    Abstract: Abstract Background People of Sub-Saharan African ancestry are at higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), attributed to the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene risk alleles (RA) G1 and G2. The underlying mechanisms by which the APOL1-RA ... ...

    Abstract Abstract Background People of Sub-Saharan African ancestry are at higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), attributed to the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene risk alleles (RA) G1 and G2. The underlying mechanisms by which the APOL1-RA precipitate CKD remain elusive, hindering the development of potential treatments. Results Using a Drosophila genetic modifier screen, we found that SNARE proteins (Syx7, Ykt6, and Syb) play an important role in preventing APOL1 cytotoxicity. Reducing the expression of these SNARE proteins significantly increased APOL1 cytotoxicity in fly nephrocytes, the equivalent of mammalian podocytes, whereas overexpression of Syx7, Ykt6, or Syb attenuated their toxicity in nephrocytes. These SNARE proteins bound to APOL1-G0 with higher affinity than APOL1-G1/G2, and attenuated APOL1-G0 cytotoxicity to a greater extent than either APOL1-RA. Conclusions Using a Drosophila screen, we identified SNARE proteins (Syx7, Ykt6, and Syb) as antagonists of APOL1-induced cytotoxicity by directly binding APOL1. These data uncovered a new potential protective role for certain SNARE proteins in the pathogenesis of APOL1-CKD and provide novel therapeutic targets for APOL1-associated nephropathies.

    Abstract This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following lung transplantation (LTx) surgery. Sixty adult patients undergoing bilateral LTx were randomized to receive either inhalation of sevoflurane or continuous infusion of propofol for general anesthesia. The primary outcomes were AKI incidence according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria and blood biomarker of kidney injury, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C levels within 48 h of surgery. Serum interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and superoxide dismutase were measured before and after surgery. The post-operative 30-day morbidity and long-term mortality were also assessed. Significantly fewer patients in the propofol group developed AKI compared with the sevoflurane group (13% vs. 38%,

    Abstract People of African ancestry who carry the APOL1 risk alleles G1 or G2 are at high risk of developing kidney diseases through not fully understood mechanisms that impair the function of podocytes. It is also not clear whether the APOL1-G1 and APOL1-G2 risk alleles affect these cells through similar mechanisms. Previously, we have developed transgenic Drosophila melanogaster lines expressing either the human APOL1 reference allele (G0) or APOL1-G1 specifically in nephrocytes, the cells homologous to mammalian podocytes. We have found that nephrocytes that expressed the APOL1-G1 risk allele display accelerated cell death, in a manner similar to that of cultured human podocytes and APOL1 transgenic mouse models. Here, to compare how the APOL1-G1 and APOL1-G2 risk alleles affect the structure and function of nephrocytes in vivo, we generated nephrocyte-specific transgenic flies that either expressed the APOL1-G2 or both G1 and G2 (G1G2) risk alleles on the same allele. We found that APOL1-G2- and APOL1-G1G2-expressing nephrocytes developed more severe changes in autophagic pathways, acidification of organelles and the structure of the slit diaphragm, compared to G1-expressing nephrocytes, leading to their premature death. We conclude that both risk alleles affect similar key cell trafficking pathways, leading to reduced autophagy and suggesting new therapeutic targets to prevent APOL1 kidney diseases.

    Abstract Stressed cells secret misfolded proteins lacking signaling sequence via an unconventional protein secretion (UcPS) pathway, but how misfolded proteins are targeted selectively in UcPS is unclear. Here, we report that misfolded UcPS clients are subject to modification by a ubiquitin-like protein named ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1). Using α-synuclein (α-Syn) as a UcPS model, we show that mutating the UFMylation sites in α-Syn or genetic inhibition of the UFMylation system mitigates α-Syn secretion, whereas overexpression of UFBP1, a component of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated UFMylation ligase complex, augments α-Syn secretion in mammalian cells and in model organisms. UFM1 itself is cosecreted with α-Syn, and the serum UFM1 level correlates with that of α-Syn. Because UFM1 can be directly recognized by ubiquitin specific peptidase 19 (USP19), a previously established UcPS stimulator known to associate with several chaperoning activities, UFMylation might facilitate substrate engagement by USP19, allowing stringent and regulated selection of misfolded proteins for secretion and proteotoxic stress alleviation.
