项目摘要

Acute kidney disease (AKD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are interconnected, pathological syndromes that are quite common in the USA. CKD affects greater than 10% of the world’s population and is an increasing global health burden. The prevalence of CKD in the USA is ~12-14%. Diabetes and hypertension cause ~ two-thirds of CKD cases, while glomerulonephritis, nephrolithiasis, polycystic kidney disease, and toxicants are less common causes. Both AKD and CKD are associated with major cardiovascular complications. Thus, both new treatments for CKD and a deeper understanding of the genesis of CKD are greatly needed. Vitamin A (all-trans retinol, VA), a micronutrient and essential vitamin necessary for life, can only be obtained from our diets. Vitamin A (retinol) is required for kidney development, but much less is known about the functions of this important micronutrient, vitamin A, in the adult kidney. Vitamin A’s metabolites (e.g. retinoic acid (RA)) primarily act by binding to three distinct retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and modifying transcription. In R01 DK113088, a new R01 grant funded in December, 2017, we hypothesized that RARβ played a protective role against CKD and that a RARβ2 selective agonist could inhibit the development of CKD associated with obesity. We have proved these hypotheses and we will build on our exciting results and expand our research into new, but complementary directions. Our hypothesis for Aim (1) is that the RARβ2 selective agonist, AC261066, will be effective in reducing the pathological sequelae after more than one type of kidney injury, not just lipotoxicity-related injury associated with obesity-induced chronic kidney disease. For Aim (2), we hypothesize that vitamin A, via each retinoic acid receptor, including RARγ, which we are just beginning to study, has key actions in multiple, different cell types in the adult kidney and that mice deficient in RARs in specific kidney cells may be models of various human kidney diseases. We propose two specific aims: Specific Aim (1): Because we have evidence that a selective RARβ2 agonist has a therapeutic impact on the development of CKD in one mouse model, we propose to test the efficacy of this RARβ2 agonist in two additional CKD models, potentially creating a rationale to use AC261066 as a lead compound for treatment of CKD and to define its gene targets. Specific Aim (2): Our genetic approach to study the micronutrient vitamin A has been fruitful and has generated several potentially useful models of various types of CKD. Furthermore, our results suggest that the interaction of the kidney with other organ systems varies in different mouse models. Thus, we propose to evaluate the actions of the retinoic acid receptors α, β, and γ in specific cell types in the kidney. We will, through this research, understand the pathologies of CKDs in more depth, elucidate how these pathologies relate to nutrition and aberrant vitamin A signaling, discover new, useful models of CKD, and advance the development of a novel therapeutic for CKD.

急性肾病（AKD）和慢性肾病（CKD）是相互关联的、病理性的慢性肾病（CKD）在美国非常常见，影响着世界上超过 10% 的人口。慢性肾病 (CKD) 在美国的患病率约为 12-14%。约三分之二的 CKD 病例由高血压引起，而肾小球肾炎、肾结石、多囊肾则由高血压引起 AKD 和 CKD 均与主要病因相关。因此，CKD 的新治疗方法和对 CKD 的更深入了解。 CKD 的发生非常需要维生素 A（全反式视黄醇，VA），一种微量营养素和必需维生素。生命必需的维生素A（视黄醇）只能从我们的饮食中获取。但人们对这种重要的微量营养素维生素 A 的功能知之甚少。成人肾脏的维生素 A 代谢物（例如视黄酸 (RA)）主要通过与三种不同的物质结合发挥作用。视黄酸受体 (RAR) 和修饰转录。在 2017 年 12 月资助的新 R01 赠款 R01 DK113088 中，我们发现 RARβ 发挥了对 CKD 的保护作用以及 RARβ2 选择性激动剂可以抑制 CKD 的发展我们已经证明了这些假设，并将以我们令人兴奋的结果为基础，将我们的研究扩展到新的但互补的方向。我们对 Aim (1) 的假设是 RARβ2。选择性激动剂AC261066将有效减少一种以上肾病后的病理后遗症损伤，而不仅仅是与肥胖引起的慢性肾病相关的脂毒性相关损伤。对于 Aim (2)，我们。通过每个视黄酸受体（包括我们刚刚开始研究的 RARγ）提高维生素 A，在成人肾脏中的多种不同细胞类型中具有关键作用，并且在特定肾脏中缺乏 RAR 的小鼠我们提出了两个特定目标：特定目标（1）：因为。我们有证据表明选择性 RARβ2 激动剂对 CKD 的发展具有治疗作用在一个小鼠模型中，我们建议测试这种 RARβ2 激动剂在另外两种 CKD 中的功效模型，可能为使用 AC261066 作为先导化合物治疗 CKD 和确定其基因目标 (2)：我们研究微量营养素维生素 A 的遗传方法。已经取得了丰硕的成果，并生成了多种潜在有用的各种类型 CKD 模型。此外，我们的结果表明肾脏与其他器官系统的相互作用在因此，我们建议评估视黄酸受体α、β和的作用。肾脏特定细胞类型中的 γ 我们将通过这项研究了解 CKD 的病理学。更深入地阐明这些病理学与营养和异常维生素 A 信号传导的关系，发现新的、有用的 CKD 模型，并推动 CKD 治疗小说的开发。
