DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rapid-onset disease with significant morbidity and mortality that affects up to 5% of long-term hospital patients. Most cases of AKI result from renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) or acute drug or toxicant exposure. The development of therapeutic strategies to treat AKI in humans has been largely unsuccessful and the mortality resulting from AKI has remained unchanged for several decades. Therefore, the development of more successful therapies necessitates the examination of novel targets. It has been demonstrated that renal proximal tubule cells exposed to acute oxidant injury, such as that found in acute I/R or toxicant exposure, exhibit serious mitochondrial dysfunction. It has been further demonstrated that the recovery of mitochondrial function in these cells is temporally related to recovery of cellular function, and that the recovery of mitochondrial function is temporally related to the expression of peroxisome-proliferator- receptor-3-coactivator-11 (PGC-11), the "master regulator" of mitochondrial biogenesis. Our lab has recently demonstrated that 5-HT2 receptor agonists stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis in vitro by increasing the expression of PGC-11. We first seek to examine the signaling pathway between 5-HT2 receptor activation and PGC-11 expression and to verify our in vitro data in an animal model. We then intend to test our hypothesis that 5-HT2 receptor agonists will induce mitochondrial biogenesis and promote recovery of kidney function after in an animal model of acute I/R injury. Specific Aims: 1) Elucidate the 5-HT2 signaling pathway of mitochondrial biogenesis. 2) Determine the 5-HT2 signaling pathway of renal mitochondrial biogenesis in mice. 3) Determine the effect of 5-HT2 agonists on the recovery of renal function following I/R injury. Methods: The first aim will be accomplished by using pharmacological inhibitors to signaling pathway enzymes proposed to be involved in the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis by 5-HT2 receptor agonists. The second aim will be accomplished by "knocking down" components of the elucidated signaling pathway in mice using siRNA and measuring mitochondrial biogenesis as a result of 5-HT2 receptor agonist treatment. The third aim will be performed by subjecting mice to a model of I/R acute kidney injury and treating them with 5-HT2 receptor agonists. These mice will be monitored for improvements in kidney function in the presence and absence of these agonists. Goal: To further understand the role and signaling pathway of 5-HT2 receptor agonists in stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and to probe their usefulness as novel therapeutics to treat acute kidney injury. Relevance to agency: Toxicant exposure is a significant culprit in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury; these toxicants may be intentionally administered, such as nephrotoxic chemotherapeutics, or unintentionally introduced, such as in the case of environmental heavy metal exposure. This work seeks to examine the usefulness of 5-HT2 receptor agonists in the treatment of this acute disease state.

描述（由申请人提供）：急性肾脏损伤（AKI）是一种快速发作的疾病，具有明显的发病率和死亡率，影响多达5％的长期医院患者。大多数AKI病例是由肾脏缺血/再灌注（I/R）或急性药物或毒性暴露引起的。在人类治疗AKI的治疗策略的发展基本上没有成功，AKI导致的死亡率一直保持不变数十年。因此，更成功的疗法的发展需要检查新靶标。已经证明，暴露于急性氧化剂损伤的肾近端小管细胞，例如在急性I/R或毒性暴露中发现的肾细胞表现出严重的线粒体功能障碍。已经进一步证明，这些细胞中线粒体功能的恢复在时间上与细胞功能的恢复有关，并且线粒体功能的恢复在时间上与过氧化物酶体 - 增生剂-3-互助器-11的表达相关（PGC（PGC） -11），线粒体生物发生的“主要调节剂”。我们的实验室最近证明，5-HT2受体激动剂通过增加PGC-11的表达在体外刺激线粒体生物发生。我们首先试图检查5-HT2受体激活和PGC-11表达之间的信号传导途径，并在动物模型中验证我们的体外数据。然后，我们打算检验我们的假设，即5-HT2受体激动剂将在急性I/R损伤的动物模型中诱导线粒体生物发生并促进肾功能的恢复。具体目的：1）阐明线粒体生物发生的5-HT2信号通路。 2）确定小鼠肾脏线粒体生物发生的5-HT2信号通路。 3）确定5-HT2激动剂对I/R损伤后肾功能恢复的影响。方法：第一个目的将通过使用药理抑制剂对信号通路酶来实现，该酶提议参与5-HT2受体激动剂刺激线粒体生物发生。第二个目标将通过使用siRNA的小鼠中阐明信号通路的“击倒”成分来实现，并通过5-HT2受体激动剂治疗而测量线粒体生物发生。第三个目标将通过使小鼠遭受I/R急性肾脏损伤的模型并用5-HT2受体激动剂治疗它们。在这些激动剂的存在和不存在的情况下，将监测这些小鼠以改善肾脏功能。目标：进一步了解5-HT2受体激动剂在刺激线粒体生物发生中的作用和信号传导途径，并探究其作为治疗急性肾损伤的新型治疗剂的有用性。与代理的相关性：毒物暴露是急性肾脏损伤发病机理的重要罪魁祸首。这些有毒物质可能是有意的，例如肾毒性化学治疗药或无意间引入的，例如在环境重金属暴露的情况下。这项工作旨在检查5-HT2受体激动剂在治疗这种急性疾病状态的有用性。
