Kidney Transplant Recipients Show Limited Lung Diffusion Capacity but Similar Hydrogen Peroxide Exhalation as Healthy Matched Volunteers: A Pilot Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6964. [PMID: 38002579 PMCID: PMC10672367 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12226964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease show higher systemic oxidative stress and exhale more hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) than healthy controls. Kidney transplantation reduces oxidative stress and H2O2 production by blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) may be predisposed to an impairment of lung diffusing capacity due to chronic inflammation. Lung function and H2O2 concentration in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) were compared in 20 KTRs with stable allograft function to 20 healthy matched controls. Serum interleukin eight (IL-8) and C-reactive protein (CRP), blood cell counts, and spirometry parameters did not differ between groups. However, KTRs showed lower total lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, corrected for hemoglobin concentration (TLCOc), in comparison to healthy controls (92.1 ± 11.5% vs. 102.3 ± 11.9% of predicted, p = 0.009), but similar EBC H2O2 concentration (1.63 ± 0.52 vs. 1.77 ± 0.50 µmol/L, p = 0.30). The modality of pre-transplant renal replacement therapy had no effect on TLCOc and EBC H2O2. TLCOc did not correlate with time after transplantation. In this study, TLCOc was less reduced in KTRs in comparison to previous reports. We suggest this fact and the non-elevated H2O2 exhalation exhibited by KTRs, may result perhaps from the evolution of the immunosuppressive therapy.

Klotho inhibits renal ox-LDL deposition via IGF-1R/RAC1/OLR1 signaling to ameliorate podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:293. [PMID: 37891556 PMCID: PMC10612302 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02025-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is characterized by the abnormal deposition of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), which contributes to podocyte damage. Klotho, an aging suppressor that plays a critical role in protecting podocytes in DKD, is mainly expressed in kidney tubular epithelium and secreted in the blood. However, it has not been established whether Klotho can alleviate podocyte injury by inhibiting renal ox-LDL deposition, and the potential molecular mechanisms require further investigation. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive analysis of serum and kidney biopsy samples obtained from patients diagnosed with DKD. Additionally, to explore the underlying mechanism of Klotho in the deposition of ox-LDL in the kidneys, we employed a mouse model of DKD with the Klotho genotype induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Furthermore, we conducted meticulous in vitro experiments on podocytes to gain further insights into the specific role of Klotho in the deposition of ox-LDL within the kidney. RESULTS Our groundbreaking study unveiled the remarkable ability of the soluble form of Klotho to effectively inhibit high glucose-induced ox-LDL deposition in podocytes affected by DKD. Subsequent investigations elucidated that Klotho achieved this inhibition by reducing the expression of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R), consequently leading to a decrease in the expression of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) and an enhancement of mitochondrial function. Ultimately, this series of events culminated in a significant reduction in the expression of the oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (OLR1), thereby resulting in a notable decrease in renal ox-LDL deposition in DKD. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that Klotho had the potential to mitigate podocyte injury and reduced high glucose-induced ox-LDL deposition in glomerulus by modulating the IGF-1R/RAC1/OLR1 signaling. These results provided valuable insights that could inform the development of novel strategies for diagnosing and treating DKD.

Chemistry of Hydrogen Peroxide Formation and Elimination in Mammalian Cells, and Its Role in Various Pathologies. STRESSES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/stresses2030019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a compound involved in some mammalian reactions and processes. It modulates and signals the redox metabolism of cells by acting as a messenger together with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and the nitric oxide radical (•NO), activating specific oxidations that determine the metabolic response. The reaction triggered determines cell survival or apoptosis, depending on which downstream metabolic pathways are activated. There are several ways to produce H2O2 in cells, and cellular systems tightly control its concentration. At the cellular level, the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide can trigger inflammation and even apoptosis, and when its concentration in the blood reaches toxic levels, it can lead to bioenergetic failure. This review summarizes existing research from a chemical perspective on the role of H2O2 in various enzymatic pathways and how this biochemistry leads to physiological or pathological responses.
