Salt Sensitive Hypertension

Epidemiological data indicates that acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for the development of hypertension and chronic kidney disease in patients. Previous studies demonstrated that rats develop sodium-dependent hypertension and kidney damage following experimental AKI induced by a renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) insult; furthermore, these high salt deleterious effects could be blunted by administration of immunosuppressive agents. The present study was performed on Dahl SS (SS) rats and SS rats with a null mutation in the CD247 gene (SS-CD247) leading to depletion of T-lymphocytes in order to specifically examine the role of T cells in this response (n=5-6 rats/group). As assessed by serum creatinine (SCr) levels, no difference was observed in the initial response to IR injury between SS and SS-CD247: SCr increased from 0.44±0.03 to 2.16±0.32 mg/dl in SS rats 24 hours after an initial 30 minute period of renal ischemia and returned to control levels after 8 days of recovery. Moreover, no differences were noted in mean arterial pressure (MAP) or albumin excretion rate (UAlb) between SS and SS-CD247 after 43 days of recovery from IR injury while the rats were maintained on a low salt (0.4% NaCl) diet. When the rats were fed a 4.0% NaCl diet for two weeks, MAP and UAlb significantly increased in the sham SS to 178±9 mmHg and 189±25 mg/day, respectively; values significantly greater than observed in the sham SS-CD247 rats (148±2 mmHg and 87±17 mg/day). As expected, the SS rats recovered from IR injury demonstrated an exaggerated increase in MAP (peaking at 183±2 mmHg) and UAlb (275±54 mg/day) in response to high salt. There was no difference in the number of total CD3+ lymphocytes in the kidneys of IR and sham SS after high salt, though the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T cells was increased in the IR group. Compared to sham CD247, an exaggerated elevation of MAP (157±9 mmHg) and UAlb (210±32 mg/day) was also observed in the SS-CD247 rats recovered from IR injury, demonstrating enhanced responsiveness following IR injury in animals lacking T cells. These data indicate that T lymphocytes amplify salt-sensitive hypertension and renal damage, but other mechanisms also mediate the salt-sensitive hypertension and renal damage that occurs in animals recovered from IR injury.

T cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). To date existing data about the role of the T cell receptor (Tcr) are contradictory. We hypothesize that the Tcr plays a prominent role in the late phase of renal IRI. Therefore, renal IRI was induced in α/β, γ/δ T cell-deficient and wild-type mice by clamping renal pedicles for 30 min and reperfusing for 24, 48, 72, and 120 h. Serum creatinine increased equally in all three groups 24 h after ischemia but significantly improved in Tcr-deficient animals compared with wild-type controls after 72 h. A significant reduction in renal tubular injury and infiltration of CD4+ T-cells in both Tcr-deficient mice compared with wild-type controls was detected. Infiltration of α/β T cells into the kidney was reduced in γ/δ T cell-deficient mice until 72 h after ischemia. In contrast, γ/δ T cell infiltration was equal in wild-type and α/β T cell-deficient mice, suggesting an interaction between α/β and γ/δ T cells. Data from γ/δ T cell-deficient mice were confirmed by in vivo depletion of γ/δ T cells in C57BL/6 mice. Whereas α/β T cell-deficient mice were still protected after 120 h, γ/δ T cell-deficient mice showed a “delayed wild-type phenotype” with a dramatic increase in kidney-infiltrating α/β, Tcr-expressing CD4+ T-cells. This report provides further evidence that α/β T cells are major effector cells in renal IRI, whereas γ/δ T cells play a role as mediator cells in the first 72 h of renal IRI.

Mononuclear cell infiltrates are found in human renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and peritubular T lymphocytes have been identified in experimental IRI. However, the role of T cells in the pathogenesis of renal IRI is unknown. We hypothesized that T cells are one of the important mediators of renal IRI. To test this hypothesis, we used an established mouse model of renal IRI, and evaluated mice with genetically engineered deficiency of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. At 48 h postischemia, CD4/CD8-knockout (KO) mice had marked improvement in renal function compared with control C57BL/6 mice (serum creatinine: 0.7 ± 0.4 vs. 2.5 ± 0.3 mg/dl, respectively; P < 0.05). Neutrophil infiltration into postischemic kidney was reduced in CD4/CD8 KO mice, compared with control mice, at both 24 h [polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs)/10 high power fields: 714 ± 354 vs. 3,514 ± 660, respectively; P < 0.05] and 48 h (88 ± 32 vs. 1,979 ± 209, respectively; P< 0.05). Tubular necrosis score in CD4/CD8 KO mice, compared with control mice, was significantly less at 48 h (0.4 ± 0.1 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2, respectively; P < 0.05). Because adhesion between T cells and renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) may underlie the pathophysiological role of T cells in renal IRI, we also measured T cell adhesion to primary murine RTECs in vitro. Exposure of RTECs to 2 h of hypoxia followed by 1 h of reoxygenation increased T cell adhesion more than twofold. Phorbol ester treatment, which activates integrins, increased T cell adhesion threefold. These data suggest that T lymphocytes can mediate experimental renal IRI. Moreover, adhesion of infiltrating T cells to renal tubular cells may provide a potential mechanism underlying postischemic tubular dysfunction.

Bortezomib is a well-established treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). It is a selective and reversible inhibitor of the proteasome that is responsible for the degradation of many regulatory proteins that are involved in apoptosis, cell-cycle regulation, or transcription. Because patients with MM are prone to develop acute renal failure, we evaluated the influence of Bortezomib on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Mice were subjected to renal IRI by having the renal pedicles clamped for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 3, 24, and 48 h. Mice were either pretreated with 0.5 mg/kg body wt Bortezomib or vehicle intravenously 12 h before induction of IRI. Serum creatinine and tubular necrosis were significantly increased in Bortezomib compared with vehicle-treated mice. The inflammatory response was found to be significantly decreased in Bortezomib-treated mice as reflected by a decreased infiltration of CD4+ T cells and a significantly decreased Th1 cytokine expression in the kidneys. In contrast, apoptosis was significantly increased in kidneys of Bortezomib-treated mice compared with vehicle-treated controls. Increased numbers of TUNEL-positive cells/mm2 and increased mRNA expression of proapoptotic factors were detected in kidneys of Bortezomib-treated mice. Of note, p21, a cell senescence marker, was also significantly increased in kidneys of Bortezomib-treated mice. In summary, we provide evidence that Bortezomib worsens the outcome of renal IRI by leading to increased apoptosis of tubular cells despite decreased infiltrating T cells and proinflammatory mediators.
