Role of (Pro)Renin Receptor in Cyclosporin A-Induced Nephropathy
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2022 Jan 24. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00332.2021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCalcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) such as cyclosporin A (CsA) have been widely used to improve graft survival following solid-organ transplantation. However, the clinical use of CsA is often limited by its nephrotoxicity. The present study tested the hypothesis that activation of (pro)renin receptor (PRR) contributes to CsA-induced nephropathy by activating the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Renal injury in male Sprague-Dawley rats was induced by a low-salt diet combined with CsA as evidenced by elevated plasma creatinine ...

Experimental acute kidney injury
Conclusions: WNT10A expression may promote fibrotic progression and kidney dysfunction in AIN. Blockade of WNT10A expression may be a feasible therapeutic strategy against kidney fibrosis.

Cell signalling and apoptosis
Conclusions: These results suggest that activation of S1P signaling mediated by S1PR-3 results in chronic pathological fibrosis, such as in chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Tubular ischemia and toxicity
Conclusions: EPC-derived EVs protect the kidney from ischemic AKI by delivering mRNAs coding for factor H, DAF and CD59 to injured tubular epithelial and endothelial cells. These results confirmed previous data on the relevance of complement inhibition after kidney IRI and suggest the potential use of EPC-derived EVs as therapeutic option to avoid delayed graft function after kidney transplantation.

Cell signalling
Conclusions: Taken together, it is likely that klotho protects against renal fibrotic process accompanied by down-regulation of fibrotic markers, counteracting to TGF-β, and one of possible mechanism mediating translocation of Na/K ATPase, resulting in Ca+ channel stabilization/alternation of Ca+ ion concentration. Klotho should be involved in the accentuation of the progression of renal fibrosis in CKD.
