Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical challenge faced by clinicians in kidney transplantation. I/R is the leading cause of acute kidney injury, and it occurs when blood flow to the kidney is interrupted and subsequently restored. I/R impairs renal function in both short and long terms. Renal ischemic preconditioning refers to all maneuvers intended to prevent or attenuate ischemic damage. In this context, the present review focuses on the dual-specificity phosphatase 3 (DUSP3), also known as vaccinia H1-related phosphatase, an uncommon regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. DUSP3 has different biological functions: (1) it acts as a tumor modulator and (2) it is involved in the regulation of immune response, thrombosis, hemostasis, angiogenesis, and genomic stability. These functions occur either through MAPK-dependent or MAPK-independent mechanisms. DUSP3 genetic deletion dampens kidney damage and inflammation caused by I/R in mice, suggesting DUSP3 as a potential target for preventing renal I/R injury. Here, we discuss the putative role of DUSP3 in ischemic preconditioning and the potential mechanisms of such an attenuated inflammatory response via improved kidney perfusion and adequate innate immune response.

Untargeted NMR-based metabolomics analysis of kidney allograft perfusates identifies a signature of delayed graft function. Metabolomics 2024; 20:39. [PMID: 38460018 DOI: 10.1007/s11306-024-02106-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney transplantation (KTx) necessarily conveys an ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) process, which impacts on allograft outcomes. Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as a non-decrease of serum creatinine by at least 10% daily on 3 consecutive days during the first 7 days post-KTx. DGF significantly conditions both short- and long-term graft outcomes. Still there is a lack of DGF predictive biomarkers. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the potential of kidney graft perfusate metabolomics to predict DGF occurrence. METHODS 49 human perfusates from grafts categorized upon donor type [donation after brain death (DBD)/donation after circulatory death (DCD)] and DGF occurrence and 19 perfusates from a murine model classified upon death type (DBD/DCD) were collected and analyzed by NMR-based metabolomics. RESULTS The multivariate analysis of the murine data highlighted significant differences between perfusate metabolomes of DBD versus DCD. These differences were similarly observed in the human perfusates. After correcting for the type of donor, multivariate analysis of human data demonstrated a metabolomics signature that could be correlated with DGF occurrence. CONCLUSIONS The metabolome of kidney grafts is influenced by the donor's type in both human and pre-clinical studies and could be correlated with DGF in the human DBD cohort. Thus, metabolomic analysis of perfusate applied prior to KTx may represent a new predictive tool for clinicians in a more personalized management of DGF. Moreover, our data paves the way to better understand the impact of donor's types on the biochemical events occurring between death and the hypothermic storage.

Abstract
Kidney injury and repair are accompanied by significant disruptions in metabolic pathways, leading to renal cell dysfunction and further contributing to the progression of renal pathology. This review outlines the complex involvement of various energy production pathways in glucose, lipid, amino acid, and ketone body metabolism within the kidney. We provide a comprehensive summary of the aberrant regulation of these metabolic pathways in kidney injury and repair. After acute kidney injury (AKI), there is notable mitochondrial damage and oxygen/nutrient deprivation, leading to reduced activity in glycolysis and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Additionally, disruptions occur in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), amino acid metabolism, and the supply of ketone bodies. The subsequent kidney repair phase is characterized by a metabolic shift toward glycolysis, along with decreased fatty acid β-oxidation and continued disturbances in amino acid metabolism. Furthermore, the impact of metabolism dysfunction on renal cell injury, regeneration, and the development of renal fibrosis is analyzed. Finally, we discuss the potential therapeutic strategies by targeting renal metabolic regulation to ameliorate kidney injury and fibrosis and promote kidney repair.

Energy metabolic reprogramming regulates programmed cell death of renal tubular epithelial cells and might serve as a new therapeutic target for acute kidney injury. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1276217.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) induces significant energy metabolic reprogramming in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs), thereby altering lipid, glucose, and amino acid metabolism. The changes in lipid metabolism encompass not only the downregulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) but also changes in cell membrane lipids and triglycerides metabolism. Regarding glucose metabolism, AKI leads to increased glycolysis, activation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), inhibition of gluconeogenesis, and upregulation of the polyol pathway. Research indicates that inhibiting glycolysis, promoting the PPP, and blocking the polyol pathway exhibit a protective effect on AKI-affected kidneys. Additionally, changes in amino acid metabolism, including branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, arginine, and tryptophan, play an important role in AKI progression. These metabolic changes are closely related to the programmed cell death of renal TECs, involving autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. Notably, abnormal intracellular lipid accumulation can impede autophagic clearance, further exacerbating lipid accumulation and compromising autophagic function, forming a vicious cycle. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of ameliorating AKI-induced kidney damage through calorie and dietary restriction. Consequently, modifying the energy metabolism of renal TECs and dietary patterns may be an effective strategy for AKI treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) induces several perturbations that alter immediate kidney graft function after transplantation and may affect long-term graft outcomes. Given the IRI-dependent metabolic disturbances previously reported, we hypothesized that proximal transporters handling endo/exogenous substrates may be victims of such lesions. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the impact of hypoxia/reoxygenation on the human proximal transport system through two semi-targeted omics analyses. METHODS Human proximal tubular cells were cultured in hypoxia (6 or 24 h), each followed by 2, 24 or 48-h reoxygenation. We investigated the transcriptomic modulation of transporters. Using semi-targeted LC-MS/MS profiling, we characterized the extra/intracellular metabolome. Statistical modelling was used to identify significant metabolic variations. RESULTS The expression profile of transporters was impacted during hypoxia (y + LAT1 and OCTN2), reoxygenation (MRP2, PEPT1/2, rBAT, and OATP4C1), or in both conditions (P-gp and GLUT1). The P-gp and GLUT1 transcripts increased (FC (fold change) = 2.93 and 4.11, respectively) after 2-h reoxygenation preceded by 24-h hypoxia. We observed a downregulation (FC = 0.42) of y+LAT1 after 24-h hypoxia, and of PEPT2 after 24-h hypoxia followed by 2-h reoxygenation (FC = 0.40). Metabolomics showed that hypoxia altered the energetic pathways. However, intracellular metabolic homeostasis and cellular exchanges were promptly restored after reoxygenation. CONCLUSION This study provides insight into the transcriptomic response of the tubular transporters to hypoxia/reoxygenation. No correlation was found between the expression of transporters and the metabolic variations observed. Given the complexity of studying the global tubular transport systems, we propose that further studies focus on targeted transporters.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 10% of the world population, higher still in some developing countries, and can cause irreversible kidney damage eventually leading to kidney failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, not all patients with CKD will progress to this stage, and it is difficult to distinguish between progressors and non-progressors at the time of diagnosis. Current clinical practice involves monitoring estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria to assess CKD trajectory over time; however, there remains a need for novel, validated methods that differentiate CKD progressors and non-progressors. Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, have the potential to improve our understanding of CKD progression. Herein, we review the application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy both in preclinical and clinical settings to improve the diagnosis and surveillance of patients with CKD.

Abstract
Despite the success of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in identifying genetic variants associated with complex traits, understanding the mechanisms behind these statistical associations remains challenging. Several methods that integrate methylation, gene expression, and protein quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with GWAS data to determine their causal role in the path from genotype to phenotype have been proposed. Here, we developed and applied a multi-omics Mendelian randomization (MR) framework to study how metabolites mediate the effect of gene expression on complex traits. We identified 216 transcript-metabolite-trait causal triplets involving 26 medically relevant phenotypes. Among these associations, 58% were missed by classical transcriptome-wide MR, which only uses gene expression and GWAS data. This allowed the identification of biologically relevant pathways, such as between ANKH and calcium levels mediated by citrate levels and SLC6A12 and serum creatinine through modulation of the levels of the renal osmolyte betaine. We show that the signals missed by transcriptome-wide MR are found, thanks to the increase in power conferred by integrating multiple omics layer. Simulation analyses show that with larger molecular QTL studies and in case of mediated effects, our multi-omics MR framework outperforms classical MR approaches designed to detect causal relationships between single molecular traits and complex phenotypes.

Abstract
Ionizing irradiation is widely applied as a fundamental therapeutic treatment in several diseases. Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a global public health problem with major morbidity and mortality. Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is the main cause of AKI. I/R injury occurs when blood flow to the kidney is transiently interrupted and then restored. Such an ischemic insult significantly impairs renal function in the short and long terms. Renal ischemic preconditioning (IPC) corresponds to the maneuvers intended to prevent or attenuate the ischemic damage. In murine models, irradiation-induced preconditioning (IP) renders the renal parenchyma resistant to subsequent damage by activating defense pathways involved in oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Before envisioning translational applications in patients, safe irradiation modalities, including timing, dosage, and fractionation, need to be defined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by an abrupt decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We sought to identify separate early urinary metabolomic signatures at AKI onset (with-AKI) and prior to onset of functional impairment (pre-AKI). METHODS Pre-AKI (n=15), AKI (n=22), and respective controls (n=30) from two prospective PICU cohort studies provided urine samples which were analyzed by GC-MS and DI-MS mass spectrometry (193 metabolites). The cohort (n=58) was 8.7±6.4 years old and 66% male. AKI patients had longer PICU stays, higher PRISM scores, vasopressors requirement, and respiratory diagnosis and less commonly had trauma or post-operative diagnosis. Urine was collected within 2-3 days after admission and daily until day 5 or 14. RESULTS The metabolite classifiers for pre-AKI samples (1.5±1.1 days prior to AKI onset) had a cross-validated area under receiver operator curve (AUC)=0.93 (95%CI 0.85-1.0); with-AKI samples had an AUC=0.94 (95%CI 0.87-1.0). A parsimonious pre-AKI classifier with 13 metabolites was similarly robust (AUC=0.96, 95%CI 0.89-1.0). Both classifiers were similar and showed modest correlation of high-ranking metabolites (tau=0.47, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This exploratory study demonstrates the potential of a urine metabolite classifier to detect AKI-risk in pediatric populations earlier than the current standard of diagnosis with the need for external validation. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information with inner reference to ESM for GA.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients, and sepsis is its leading cause. Sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) causes greater morbidity and mortality than other AKI etiologies, yet the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Metabolomic technologies can characterize cellular energy derangements, but few discovery analyses have evaluated the metabolomic profile of SA-AKI. To identify metabolic derangements amenable to therapeutic intervention, we assessed plasma and urine metabolites in septic mice and critically ill children and compared them by AKI status. Metabolites related to choline and central carbon metabolism were differentially abundant in SA-AKI in both mice and humans. Gene expression of enzymes related to choline metabolism was altered in the kidneys and liver of mice with SA-AKI. Treatment with intraperitoneal choline improved renal function in septic mice. Because pediatric patients with sepsis displayed similar metabolomic profiles to septic mice, choline supplementation may attenuate pediatric septic AKI.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Altered choline metabolism plays a role in both human and murine sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), and choline administration in experimental SA-AKI improved renal function. These findings indicate that 1) mouse models can help interrogate clinically relevant mechanisms and 2) choline supplementation may ameliorate human SA-AKI. Future research will investigate clinically the impact of choline supplementation on human renal function in sepsis and, using model systems, how choline mediates its effects.

Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) causes acute kidney injury (AKI). Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) attenuates I/R-associated AKI. Whole-body irradiation induces renal IPC in mice. Still, the mechanisms remain largely unknown. Furthermore, the impact of kidney-centered irradiation on renal resistance against I/R has not been studied. Renal irradiation (8.5Gy) was done in male 8-12-week-old C57bl/6 mice using Small Animal Radiation Therapy (SmART) device. Left renal I/R was performed by clamping the renal pedicles for 30 minutes, with simultaneous right nephrectomy, at 7, 14, and 28 days post-irradiation. The renal reperfusion lasted 48 hours. Following I/R, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (SCr) levels were lower in pre-irradiated mice compared to controls, so was the histological Jablonski score of AKI. The metabolomics signature of renal I/R was attenuated in pre-irradiated mice. The numbers of PCNA-, CD11b-, and F4-80-positive cells in the renal parenchyma post-I/R were reduced in pre-irradiated versus control groups. Such an IPC was significantly observed as early as D14 post-irradiation. RNA-Seq showed an up-regulation of angiogenesis- and stress response-related signaling pathways in irradiated non-ischemic kidneys at D28. RT-qPCR confirmed the increased expression of VEGF, ALK5, HO1, PECAM1, NOX2, HSP70, and HSP27 in irradiated kidneys compared to controls. In addition, irradiated kidneys showed an increased CD31-positive vascular area compared to controls. A 14-day gavage of irradiated mice with the anti-angiogenic drug Sunitinib before I/R abrogated the irradiation-induced IPC at both functional and structural levels. Our observations suggest that kidney-centered irradiation activates pro-angiogenic pathways and induces IPC, with preserved renal function and attenuated inflammation post-I/R.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common cause of morbidity after congenital heart disease surgery. Progress on diagnosis and therapy remains limited, however, in part due to poor mechanistic understanding and a lack of relevant translational models. Metabolomic approaches could help identify novel mechanisms of injury and potential therapeutic targets. In the present study, we used a piglet model of cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (CPB/DHCA) and targeted metabolic profiling of kidney tissue, urine, and serum to evaluate metabolic changes specific to animals with histological acute kidney injury. CPB/DHCA animals with acute kidney injury were compared with those without acute kidney injury and mechanically ventilated controls. Acute kidney injury occurred in 10 of 20 CPB/DHCA animals 4 h after CPB/DHCA and 0 of 7 control animals. Injured kidneys showed a distinct tissue metabolic profile compared with uninjured kidneys (R2 = 0.93, Q2 = 0.53), with evidence of dysregulated tryptophan and purine metabolism. Nine urine metabolites differed significantly in animals with acute kidney injury with a pattern suggestive of increased aerobic glycolysis. Dysregulated metabolites in kidney tissue and urine did not overlap. CPB/DHCA strongly affected the serum metabolic profile, with only one metabolite that differed significantly with acute kidney injury (pyroglutamic acid, a marker of oxidative stress). In conclusion, based on these findings, kidney tryptophan and purine metabolism are candidates for further mechanistic and therapeutic investigation. Urine biomarkers of aerobic glycolysis could help diagnose early acute kidney injury after CPB/DHCA and warrant further evaluation. The serum metabolites measured at this early time point did not strongly differentiate based on acute kidney injury. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This project explored the metabolic underpinnings of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) following pediatric cardiac surgery in a translationally relevant large animal model of cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Here, we present novel evidence for dysregulated tryptophan catabolism and purine catabolism in kidney tissue and increased urinary glycolysis intermediates in animals who developed histological AKI. These pathways represent potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for postoperative AKI in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Despite decennia of research and numerous successful interventions in the preclinical setting, renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury remains a major problem in clinical practice, pointing toward a translational gap. Recently, two clinical studies on renal IR injury (manifested either as acute kidney injury or as delayed graft function) identified metabolic derailment as a key driver of renal IR injury. It was reasoned that these unambiguous metabolic findings enable direct alignment of clinical with preclinical data, thereby providing the opportunity to elaborate potential translational hurdles between preclinical research and the clinical context. A systematic review of studies that reported metabolic data in the context of renal IR was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The search (December 2020) identified 35 heterogeneous preclinical studies. The applied methodologies were compared, and metabolic outcomes were semi-quantified and aligned with the clinical data. This review identifies profound methodological challenges, such as the definition of IR injury, the follow-up time, and sampling techniques, as well as shortcomings in the reported metabolic information. In light of these findings, recommendations are provided in order to improve the translatability of preclinical models of renal IR injury.

Serum metabolic profile of postoperative acute kidney injury following infant cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Pediatr Nephrol 2021; 36:3259-3269. [PMID: 33954809 PMCID: PMC8448922 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-021-05095-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 03/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine differences in the circulating metabolic profile of infants with or without acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiothoracic surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of preoperative and 24-h postoperative serum samples from infants ≤ 120 days old undergoing CPB. Metabolic profiling of the serum samples was performed by targeted analysis of 165 serum metabolites via tandem mass spectrometry. We then compared infants who did or did not develop AKI in the first 72 h postoperatively to determine global differences in the preoperative and 24-h metabolic profiles in addition to specific differences in individual metabolites. RESULTS A total of 57 infants were included in the study. Six infants (11%) developed KDIGO stage 2/3 AKI and 13 (23%) developed stage 1 AKI. The preoperative metabolic profile did not differentiate between infants with or without AKI. Infants with severe AKI could be moderately distinguished from infants without AKI by their 24-h metabolic profile, while infants with stage 1 AKI segregated into two groups, overlapping with either the no AKI or severe AKI groups. Differences in these 24-h metabolic profiles were driven by 21 metabolites significant at an adjusted false discovery rate of < 0.05. Prominently altered pathways include purine, methionine, and kynurenine/nicotinamide metabolism. CONCLUSION Moderate-to-severe AKI after infant cardiac surgery is associated with changes in the serum metabolome, including prominent changes to purine, methionine, and kynurenine/nicotinamide metabolism. A portion of infants with mild AKI demonstrated similar metabolic changes, suggesting a potential role for metabolic analysis in the evaluation of lower stage injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a rapid decline in kidney function. The associated syndromes may lead to increased morbidity and mortality, but its early detection remains difficult. Using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS), we analyzed the urinary metabolomic profile of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after invasive surgery. Urine samples were collected at six time points: before surgery, at ICU admission and 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after. First, urine samples from 61 initial patients (non-AKI: 23, mild AKI: 24, severe AKI: 14) were measured, followed by the measurement of urine samples from 60 additional patients (non-AKI: 40, mild AKI: 20). Glycine and ethanolamine were decreased in patients with AKI compared with non-AKI patients at 6-24 h in the two groups. The linear statistical model constructed at each time point by machine learning achieved the best performance at 24 h (median AUC, area under the curve: 89%, cross-validated) for the 1st group. When cross-validated between the two groups, the AUC showed the best value of 70% at 12 h. These results identified metabolites and time points that show patterns specific to subjects who develop AKI, paving the way for the development of better biomarkers.

Abstract
In this paper, we assess the nephroprotective effects of thyrotropin and follitropin during ischaemia. The studies were performed in vitro in a model of isolated porcine kidneys stored in Biolasol (FZNP, Biochefa, Sosnowiec, Poland) and modified Biolasol (TSH: 1 µg/L; FSH 1 µg/L). We used the static cold storage method. The study was carried out based on 30 kidneys. The kidneys were placed in 500 mL of preservation solution chilled to 4 °C. The samples for biochemical tests were collected during the first kidney perfusion (after 2 h of storage) and during the second perfusion (after 48 h of storage). The results of ALT, AST, and LDH activities confirm the effectiveness of Biolasol + p-TSH in maintaining the structural integrity of renal cell membranes. Significantly reduced biochemical parameters of kidney function, i.e., creatinine and protein concentrations were also observed after 48 h storage. The protective effect of Biasol + p-TSH is most pronounced after 2 h of storage, suggesting a mild course of damage thereafter. A mild deterioration of renal function was observed after 48 h. The results of our analyses did not show any protective effect of Biolasol + p-FSH on the kidneys during ischaemia.

Abstract
Normothermic ex-vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) results in significantly improved graft function in porcine auto-transplant models of donation after circulatory death injury compared with static cold storage (SCS); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects remain unclear. We performed an unbiased proteomics analysis of 28 kidney biopsies obtained at three time points from pig kidneys subjected to 30 min of warm ischemia, followed by 8 h of NEVKP or SCS, and auto-transplantation. 70/6593 proteins quantified were differentially expressed between NEVKP and SCS groups (false discovery rate < 0.05). Proteins increased in NEVKP mediated key metabolic processes including fatty acid ß-oxidation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Comparison of our findings with external datasets of ischemia-reperfusion and other models of kidney injury confirmed that 47 of our proteins represent a common signature of kidney injury reversed or attenuated by NEVKP. We validated key metabolic proteins (electron transfer flavoprotein subunit beta and carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial) by immunoblotting. Transcription factor databases identified members of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) family of transcription factors as the upstream regulators of our dataset, and we confirmed increased expression of PPARA, PPARD, and RXRA in NEVKP with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The proteome-level changes observed in NEVKP mediate critical metabolic pathways. These effects may be coordinated by PPAR-family transcription factors and may represent novel therapeutic targets in ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced acute kidney injury (IRI) is an inevitable event in kidney transplantation. It is a complex pathophysiological process associated with numerous structural and metabolic changes that have a profound influence on the early and the late function of the transplanted kidney. Proximal tubular cells are particularly sensitive to IRI. These cells are involved in renal and whole-body homeostasis, detoxification processes and drugs elimination by a transporter-dependent, transcellular transport system involving Solute Carriers (SLCs) and ATP Binding Cassettes (ABCs) transporters. Numerous studies conducted mainly in animal models suggested that IRI causes decreased expression and activity of some major tubular transporters. This could favor uremic toxins accumulation and renal metabolic alterations or impact the pharmacokinetic/toxicity of drugs used in transplantation. It is of particular importance to understand the underlying mechanisms and effects of IR on tubular transporters in order to improve the mechanistic understanding of IRI pathophysiology, identify biomarkers of graft function or promote the design and development of novel and effective therapies. Modulation of transporters’ activity could thus be a new therapeutic opportunity to attenuate kidney injury during IR.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill children and adults is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. As serum creatinine- and urine output-based definitions of AKI have relevant limitations, there is a persistent need for better diagnostics of AKI. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows for analysis of metabolic profiles without extensive sample manipulations. In the study reported here, we examined the diagnostic accuracy of NMR urine metabolite patterns for the diagnosis of neonatal and pediatric AKI according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition. A cohort of 65 neonatal and pediatric patients (0–18 years) with established AKI of heterogeneous etiology was compared to both a group of apparently healthy children (n = 53) and a group of critically ill children without AKI (n = 31). Multivariate analysis identified a panel of four metabolites that allowed diagnosis of AKI with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.95 (95% confidence interval 0.86–1.00). Especially urinary citrate levels were significantly reduced whereas leucine and valine levels were elevated. Metabolomic differentiation of AKI causes appeared promising but these results need to be validated in larger studies. In conclusion, this study shows that NMR spectroscopy yields high diagnostic accuracy for AKI in pediatric patients.

Selective organ ischaemia/reperfusion identifies liver as the key driver of the post-injury plasma metabolome derangements. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2019; 17:347-356. [PMID: 30747701 PMCID: PMC6774928 DOI: 10.2450/2018.0188-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2018] [Accepted: 11/20/2018] [Indexed: 04/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the molecular mechanisms in perturbation of the metabolome following ischaemia and reperfusion is critical in developing novel therapeutic strategies to prevent the sequelae of post-injury shock. While the metabolic substrates fueling these alterations have been defined, the relative contribution of specific organs to the systemic metabolic reprogramming secondary to ischaemic or haemorrhagic hypoxia remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS A porcine model of selected organ ischaemia was employed to investigate the relative contribution of liver, kidney, spleen and small bowel ischaemia/reperfusion to the plasma metabolic phenotype, as gleaned through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. RESULTS Liver ischaemia/reperfusion promotes glycaemia, with increases in circulating carboxylic acid anions and purine oxidation metabolites, suggesting that this organ is the dominant contributor to the accumulation of these metabolites in response to ischaemic hypoxia. Succinate, in particular, accumulates selectively in response to the hepatic ischemia, with levels 6.5 times spleen, 8.2 times small bowel, and 6 times renal levels. Similar trends, but lower fold-change increase in comparison to baseline values, were observed upon ischaemia/reperfusion of kidney, spleen and small bowel. DISCUSSION These observations suggest that the liver may play a critical role in mediating the accumulation of the same metabolites in response to haemorrhagic hypoxia, especially with respect to succinate, a metabolite that has been increasingly implicated in the coagulopathy and pro-inflammatory sequelae of ischaemic and haemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Background Cardiac arrest (CA) has been a leading cause of death for many decades. Despite years of research, we still do not understand how each organ responds to the reintroduction of blood flow after prolonged CA. Following changes in metabolites of individual organs after CA and resuscitation gives context to the efficiency and limitations of current resuscitation protocols. Methods and Results Adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were arbitrarily assigned into 3 groups: control, 20 minutes of CA, or 20 minutes of CA followed by 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass resuscitation. The rats were euthanized by decapitation to harvest brain, heart, kidney, and liver tissues. The obtained tissue samples were analyzed by ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography–high‐accuracy mass spectrometry for comprehensive metabolomics evaluation. After resuscitation, the brain showed decreased glycolysis metabolites and fatty acids and increased amino acids compared with control. Similarly, the heart displayed alterations mostly in amino acids. The kidney showed decreased amino acid and fatty acid pools with severely increased tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites following resuscitation, while the liver showed minimal alterations with slight changes in the lipid pool. Each tissue has a distinct pattern of metabolite changes after ischemia/reperfusion. Furthermore, resuscitation worsens the metabolic dysregulation in the brain and kidney, while it normalizes metabolism in the heart. Conclusions Developing metabolic profiles using a global metabolome analysis identifies the variable nature of metabolites in individual organs after CA and reperfusion, establishing a stark contrast between the normalized heart and liver and the exacerbated brain and kidney, only after the reestablishment of blood circulation.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2019; 10:270. [PMID: 31445515 PMCID: PMC6708217 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-019-1351-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2019] [Revised: 07/11/2019] [Accepted: 07/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Testicular torsion is an urological emergency that may lead to infertility due to ischemic injury. Promptly surgical correction by orchiopexy is the only way to avoid infertility and no effective treatment for restoration of spermatogenesis. We previously reported that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), through local injection upon testicular torsion-detorsion, restored the spermatogenesis without differentiation into sperm. In this study, molecular mechanisms of MSCs in regulating germ cell activity induced by testicular torsion-detorsion were investigated. Methods Sixteen male Sprague-Dawley rats 6–8 weeks old received left testis 720° torsion for 3 h followed by detorsion with or without MSCs. Right inguinal skin incision without testicular torsion served as control. MSCs with 3 × 104 cells were locally injected into left testis 30 min before detorsion. Three days after the surgery, orchiectomy was executed and the testis, epididymis, and sperm were separated to each other. Functional assessments on sperm included counting sperm amount and sperm motility, staining F-actin, and quantifying adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. The hallmarks of glycogenesis and glycolysis in each tissue segment were measured by Western blot. Results Testicular torsion-detorsion significantly decreased the amount of sperm, inhibited the motility, declined the F-actin expression, and reduced the content of ATP in sperm. Local injection of MSCs improved sperm function, particularly in sperm motility. With MSCs, ATP content and F-actin were preserved after testicular torsion-detorsion. MSCs significantly reversed the imbalance of glycolysis in sperm and testis induced by testicular torsion-detorsion, as evidenced by increasing the expression of phosphoglycerate kinase 2 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-spermatogenic, activating Akt, and increasing glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), which led to the increase in glycolysis cascades and ATP production. Human stem cell factor contributed the activation of Akt/GSK3 axis when sperm suffered from testicular torsion-detorsion-induced germ cell injury. Conclusions Local injection of MSCs into a testis damaged by testicular torsion-detorsion restores sperm function mainly through the improvement of sperm motility and energy. MSCs reversed the imbalance of glycogenesis and glycolysis in sperm by regulating Akt/GSK3 axis. Thus, MSCs may potentially rescue torsion-detorsion-induced infertility via local injection.

Abstract
Background Renal diseases represent a major public health problem. The demonstration that maladaptive repair of acute kidney injury (AKI) can lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease has generated interest in studying the pathophysiological pathways involved. Animal models of AKI–CKD transition represent important tools to study this pathology. We hypothesized that the administration of multiple doses of folic acid (FA) would lead to a progressive loss of renal function that could be characterized through biochemical parameters, histological classification and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) profiling. Methods Wistar rats were divided into groups: the control group received a daily intraperitoneal (I.P.) injection of double-distilled water, the experimental group received a daily I.P. injection of FA (250 mg kg body weight−1). Disease was classified according to blood urea nitrogen level: mild (40–80 mg dL−1), moderate (100–200 mg dL−1) and severe (>200 mg dL−1). We analyzed through biochemical parameters, histological classification and NMR profiling. Results Biochemical markers, pro-inflammatory cytokines and kidney injury biomarkers differed significantly (P < 0.05) between control and experimental groups. Histology revealed that as damage progressed, the degree of tubular injury increased, and the inflammatory infiltrate was more evident. NMR metabolomics and chemometrics revealed differences in urinary metabolites associated with CKD progression. The main physiological pathways affected were those involved in energy production and amino-acid metabolism, together with organic osmolytes. These data suggest that multiple administrations of FA induce a reproducible model of the induction of CKD. This model could help to evaluate new strategies for nephroprotection that could be applied in the clinic.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe and frequent condition in hospitalized patients. Currently, no efficient therapy of AKI is available. Therefore, efforts focus on early prevention and potentially early initiation of renal replacement therapy to improve the outcome in AKI. The detection of AKI in hospitalized patients implies the need for early, accurate, robust, and easily accessible biomarkers of AKI evolution and outcome prediction because only a narrow window exists to implement the earlier-described measures. Even more challenging is the multifactorial origin of AKI and the fact that the changes of molecular expression induced by AKI are difficult to distinguish from those of the diseases associated or causing AKI as shock or sepsis. During the past decade, a considerable number of protein biomarkers for AKI have been described and we expect from recent advances in the field of omics technologies that this number will increase further in the future and be extended to other sorts of biomolecules, such as RNAs, lipids, and metabolites. However, most of these biomarkers are poorly defined by their AKI-associated molecular context. In this review, we describe the state-of-the-art tissue and biofluid proteomic and metabolomic technologies and new bioinformatics approaches for proteomic and metabolomic pathway and molecular interaction analysis. In the second part of the review, we focus on AKI-associated proteomic and metabolomic biomarkers and briefly outline their pathophysiological context in AKI.

Abstract
The potential health benefit of dietary fiber has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. In this study, the effects of modified dietary fibers (MDF) derived from okara on body composition, fat distribution, serum metabolomic parameters, and fatty acid profiles in mice fed high-fat diets (HFD) were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic approach. HFD-induced C57BL mice were fed with a diet containing 100 g/kg MDF for 12 weeks. Compared with control mice, MDF-fed mice exhibited less fat and lower body weights, altered serum metabolomic profiles, and distinct fatty acid profiles. The levels of choline, phosphatidylcholine, glycerophosphorylcholine, glucose, lysine, scyllo-inositol, and glutamate for MDF group were higher than those for both CONT and HFD groups. A remarkable reduction of total cholesterol, total triglycerides, ω-6 fatty acids, alanine, citrate, creatine, or succinate was also observable for MDF group compared with HFD group. These findings demonstrated that the intake of MDF derived from okara clearly ameliorated some of the HFD-induced adverse metabolic effects and prevented adipose tissue accumulation.

Abstract
Extending kidney donor criteria, including donation after circulatory death (DCD), has resulted in increased rates of delayed graft function (DGF) and primary nonfunction. Here, we used Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to analyze the urinary metabolome of DCD transplant recipients at multiple time points (days 10, 42, 180, and 360 after transplantation). The aim was to identify markers that predict prolonged duration of functional DGF (fDGF). Forty-seven metabolites were quantified and their levels were evaluated in relation to fDGF. Samples obtained at day 10 had a different profile than samples obtained at the other time points. Furthermore, at day 10 there was a statistically significant increase in eight metabolites and a decrease in six metabolites in the group with fDGF (N = 53) vis-à-vis the group without fDGF (N = 22). In those with prolonged fDGF (≥21 days) (N = 17) urine lactate was significantly higher and pyroglutamate lower than in those with limited fDGF (<21 days) (N = 36). In order to further distinguish prolonged fDGF from limited fDGF, the ratios of all metabolites were analyzed. In a logistic regression analysis, the sum of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) over pyroglutamate and lactate over fumarate, predicted prolonged fDGF with an AUC of 0.85. In conclusion, kidney transplant recipients with fDGF can be identified based on their altered urinary metabolome. Furthermore, two ratios of urinary metabolites, lactate/fumarate and BCAAs/pyroglutamate, adequately predict prolonged duration of fDGF.

Abstract
Exposure to PM2.5 is associated with an increased risk of lung diseases, and oxidative damage is the main reason for PM2.5-mediated lung injuries. However, little is known about the early molecular events in PM2.5-induced lung toxicity. In the present study, the metabolites in PM2.5-treated A549 cells were examined via a robust and nondestructive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic approach to clarify the molecular mechanism of PM2.5-induced toxicity. NMR analysis revealed that 12 metabolites were significantly altered in PM2.5-treated A549 cells, including up-regulation of alanine, valine, lactate, ω-6 fatty acids, and citrate and decreased levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid, acetate, leucine, isoleucine, D-glucose, lysine, and dimethylglycine. Pathway analysis demonstrated that seven metabolic pathways which included alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle were mostly influenced. Our results indicate that NMR technique turns out to be a simple and reliable method for exploring the toxicity mechanism of air pollutant.

Abstract
Renal segmental metabolism is reflected by the complex distribution of the main energy pathways along the nephron, with fatty acid oxidation preferentially used in the cortex area. Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is due to the restriction of renal blood flow, rapidly leading to a metabolic switch toward anaerobic conditions. Subsequent unbalance between energy demand and oxygen/nutrient delivery compromises kidney cell functions, resulting in a complex inflammatory cascade including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Renal IRI especially involves lipid accumulation. Lipid peroxidation is one of the major events of ROS-associated tissue injury. Here, we briefly review the current knowledge of renal cell lipid metabolism in normal and ischemic conditions. Next, we focus on renal lipid-associated injury, with emphasis on its mechanisms and consequences during the course of IRI. Finally, we discuss preclinical observations aiming at preventing and/or attenuating lipid-associated IRI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury can be caused by multiple factors, including sepsis, respiratory failure, heart failure, trauma, or nephrotoxic medications, among others. Here, a mouse model was used to investigate potential urinary metabolic biomarkers of hypoxia-induced AKI. Urine metabolic profiles of 48 Swiss Webster mice were assessed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) for 7 days following 72 h exposure to a hypoxic 6.5% oxygen environment. Histological analyses indicated a lack of gross nephron structural changes in the aftermath of hypoxia. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses, however, indicated elevated expression of protein injury biomarkers in distal and proximal tubules but not glomeruli. Kidney injury molecule-1 levels peaked in distal tubules at 72 h and were still increasing in proximal tubules at 7 days posthypoxia, whereas cystatin C levels were elevated at 24 h but decreased thereafter, and were elevated and still increasing in proximal tubules at 7 days posthypoxia. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels were modestly elevated from 24 h to 7 days posthypoxia. NMR-based metabolic profiling revealed that urine metabolites involved in energy metabolism and associated biosynthetic pathways were initially decreased at 24 h posthypoxia, consistent with metabolic suppression as a mechanism for cell survival, but were significantly elevated at 48 and 72 h posthypoxia, indicating a burst in organism metabolism associated with reactivation of cellular energetics during recovery after cessation of hypoxia and return to a normoxic environment. The IHC results indicated that kidney injury persists long after plasma and urine biomarkers of hypoxia return to normal values.

Proteo-metabolomics reveals compensation between ischemic and non-injured contralateral kidneys after reperfusion. Sci Rep 2018; 8:8539.

Abstract
Ischaemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which contributes to high morbidity and mortality rates in a wide range of injuries as well as the development of chronic kidney disease. The cellular and molecular responses of the kidney to IRI are complex and not fully understood. Here, we used an integrated proteomic and metabolomic approach to investigate the effects of IRI on protein abundance and metabolite levels. Rat kidneys were subjected to 45 min of warm ischaemia followed by 4 h and 24 h reperfusion, with contralateral and separate healthy kidneys serving as controls. Kidney tissue proteomics after IRI revealed elevated proteins belonging to the acute phase response, coagulation and complement pathways, and fatty acid (FA) signalling. Metabolic changes were already evident after 4 h reperfusion and showed increased level of glycolysis, lipids and FAs, whilst mitochondrial function and ATP production was impaired after 24 h. This deficit was partially compensated for by the contralateral kidney. Such a metabolic balance counteracts for the developing energy deficit due to reduced mitochondrial function in the injured kidney.

Ischemia/reperfusion-associated tubular cells injury in renal transplantation: Can metabolomics inform about mechanisms and help identify new therapeutic targets? Pharmacol Res 2018; 129:34-43. [PMID: 29309901 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2017.12.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2017] [Revised: 12/29/2017] [Accepted: 12/29/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Tubular cells are central targets of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in kidney transplantation. Inflammation and metabolic disturbances occurring within these cells are deleterious by themselves but also favor secondary events, such as activation of immune response. It is critical to have an in depth understanding of the mechanisms governing tubular cells response to I/R if one wants to define pertinent biomarkers or to elaborate targeted therapeutic interventions. As oxidative damage was shown to be central in the patho-physiological mechanisms, the impact of I/R on proximal tubular cells metabolism has been widely studied, contrary to its effects on expression and activity of membrane transporters of the proximal tubular cells. Yet, temporal modulation of transporters over ischemia and reperfusion periods appears to play a central role, not only in the induction of cells injury but also in graft function recovery. Metabolomics in cell models or diverse biofluids has the potential to provide large pictures of biochemical consequences of I/R. Metabolomic studies conducted in experimental models of I/R or in transplanted patients indeed retrieved metabolites belonging to the pathways known to be particularly affected. Interestingly, they also revealed that metabolic disturbances and transporters activities are in very close mutual interplay. As well as helping to select diagnostic biomarkers, such analyses could also contribute to identify new pharmacological targets and to set up innovative nephroprotective strategies for the future. Even if various therapeutic approaches have been evaluated for a long time to prevent or treat I/R injuries, metabolomics has helped identifying new ones, those related to membrane transporters seeming to be of particular interest. However, considering the very complex and multifactorial effects of I/R in the context of kidney transplantation, all tracks must be followed if one wants to prevent or limit its deleterious consequences.

Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare and highly aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The mortality rate of BL patients is very high due to the rapid growth rate and frequent systemic spread of the disease. A better understanding of the pathogenesis, more sensitive diagnostic tools and effective treatment methods for BL are essential. Metabolomics, an important aspect of systems biology, allows the comprehensive analysis of global, dynamic and endogenous biological metabolites based on their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). It has already been used to investigate the pathogenesis and discover new biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, we analyzed differences of serum metabolites in BL mice and normal mice by NMR-based metabolomics. We found that metabolites associated with energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and choline phospholipid metabolism were altered in BL mice. The diagnostic potential of the metabolite differences was investigated in this study. Glutamate, glycerol and choline had a high diagnostic accuracy; in contrast, isoleucine, leucine, pyruvate, lysine, α-ketoglutarate, betaine, glycine, creatine, serine, lactate, tyrosine, phenylalanine, histidine and formate enabled the accurate differentiation of BL mice from normal mice. The discovery of abnormal metabolism and relevant differential metabolites may provide useful clues for developing novel, noninvasive approaches for the diagnosis and prognosis of BL based on these potential biomarkers.
