    Abstract The introduction of gliflozins in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus leads to a better control of hyperglycemia, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and fluid retention. Most importantly, it also improves renal survival and reduces major cardiovascular events and mortality. Gliflozins were also found to induce erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis, leading to reticulocytosis and erythropoiesis. The mechanism(s) by which gliflozins induce erythropoiesis is a matter of debate. Although the canonical pathway of triggering EPO synthesis is through renal tissue hypoxia, it has been suggested that improved renal oxygenation may facilitate EPO synthesis via non-canonical routes. The latter proposes that the recovery of peritubular interstitial fibroblasts producing erythropoietin (EPO) is responsible for enhanced erythropoiesis. According to this hypothesis, enhanced glucose/sodium re-uptake by proximal tubules in uncontrolled diabetes generates cortical hypoxia, with injury to these cells. Once transport workload declines with the use of SGLT2i, they recover and regain their capacity to produce EPO. In this short communication, we argue that this hypothesis may be wrong and propose that gliflozins likely induce EPO through the documented intensification of renal hypoxia at the corticomedullary junction, related to the translocation of tubular transport from cortical segments to medullary thick ascending limbs. We propose that gliflozins, through intensified hypoxia in this region, trigger local EPO synthesis in peritubular interstitial cells via the canonical pathway of blocking HIF-prolyl hydroxylases (that initiate HIF alpha degradation), with the consequent stabilization of HIF-2 signal and an apocrinic induction of EPO in these same cells.

    Abstract Gliflozins provide a breakthrough in the management of type-2 diabetes. In addition to facilitating normoglycemia, these sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors attenuate obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and fluid retention, reduce cardiovascular morbidity, retard the progression of renal dysfunction, and improve survival. The administration of gliflozins also triggers erythropoietin (EPO) production, with the consequent induction of reticulocytosis and erythrocytosis. The mechanism(s) by which gliflozins induce erythropoiesis is a matter of debate. Whereas the canonical pathway of triggering EPO synthesis is through renal tissue hypoxia, it has been suggested that improved renal oxygenation may facilitate EPO synthesis via noncanonical trails. The latter proposes that recovery of peritubular interstitial fibroblasts producing erythropoietin (EPO) is responsible for enhanced erythropoiesis. According to this hypothesis, enhanced glucose/sodium reuptake by proximal tubules in uncontrolled diabetes generates cortical hypoxia, with injury to these cells. Once transport workload declines with the use of SGLT2i, they recover and regain their capacity to produce EPO. In this short communication, we argue that this hypothesis is incorrect. First, there is no evidence for interstitial cell injury related to hypoxia in the diabetic kidney. Tubular, rather than interstitial cells are prone to hypoxic injury in the diabetic kidney. Moreover, hypoxia, not normoxia, stimulates EPO synthesis by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Hypoxia regulates EPO synthesis as it blocks HIF prolyl hydroxylases (that initiate HIF alpha degradation), hence stabilizing HIF signals, inducing HIF-dependent genes, including EPO located in the deep cortex, and its production is initiated by the apocrinic formation of HIF-2, colocalized in these same cells.

    Abstract Recent years have brought about fledgling realization of the role played by heparanase in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases including kidney diseases and, specifically, acute kidney injury. Human heparanase-1 is critically and uniquely engaged in cleavage of heparan sulfate, an integral part of glycocalyx and extracellular matrix where it harbors distinct growth factors, cytokines, and other biologically active molecules. The enzyme is induced and activated in acute kidney injury regardless of its causes, ischemic, nephrotoxic, septic or transplantation-related. This event unleashes a host of sequelae characteristic of the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury, such as induction and reinforcement of innate immune responses, predisposition to thrombosis, activation of monocytes/macrophages and remodeling of the extracellular matrix, thus setting up the stage for future fibrotic complications and development of chronic kidney disease. We briefly discuss the emerging therapeutic strategies of inhibiting heparanase, as well as the diagnostic value of detecting products of heparanase activity for prognostication and treatment.
