Dual assessment of kidney perfusion and pH by exploiting a dynamic CEST‐MRI approach in an acute kidney ischemia–reperfusion injury murine model

Several factors can lead to acute kidney injury, but damage following ischemia and reperfusion injuries is the main risk factor and usually develops into chronic disease. MRI has often been proposed as a method with which to assess renal function. It does so by measuring the renal perfusion of an injected Gd‐based contrast agent. The use of pH‐responsive agents as part of the CEST (chemical exchange saturation transfer)‐MRI technique has recently shown that pH homeostasis is also an important indicator of kidney functionality. However, there is still a need for methods that can provide more than one type of information following the injection of a single contrast agent for the characterization of renal function. Herein we propose, for the first time, dynamic CEST acquisition following iopamidol injection to quantify renal function by assessing both perfusion and pH homeostasis. The aim of this study is to assess renal functionality in a murine unilateral ischemia–reperfusion injury model at two time points (3 and 7 days) after acute kidney injury. The renal‐perfusion estimates measured with iopamidol were compared with those obtained with a gadolinium‐based agent, via a dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)‐MRI approach, to validate the proposed method. Compared with the contralateral kidneys, the clamped ones showed a significant decrease in renal perfusion, as measured using the DCE‐MRI approach, which is consistent with reduced filtration capability. Dynamic CEST‐MRI findings provided similar results, indicating that the clamped kidneys displayed significantly reduced renal filtration that persisted up to 7 days after the damage. In addition, CEST‐MRI pH imaging showed that the clamped kidneys displayed significantly increased pH values, reflecting the disturbance to pH homeostasis. Our results demonstrate that a single CEST‐MRI contrast agent can provide multiple types of information related to renal function and can discern healthy kidneys from pathological ones by combining perfusion measurements with renal pH mapping.

MRI of renal oxygenation and function after normothermic ischemia-reperfusion injury

The in vivo assessment of renal damage after ischemia-reperfusion injury, such as in sepsis, hypovolemic shock or after transplantation, is a major challenge. This injury often results in temporary or permanent nonfunction. In order to improve the clinical outcome of the kidneys, novel therapies are currently being developed that limit renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, to fully address their therapeutic potential, noninvasive imaging methods are required which allow the in vivo visualization of different renal compartments and the evaluation of kidney function. In this study, MRI was applied to study kidney oxygenation and function in a murine model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury at 7 T. During ischemia, there was a strongly decreased oxygenation, as measured using blood oxygen level-dependent MRI, compared with the contralateral control, which persisted after reperfusion. Moreover, it was possible to visualize differences in oxygenation between the different functional regions of the injured kidney. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI revealed a significantly reduced renal function, comprising perfusion and filtration, at 24 h after reperfusion. In conclusion, MRI is suitable for the noninvasive evaluation of renal oxygenation and function. Blood oxygen level-dependent or dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI may allow the early detection of renal pathology in patients with ischemia-reperfusion injury, such as in sepsis, hypovolemic shock or after transplantation, and consequently may lead to an earlier intervention or change of therapy to minimize kidney damage.     

Dual‐frequency irradiation CEST‐MRI of endogenous bulk mobile proteins

A novel MRI contrast is proposed which enables the selective detection of endogenous bulk mobile proteins in vivo. Such a non‐invasive imaging technique may be of particular interest for many diseases associated with pathological alterations of protein expression, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Specificity to mobile proteins was achieved by the selective measurement of intramolecular spin diffusion and the removal of semi‐solid macromolecular signal components by a correction procedure. For this purpose, the approach of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) was extended to a radiofrequency (RF) irradiation scheme at two different frequency offsets (dualCEST). Using protein model solutions, it was demonstrated that the dualCEST technique allows the calculation of an image contrast which is exclusively sensitive to changes in concentration, molecular size and the folding state of mobile proteins. With respect to application in humans, dualCEST overcomes the selectivity limitations at relatively low magnetic field strengths, and thus enables examinations on clinical MR scanners. The feasibility of dualCEST examinations in humans was verified by a proof‐of‐principle examination of a brain tumor patient at 3 T. With its specificity for the mobile fraction of the proteome, its comparable sensitivity to conventional water proton MRI and its applicability to clinical MR scanners, this technique represents a further step towards the non‐invasive imaging of proteomic changes in humans.     

Monitoring dynamic alterations in calcium homeostasis by T1‐mapping manganese‐enhanced MRI (MEMRI) in the early stage of small intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury

Manganese‐enhanced MRI studies have proven to be useful in monitoring physiological activities associated with calcium ions (Ca²⁺) due to the paramagnetic property of the manganese ion (Mn²⁺), which makes it an excellent probe of Ca²⁺. In this study, we developed a method in which a Mn²⁺‐enhanced T₁‐map MRI could enable the monitoring of Ca²⁺ influx during the early stages of intestinal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. The Mn²⁺ infusion protocol was optimized by obtaining dose‐dependent and time‐course wash‐out curves using a Mn²⁺‐enhanced T₁‐map MRI of rabbit abdomens following an intravenous infusion of 50 mmol/l MnCl₂ (5–10 nmol/g body weight (BW)). In the rabbit model of intestinal I/R injury, T₁ values were derived from the T₁ maps in the intestinal wall region and revealed a relationship between the dose of the infused MnCl₂ and the intestinal wall relaxation time. Significant Mn²⁺ clearance was also observed over time in control animals after the infusion of Mn²⁺ at a dose of 10 nmol/g BW. This technique was also shown to be sensitive enough to monitor variations in calcium ion homeostasis in vivo after small intestinal I/R injury. The T₁ values of the intestinal I/R group were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that of the control group at 5, 10, and 15 min after Mn²⁺ infusion. Our data suggest that MnCl₂ has the potential to be an MRI contrast agent that can be effectively used to monitor changes in intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis during the early stages of intestinal I/R injury.

Diffusion tensor imaging of renal ischemia reperfusion injury in an experimental model

Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute renal failure. It occurs in various clinical settings such as renal transplantation, shock and vascular surgery. Serum creatinine level has been used as an index for estimating the degree of renal functional loss in renal IRI. However, it only evaluates the global renal function. In this study, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to characterize renal IRI in an experimental rat model. Spin‐echo echo‐planar DTI with b‐value of 300 s/mm² and 6 diffusion gradient directions was performed at 7 T in 8 Sprague‐Dawley (SD) with 60‐min unilateral renal IRI and 8 normal SD rats. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), directional diffusivities and fractional anisotropy (FA) were measured at the acute stage of IRI. The IR‐injured animals were also examined by diffusion‐weighted imaging with 7 b‐values up to 1000 s/mm² to estimate true diffusion coefficient (D_true) and perfusion fraction (P_fraction) using a bi‐compartmental model. ADC of injured renal cortex (1.69 ± 0.24 × 10^?3 mm²/s) was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than that of contralateral intact cortex (2.03 ± 0.35 × 10^?3 mm²/s). Meanwhile, both ADC and FA of IR‐injured medulla (1.37 ± 0.27 × 10^?3 mm²/s and 0.28 ± 0.04, respectively) were significantly less (p < 0.01) than those of contralateral intact medulla (2.01 ± 0.38 × 10^?3 mm²/s and 0.36 ± 0.04, respectively). The bi‐compartmental model analysis revealed the decrease in D_true and P_fraction in the IR‐injured kidneys. Kidney histology showed widespread cell swelling and erythrocyte congestion in both cortex and medulla, and cell necrosis/apoptosis and cast formation in medulla. These experimental findings demonstrated that DTI can probe both structural and functional information of kidneys following renal IRI. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Relaxation‐compensated CEST‐MRI at 7 T for mapping of creatine content and pH – preliminary application in human muscle tissue in vivo

The small biomolecule creatine is involved in energy metabolism. Mapping of the total creatine (mostly PCr and Cr) in vivo has been done with chemical shift imaging. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) allows an alternative detection of creatine via water MRI. Living tissue exhibits CEST effects from different small metabolites, including creatine, with four exchanging protons of its guanidinium group resonating about 2 ppm from the water peak and hence contributing to the amine proton CEST peak. The intermediate exchange rate (≈ 1000 Hz) of the guanidinium protons requires high RF saturation amplitude B₁. However, strong B₁ fields also label semi‐solid magnetization transfer (MT) effects originating from immobile protons with broad linewidths (~kHz) in the tissue. Recently, it was shown that endogenous CEST contrasts are strongly affected by the MT background as well as by T₁ relaxation of the water protons. We show that this influence can be corrected in the acquired CEST data by an inverse metric that yields the apparent exchange‐dependent relaxation (AREX). AREX has some useful linearity features that enable preparation of both concentration, and – by using the AREX‐ratio of two RF irradiation amplitudes B₁ – purely exchange‐rate‐weighted CEST contrasts. These two methods could be verified in phantom experiments with different concentration and pH values, but also varying water relaxation properties. Finally, results from a preliminary application to in vivo CEST imaging data of the human calf muscle before and after exercise are presented. The creatine concentration increases during exercise as expected and as confirmed by ³¹P NMR spectroscopic imaging. However, the estimated concentrations obtained by our method were higher than the literature values: to . The CEST‐based pH method shows a pH decrease during exercise, whereas a slight increase was observed by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Xanthoangelol alleviates cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury accounts to be a prime cause of neurological deficit following stroke. This study aimed to explore the neuro-protective effects of Xanthoangelol (XAG) on I/R-induced injury in both in vivo and in vitro models. Our data demonstrated that XAG can shrink infarct size and brain edema in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In addition, XAG was capable of alleviating the neurological deficit in rats that have undergone MCAO procedure. Meanwhile, antiapoptotic activities of XAG against I/R-induced neuronal injury were evidenced and further illustrated that XAG elicits antiapoptotic activities by suppressing excessive oxidative stress via nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 activation. Overall, our study revealed that XAG displayed the potential to be utilized as a neuroprotective agent against I/R-induced neurological injury.     

CEST MRI of sepsis‐induced acute kidney injury

Sepsis‐induced acute kidney injury (SAKI) is a major complication of kidney disease associated with increased mortality and faster progression. Therefore, the development of imaging biomarkers to detect septic AKI is of great clinical interest. In this study, we aimed to characterize the endogenous chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI contrast in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced SAKI mouse model and to investigate the use of CEST MRI for detecting such injury. We used a SAKI mouse model that was generated by i.p. injection of 10 mg/kg LPS. The resulting kidney injury was confirmed by the elevation of serum creatinine and histology. MRI assessments were performed 24 h after LPS injection, including CEST MRI at different B₁ strengths (1, 1.8 and 3 μT), T₁ mapping, T₂ mapping and conventional magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) MRI. The CEST MRI results were analyzed using Z‐spectra, in which the normalized water signal saturation (S_sat/S₀) is measured as a function of saturation frequency. Substantial decreases in CEST contrast were observed at both 3.5 and ? 3.5 ppm frequency offset from water at all B₁ powers, with the most significant difference obtained at a B₁ of 1.8 μT. The average S_sat/S₀ differences between injured and normal kidneys were 0.07 (0.55 ± 0.04 versus 0.62 ± 0.04, P = 0.0028) and 0.07 (0.50 ± 0.04 versus 0.57 ± 0.03, P = 0.0008) for 3.5 and ? 3.5 ppm, respectively. In contrast, the T₁ and T₂ relaxation times and MTC contrast in the injured kidneys did not show a significant change compared with the normal control. Our results showed that CEST MRI is more sensitive to the pathological changes in injured kidneys than the changes in T₁, T₂ and MTC effect, indicating its potential clinical utility for molecular imaging of renal diseases.

Adenosine receptors and renal ischaemia reperfusion injury

One of the frequent clinical complications that results in billions of dollars in healthcare costs annually in the United States is acute kidney injury (AKI). Ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury is a major cause AKI. Unfortunately, no effective treatment or preventive measure for AKI exists. With increased surgical complexity coupled with increasing number of elderly, the incidence of AKI is becoming more frequent. Adenosine is a metabolic breakdown product of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and contributes to the regulation of multiple physiological events. Extracellular adenosine activates four subtypes of adenosine receptors (AR) including A₁AR, A_2AAR, A_2BAR and A₃AR. In the kidney, adenosine regulates glomerular filtration rate, vascular tone, renin release and is an integrative part of tubular glomerular feedback signal to the afferent arterioles. In addition, each AR subtype powerfully modulates renal IR injury. The A₁AR activation protects against ischaemic insult by reducing apoptosis, necrosis and inflammation. Activation of A_2AAR protects against renal injury by modulating leucocyte‐mediated inflammation as well as directly reducing renal tubular inflammation. Activation of A_2BAR acts via direct activation of renal parenchymal as well as renovascular receptors and is important in kidney preconditioning. Finally, activation of A₃AR exacerbates renal damage following renal IR injury while A₃AR antagonism attenuates renal damage following ischaemic insult. Latest body of research suggests that kidney AR modulation may be a promising approach to treat ischaemic AKI. This brief review focuses on the signalling pathways of adenosine in the kidney followed by the role for various AR modulations in protecting against ischaemic AKI.     

Quantitative pulsed CEST‐MRI using Ω‐plots

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) allows the indirect detection of dilute metabolites in living tissue via MRI of the tissue water signal. Selective radio frequency (RF) with amplitude B₁ is used to saturate the magnetization of protons of exchanging groups, which transfer the saturation to the abundant water pool. In a clinical setup, the saturation scheme is limited to a series of short pulses to follow regulation of the specific absorption rate (SAR). Pulsed saturation is difficult to describe theoretically, thus rendering quantitative CEST a challenging task. In this study, we propose a new analytical treatment of pulsed CEST by extending a former interleaved saturation–relaxation approach. Analytical integration of the continuous wave (cw) eigenvalue as a function of the RF pulse shape leads to a formula for pulsed CEST that has the same structure as that for cw CEST, but incorporates two form factors that are determined by the pulse shape. This enables analytical Z‐spectrum calculations and permits deeper insight into pulsed CEST. Furthermore, it extends Dixon's Ω‐plot method to the case of pulsed saturation, yielding separately, and independently, the exchange rate and the relative proton concentration. Consequently, knowledge of the form factors allows a direct comparison of the effect of the strength and B₁ dispersion of pulsed CEST experiments with the ideal case of cw saturation. The extended pulsed CEST quantification approach was verified using creatine phantoms measured on a 7 T whole‐body MR tomograph, and its range of validity was assessed by simulations.

Effects of ischemic preconditioning on the systemic and renal hemodynamic changes in renal ischemia reperfusion injury

Background: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) could protect against subsequent renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the mechanisms underlying IPC remain far from complete. Hence, we explored the effects of IPC on the renal and systemic hemodynamic changes, renal function and morphology, as well the involvement of endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase (eNOS/iNOS), and nitric oxide (NO). Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups after right-side nephrectomy: Sham group (surgery without vascular clamping); IRI group (the left renal artery was clamped for 45 min); IPC group (pretreated with 15 min of ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion); IPC + vehicle group (administrated with 0.9% saline 5 min before IPC); and IPC + N^G-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) group (pretreated with L-NAME 5 min prior to IPC). The renal and systemic hemodynamic parameters, renal function and morphology, as well as eNOS, iNOS, and NO expression levels in the kidneys were measured at the indicated time points after reperfusion. Results: IPC rats exhibited significant improvements in renal function, morphology, and renal artery blood flow (RABF), without obvious influence on the systemic hemodynamics and renal vein blood flow. Increased eNOS, iNOS, and NO expression levels were detected in the kidneys of IPC rats 24 h after reperfusion. Furthermore, the beneficial effects were fully abolished by the administration of L-NAME. Conclusions: The results suggest that IPC contributes to early restoration of RABF, probably through eNOS/iNOS-mediated NO production, thereby alleviating the renal dysfunction and histological damage caused by IRI.
