Fifteen percutaneous renal biopsies from patients with acute renal failure due to acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), in almost all cases due to drugs, were studied by electron microscopy. Differential counting of interstitial cells showed an average of 69% lymphocytes (small and large) and 11 % macrophages. Plasma cells and eosinophils were comparatively rare. The infiltrate resembled that of acute rejection, suggesting a cellular hypersensitivity reaction. Proximal and distal tubules were severely affected focally. Migration of lymphocytes through the tubular basement membrane of otherwise well-preserved tubules was considered to be the first phase. Other tubules showed extreme thinning of the tubular basement membrane, with still intact cellular walls. Rupture of the tubular basement membrane and necrotic disintegration of tubular epithelial cells are probably late phenomena. The non-necrotic tubules displayed severe reduction of proximal brush border and proximal as well as distal tubular basolateral infoldings. Focal tubular disintegration leading to tubular block and/or backleak as well as decrease of proximal tubular sodium resorption leading to a decreased glomerular filtration (a mechanism probably also acting in ischemic acute renal failure) may all be factors responsible for the acute renal failure in AIN. 相似文献

Several children presenting with mild symptoms of respiratory tract infection were diagnosed with unclassified interstitial pneumonia with fibrosis. Their clinical and radiological findings were similar to those of acute interstitial pneumonia, but there were some differences in the pathological findings. Unclassified interstitial pneumonia with fibrosis is characterized by histological findings of centrilobular distribution of alveolar damage and bronchiolar destruction with bronchiolar obliteration. This report describes two different series of familial cases of unclassified interstitial pneumonia with fibrosis, which developed almost simultaneously in the spring. Some of the individual cases showed rapidly progressive respiratory failure of unknown cause, with comparable clinical courses and similar radiological and pathological features, including lung fibrosis. Each family member was affected almost simultaneously in the spring, different kinds of viruses were detected in two patients, and all members were negative for bacterial infection, environmental and occupational agents, drugs, and radiation. These findings implicate a viral infection and/or processes related to a viral infection, such as an exaggerated or altered immune response, or an unknown inhaled environmental agent in the pathogenesis of unclassified interstitial pneumonia with fibrosis. 相似文献

microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate diverse cellular functions and signaling pathways via inhibiting the expression of their target genes. Given that miR‐128 mediates mitogen‐activated protein kinase signaling and production of reactive oxygen species and pro‐inflammatory chemokines in various types of cells and tissues, and that miR‐128 is differentially expressed in aged and diseased kidneys, we hypothesized that miR‐128 may play key roles in kidney inflammation. Hence, in this study, we evaluated the biological effects of miR‐128 in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells in vitro. Our results revealed that overexpression of miR‐128 enhanced expression of genes associated with inflammation, pro‐inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis in NRK cells. The recent reports showing that expression of miR‐128 is increased in liver and lung fibrosis, together with the findings in this study, suggest that miR‐128 may be a pro‐fibrotic miRNA that regulates fibrosis in various tissues.

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic renal failure. Myofibroblasts play a major role in the synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix in diabetic renal fibrosis. Increasing evidence suggests that endothelial cells may undergo endothelial-myofibroblast transition under physiological and pathophysiological circumstances. Therefore, this study investigates whether endothelial-myofibroblast transition occurs and contributes to the development of diabetic renal interstitial fibrosis. Diabetes was induced by administration of streptozotocin to Tie2-Cre;LoxP-EGFP mice, an endothelial lineage-traceable mouse line generated by crossbreeding B6.Cg-Tg(Tek-cre)12F1v/J mice with B6.Cg-Tg(ACTB-Bgeo/GFP)21Lbe/J mice. The endothelial-myofibroblast transition was also studied in MMECs (a mouse pancreatic microvascular endothelial cell line) and primary cultures of CD31+/EYFP− (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein) endothelial cells isolated from adult normal α-smooth muscle actin promoter-driven-EYFP (α-SMA/EYFP) mouse kidneys. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that 10.4 ± 4.2 and 23.5 ± 7.4% of renal interstitial myofibroblasts (α-SMA+) in 1- and 6-month streptozotocin-induced diabetic kidneys were of endothelial origin (EGFP+/α-SMA+ cells), compared with just 0.2 ± 0.1% of myofibroblasts in vehicle-treated Tie2-Cre;LoxP-EGFP mice (P < 0.01). Confocal microscopy and real-time PCR showed that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 induced de novo expression of α-SMA and loss of expression of VE-cadherin and CD31 in MMECs and primary cultures of renal endothelial cells in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. These findings demonstrate that the endothelial-myofibroblast transition occurs and contributes to the early development and progression of diabetic renal interstitial fibrosis and suggest that the endothelial-myofibroblast transition may be a therapeutic target.Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the Western world. Approximately 25 to 35% of patients with type 1 diabetes1 and 5 to 10% of patients with type II diabetes2 develop DN. Glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis are the key morphological features of DN, and both correlate well with the development and progression of renal disease.3 Myofibroblasts play a major role in the synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix in the development and progression of renal fibrosis. In DN, cells expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), the putative marker of myofibroblasts, are located primarily in the renal interstitium and to a lesser extent in glomeruli in association with mesangial proliferation.4 The number of myofibroblasts is inversely correlated with renal function in DN.5Importantly however, the origin of myofibroblasts in DN remains unclear. It is generally believed that myofibroblasts may be derived from resident fibroblasts, epithelial cells through the epithelial-myofibroblast transition, mesangial cells, or bone marrow-derived cells. Interestingly, increasing evidence suggests that endothelial cells may undergo endothelial-myofibroblast transition (EndoMT) under physiological and pathophysiological circumstances6,7 and thereby give rise to myofibroblasts. Arciniegas et al8 demonstrated that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 can induce aortic endothelial cells to differentiate into α-SMA+ cells in vitro, suggesting a novel role for TGF-β1 in atherogenesis. Moreover, embryonic endothelial cells have been shown to transdifferentiate into mesenchymal cells expressing α-SMA in vitro and in vivo,9 and vascular endothelium-derived cells contain α-SMA in restenosis,10 inflammation, and hypertension,11 suggesting that myofibroblasts may be of endothelial origin.The involvement of TGF-β1 in renal fibrosis, including DN, has been the subject of extensive investigation.12 TGF-β1 exerts its biological effects by signaling through TGF-β type II and type I receptors,13 and their downstream effectors, R-Smads (Smad2 and Smad3). TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling pathways are activated in human DN14 and diabetic mouse kidneys.15,16 Smad3-null mice are resistant to streptozocin (STZ)-induced DN.17 It remains largely unknown whether TGF-β1 can induce EndoMT in microvascular endothelial cells in DN, one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes and whether Smad3 plays a pivotal role in the process of TGF-β1-induced EndoMT.In this study we investigated whether EndoMT occurs and contributes to the development of renal interstitial fibrosis in STZ-induced DN in an endothelial lineage-traceable mouse line, the Tie2-Cre;LoxP-EGFP mouse. We also assess whether a specific inhibitor for Smad3 (SIS3)18 can inhibit TGF-β-induced EndoMT in a mouse microvascular endothelial cell line (MMECs). 相似文献

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Serum albumin, a negative acute-phase reactant and marker for underlying inflammation and/or malnutrition, is an independent predictor of CVD and mortality in CKD VI patients. Such an association in patients with less severe CKD is not well established. 相似文献

Understanding the origin of myofibroblasts in kidney is of great interest because these cells are responsible for scar formation in fibrotic kidney disease. Recent studies suggest epithelial cells are an important source of myofibroblasts through a process described as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; however, confirmatory studies in vivo are lacking. To quantitatively assess the contribution of renal epithelial cells to myofibroblasts, we used Cre/Lox techniques to genetically label and fate map renal epithelia in models of kidney fibrosis. Genetically labeled primary proximal epithelial cells cultured in vitro from these mice readily induce markers of myofibroblasts after transforming growth factor β1 treatment. However, using either red fluorescent protein or β-galactosidase as fate markers, we found no evidence that epithelial cells migrate outside of the tubular basement membrane and differentiate into interstitial myofibroblasts in vivo. Thus, although renal epithelial cells can acquire mesenchymal markers in vitro, they do not directly contribute to interstitial myofibroblast cells in vivo. Lineage analysis shows that during nephrogenesis, FoxD1-positive(+) mesenchymal cells give rise to adult CD73+, platelet derived growth factor receptor β+, smooth muscle actin-negative interstitial pericytes, and these FoxD1-derivative interstitial cells expand and differentiate into smooth muscle actin+ myofibroblasts during fibrosis, accounting for a large majority of myofibroblasts. These data indicate that therapeutic strategies directly targeting pericyte differentiation in vivo may productively impact fibrotic kidney disease.Understanding the origin and differentiation pathways of myofibroblasts in vivo is critical for identifying new therapeutic strategies for fibrosing disease. Myofibroblasts, contractile cells that deposit pathological extracellular matrix, were first believed to derive from a specialized perivascular cell known as the hepatic stellate cell when studied in the liver. In health these cells store retinoic acid in intracellular vesicles and cultured stellate cells possess all of the hallmarks of myofibroblasts in vitro.1 In other organ systems, similar perivascular cells have been postulated to be the source of myofibroblasts, but have been hard to define.2,3 Mesoderm-derived cells, when cultured in vitro, differentiate into cells with hallmarks of myofibroblasts, including most notably mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow, as well as mesangial cells of the kidney, and cultured monocyte-derived macrophages.4–6 Whether mesoderm-derived pericytes (also called perivascular fibroblasts) give rise to kidney myofibroblasts remains controversial, partly because primary epithelial cells when cultured in vitro can be induced to express some genes that are also expressed in myofibroblasts.7–9 During carcinogenesis phenotypic alterations termed epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been well characterized and promote cell migration, invasion, and metastasis.10 Further, a recent report suggests that other terminally differentiated cells such as endothelial cells can develop a myofibroblast phenotype in vitro and in vivo.11,12It has been postulated that during kidney injury in vivo, epithelial cells undergo a phenotypic transition or can transdifferentiate into interstitial myofibroblasts by this same process of EMT.13,14 Subsequent studies both in vivo and in vitro support this hypothesis.15,16 The implication from these observations is that if the molecular mechanisms by which epithelial cells traverse the basement membrane and differentiate into myofibroblasts can be understood, novel antifibrotic strategies will be identified.Epithelial cells are known to respond to injury in several ways. They undergo morphological changes, lose polarity, acquire stress fibers, and migrate along the basement membrane.17 They up-regulate inflammatory genes and genes that enhance their ability to survive in a hostile environment.18,19 In addition, they express some genes shared by embryonic mesenchymal cells transitioning to epithelium during nephrogenesis.20–22 Thus it has been suggested that in response to injury epithelial cells undergo EMT, recapitulating primitive mesenchymal cells of the intermediate mesoderm.9 This, however, is misleading since intermediate mesoderm cells do not express inflammatory and cell-survival genes that injured adult epithelial cells up-regulate, and expression of a limited number of genes shared by embryonic mesenchyme such as α smooth muscle actin (SMA), by itself, does not define injured epithelial cells as mesenchymal.23–25 Neoplastic epithelial cells have the capacity to metastasize, share some characteristics with myofibroblasts, and express or down-regulate key regulators of metastasis such as mts1 (S100A4 or FSP-1), Twist, Snail, and β-catenin, genes whose expression can also be activated in cultured epithelial cells.26–28 Proponents of the hypothesis that myofibroblasts in inflammation and scarring derive from epithelial cells have drawn on these observations to extend the term EMT to mean epithelial-to-myofibroblast transition.Interstitial myofibroblasts are the principle source of interstitial collagens, including fibrillar collagens I and III. They are widely held to be the primary cell in the injured kidney that lays down the interstitial matrix that becomes fibrotic (For review see29). Many myofibroblasts express the actin fiber, αSMA that correlates with contractile and activated morphology, and recent studies confirmed that in the fibrotic kidney more than 80% of these produce fibrillary collagen.30 Although this is not specific to interstitial myofibroblasts (αSMA is also expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells), αSMA has long been used as a marker of myofibroblasts.Although it is widely accepted that primary epithelial cells cultured in vitro up-regulate genes that result in a myofibroblast phenotype,9,25 and generate fibrillar collagens, the evidence that this occurs in vivo is less well-established. There are some published examples of epithelial cells transgressing intact or disrupted basement membrane or cells co-expressing established epithelial and fibroblast markers in vivo,31–33 but histological snapshots do not prove a lineage relationship, and cells may express a variety of antigens during injury. In our own extensive studies of injured epithelial cells in kidney repair, we concluded that non-epithelial cells do not migrate from interstitium into the tubule.34 Similarly, we have never observed a cell outside of the confines of the epithelial basement membrane that was positive for markers of epithelial injury. Explanations for a failure to make these observations in fixed tissues include the hypothesis that a cell exiting the confines of the basement membrane rapidly loses epithelial markers and only subsequently gains myofibroblast markers.35 However, in vitro, epithelial cells can express both fibroblast markers and epithelial markers simultaneously.36Because efforts to design new antifibrotic therapies require a rigorous understanding of the cellular origin of myofibroblasts in vivo, we have performed lineage analysis of both renal epithelial cells and interstitial stromal cells during fibrosis in vivo. Transgenic or knock-in mice with lineage-restricted expression of bacterial Cre recombinase were used for genetic tracking of three cell populations. The HoxB7-Cre driver is expressed exclusively in the mesonephric duct and its derivatives, resulting in labeling of collecting duct epithelium and ureteral epithelium of adult kidney.37 In the Six2-Cre transgenic mouse, expression of Cre occurs in cap-mesenchyme and labels all non-ureteric, bud-derived, nephron epithelia, including podocytes, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and connecting segment, but it does not label any interstitial cell population.34,38 FoxD1 is a well characterized marker of renal stromal cells, but not epithelia, during development, and we used FoxD1-Cre knock-in mice to genetically label renal stroma.39 We crossed these three Cre drivers against two different reporter lines to permanently and heritably label all epithelial cells of the entire nephron in adult mouse kidney or all stromal cells.34,38 We demonstrate that, contrary to the prevailing model, kidney epithelial cells do not become myofibroblasts in vivo during fibrotic disease. Rather, we show by genetic tracing that myofibroblasts derive from interstitial pericytes/perivascular fibroblasts. 相似文献
