Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious disease entity that affects native kidneys and allografts but for which no specific treatments exist. Complex intrarenal inflammatory processes driven by lymphocytes and innate immune cells have key roles in the development and progression of AKI. Many studies have focused on prevention of early injury in AKI. However, most patients with AKI present after injury is already established. Increasing research is therefore focusing on mechanisms of renal repair following AKI and prevention of progression from AKI to chronic kidney disease. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells and neutrophils are probably involved in the development and progression of AKI, whereas regulatory T cells, double-negative T cells and type 2 innate lymphoid cells have protective roles. Several immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer T cells, can have both deleterious and protective effects, depending on their subtype and/or the stage of AKI. The immune system not only participates in injury and repair processes during AKI but also has a role in mediating AKI-induced distant organ dysfunction. Targeted manipulation of immune cells is a promising therapeutic strategy to improve AKI outcomes.

A novel marine-derived anti-acute kidney injury agent targeting peroxiredoxin 1 and its nanodelivery strategy based on ADME optimization. Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:3232-3250. [PMID: 39027260 PMCID: PMC11252462 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2024.03.005] [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: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Insufficient therapeutic strategies for acute kidney injury (AKI) necessitate precision therapy targeting its pathogenesis. This study reveals the new mechanism of the marine-derived anti-AKI agent, piericidin glycoside S14, targeting peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1). By binding to Cys83 of PRDX1 and augmenting its peroxidase activity, S14 alleviates kidney injury efficiently in Prdx1-overexpression (Prdx1-OE) mice. Besides, S14 also increases PRDX1 nuclear translocation and directly activates the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway to inhibit ROS production. Due to the limited druggability of S14 with low bioavailability (2.6%) and poor renal distribution, a pH-sensitive kidney-targeting dodecanamine-chitosan nanoparticle system is constructed to load S14 for precise treatment of AKI. l-Serine conjugation to chitosan imparts specificity to kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1)-overexpressed cells. The developed S14-nanodrug exhibits higher therapeutic efficiency by improving the in vivo behavior of S14 significantly. By encapsulation with micelles, the AUC0‒t , half-life time, and renal distribution of S14 increase 2.5-, 1.8-, and 3.1-fold, respectively. The main factors contributing to the improved druggability of S14 nanodrugs include the lower metabolic elimination rate and UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT)-mediated biotransformation. In summary, this study identifies a new therapeutic target for the marine-derived anti-AKI agent while enhancing its ADME properties and druggability through nanotechnology, thereby driving advancements in marine drug development for AKI.

Abstract
Circadian disruption such as shift work, jet lag, has gradually become a global health issue and is closely associated with various metabolic disorders. The influence and mechanism of circadian disruption on renal injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains inadequately understood. Here, we evaluated the impact of environmental light disruption on the progression of chronic renal injury in CKD mice. By using two abnormal light exposure models to induce circadian disruption, we found that circadian disruption induced by weekly light/dark cycle reversal (LDDL) significantly exacerbated renal dysfunction, accelerated renal injury, and promoted renal fibrosis in mice with 5/6 nephrectomy and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Mechanistically, RNA-seq analysis revealed significant immune and metabolic disorder in the LDDL-conditioned CKD kidneys. Consistently, renal content of ATP was decreased and ROS production was increased in the kidney tissues of the LDDL-challenged CKD mice. Untargeted metabolomics revealed a significant buildup of lipids in the kidney affected by LDDL. Notably, the level of β-NMN, a crucial intermediate in the NAD+ pathway, was found to be particularly reduced. Moreover, we demonstrated that both β-NMN and melatonin administration could significantly rescue the light-disruption associated kidney dysfunction. In conclusion, environmental circadian disruption may exacerbate chronic kidney injury by facilitating inflammatory responses and disturbing metabolic homeostasis. β-NMN and melatonin treatments may hold potential as promising approaches for preventing and treating light-disruption associated CKD.

Interleukin-2/anti-interleukin-2 immune complex attenuates cold ischemia-reperfusion injury after kidney transplantation by increasing renal regulatory T cells. Clin Transl Med 2024; 14:e1631. [PMID: 38504554 PMCID: PMC10951489 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable complication of kidney transplantation. We investigated the role of regulatory T cells (Treg) in cold IRI and whether the interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex (IL-2C) can ameliorate cold IRI. METHODS We developed a cold IRI mouse model using kidney transplantation and analyzed the IL-2C impact on cold IRI in acute, subacute and chronic phases. RESULTS Treg transfer attenuated cold IRI, while Treg depletion aggravated cold IRI. Next, IL-2C administration prior to IRI mitigated acute renal function decline, renal tissue damage and apoptosis and inhibited infiltration of effector cells into kidneys and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression on day 1 after IRI. On day 7 after IRI, IL-2C promoted renal regeneration and reduced subacute renal damage. Furthermore, on day 28 following IRI, IL-2C inhibited chronic fibrosis. IL-2C decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. When IL-2C was administered following IRI, it also increased renal regeneration with Treg infiltration and suppressed renal fibrosis. In contrast, Treg depletion in the presence of IL-2C eliminated the positive effects of IL-2C on IRI. CONCLUSION Tregs protect kidneys from cold IRI and IL-2C inhibited cold IRI by increasing the renal Tregs, suggesting a potential of IL-2C in treating cold IRI. KEY POINTS Interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex attenuated acute renal injury, facilitated subacute renal regeneration and suppressed chronic renal fibrosis after cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by increasing the renal Tregs. IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. This study suggests the therapeutic potential of the IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex in kidney transplantation-associated cold IR.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a non-negligible clinical challenge for clinicians in surgeries such as renal transplantation. Functional loss of renal tubular epithelial cell (TEC) in IRI leads to the development of acute kidney injury, delayed graft function (DGF), and allograft rejection. The available evidence indicates that cellular oxidative stress, cell death, microvascular dysfunction, and immune response play an important role in the pathogenesis of IRI. A variety of immune cells, including macrophages and T cells, are actively involved in the progression of IRI in the immune response. The role of B cells in IRI has been relatively less studied, but there is a growing body of evidence for the involvement of B cells, which involve in the development of IRI through innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses, and negative immune regulation. Therefore, therapies targeting B cells may be a potential direction to mitigate IRI. In this review, we summarize the current state of research on the role of B cells in IRI, explore the potential effects of different B cell subsets in the pathogenesis of IRI, and discuss possible targets of B cells for therapeutic aim in renal IRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease that commonly affects the kidney. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology is a powerful tool for characterizing individual cells and elucidating biological mechanisms at the cellular level. The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism underlying kidney injury in SLE using scRNA-seq technology. METHODS scRNA-seq data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in SLE were retrieved from the GEO database, followed by batch effect elimination, dimensionality reduction, cluster analysis, cell annotation and enrichment analysis. A model of SLE was developed in NZB/WF1 mice. Effects of anti-CD45RB antibody on the SLE-induced kidney injury were evaluated, and we measured the distribution of regulatory T cells and B cells in mouse spleen and kidney tissues, levels of kidney function-related indexes, deposition of IgG and C3 in the glomeruli, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS CD45RB was a specific marker gene of B cell clusters and had influence on the B cells. anti-CD45RB antibody treatment induced regulatory B cells and consequently arrested the kidney injury caused by SLE. In addition, depletion of regulatory T cells was found to partially undermine the alleviatory effect of anti-CD45RB antibody on SLE-induced kidney injury. CONCLUSION Collectively, our data suggest that anti-CD45RB antibody can prevent the SLE-induced kidney injury, pointing to anti-CD45RB antibody as a potential therapeutic strategy in kidney injury-related disease.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). It poses a significant threat to public health, and effective therapeutic drugs are lacking. Mefunidone (MFD) is a new pyridinone drug that exerts a significant protective effect on diabetic nephropathy and the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model in our previous study. However, the effects of mefunidone on ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of mefunidone against ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury and explored the underlying mechanism. These results revealed that mefunidone exerted a protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury. In an ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury model, treatment with mefunidone significantly protected the kidney by relieving kidney tubular injury, suppressing oxidative stress, and inhibiting kidney tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that mefunidone reduced mitochondrial damage, regulated mitochondrial-related Bax/bcl2/cleaved-caspase3 apoptotic protein expression, and protected mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes III and V levels both in vivo and in vitro, along with a protective effect on mitochondrial membrane potential in vitro. Given that folic acid (FA)-induced acute kidney injury is a classic model, we used this model to further validate the efficacy of mefunidone in acute kidney injury and obtained the same conclusion. Based on the above results, we conclude that mefunidone has potential protective and therapeutic effects in both ischemia-reperfusion injury- and folic acid-induced acute kidney injury.

Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2022; 234:e13778.

Abstract
AIMS Acute kidney injury (AKI), a major health burden, lacks effective therapy. Anti-inflammatory actions of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13) may provide a new treatment option for AKI. Along with inflammation, oxidative stress is critical for AKI development, yet the impact of ADAMTS13 on oxidative stress in AKI remains to be fully elucidated. METHODS We assess recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rhADAMTS13) actions on oxidative stress in a murine ischaemia/reperfusion (IR) model. Antioxidant stress-enzyme activities, renal morphology, kidney function markers and vascular function of isolated afferent arterioles are quantified. RESULTS rhADAMTS13 provided after IR, reduces blood urea nitrogen (BUN) by 33% and serum creatinine (Scr) by 73% in 24 hours post-IR. rhADAMTS13 reduces BUN (40.03 ± 20.34 mmol/L vs 72.35 ± 18.74 mmol/L, P < .01), Scr (75.67 ± 51.19 μmol/L vs 176.17 ± 55.38 μmol/L, P < .01) and proteinuria by 41% in 48 hours post-IR as well. Moreover, rhADAMTS13 administration decreases malondialdehyde (MDA) and increases the activity of antioxidant stress enzymes, and attenuates reactive oxygen species production. rhADAMTS13 also upregulates nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2/haem oxygenase-1, enhances antioxidant enzymes activity and alleviates endothelial dysfunction. Finally, treatment with rhADAMTS13 mitigates severe functional and morphological injury present in IR mice. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation is limited by rhADAMTS13 and PPARγ expression is partly restored in ischaemic kidneys. Co-administration of von Willebrand factor (VWF) impairs rhADAMTS13's antioxidant capacity and its protective role in IR. CONCLUSION rhADAMTS13 alleviates renal IR injury through antioxidant effects by cleaving VWF.

(ABS-36) alleviates acute and chronic renal injury under in vitro and in vivo models (Ischemic reperfusion and unilateral ureter obstruction). Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 103:108494. [PMID: 34973530 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The study aimed to identify small molecules having potentiality in alleviating renal injury. Two natural compounds cyclo(Val-Pro) (1) and cyclo(Leu-Hydroxy-Pro) (2) were first evaluated under acute renal injury model of ischemic reperfusion at different doses of 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg body weight. Further, the compounds were subjected to antimycin A-induced ischemic in vitro study (NRK-52E cell lines). Both the compounds significantly decreased plasma IL-1β levels (P < 0.05). Also, the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and renal injury markers (KIM-1, NGAL, α-GST and π-GST) in the renal tissues were significantly alleviated (P < 0.01) along with the improvement in histological damage and control over neutrophil infiltration as a result of ischemic reperfusion. The in vitro study revealed the protective effect against antimycin A-induced cytotoxicity (P < 0.05) and antiapoptotic effect acting through the regulation of Bax, caspase 3 (pro and cleaved) and BCL2 with reduction in Annexin+PI+ cells. Further, the compound cyclo(Val-Pro) (1) was evaluated (50 mg/kg body weight dose) in chronic unilateral ureter obstruction model of renal injury in mice and TGF-β-induced in vitro fibrotic model (NRK-49F cell lines). Cyclo(Val-Pro) (1) significantly reduced the expression levels of fibrotic markers (collagen-1, α-SMA and TGF-β) and showed marked alleviation of renal fibrosis (sirius red staining). Also, the proliferation of TGF-β-induced NRK-49F cells was significantly reduced along with decreased levels of collagen-1 and α-SMA in immunohistochemistry studies. In conclusion, the compounds significantly abrogated ischemic injury by inhibiting renal inflammation and tubular epithelial apoptosis. Further, cyclo (Val-Pro) (1) exhibited significant anti-fibrotic activity through the inhibition of fibroblast activation and proliferation. Thus, these proline-based cyclic dipeptides are recommended as drug leads for treating renal injury.

Abstract
Regulatory B cells are a rare B-cell subset widely known to exert their immunosuppressive function via the production of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and other mechanisms. B10 cells are a special subset of regulatory B cells with immunoregulatory function that is fully attributed to IL-10. Their unique roles in the animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS) have been described, as well as their relevance in MS patients. This review specifically focuses on the identification and development of B10 cells, the signals that promote IL-10 production in B cells, the roles of B10 cells in MS, and the potential and major challenges of the application of B10-based therapies for MS.

Abstract
AKI is a serious condition affecting one fifth of hospital patients. In AKI, B cells produce CCL7 and facilitate neutrophil and monocyte recruitment. CCL7 blockade in mice reduces myeloid cell infiltration and ameliorates AKI.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious condition affecting one fifth of hospital inpatients. B lymphocytes have immunological functions beyond Ab production and may produce cytokines and chemokines that modulate inflammation. In this study, we investigated leukocyte responses in a mouse model of AKI and observed an increase in circulating and kidney B cells, particularly a B220low subset, following AKI. We found that B cells produce the chemokine CCL7, with the potential to facilitate neutrophil and monocyte recruitment to the injured kidney. Siglec-G–deficient mice, which have increased numbers of B220low innate B cells and a lower B cell activation threshold, had increased Ccl7 transcripts, increased neutrophil and monocyte numbers in the kidney, and more severe AKI. CCL7 blockade in mice reduced myeloid cell infiltration into the kidney and ameliorated AKI. In two independent cohorts of human patients with AKI, we observed significantly higher CCL7 transcripts compared with controls, and in a third cohort, we observed an increase in urinary CCL7 levels in AKI, supporting the clinical importance of this pathway. Together, our data suggest that B cells contribute to early sterile inflammation in AKI via the production of leukocyte-recruiting chemokines.
