    Abstract Hypoxia in solid tumors is an important predictor of treatment resistance and poor clinical outcome. The significance of hypoxia in the development of resistance to radiotherapy has been recognized for decades and the search for hypoxia-targeting, radiosensitizing agents continues. This review summarizes the main hypoxia-related processes relevant for radiotherapy on the subcellular, cellular and tissue level and discusses the significance of hypoxia in radiation oncology, especially with regard to the current shift towards hypofractionated treatment regimens. Furthermore, we discuss the strategies to interfere with hypoxia for radiotherapy optimization, and we highlight novel insights into the molecular pathways involved in hypoxia that might be utilized to increase the efficacy of radiotherapy.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Historically, the identity of O2-sensing renal erythropoietin (Epo)-producing (REP) cells was a matter of debate. This review summarizes how recent breakthroughs in transgenic mouse and in-situ hybridization techniques have facilitated sensitive and specific detection of REP cells and accelerated advancements in the understanding of the regulation of renal Epo production in health and disease.
    Recent findings: REP cells are a dynamically regulated unique subpopulation of tubulointerstitial cells with features of fibroblasts, pericytes and neurons. Under normal conditions, REP cells are located in the corticomedullary border region within a steep decrement in O2 availability. During the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), REP cells cease Epo production, dedifferentiate and contribute to the progression of renal fibrosis. However, CKD patients with renal anaemia still respond with elevated Epo production following treatment with hypoxia-mimicking agents.
    Summary: We hypothesize that REP cells are neuron-like setpoint providers and controllers, which integrate information about blood O2 concentration and local O2 consumption via tissue pO2, and combine these inputs with intrinsic negative feedback loops and perhaps tubular cross-talk, converging in Epo regulation.

    Abstract The three hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain (PHD) 1-3 enzymes confer oxygen sensitivity to the HIF pathway and are novel therapeutic targets for treatment of renal anemia. Inhibition of the PHDs may further be beneficial in other hypoxia-associated diseases, including ischemia and chronic inflammation. Several pharmacologic PHD inhibitors (PHIs) are available, but our understanding of their selectivity and its chemical basis is limited. We here report that the PHI JNJ-42041935 (JNJ-1935) is structurally similar to the firefly luciferase substrate D-luciferin. Our results demonstrate that JNJ-1935 is a novel inhibitor of firefly luciferase enzymatic activity. In contrast, the PHIs FG-4592 (roxadustat) and FG-2216 (ICA, BIQ, IOX3, YM 311) did not affect firefly luciferase. The JNJ-1935 mode of inhibition is competitive with a K

    Abstract Erythropoietin (Epo) is the critical hormone for erythropoiesis. In adults, Epo is mainly produced by a subset of interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney, with minor amounts being produced in the liver and the brain. In this study, we used the immortalized renal interstitial fibroblast cell line FAIK F3-5 to investigate the ability of the bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) to stimulate Epo production and to reveal the mechanism involved. Stimulation of cells with exogenous S1P under normoxic conditions (21% O

    Abstract Renal erythropoietin (Epo)-producing (REP) cells represent a rare and incompletely understood cell type. REP cells are fibroblast-like cells located in close proximity to blood vessels and tubules of the corticomedullary border region. Epo mRNA in REP cells is produced in a pronounced "on-off" mode, showing transient transcriptional bursts upon exposure to hypoxia. In contrast to "ordinary" fibroblasts, REP cells do not proliferate ex vivo, cease to produce Epo, and lose their identity following immortalization and prolonged in vitro culture, consistent with the loss of Epo production following REP cell proliferation during tissue remodelling in chronic kidney disease. Because Epo protein is usually not detectable in kidney tissue, and Epo mRNA is only transiently induced under hypoxic conditions, transgenic mouse models have been developed to permanently label REP cell precursors, active Epo producers, and inactive descendants. Future single-cell analyses of the renal stromal compartment will identify novel characteristic markers of tagged REP cells, which will provide novel insights into the regulation of Epo expression in this unique cell type.

    Abstract The performance of machine learning algorithms, when used for segmenting 3D biomedical images, does not reach the level expected based on results achieved with 2D photos. This may be explained by the comparative lack of high-volume, high-quality training datasets, which require state-of-the-art imaging facilities, domain experts for annotation and large computational and personal resources. The HR-Kidney dataset presented in this work bridges this gap by providing 1.7 TB of artefact-corrected synchrotron radiation-based X-ray phase-contrast microtomography images of whole mouse kidneys and validated segmentations of 33 729 glomeruli, which corresponds to a one to two orders of magnitude increase over currently available biomedical datasets. The image sets also contain the underlying raw data, threshold- and morphology-based semi-automatic segmentations of renal vasculature and uriniferous tubules, as well as true 3D manual annotations. We therewith provide a broad basis for the scientific community to build upon and expand in the fields of image processing, data augmentation and machine learning, in particular unsupervised and semi-supervised learning investigations, as well as transfer learning and generative adversarial networks.
