    Abstract The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has been implicated in a wide range of pathological conditions including primary nephrotic syndromes and acute kidney injuries. suPAR can trigger transduction cascades in podocytes by outside-in activation of αVβ3-integrin, but there is evidence that the functional cell surface response element is actually a complex of different types of receptors, which may also include the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and formyl peptide receptors (FPRs). Here we observed that ROS accumulation and Src activation could be evoked by continuous 24 h exposure to either suPAR or the FPR agonist fMLF. Responses to suPAR and fMLF were completely blocked by either the FPR antagonist WRW4 or by the αV-integrin inhibitor cilengitide. Moreover, endogenous podocyte mouse Fpr1 co-immunoprecipitates with β3-integrin, suggesting that these receptors occur as a complex on the cell surface. suPAR- and fMLF-evoked activation of Src and ROS differed in time course. Thus, robust pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive responses were evoked by 60 min exposures to fMLF but not to suPAR. By contrast, responses to 24 h exposures to either suPAR or fMLF were PTX-resistant and were instead abolished by knockdown of β-arrestin-1 (BAR1). FPRs, integrins, and RAGE (along with various Toll-like receptors) can all function as pattern-recognition receptors that respond to "danger signals" associated with infections and tissue injury. The fact that podocytes express such a wide array of pattern-recognition receptors suggests that the glomerular filter is designed to change its function under certain conditions, possibly to facilitate clearance of toxic macromolecules.

    Abstract Diseases that induce a loss of renal function affect a substantial portion of the world's population and can range from a slight decline in the glomerular filtration rate or microalbuminuria to complete kidney failure. Kidney disorders can be acute or chronic, but any significant reduction in renal function is associated with increased all-cause morbidity and mortality, especially when the conditions become chronic. There is an urgent need for new therapeutic approaches to slow or halt the progression of kidney disease. One potential target of considerable interest is the canonical transient receptor potential-6 (TRPC6) channel. TRCP6 is a cationic channel with a significant permeability to Ca

    Abstract Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels have been implicated in familial and acquired forms of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in patients and animal models, as well as in renal fibrosis following ureteral obstruction in mice. Aging also evokes declines in renal function owing to effects on almost every renal compartment in humans and rodents. Here, we have examined the role of TRPC6 in driving inflammation and fibrosis during aging in Sprague-Dawley rats. This was assessed in rats with non-functional TRPC6 channels owing to CRISPR-Cas9 deletion of a portion of the ankyrin repeat domain required for the assembly of functional TRPC6 channels (

    Abstract The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases including primary and recurrent focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), diabetic nephropathy, and acute kidney injuries (AKI). Elevated serum suPAR concentration is a negative prognostic indicator in multiple critical clinical conditions. This study has examined the initial transduction steps used by suPAR in cultured mouse podocytes. We now report that the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) co-immunoprecipitates with αV and β3 integrin subunits, which have been previously shown to initiate suPAR signal transduction at the podocyte cell surface. siRNA knock-down of RAGE attenuated Src phosphorylation evoked by either suPAR or by glycated albumin (AGE-BSA), a prototypical RAGE agonist. suPAR effects on Src phosphorylation were also blocked by the structurally dissimilar RAGE antagonists FPS-ZM1 and azeliragon, as well as by cilengitide, an inhibitor of outside-in signaling through αV-integrins. FPS-ZM1 also blocked Src phosphorylation evoked by AGE-BSA. FPS-ZM1 blocked increases in cell surface TRPC6 abundance, cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of the small GTPase Rac1 evoked by either suPAR or AGE-BSA. In addition, FPS-ZM1 inhibited Src phosphorylation evoked by serum collected from a patient with recurrent FSGS during a relapse. The magnitude of this inhibition was indistinguishable from the effect produced by a neutralizing antibody against suPAR. These data suggest that orally bioavailable small molecule RAGE antagonists could represent a useful therapeutic strategy for a wide range of clinical conditions associated with elevated serum suPAR, including primary FSGS and AKI.

    Abstract An essential step in renal function entails the formation of an ultrafiltrate that is delivered to the renal tubules for subsequent processing. This process, known as glomerular filtration, is controlled by intrinsic regulatory systems and by paracrine, neuronal, and endocrine signals that converge onto glomerular cells. In addition, the characteristics of glomerular fluid flow, such as the glomerular filtration rate and the glomerular filtration fraction, play an important role in determining blood flow to the rest of the kidney. Consequently, disease processes that initially affect glomeruli are the most likely to lead to end-stage kidney failure. The cells that comprise the glomerular filter, especially podocytes and mesangial cells, express many different types of ion channels that regulate intrinsic aspects of cell function and cellular responses to the local environment, such as changes in glomerular capillary pressure. Dysregulation of glomerular ion channels, such as changes in TRPC6, can lead to devastating glomerular diseases, and a number of channels, including TRPC6, TRPC5, and various ionotropic receptors, are promising targets for drug development. This review discusses glomerular structure and glomerular disease processes. It also describes the types of plasma membrane ion channels that have been identified in glomerular cells, the physiological and pathophysiological contexts in which they operate, and the pathways by which they are regulated and dysregulated. The contributions of these channels to glomerular disease processes, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and diabetic nephropathy, as well as the development of drugs that target these channels are also discussed.

    Abstract l-Glutamate (l-Glu) plays an essential role in the central nervous system (CNS) as an excitatory neurotransmitter, and exerts its effects by acting on a large number of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. These receptors are also expressed in several peripheral tissues, including the kidney. This review summarizes the general properties of ionotropic and metabotropic l-Glu receptors, focusing on N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). NMDA receptors are expressed in the renal cortex and medulla, and appear to play a role in the regulation of renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, proximal tubule reabsorption and urine concentration within medullary collecting ducts. Sustained activation of NMDA receptors induces Ca(2+) influx and oxidative stress, which can lead to glomerulosclerosis, for example in hyperhomocysteinemia. Group 1 mGluRs are expressed in podocytes and probably in other cell types. Mice in which these receptors are knocked out gradually develop albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis. Several endogenous agonists of l-Glu receptors, which include sulfur-containing amino acids derived from l-homocysteine, and quinolinic acid (QA), as well as the co-agonists glycine and d-serine, are present in the circulation at concentrations capable of robustly activating ionotropic and metabotropic l-Glu receptors. These endogenous agonists may also be secreted from renal parenchymal cells, or from cells that have migrated into the kidney, by exocytosis or by transporters such as system x(-)(c), or by transporters involved in ammonia secretion. l-Glu receptors may be useful targets for drug therapy, and many selective orally-active compounds exist for investigation of these receptors as potential drug targets for various kidney diseases.

    Abstract Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels have been implicated in familial and acquired forms of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in patients and animal models, as well as in renal fibrosis following ureteral obstruction in mice. Aging also evokes declines in renal function owing to effects on almost every renal compartment in humans and rodents. Here, we have examined the role of TRPC6 in driving inflammation and fibrosis during aging in Sprague-Dawley rats. This was assessed in rats with non-functional TRPC6 channels owing to CRISPR-Cas9 deletion of a portion of the ankyrin repeat domain required for the assembly of functional TRPC6 channels ( Trpc6 del/del rats). Wild-type littermates ( Trpc6 wt/wt rats) were used as controls. Animals were evaluated at 2 months and 12 months of age. There was no sign of kidney disease at 2 months of age, regardless of genotype. However, by 12 months of age, all rats examined showed declines in renal function associated with albuminuria, azotemia and increased urine excretion of β2–microglobulin, a marker for proximal tubule pathology. These changes were equally severe in Trpc6 wt/wt and Trpc6 del/del rats. We also observed age-related increases in renal cortical expression of markers of fibrosis (α-smooth muscle actin and vimentin) and inflammation (NLRP3 and pro-IL−1β), and there was no detectable protective effect of TRPC6 inactivation. Tubulointerstitial fibrosis assessed from histology also appeared equally severe in Trpc6 wt/wt and Trpc6 del/del rats. By contrast, glomerular pathology, blindly scored from histological sections, suggested a significant protective effect of TRPC6 inactivation, but only within the glomerular compartment.
