Abstract
Urine-derived renal progenitor cells (UdRPCs) from healthy individuals have been identified as having the potential to repair kidney damage. However, it remains uncertain whether UdRPCs retain their functionality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. In this study, UdRPCs were isolated from healthy individuals and CKD patients. Notably, senescent cells were observed in the UdRPCs of CKD patients, which increase with the severity of CKD, hindering the repair of renal tissue damage and exacerbating the progression of CKD. This senescence phenotype is characterized by decreased proliferation, increased expression of kidney injury marker 1 (KIM-1), and an enhanced senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Transcriptomics analysis revealed a significant correlation between long intergenic non-coding RNA 01806 (LINC01806) and UdRPCs damage and senescence. LINC01806 activation modulates the expression of KIM-1 and senescence-related factors (p53, p21 and p16), promotes SASP secretion by stimulating the MAPK pathway, thereby inducing damage and senescence in UdRPCs. Mechanistically, the IRF8-RUNX1 complex binds to the promoter of LINC01806, promoting its expression in the nucleus. Our findings clarify the pathogenesis of CKD from a new perspective, and more importantly, provide new targets for drug screening and potential therapeutic interventions.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Pharmacology publishes original research findings, Commentaries and review articles related to the elucidation of cellular and tissue function(s) at the biochemical and molecular levels, the modification of cellular phenotype(s) by genetic, transcriptional/translational or drug/compound-induced modifications, as well as the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics and drugs, the latter including both small molecules and biologics.
The journal''s target audience includes scientists engaged in the identification and study of the mechanisms of action of xenobiotics, biologics and drugs and in the drug discovery and development process.
All areas of cellular biology and cellular, tissue/organ and whole animal pharmacology fall within the scope of the journal. Drug classes covered include anti-infectives, anti-inflammatory agents, chemotherapeutics, cardiovascular, endocrinological, immunological, metabolic, neurological and psychiatric drugs, as well as research on drug metabolism and kinetics. While medicinal chemistry is a topic of complimentary interest, manuscripts in this area must contain sufficient biological data to characterize pharmacologically the compounds reported. Submissions describing work focused predominately on chemical synthesis and molecular modeling will not be considered for review.
While particular emphasis is placed on reporting the results of molecular and biochemical studies, research involving the use of tissue and animal models of human pathophysiology and toxicology is of interest to the extent that it helps define drug mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy.
