Abstract:

Urinary tract obstruction during renal development leads to inflammation, tubular apoptosis, and interstitial fibrosis. Toll like receptors (TLRs) expressed on leukocytes, myofibroblasts and renal cells play a central role in acute inflammation. TLR2 is activated by endogenous danger signals in the kidney; its contribution to renal injury in early life is still a controversial topic. We analyzed TLR2 for a potential role in the neonatal mouse model of congenital obstructive nephropathy. Inborn obstructive nephropathies are a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease in children. Thus, newborn

Abstract:

Obstruction-induced fibrosis is a leading cause of end-stage renal failure in children. The pathophysiological mechanisms may involve apoptosis and the renin-angiotensin system. We studied apoptosis and fibrosis in a well-established neonatal pig model with unilateral partial ureteral obstruction (PUUO) induced during ongoing nephrogenesis in 2-day-old piglets. The role of angiotensin II (ANG II) was studied using the AT1 receptor blocker CV-11974 (0.12 mg/h candesartan from age 23 to 30 days). At day 30 the kidneys were perfusion fixed and fibrosis, apoptosis, and tubular lengths were quantit

Abstract:

Glomerular proteinuria is a risk factor for progression of chronic renal failure and contributes to renal interstitial fibrosis. In experimental diabetic glomerular sclerosis, there is translocation of high-molecular-weight growth factors, namely, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, from plasma into tubular fluid, both of which act on tubular cells through apical membrane receptors. In the present studies, the hypothesis is examined that ultrafiltered HGF and TGF-β induce increased expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins directly in tubular cells, o

Abstract:

Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a highly abundant protein in the cytoplasm of most mammalian cells. Beyond its homeostatic role in protein folding, CypA is a Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern which can promote inflammation during tissue injury.

This study investigates the contribution of CypA in two different types of kidney injury: acute tubular necrosis and progressive interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract 18F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT was performed on a 58-year-old woman newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma and acute renal insufficiency. 18F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT showed increased FAPI uptake in multiple osteolytic lesions and both kidneys. Subsequent renal aspiration biopsy confirmed renal interstitial fibrosis due to subacute tubular interstitial injury.

Abstract:

Kidney fibrosis is a common manifestation and hallmark of a wide variety of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that appears in different morphological patterns, suggesting distinct pathogenic causes. Broad macroscopically visible scars are the sequelae of severe focal injury and complete parenchymal destruction, reflecting a wound healing response as a consequence of infarction. In the kidney, chronic glomerular injury leads to atrophy of the corresponding tubule, degeneration of this specific nephron, and finally interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA). Compared to this glomerulus-induced foc

Abstract:

Acute kidney injury-induced organ fibrosis is recognized as a major risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease, which remains one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. However, knowledge on molecules that may suppress the fibrogenic response after injury is lacking. In ischemic models of acute kidney injury, we demonstrate a new function of netrin-1 in regulating interstitial fibrosis. Acute injury was promptly followed by a rise in serum creatinine in both wild-type and netrin-1 transgenic animals. However, the wild-type showed a slow recovery of kidney functio

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is one of the major components of the matrix proteolytic network, and its role in the pathogenesis of renal interstitial fibrosis remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ablation of MMP-9 attenuated renal interstitial fibrotic lesions in obstructive nephropathy. Mice lacking MMP-9 were less likely to develop morphological injury, which was characterized by a reduced disruption of tubular basement membrane (TBM) and expression of fibronectin as well as deposition of total tissue collagen in the kidneys after sustained ureteral obstruction compared w

Abstract:

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine protein kinase, is crucial in regulating cell growth, metabolism, proliferation, and survival. Under physiologic conditions, mTOR signaling maintains podocyte and tubular cell homeostasis. In AKI, activation of mTOR signaling in tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts promotes renal regeneration and repair. However, constitutive activation of mTOR signaling in kidneys results in the initiation and progression of glomerular hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, polycystic kidney disease, and renal cell carcinoma.

Tubular atrophy is a common pathological feature of kidney fibrosis. Although fibroblasts play a predominant role in tissue fibrosis, the role of repairing tubular epithelia in tubular atrophy is unclear. We demonstrated the essential role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-mediated intratubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the pathogenesis of tubular atrophy after severe ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Actively proliferating tubular epithelia undergoing intratubular EMT were noted in the acute phase of severe IRI, resulting in tubular atrophy in the chronic phase, reflecting fail

To increase PKG activity, we used the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor sildenafil and PKG transgenic mice.

Abstract:

Knowledge of the control of cell growth and extracellular matrix deposition has assumed center stage in the understanding of how the diseased kidney responds to injury. After acute tubular injury, there may be reversible, partial depolarization of renal cells or cell necrosis. The latter requires a regenerative response, which could be under the control of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF). Up-regulation of EGF receptors on viable cells provides the cell with an enhanced growth response despite a reduction in EGF production by the kidney. Acute glomerular injury involves a h

In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of exogenous HGF on an established renal interstitial fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).
