The Inflammatory Cytokines TWEAK and TNFα Reduce Renal Klotho Expression through NFκB

Journal of the …, 2011

Proinflammatory cytokines contribute to renal injury, but the downstream effectors within kidney cells are not well understood. One candidate effector is Klotho, a protein expressed by renal cells that has antiaging properties; Klotho-deficient mice have an accelerated aging-like phenotype, including vascular injury and renal injury. Whether proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), modulate Klotho is unknown. In mice, exogenous administration of TWEAK decreased expression of Klotho in the kidney. In the setting of acute kidney injury induced by folic acid, the blockade or absence of TWEAK abrogated the injury-related decrease in renal and plasma Klotho levels. TWEAK, TNF␣, and siRNA-mediated knockdown of IB␣ all activated NFB and reduced Klotho expression in the MCT tubular cell line. Furthermore, inhibition of NFB with parthenolide prevented TWEAK-or TNF␣-induced downregulation of Klotho. Inhibition of histone deacetylase reversed TWEAKinduced downregulation of Klotho, and chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that TWEAK promotes RelA binding to the Klotho promoter, inducing its deacetylation. In conclusion, inflammatory cytokines, such as TWEAK and TNF␣, downregulate Klotho expression through an NFB-dependent mechanism. These results may partially explain the relationship between inflammation and diseases characterized by accelerated aging of organs, including CKD.

Chronic Inflammation Potentiates Kidney Aging

Seminars in Nephrology, 2009

Chronic inflammation, characterized by increased serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-␣, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and the presence of inflammatory-related diseases, are seen commonly in aging. Both the dysregulation of immune cells and phenotypic changes in parenchymal cells may contribute to chronic inflammation in aging. Moreover, senescent cells are an important source of inflammatory factors. Oxidative stress, via activation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase and induction of cell senescence, is likely to play a critical role in inflammation. Endoplasmic reticulum stress also may be present in aging and be involved in inflammation. Advanced glycation end products also are important contributors to inflammation in aging. Because the kidney is a major site for the excretion, and perhaps the degradation, of advanced glycation end products and small inflammatory molecules, reduced renal function in aging may promote oxidative stress and inflammation. Chronic inflammation in turn may potentiate the initiation and progression of lesions in the aging kidney. Semin Nephrol 29:555-568

Inflammation and Premature Ageing in Chronic Kidney Disease

Toxins, 2020

Persistent low-grade inflammation and premature ageing are hallmarks of the uremic phenotype and contribute to impaired health status, reduced quality of life, and premature mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Because there is a huge global burden of disease due to CKD, treatment strategies targeting inflammation and premature ageing in CKD are of particular interest. Several distinct features of the uremic phenotype may represent potential treatment options to attenuate the risk of progression and poor outcome in CKD. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-kelch-like erythroid cell-derived protein with CNC homology [ECH]-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) signaling pathway, the endocrine phosphate-fibroblast growth factor-23-klotho axis, increased cellular senescence, and impaired mitochondrial biogenesis are currently the most promising candidates, and different pharmaceutical compounds are already under evaluation. If studies in humans show beneficial effects, carefully phenotyped patients with CKD can benefit from them.

Premature Aging in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Outcome of Persistent Inflammation beyond the Bounds

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021

Over the last hundred years, life expectancy in developed countries has increased because of healthier living habits and the treatment of chronic pathologies causing premature aging. Aging is an inexorable, time-dependent, multifactorial process characterized by a series of progressive and irreversible physiological changes associated with loss of functional, psychological, and social capabilities. Numerous factors, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular senescence, and an irreversible geriatric syndrome known as frailty, contribute to human body deterioration in aging. The speed of aging may differ between individuals depending on the presence or absence of multiple factors (genetic and/or environment) and the subsequent misbalance of homeostasis, together with the increase of frailty, which also plays a key role in developing chronic diseases. In addition, pathological circumstances have been reported to precipitate or accelerate the aging process. This review invest...

Klotho, phosphate and inflammation/ageing in chronic kidney disease

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2012

Evidence is emerging for the inflammatory nature of many ageing-associated diseases, including atherosclerosis, vascular calcification, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), among others. Ageing itself results in chronic low-grade inflammation that promotes end-organ damage. Inflammatory organ damage, in turn, may contribute to inflammation. Recent research has identified the kidneysecreted hormone Klotho as a central player at the ageinginflammation interface. Thus, systemic or local renal inflammation decreases kidney Klotho expression. Klotho down-regulation may be induced by specific cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α or TWEAK through the canonical activation of the inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and, specifically RelA. In addition, inflammatory cytokines lead to the epigenetic inactivation of Klotho transcription. Klotho itself has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the canonical NFκB component RelA is one of its targets. Klotho is a key regulator of phosphate balance and a role of phosphate in ageing has been shown. However, the potential relationship between phosphate and inflammation requires further clarification. A correct understanding of these interactions may lead to the design of novel therapeutic approaches to CKD and CKD-related inflammatory and ageing features as well as to inflammation/ageing in general.

Involvement of NF-κBIZ and related cytokines in age-associated renal fibrosis

Oncotarget, 2017

Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to age-related nephropathic changes, including renal fibrosis. In this study, various experimental paradigms were designed to delineate the role played by NF-κBIZ (also known as IκBζ) in age-associated renal fibrosis. Analyses based on RNA-sequencing findings obtained by next generation sequencing (NGS) revealed the upregulations of NF-κBIZ and of IL-6 and MCP-1 (both known to be regulated by NF-κBIZ) during aging. The up-regulation of NF-κBIZ in aged rat kidneys coincided with increased macrophage infiltration. In LPS-treated macrophages, oxidative stress was found to play a pivotal role in NF-κBIZ expression, suggesting age-related oxidative stress is associated with NF-κBIZ activation. Furthermore, these in vitro findings were confirmed in LPS-treated old rats, which showed higher levels of oxidative stress and NF-κBIZ in kidneys than LPS-treated young rats. Additional in vitro experiments using macrophages and kidney fibroblasts demons...

Efectos de TWEAK dependientes de NF-kB en la célula tubular renal

2012

There are no pathophysiolgical therapeutic approaches to acute kidney injury (AKI) and the mortality remains high. In addition chronic kidney disease (CKD) predisposes to AKI and AKI contributes to progression of CKD. Recently a transcriptomics approach unveiled a relationship between AKI, inflammation and the regulation of ageing. A transcriptomics analysis of experimental AKI revealed increased kidney expression of Fn14 and transmembrane chemokine CXCL16, as well as a decreased expression of the kidney-secreted anti-ageing hormone Klotho. Fn14 is the receptor for tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), a member of the TNF superfamily. In AKI kidneys there was a positive correlation between Fn14 and CXCL16 mRNA expression and an inverse correlation between Fn14 and Klotho mRNA. Tubular cells were the site of Fn14, CXCL16 and Klotho expression in vivo. Research on the relationships between these three molecules disclosed that TWEAK activation of Fn14 promoted inflammation through secretion of chemokines such as CXL16 in tubular cells in culture and in vivo. Furthermore, TWEAK activation of Fn14 decreased expression of Klotho mRNA and protein in culture and in vivo. Interestingly, both TWEAK activation of CXCL16 mRNA transcription and suppression of Klotho mRNA transcription were mediated by the NFB transcription factor. In conclusion, TWEAK engagement of Fn14 is a central event promoting NFB-mediated activation of inflammation pathways and suppression of anti-inflammatory/anti-ageing pathways. This information may influence future therapeutic approaches to AKI and inflamm-aging.

NF B Promotes Inflammation, Coagulation, and Fibrosis in the Aging Glomerulus

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2010

The peak prevalence of ESRD from glomerulosclerosis occurs at 70 to 79 years. To understand why old glomeruli are prone to failure, we analyzed the Fischer 344 rat model of aging under ad libitum-fed (rapid aging) and calorie-restricted (slowed aging) conditions. All glomerular cells contained genes whose expression changed "linearly" during adult life from 2 to 24 months: mesangial cells (e.g., MMP9), endothelial cells (e.g., ICAM and VCAM), parietal epithelial cells (e.g., ceruloplasmin), and podocytes (e.g., nephrin and prepronociceptin). Patterns of aging glomerular gene expression closely resembled atherosclerosis, including activation of endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and macrophages, as well as proinflammatory pathways related to cell adhesion, chemotaxis, blood coagulation, oxidoreductases, matrix metalloproteinases, and TGF-␤ activation. We used a nonbiased data-mining approach to identify NFB as the likely transcriptional regulator of these events. We confirmed NFB activation by two independent methods: translocation of NFB p50 to glomerular nuclei and ChIP assays demonstrating NFB p50 binding to the B motif of target genes in old versus young glomeruli. These data suggest that old glomeruli exhibit NFB-associated up-regulation of a proinflammatory, procoagulable, and profibrotic phenotype compared with young glomeruli; these distinctions could explain their enhanced susceptibility to failure. Furthermore, these results provide a potential mechanistic explanation for the close relationship between ESRD and atherosclerotic organ failure as two parallel arms of age-associated NFB-driven processes.

Chronic Inflammation in Chronic Kidney Disease Progression: Role of Nrf2

Kidney International Reports, 2021

Despite recent advances in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), morbidity and mortality rates in these patients remain high. Although pressure-mediated injury is a well-recognized mechanism of disease progression in CKD, emerging data indicate that an intermediate phenotype involving chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, senescence, and mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in the etiology, progression, and pathophysiology of CKD. A variety of factors promote chronic inflammation in CKD, including oxidative stress and the adoption of a proinflammatory phenotype by resident kidney cells. Regulation of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors through NF-kB-and nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf2)-mediated gene transcription, respectively, plays a critical role in the glomerular and tubular cell response to kidney injury. Chronic inflammation contributes to the decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in CKD. Whereas the role of chronic inflammation in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been wellelucidated, there is now substantial evidence indicating unresolved inflammatory processes lead to fibrosis and eventual end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in several other diseases, such as Alport syndrome, autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). In this review, we aim to clarify the mechanisms of chronic inflammation in the pathophysiology and disease progression across the spectrum of kidney diseases, with a focus on Nrf2.
