oxygen utilization in addition to use of complex and standardized protocols evaluating mitochondrial respiration.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are cell-derived membrane particles ranging from 30 to 5,000 nm in size, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. They are released under physiological conditions, but also upon cellular activation, senescence, and apoptosis. They play an important role in intercellular communication. Their release may also maintain cellular integrity by ridding the cell of damaging substances. This review describes the biogenesis, uptake, and detection of extracellular vesicles in addition to the impact that they have on recipient cells, focusing on mechanisms important in the pathophysiology of kidney diseases, such as thrombosis, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, immune modulation, and inflammation. In kidney diseases, extracellular vesicles may be utilized as biomarkers, as they are detected in both blood and urine. Furthermore, they may contribute to the pathophysiology of renal disease while also having beneficial effects associated with tissue repair. Because of their role in the promotion of thrombosis, inflammation, and immune-mediated disease, they could be the target of drug therapy, whereas their favorable effects could be utilized therapeutically in acute and chronic kidney injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a fatal complication of burn injury. Few systematic reviews to date have focused on the risk factors predisposing to AKI in patients with burn injury. The aim of this article is to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of AKI in burn patients, thus providing theoretical evidence for prevention and treatment. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies determining the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in patients with burn injury. An electronic search (up to April 2016) was performed using Pubmed, Embase, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library databases. Finally, a total of 18 articles (nine prospective cohort, seven retrospective cohort, two case-control) meeting the eligibility criteria were included. The pooled incidence of AKI was 39.6% (95% confidence interval = 34.7-44.4%). Significant risk factors for the occurrence of AKI included age (odds ratio [OR] = 3.78 [1.28-6.27]), TBSA (OR = 15.66 [11.01-20.31]), full-thickness TBSA (OR = 15.66 [11.01-20.31]), flame burn (OR = 1.56 [1.09-2.25]), inhalation injury (OR = 2.97 [1.80-4.89]), abbreviated burn severity index on admission (OR = 2.42 [1.87-2.98]), sequential organ failure assessment score on admission (OR = 2.69 [1.39-3.98]), baseline blood urea nitrogen (OR = 2.11 [0.72-3.51]), serum creatinine (OR = 2.69 [1.39-3.98]), and sepsis (OR = 4.42 [1.75-11.18]). In addition, burn patients with AKI are more likely to have long stay in intensive care unit and high mortality. AKI is a common complication and occurs at a remarkable rate in burn patients. We identified 10 variables as independent risk factors for the development of AKI in burn patients. Our findings may help clinicians to develop effective preventive and therapeutic strategies and provide appropriate, timely initial treatment.

Abstract
Sepsis is a serious medical condition that can lead to multi-organ failure and shock, and it is associated with increased mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of sepsis in critically ill patients, and often requires renal replacement therapy. The pathophysiology of AKI in sepsis has not yet been fully defined. In the past, classic theories were mainly focused on systemic hemodynamic derangements, underscoring the key role of whole kidney hypoperfusion due to reduced renal blood flow. However, a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence now shows that, at least in the early phase of sepsis-associated AKI, renal blood flow is normal, or even increased. This could suggest a dissociation between renal blood flow and kidney function. In addition, the scant data available from kidney biopsies in human studies do not support diffuse acute tubular necrosis as the predominant lesion. Instead, increasing importance is now attributed to kidney damage resulting from a complex interaction between immunologic mechanisms, inflammatory cascade activation, and deranged coagulation pathways, leading to microvascular dysfunction, endothelial damage, leukocyte/platelet activation with the formation of micro-thrombi, epithelial tubular cell injury and dysfunction. Moreover, the same processes, through maladaptive responses leading to fibrosis acting from the very beginning, may set the stage for progression to chronic kidney disease in survivors from sepsis-associated AKI episodes. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize and discuss the latest evidence on the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in septic AKI, based on the most recent data from the literature.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin, the major cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. It is able to activate the host defense system through the interaction with Toll-like receptor 4, thus triggering pro-inflammatory mechanisms. When the production of inflammatory mediators becomes uncontrolled and excessive, septic shock develops with multiple organ dysfunction, such as myocardial and renal impairment, which are hallmarks of cardiorenal syndrome type 5. In this review, we will analyze the role of endotoxin in the pathogenesis of sepsis, its effects on cardiac and renal interactions in the setting of cardiorenal syndrome type 5 and the possible use of extracorporeal therapies in this clinical condition.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes and microvesicles, are host cell-derived packages of information that allow cell-cell communication and enable cells to rid themselves of unwanted substances. The release and uptake of extracellular vesicles has important physiological functions and may also contribute to the development and propagation of inflammatory, vascular, malignant, infectious and neurodegenerative diseases. This Review describes the different types of extracellular vesicles, how they are detected and the mechanisms by which they communicate with cells and transfer information. We also describe their physiological functions in cellular interactions, such as in thrombosis, immune modulation, cell proliferation, tissue regeneration and matrix modulation, with an emphasis on renal processes. We discuss how the detection of extracellular vesicles could be utilized as biomarkers of renal disease and how they might contribute to disease processes in the kidney, such as in acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, renal transplantation, thrombotic microangiopathies, vasculitides, IgA nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infection, cystic kidney disease and tubulopathies. Finally, we consider how the release or uptake of extracellular vesicles can be blocked, as well as the associated benefits and risks, and how extracellular vesicles might be used to treat renal diseases by delivering therapeutics to specific cells.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and sepsis carry consensus definitions. The simultaneous presence of both identifies septic AKI. Septic AKI is the most common AKI syndrome in ICU and accounts for approximately half of all such AKI. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood, but animal models and lack of histological changes suggest that, at least initially, septic AKI may be a functional phenomenon with combined microvascular shunting and tubular cell stress. The diagnosis remains based on clinical assessment and measurement of urinary output and serum creatinine. However, multiple biomarkers and especially cell cycle arrest biomarkers are gaining acceptance. Prevention of septic AKI remains based on the treatment of sepsis and on early resuscitation. Such resuscitation relies on the judicious use of both fluids and vasoactive drugs. In particular, there is strong evidence that starch-containing fluids are nephrotoxic and decrease renal function and suggestive evidence that chloride-rich fluid may also adversely affect renal function. Vasoactive drugs have variable effects on renal function in septic AKI. At this time, norepinephrine is the dominant agent, but vasopressin may also have a role. Despite supportive therapies, renal function may be temporarily or completely lost. In such patients, renal replacement therapy (RRT) becomes necessary. The optimal intensity of this therapy has been established, while the timing of when to commence RRT is now a focus of investigation. If sepsis resolves, the majority of patients recover renal function. Yet, even a single episode of septic AKI is associated with increased subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Megalin is a multiligand, endocytic receptor that is important for the normal, proximal tubule reabsorption of filtered proteins, hormones, enzymes, essential nutrients, and nephrotoxins. Megalin dysfunction has been associated with acute, as well as chronic kidney diseases. Tubular proteinuria has been observed following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), suggesting megalin dysfunction; however, the pathophysiological mechanism has not been determined. To identify potential regulators of megalin expression, we examined renal microRNAs (miRNAs) expression and observed an upregulation of microRNA-148b (miR-148b) in obstructed mouse kidneys 7 days after UUO, which was associated with a significant reduction in proximal tubule megalin expression and accumulation of megalin ligands. By in silico miRNA target prediction analysis, we identified megalin messenger RNA (mRNA) as a potential target of miR-148b and confirmed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay that miR-148b targeted the 3'-untranslated region of the megalin gene. Transfection of LLC-PK1 cells with miR-148b mimic reduced endogenous megalin mRNA and protein levels in a concentration-dependent manner, while transfection with miR-148b inhibitor resulted in an increase. Our findings suggest that miR-148b directly downregulates megalin expression and that miR-148b negatively regulates megalin expression in UUO-induced kidney injury. Furthermore, the identification of a miRNA regulating megalin expression may allow for targeted interventions to modulate megalin function and proximal tubule uptake of proteins, as well as other ligands.

Abstract
Background Continuous veno-venous hemodialysis with high cut-off membranes (HCO-CVVHD) removes inflammatory mediators involved in organ dysfunction during sepsis. The aim of the present study was to assess the variations in SOFA score and identify early predictors of short-term mortality in a cohort of patients with septic shock, treated with HCO-CVVHD for acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods An observational prospective multicenter cohort study was conducted in four mixed medical-surgical ICUs. Thirty-eight patients with septic shock and AKI (KDIGO stage≥1) treated with HCO-CVVHD have been included in this study. Patients were divided into Survivors and non-Survivors according to mortality observed at 72nd hr of treatment. The variation of SOFA scores and clinical/biochemical parameters were described over time for the entire population and specifically for Survivors and non-Survivors. Similarly, circulating inflammatory mediators (as IL-6, TNF-a and IL-10) were described over time. A logistic regression analysis was used to identify the baseline clinical and biochemical parameters associated with 72 hrs-ICU mortality. Results Overall, the mean SOFA score was 12±3 at baseline, 10.9±3 at 6hrs, 9.8±3 at 12hrs, 8.9±3.3 at 24 hrs, and 8±3.5 at 48 hrs after HCO-CVVHD initiation; and 6.5±2.7 at 24 hrs and 6.6±3 at 48 hrs after HCO-CVVHD discontinuation. In the multivariate regression analysis, baseline serum lactate levels and AKI stage independently correlated with short-term mortality during HCO-CVVHD. A significant reduction was observed in circulating levels of TNFα and IL-6 among Survivors. Conclusions SOFA score significantly decreased early after initiation of HCO-CVVHD in patients with septic AKI. Baseline lactate levels and the AKI stage resulted to be associated to 72 hrs-ICU-mortality.

Abstract
Gram-negative sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critical ill patients. Recent findings in molecular biology and in signaling pathways have enhanced our understanding of its pathogenesis and opened up opportunities of innovative therapeutic approaches. Endotoxin plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of multi-organ dysfunction in the setting of gram-negative sepsis. Indeed, heart and kidney impairments seem to be induced by the release of circulating pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mediators triggered by endotoxin interaction with immune cells. These molecules are responsible for cellular apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest, and microRNAs activation. Therefore, the early identification of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and heart dysfunction may improve the patient clinical outcome. In this report, we will consider the role of endotoxin in the pathogenesis of sepsis, its effects on both cardiac and renal functions, and the interactions between these 2 systems in the setting of cardiorenal syndromes (CRS), particularly in CRS type 5. Finally, we will discuss the possible role of extracorporeal therapies in reducing endotoxin levels.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after severe burns. Melatonin has been reported to protect against multiple organ injuries by increasing the expression of SIRT1, a silent information regulator that regulates stress responses, inflammation, cellular senescence and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of melatonin on renal tissues of burned rats and the role of SIRT1 involving the effects. Rat severely burned model was established, with or without the administration of melatonin and SIRT1 inhibitor. The renal function and histological manifestations were determined to evaluate the severity of kidney injury. The levels of acetylated-p53 (Ac-p53), acetylated-p65 (Ac-p65), NF-κB, acetylated-forkhead box O1 (Ac-FoxO1), Bcl-2 and Bax were analyzed to study the underlying mechanisms. Our results suggested that severe burns could induce acute kidney injury, which could be partially reversed by melatonin. Melatonin attenuated oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis accompanied by the increased expression of SIRT1. The protective effects of melatonin were abrogated by the inhibition of SIRT1. In conclusion, we demonstrate that melatonin improves severe burn-induced AKI via the activation of SIRT1 signaling.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an abrupt decrease in kidney function that takes place over hours to days. Sepsis is the leading cause of AKI and portends a particularly high morbidity and mortality, although the severity may vary from a transient rise in serum creatinine to end-stage renal disease. With regard to acid-base management in septic AKI, caution should be used with hyperchloremic crystalloid solutions, and dialysis is often used in the setting of severe acidosis. In the future, biomarkers may help clinicians identify AKI earlier and allow for potential interventions before the development of severe AKI.

BACKGROUND Respiratory dysfunction is a frequent complication after severe burn injury. Respiratory muscle atrophy may induce respiratory dysfunction due to insufficient inspiratory motive power. Accumulated evidence suggests that apoptosis is very important in skeletal muscle atrophy in multiple pathologic conditions. Therefore, we hypothesize that myonuclear apoptosis contributes to diaphragm atrophy induced by burn injury, and death receptor signaling activation plays a role in this process. METHODS Wistar rats in the burn-injured group were subjected to a full-thickness scald injury around 40% of total body surface area. Diaphragm samples were examined for myonuclear apoptosis by transmission electron microscope, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling assay, and immunohistochemistry for caspase-3. Serum level of apoptotic ligands were assessed by ELISA. Activation of death receptor signaling was examined by Western blotting. RESULTS Burn injury resulted in significant reductions of diaphragm muscle mass and myofiber cross-section area. Apoptosis in diaphragm appeared from day 1 and peaked on day 4 after injury. The level of soluble TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand and the ratio of Fas ligand to soluble Fas in serum significantly increased after burn injury. In diaphragm of burnt animals, the expressions of proapoptotic proteins, such as cleaved caspase-8, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax-to-Bcl-2 ratio were upregulated, whereas expression of pAkt, an antiapoptotic protein, was downregulated. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the most of the caspase-3 was expressed in myofiber nuclei and their surrounding cytoplasm area in tissue sections. CONCLUSIONS Severe burn injury induces myonuclear apoptosis in diaphragm, which could be a contributor to diaphragm muscle atrophy. Activation of death receptor signaling may be a mechanism of apoptosis in diaphragm.
