Owing to its effects on Na + balance, BP is significantly affected by alterations in NCC activity. Several factors have been reported to influence the expression and activity of NCC. One critical factor is NCC phosphorylation/dephosphorylation that occurs at key serine-threonine amino acid residues of the protein. Phosphorylation, which results in increased NCC activity, is mediated by the with no lysine [K] (WNK)-SPS-related proline alanine rich kinase (SPAK)/OSR1 kinases. NCC activation stimulates reabsorption of Na + , increasing extracellular fluid volume and hence BP. On the other hand, proteasomal degradation of WNK kinases after ubiquitination by the Cullin 3-Kelch-like 3 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and dephosphorylation pathways oppose WNK-SPAK/OSR1-mediated NCC activation. Components of the Cullin 3/Kelch-like 3-WNK-SPAK/OSR1 regulatory pathway may be targets for novel antihypertensive drugs. In this review, we outline the impact of these regulators on the activity of NCC and the consequent effect on BP.</p>","PeriodicalId":17882,"journal":{"name":"Kidney360","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11441819/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141909935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The kidney in LN is characterized by a significant immune infiltrate and proinflammatory cytokine milieu that affects intrinsic renal cells and is, in part, responsible for the tissue damage observed in LN. It is now increasingly appreciated that LN is not due to unidirectional immune cell activation with subsequent kidney damage. Rather, the kidney microenvironment influences the recruitment, survival, differentiation, and activation of immune cells, which, in turn, modify kidney cell function. This review covers how the biochemical environment of the kidney ( i.e ., low oxygen tension and hypertonicity) and unique kidney cell types affect the intrarenal immune cells in LN. The pathways used by intrinsic renal cells to interact with immune cells, such as antigen presentation and cytokine production, are discussed in detail. An understanding of these mechanisms can lead to the design of more kidney-targeted treatments and the avoidance of systemic immunosuppressive effects and may represent the next frontier of LN therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":17882,"journal":{"name":"Kidney360","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11441818/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141909937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
