    Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells protect against premature renal senescence resulting from oxidative stress in rats with acute kidney injury
    (2017) RODRIGUES, Camila Eleuterio; CAPCHA, Jose Manuel Condor; BRAGANCA, Ana Carolina de; SANCHES, Talita Rojas; GOUVEIA, Priscila Queiroz; OLIVEIRA, Patricia Aparecida Ferreira de; MALHEIROS, Denise Maria Avancini Costa; VOLPINI, Rildo Aparecido; SANTINHO, Mirela Aparecida Rodrigues; SANTANA, Barbara Amelia Aparecida; CALADO, Rodrigo do Tocantins; NORONHA, Irene de Lourdes; ANDRADE, Lucia
    Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represent an option for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI). It is known that young stem cells are better than are aged stem cells at reducing the incidence of the senescent phenotype in the kidneys. The objective of this study was to determine whether AKI leads to premature, stress-induced senescence, as well as whether human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (huMSCs) can prevent ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced renal senescence in rats. Methods: By clamping both renal arteries for 45 min, we induced IRI in male rats. Six hours later, some rats received 1 x 10(6) huMSCs or human adipose-derived MSCs (aMSCs) intraperitoneally. Rats were euthanised and studied on post-IRI days 2, 7 and 49. Results: On post-IRI day 2, the kidneys of huMSC-treated rats showed improved glomerular filtration, better tubular function and higher expression of aquaporin 2, as well as less macrophage infiltration. Senescence-related proteins (beta-galactosidase, p21Waf1/Cip1, p16INK4a and transforming growth factor beta 1) andmicroRNAs (miR-29a and miR-34a) were overexpressed after IRI and subsequently downregulated by the treatment. The IRI-induced pro-oxidative state and reduction in Klotho expression were both reversed by the treatment. In comparison with huMSC treatment, the treatment with aMSCs improved renal function to a lesser degree, as well as resulting in a less pronounced increase in the renal expression of Klotho and manganese superoxide dismutase. Treatment with huMSCs ameliorated long-term kidney function after IRI, minimised renal fibrosis, decreased beta-galactosidase expression and increased the expression of Klotho. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that huMSCs attenuate the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses occurring in AKI, as well as reducing the expression of senescence-related proteins and microRNAs. Our findings broaden perspectives for the treatment of AKI.

    Urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein, albumin, vitamin D-binding protein, and retinol-binding protein as early biomarkers of chronic kidney disease in dogs
    (2017) CHACAR, Fernanda; KOGIKA, Marcia; SANCHES, Talita R.; CARAGELASCO, Douglas; MARTORELLI, Cinthia; RODRIGUES, Camila; CAPCHA, Jose Manuel C.; CHEW, Dennis; ANDRADE, Lucia
    Proteinuria is a marker and mediator of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical practice, the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UP/C) is of limited usefulness, because it indicates only the magnitude of proteinuria and not the origin of the loss (glomerular or tubular). The complete assessment of proteinuria includes quantitative and qualitative evaluations, both of which are required in order to optimize the therapy. In addition to measuring the UP/C, we performed SDS-PAGE and western blotting to determine the expression of albumin, vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), retinol-binding protein (RBP), and Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) in urine samples of 49 dogs: healthy (control) dogs (n=9); and dogs with CKD (n=40), stratified by stage. In the dogs with stage 3 or 4 CKD, there was a predominance of tubular proteins. Neither VDBP nor RBP was observed in the urine of the control dogs. Among the dogs with stage 1 or 2 CKD, VDBP and RBP were detected in those without proteinuria or with borderline proteinuria. The expression of urinary albumin was significantly higher in the stage 4 group than in any other group (P <= 0.01). In the stage 4 group, urinary THP was either undetectable or lower than in the control group (P <= 0.01). In conclusion, urinary VDBP and RBP might act as early markers of kidney injury, and a decrease in urinary THP could be an indicator of CKD progression.
