Abstract

Prerenal azotemia (PRA) is a major cause of acute kidney injury and uncommonly studied in preclinical models. We sought to develop and characterize a novel model of PRA that meets the clinical definition: acute loss of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that returns to baseline with resuscitation. Adult male C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) and IL-6−/− mice were studied. Intraperitoneal furosemide (4 mg) or vehicle was administered at time = 0 and 3 h to induce PRA from volume loss. Resuscitation began at 6 h with 1 mL intraperitoneal saline for four times for 36 h. Six hours after furosemide administration, measured glomerular filtration rate was 25% of baseline and returned to baseline after saline resuscitation at 48 h. After 6 h of PRA, plasma interleukin (IL)-6 was significantly increased, kidney and liver histology were normal, kidney and liver lactate were normal, and kidney injury molecule-1 immunofluorescence was negative. There were 327 differentially regulated genes upregulated in the liver, and the acute phase response was the most significantly upregulated pathway; 84 of the upregulated genes (25%) were suppressed in IL-6−/− mice, and the acute phase response was the most significantly suppressed pathway. Significantly upregulated genes and their proteins were also investigated and included serum amyloid A2, serum amyloid A1, lipocalin 2, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1, and haptoglobin; hepatic gene expression and plasma protein levels were all increased in wild-type PRA and were all reduced in IL-6−/− PRA. This work demonstrates previously unknown systemic effects of PRA that includes IL-6-mediated upregulation of the hepatic acute phase response. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Prerenal azotemia (PRA) accounts for a third of acute kidney injury (AKI) cases yet is rarely studied in preclinical models. We developed a clinically defined murine model of prerenal azotemia characterized by a 75% decrease in measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR), return of measured glomerular filtration rate to baseline with resuscitation, and absent tubular injury. Numerous systemic effects were observed, such as increased plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) and upregulation of the hepatic acute phase response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Plasma cystatin C is a reliable marker to estimate kidney function; however, it is unknown whether this remains true in patients receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). Herein, we tested the hypothesis that lower concentrations of plasma cystatin C during the first three days of CKRT would predict kidney function recovery., Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of 72 patients from a 126-patient, single-center CKRT study. We studied two a priori defined cohorts of patients without advanced CKD who had acute kidney injury requiring CKRT (AKI-CKRT): 1) with early kidney function recovery defined as liberation from KRT within seven days of CKRT initiation versus 2) with delayed kidney function recovery defined as receipt of KRT for >21 days or death while on KRT. Subsequent analysis included patients with advanced CKD and intermediate kidney function recovery (liberation between 8 and 21 days). Cystatin C was then measured on stored plasma, urine, and dialysis effluent collected prior to CKRT initiation and on days 1, 2, and 3 of CKRT., Results: Plasma cystatin C was significantly lower in patients with early kidney function recovery in comparison to patients with delayed kidney function recovery on days 1 (1.79 vs. 2.39mg/L), 2 (1.91 vs. 2.38mg/L) and 3 (2.04 vs. 2.67mg/L) of CKRT. Sieving coefficient and CKRT clearance of cystatin C were similar for patients with early and delayed kidney function recovery. The lowest plasma cystatin C concentration on days 1-3 of CKRT predicted early kidney function recovery with an area under the receiver operating curve of 0.77 (P = 0.002), positive likelihood ratio of 5.60 for plasma cystatin C <1.30mg/L, and negative likelihood ratio of 0.17 for plasma cystatin C ≥1.88mg/L., Conclusion: Lower plasma cystatin C concentrations during the first three days of CKRT are associated with early kidney function recovery., (Copyright © 2024 by the American Society of Nephrology.)

Abstract

The discordance between genome size and the complexity of eukaryotes can partly be attributed to differences in repeat density. The Muller F element (∼5.2 Mb) is the smallest chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster , but it is substantially larger (>18.7 Mb) in D. ananassae To identify the major contributors to the expansion of the F element and to assess their impact, we improved the genome sequence and annotated the genes in a 1.4-Mb region of the D. ananassae F element, and a 1.7-Mb region from the D element for comparison. We find that transposons (particularly LTR and LINE retrotransposons) are major contributors to this expansion (78.6%), while Wolbachia sequences integrated into the D. ananassae genome are minor contributors (0.02%). Both D. melanogaster and D. ananassae F-element genes exhibit distinct characteristics compared to D-element genes ( e.g. , larger coding spans, larger introns, more coding exons, and lower codon bias), but these differences are exaggerated in D. ananassae Compared to D. melanogaster , the codon bias observed in D. ananassae F-element genes can primarily be attributed to mutational biases instead of selection. The 5' ends of F-element genes in both species are enriched in dimethylation of lysine 4 on histone 3 (H3K4me2), while the coding spans are enriched in H3K9me2. Despite differences in repeat density and gene characteristics, D. ananassae F-element genes show a similar range of expression levels compared to genes in euchromatic domains. This study improves our understanding of how transposons can affect genome size and how genes can function within highly repetitive domains., (Copyright © 2017 Leung et al.)
