    Abstract Objective We assessed the consistency of noninvasive and invasive measurements of central arterial pressure (CAP) and the difference between peripheral brachial artery pressure and CAP in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing versus not undergoing hemodialysis. Methods This single-center cross-sectional study was performed from May to December 2018. The patients were divided into a control group (n = 50), CKD group (stages 3–5, n = 50), and dialysis group (n = 20), and all underwent measurement of peripheral humeral arterial pressure and noninvasive and invasive measurement of CAP. Group differences and correlations between CAP and peripheral arterial pressure were assessed. Results The consistency between noninvasive and invasive CAP was better in the control and CKD groups than in the dialysis group. In the dialysis group, the noninvasive equipment underestimated the actual CAP. The CAP was close to the peripheral brachial artery pressure in the dialysis group, while the CAP was significantly lower than the peripheral brachial artery pressure in the control and CKD groups. Conclusion Noninvasive equipment underestimates the actual CAP in patients undergoing dialysis and should be used with caution. The difference between the peripheral arterial pressure and CAP was smaller in patients undergoing dialysis than in patients with CKD and controls.

    Abstract Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and potentially fatal consequence of diabetes. Chronic renal failure or end-stage renal disease may result over time. Numerous studies have demonstrated the function of the microbiota in health and disease. The use of advanced urine culture techniques revealed the presence of resident microbiota in the urinary tract, undermining the idea of urine sterility. Studies have demonstrated that the urine microbiota is related with urological illnesses; nevertheless, the fundamental mechanisms by which the urinary microbiota influences the incidence and progression of DKD remain unclear. The purpose of this research was to describe key characteristics of the patients with DKD urinary microbiota in order to facilitate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic for DKD. Methods: We evaluated the structure and composition of the microbiota extracted from urine samples taken from DKD patients (n = 19) and matched healthy controls (n = 15) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Meanwhile, serum metabolite profiles were compared using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Associations between clinical characteristics, urine microbiota, and serum metabolites were also examined. Finally, the interaction between urine microbiota and serum metabolites was clarified based on differential metabolite abundance analysis. Results: The findings indicated that the DKD had a distinct urinary microbiota from the healthy controls (HC). Taxonomic investigations indicated that the DKD microbiome had less alpha diversity than a control group. Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria phyla increased in the DKD, while Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Acidobacteria was the most prevalent microbiota in the DKD, as determined by the Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) plot. Changes in the urinary microbiota of DKD also had an effect on the makeup of metabolites. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) were ...

    Abstract Abstract Background The diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is complicated. This study explores the expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are closed non-coding RNAs in which the 5′ and 3′ ends are covalently linked and which work by sponging microRNAs. CircRNAs were extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of SLE patients to identify novel circRNA species that might be used for SLE diagnosis. Methods Microarray was applied to screening circRNAs changes in PBMCs obtained from SLE patients (n = 10) and healthy participants (n = 10), paired for age and sex. We then verified the selected circRNAs in PBMCs using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification (qRT-PCR) in another cohort, including ten paired SLE patients and healthy participants. The correlation between the differential circRNAs and clinical pathology of SLE were analyzed. Results 182 up-regulated and 563 significantly down-regulated circRNAs in PBMCs of patients with SLE were identified. Besides, the qRT-PCR results were consistent with the microarray results. The correlation analysis revealed that has_circRNA_100236, has_circRNA_102489, and has_circRNA_101413 were correlated with positive anti-dsDNA, thrombocytopenia, and positive IgG, respectively. Lastly, their miRNAs targets and the binding sites were predicted. Conclusion We identified some dysregulated circRNAs in PBMCs from SLE patients, and these circRNAs may be developed as the novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of SLE.

    Abstract Abstract Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to the structurally intact chromosome genomic DNA, there is a double-stranded circular DNA called extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), which is thought to be involved in the epigenetic regulation of human disease. However, the features of eccDNA in ESRD patients are barely known. In this study, we identified eccDNA from ESRD patients and healthy people, as well as revealed the characteristics of eccDNA in patients with ESRD. Methods Using the high-throughput Circle-Sequencing technique, we examined the eccDNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy people (NC) (n = 12) and ESRD patients (n = 16). We analyzed the length distribution, genome elements, and motifs feature of eccDNA in ESRD patients. Then, after identifying the specific eccDNA in ESRD patients, we explored the potential functions of the target genes of the specific eccDNA. Finally, we investigated the probable hub eccDNA using algorithms. Results In total, 14,431 and 11,324 eccDNAs were found in the ESRD and NC groups, respectively, with sizes ranging from 0.01 kb to 60 kb at most. Additionally, the ESRD group had a greater distribution of eccDNA on chromosomes 4, 11, 13, and 20. In two groups, we also discovered several motifs of specific eccDNAs. Furthermore, we identified 13,715 specific eccDNAs in the ESRD group and 10,585 specific eccDNAs in the NC group, both of which were largely annotated as mRNA catalog. Pathway studies using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that the specific eccDNA in ESRD was markedly enriched in cell junction and communication pathways. Furthermore, we identified potentially 20 hub eccDNA-targeting genes from all ESRD-specific eccDNA-targeting genes. Also, we found that 39 eccDNA-targeting genes were associated with ESRD, and some of these eccDNAs may be related to the pathogenesis of ESRD. Conclusions Our findings revealed the ...

    Abstract Introduction : To analyze the microRNA expression of tumor necrosi factor α (TNF-α) stimulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and exosomes from their culture supernatant. Material and methods : TNF-α (20 ng/ml) was used to stimulate MSCs, which were then regarded as TNF-αcells (TC), while unstimulated cells were the normal control cells (NCC). MSCs and their culture supernatant were harvested after 48 h. Subsequently, exosomes were isolated from culture supernatants with ExoQuick-TC and were divided into two groups, TNF-α exosomes (TE) and normal control exosomes (NCE). Then, the microRNAs were measured by high-throughput sequencing and the results were differentially analyzed. Finally, the correlation of the target genes corresponding to differently expressed microRNAs was analyzed by gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. Results : High-throughput sequencing showed that the cellular compartment (TC vs. NCC) had 280 microRNAs. miR-146a-5p was a uniquely up-regulated microRNA (p < 0.001) and the most significantly down-regulated microRNA among the 279 microRNAs included was miR-150-5p (p < 0.001). There were 180 differentially expressed microRNAs in the exosome compartment (TE vs. NCE), where miR-146-5p (p < 0.001) was one of 176 upregulated microRNAs and miR-203b-5p (p < 0.001) was one of 4 downregulated microRNAs. Coincidentally, bioinformatics analysis showed that IRAK1 was a critical target gene of miR-146-5p related to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway. Conclusions : In contrast with the control group, there were significantly differentially expressed microRNAs in both MSCs and exosomes. Interestingly, miR-146a-5p was up-regulated in both comparative groups, and its target gene IRAK1 plays a crucial part in the TLR signaling pathway. These investigations demonstrate a new direction for subsequent inflammation mechanistic studies.

    Abstract BackgroundImmunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis. Although an important link between intestinal metabolites and immune activity is widely established, the metabolic profile of IgAN is still poorly understood, which severely limits the mechanistic studies and therapy of IgAN.MethodsThe diversity of intestinal flora and relative abundance of metabolites in IgAN patients and healthy subjects were measured by 16s ribosomal RNA gene sequencing combined with liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. The levels of serum Gd-IgA1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-22, and TNF-a were tested by ELISA. We employed the tryptophan-targeted UHPLC-MRM-MS approach to assess the content of tryptophan metabolites quantitatively.ResultsIntestinal fatty acid levels, mainly unsaturated fatty acids, were observed to be dramatically decreased in IgAN patients. Disorders in linoleic acid and arachidonic acid metabolism, metabolic imbalances of anti-/pro- inflammatory fatty acid metabolites, and intestinal AhR signaling deficiency might reflect the damage of the intestinal mucosal barrier in IgAN patients. In addition, we found that high levels of Gd-IgA1, IL-22, and TNF-α were associated with the activity of the tryptophan-kynurenine metabolic pathway, as well as lower levels of 3-indolepropionic acid. 3-indolepropionic acid, kynurenine, and indoleacrylic acid had synergistic effects on regulating immuno-inflammatory responses in IgAN patients.ConclusionsThe metabolic characteristic of fatty acids and tryptophan in the intestinal system is disturbed in IgAN patients, leading to active immune-inflammatory reactions.

    Abstract Abstract Background Research on spatiotemporal gene landscape can provide insights into the spatial characteristics of human kidney development and facilitate kidney organoid cultivation. Here, we profiled the spatiotemporal gene programs of the human embryonic kidneys at 9 and 18 post-conception weeks (PCW) by integrating the application of microarray-based spatial transcriptomics and single-cell transcriptomics. Results We mapped transcriptomic signatures of scRNA-seq cell types upon the 9 and 18 PCW kidney sections based on cell-type deconvolution and multimodal intersection analyses, depicting a spatial landscape of developing cell subpopulations. We established the gene characteristics in the medullary regions and revealed a strong mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis activity in the deeper medullary region. We also built a regulatory network centered on GDNF-ETV4 for nephrogenic niche development based on the weighted gene co-expression network analysis and highlighted the key roles of Wnt, FGF, and JAG1-Notch2 signaling in maintaining renal branching morphogenesis. Conclusions Our findings obtained by this spatiotemporal gene program are expected to improve the current understanding of kidney development.

    Abstract Abstract A weak alkaline environment is established to facilitate the growth of osteoblasts. Unfortunately, this is inconsistent with the application of biodegradable polymer in bone regeneration, as the degradation products are usually acidic. In this study, the variation of the interfacial pH of poly (D, L-lactide) and piperazine-based polyurethane ureas (P-PUUs), as the representations of acidic degradable materials, and the behavior of osteoblasts on these substrates with tunable interfacial pH were investigated in vitro. These results revealed that the release of degraded products caused a rapid decrease in the interfacial pH, and this could be relieved by the introduction of alkaline segments. On the contrary, when culturing with osteoblasts, the variation of the interfacial pH revealed an upward tendency, indicating that cell could construct the microenvironment by secreting cellular metabolites to satisfy its own survival. In addition, the behavior of osteoblasts on substrates exhibited that P-PUUs with the most PP units were better for cell growth and osteogenic differentiation of cells. This is due to the hydrophilic surface and the moderate N% in P-PUUs, key factors in the promotion of the early stages of cellular responses, and the interfacial pH contributing to the enhanced effect on osteogenic differentiation.
