项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Progressive kidney disease is characterized by the accumulation of fibrotic mediators in the kidney. Glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, pyelonephritis, and renovascular disease together account for over 75% of patients requiring renal transplants. In these conditions it is chronic progressive renal fibrosis with associated loss of functioning nephrons that results in irreversible renal injury. While the renin angiotensin system (RAS) has traditionally been viewed as a circulating axis, evidence is accumulating that an active intrarenal RAS plays an important role in chronic kidney disease and fibrosis. Based on recent evidence reported from our lab that mast cells express and release active renin, we hypothesize that renin released from mast cells infiltrating the kidney triggers intra-renal RAS and local angiotensin (ANG II) formation. The overall objective of this proposal is addressing the important issue of whether infiltrating mast cells and mast-cell renin play a significant role in ischemic organ damage and fibrosis. Using a model of progressive renal fibrosis (unilateral ureteral obstruction (DUO)) we will study the role of mast cell renin and local ANG II production in this process as well as investigate the role of adenosine in regulating mast cell renin gene expression. Our preliminary results demonstrate: 1. Human and rodent kidney mast cells express active renin. 2. Mast cell deficient mice do not develop renal fibrosis with UUO 3. Stabilizing mast cells in rat UUO kidney prevents renal fibrosis. 4. Inhibiting the renin released from mast cells reduces vasoconstriction in isolated and perfused kidney. 5. Stimulating the adenosine A2b receptor increases mast cell renin gene expression. In Specific Aim I, we will characterize the molecular identity of mast cell renin and examine the effects of mast cell renin and local ANG II formation on fibrosis and vasoconstriction in UUO. These experiments will be done with mast cells isolated from human and rodent kidney and with HMC-1 cells, a cultured cell model of human mast cells. The UUO animal studies will be carried out in rat and mast cell- deficient c-Kit knockout mice and their congenic controls. Specific Aim II will examine regulation of mast cell renin expression, synthesis, and release by adenosine. These experiments will be done with isolated human kidney mast cells and with HMC-1 cells. If our hypothesis is proven correct then we will have identified a novel therapeutic target (mast cell renin) for ameliorating renal function in chronic kidney disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：进行性肾脏疾病的特征是肾脏中纤维化介质的积累。肾小球肾炎，糖尿病性肾病，肾盂肾炎和肾血管疾病共同占需要肾脏移植的患者的75％以上。在这种情况下，慢性进行性肾纤维化以及功能性肾脏的相关损失导致不可逆的肾脏损伤。虽然传统上将肾素血管紧张素系统（RAS）视为循环轴，但有证据表明活跃的肾内RAS在慢性肾脏疾病和纤维化中起着重要作用。根据我们实验室的最新证据，肥大细胞表达并释放活性肾素，我们假设肾素是从浸入肾脏触发肾脏内Ras和局部血管紧张素（ANG II）形成的肥大细胞中释放出来的。该提案的总体目的是解决浸润肥大细胞和肥大细胞肾素是否在缺血器官损伤和纤维化中起重要作用的重要问题。使用进行性肾纤维化的模型（单侧输尿管阻塞（DUO）），我们将研究肥大细胞肾素和局部ANG II产生在此过程中的作用，并研究腺苷在调节肥大细胞肾素基因表达中的作用。我们的初步结果证明：1。人和啮齿动物肾肥大细胞表达活跃的肾素。 2。肥大细胞不足的小鼠没有使用UUO 3出现肾纤维化。3。稳定大鼠UUO肾脏中的肥大细胞可防止肾纤维化。 4。抑制从肥大细胞释放的肾素会减少分离和灌注肾脏中的血管收缩。 5。刺激腺苷A2b受体增加肥大细胞肾素基因的表达。在特定的目标I中，我们将表征肥大细胞肾素的分子认同，并检查肥大细胞肾素和局部ANG II形成对UUO纤维化和血管收缩的影响。这些实验将使用从人和啮齿动物肾脏分离的肥大细胞以及HMC-1细胞（人类肥大细胞的培养细胞模型）。 UUO动物研究将在大鼠和肥大细胞缺乏的C-KIT敲除小鼠及其先天控制中进行。具体目标II将检查肥大细胞肾素表达，合成和腺苷释放的调节。这些实验将使用分离的人类肾脏肥大细胞和HMC-1细胞进行。如果我们的假设被证明是正确的，那么我们将确定一个新的治疗靶标（肥大细胞肾素），以改善慢性肾脏疾病中的肾功能。
