    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is still associated with high morbidity and mortality incidence rates, and also bears an elevated risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease. Although the kidney has a remarkable capacity for regeneration after injury and may recover completely depending on the type of renal lesions, the options for clinical intervention are restricted to fluid management and extracorporeal kidney support. The development of novel therapies to prevent AKI, to improve renal regeneration capacity after AKI, and to preserve renal function is urgently needed. The Special Issue covers research articles that investigated the molecular mechanisms of inflammation and injury during different renal pathologies, renal regeneration, diagnostics using new biomarkers, and the effects of different stimuli like medication or bacterial components on isolated renal cells or in vivo models. The Special Issue contains important reviews that consider the current knowledge of cell death and regeneration, inflammation, and the molecular mechanisms of kidney diseases. In addition, the potential of cell-based therapy approaches that use mesenchymal stromal/stem cells or their derivates is summarized. This edition is complemented by reviews that deal with the current data situation on other specific topics like diabetes and diabetic nephropathy or new therapeutic targets

    Abstract Background: The factors driving the late phase of COVID-19 are still poorly understood. However, autoimmunity is an evolving theme in COVID-19's pathogenesis. Additionally, deregulation of human retroelements (RE) is found in many viral infections, and has also been reported in COVID-19.
    Results: Unexpectedly, coronaviruses (CoV) - including SARS-CoV-2 - harbour many RE-identical sequences (up to 35 base pairs), and some of these sequences are part of SARS-CoV-2 epitopes associated to COVID-19 severity. Furthermore, RE are expressed in healthy controls and human cells and become deregulated after SARS-CoV-2 infection, showing mainly changes in long interspersed nuclear element (LINE1) expression, but also in endogenous retroviruses.
    Conclusion: CoV and human RE share coding sequences, which are targeted by antibodies in COVID-19 and thus could induce an autoimmune loop by molecular mimicry.

  8. Book ; Online: Polarization-Dependent Loss of Optical Connectors Measured with High Accuracy (<0.004 dB) after Cancelation of Polarimetric Errors

    Abstract State-of-the-art polarimeter calibration is reviewed. Producing many quasi-random polarization states and moving/bending a fiber without changing power allows finding a polarimeter calibration where the degree-of-polarization reaches unity and parasitic polarization-dependent loss is small. Using a polarization scrambler/transformer and a polarimeter a device-under-test can be characterized. Its Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a product of a nondepolarizing Mueller-Jones matrix times a purely depolarizing Mueller matrix. Test polarizations may drift over time. With help of an optical switch the reference device can be measured against an internal reference path. Later, with possibly different test polarizations, the actual device-under-test is measured against the internal reference. Polarization drift and need for repeated reference device measurement are thus overcome. When a patchcord is inserted, connector PDL can be measured, provided that errors are calibrated away, again by fiber moving/bending. Experimentally we have measured PDL with errors <0.004 dB. This easily suffices to measure connector PDL, which is demonstrated. PDL >60 dB was measured when the device under test was a good polarizer. A 20 Mrad/s polarization scrambler with LiNbO3 device generates the test polarizations. The polarimeter can sample at 100 MHz and can store 64M Stokes vectors. During laser frequency scans Mueller matrices can be measured in time intervals as short as 5 us.

    Abstract Inflammation is intimately involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease. Inhibition of SGLT-2 by a specific class of drugs, gliflozins, has been shown to reduce inflammation and attenuate the progression of diabetic nephropathy, in addition to its main effect of inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption. We used highly purified human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTCs) as an in vitro model to study the cellular response to a diabetic (high glucose) and inflammatory (cytokines) microenvironment and the effect of gliflozins. In this context, we investigated the influence of SGLT-2 inhibition by empa- and dapagliflozin (500 nM) on the expression of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, and ICAM-1). The results clearly indicate an anti-inflammatory effect of both gliflozins. Although induced expression of the four cytokines was only slightly attenuated, there was a clear effect on the expression of the adhesion molecule ICAM-1, a master regulator of cellular responses in inflammation and injury resolution. The induced expression of ICAM-1 mRNA was significantly reduced by approximately 13.5% by empagliflozin and also showed an inhibitory trend with dapagliflozin. However, induced ICAM-1 protein expression was significantly inhibited from 24.71 ± 1.0 ng/mL to 18.81 ± 3.9 (empagliflozin) and 19.62 ± 2.1 ng/mL (dapagliflozin). In conclusion, an additional anti-inflammatory effect of empa- and dapagliflozin in therapeutically observed concentrations was demonstrated in primary human PTCs in vitro.
