Protein Disulfide Isomerase Inhibition Impairs Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling and Mitochondrial Function and Induces Apoptosis in Renal Proximal Tubular Cells.
Abstract Renal proximal tubular apoptosis plays a critical role in kidney health and disease. However, cellular molecules that trigger renal apoptosis remain elusive. Here, we evaluated the effect of inhibiting protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a critical thioredoxin chaperone protein, on apoptosis, and the underlying mechanisms in human renal proximal tubular (HK2) cells. HK2 cells were transfected with PDI specific siRNA in the absence and presence of an antioxidant tempol. PDI siRNA transfection resulted in a decrease of ~70% in PDI protein expression and enzyme activity. PDI inhibition increased caspase-3 act...

Elevated expression of HDAC6 in clinical peritoneal dialysis patients and its pathogenic role on peritoneal angiogenesis.
In this study, we analyzed the expression of HDAC6 in the peritoneum from patients with non-PD and PD-related peritonitis and dialysis effluent from stable PD patients. Our study revealed that HDAC6 expressed highly in the peritoneum with peritonitis and co-stained with α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), a biomarker of the myofibroblast. And the level of HDAC6 in the dialysate increased with time and positively correlated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and negatively with cancer antigen 125 (CA125). In vitro, blockading HDAC6 with a selective...

Requirement of Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 for vasopressin-induced osteogenic signaling and calcification in human aortic smooth muscle cells
Conclusion: Vasopressin stimulates NHE1 expression and ROS generation, an effect dependent on SGK1 and required for vasopres sin-induced stimulation of osteogenic signaling and calcification of VSMCs.

Cyclophilin A/CD147 signaling induces the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and renal fibrosis in chronic allograft dysfunction by regulating p38 MAPK signaling
CONCLUSIONS: Our study reported the positive relationship of CyPA-CD147 signaling with renal allograft dysfunction. The in vitro study suggested that CyPA-CD147 signaling induce the development of the EMT process by p38 MAPK signaling, thus contributing to renal allograft fibrosis and CAD.PMID:36203223 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2022.2126788

Petits ARN interf érents : applications potentielles pour les néphrologues Small interfering RNA: potential applications for nephrologists
Nephrol Ther. 2022 Dec;18(6S1):6S1-6S6. doi: 10.1016/S1769-7255(22)00646-0.ABSTRACTSmall interfering RNA (siRNAs) are double-stranded RNAs of around 20 base pairs in length that trigger RNAi machinery, which promotes degradation of a target mRNA avoiding protein translation. SiRNAs are liver-targeted, using tris N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) as the targeting ligand. This discovery received the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology in 2006 and lead to substantial therapeutic advances. Application field and development of these siRNA has been very fast. Indeed, patisiran has been released in 2018 for hereditary transthyre...
