Kidney function (BUN, glomerular filtration rate), expression of CCL7 receptors, and kidney infiltration by inflammatory cells (F4/80+ macrophages, MPO+ neutrophils, and B220+ B-cells) were assessed in wt and Ccl7-/- mice submitted to 3 different models of AKI or kidney fibrosis (uni/bilateral ischemia/reperfusion injury (u/bIRI) and rhabdomyolysis).Results: Toxin exposure of MCT cells, as well as metabolic reprogramming recapitulating AKI changes, led to a dramatic up-regulation of CCL7. In vivo, kidney expression of Ccl7 and Ccl2 significantly increased after AKI and remained increased beyond the acute phase (30 days after uIRI). The expression of the CCL7 receptors was heterogeneous and varied with time. Kidney function, expression of CCL7 receptors and Ccl2, and the number of inflammatory cells within kidneys were similar in wt and Ccl7-/- mice at baseline and at day 2 after AKI.

Since leptin deficiency reduces blood pressure (BP) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) lowers BP and is kidney protective, we attempted to develop a more robust DN model by introducing eNOS deficiency in BTBR ob/ob mice.Methods: Six experimental groups included littermate male and female BTBR ob/ob or wild-type for ob (control) as well as wild-type (WT), heterozygote (HET), or knockout (KO) for eNOS. Systolic BP (by automated tail-cuff) and GFR (by FITC-sinistrin plasma kinetics) were determined in awake mice at 27-30 weeks of age, followed by molecular and histological kidney analyses.Results: Male and female ob/ob WT presented hyperglycemia and larger body and kidney weight, GFR, glomerular injury, and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) despite modestly lower BP versus control WT.

While those variants are highly transmissible and can evade vaccine protection, population studies suggested that outcomes from infection with Omicron variants are better compared with Delta. Data regarding prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients infected with Omicron versus Delta variants, however, are scarce.Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes all patients with end-stage kidney disease treated with MHD in Meir Medical Center, Kfar-Saba, Israel, that were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection between June 2021 and May 2022.Results: Twenty-six subjects were diagnosed with the Delta variant and 71 with Omicron. Despite comparable age between groups and higher mean vaccine doses prior to the infection among the Omicron group (p < 0.001), SARS-CoV-2 infection severity was significantly worse among MHD infected with the Delta variant: 50% developed severe or critical COVID-19 versus 5% in the Omicron group (p < 0.001). Over half of MHD infected with Omicron (57%) were asymptomatic during their illness. The 30-day mortality rate for the whole cohort was 5.2%.

We hypothesized that different hits (viral infection and genetic variants) may be involved in the development of a familial CG here described. We performed renal and etiological routine evaluation, PVB19 serology, genetic tests including whole-exome analysis and dosage of serum thrombomodulin (THBD) in two siblings with CG, one healthy sister, and their mother. The THBD gene variant p.A43T in homozygosity was identified in the proband and her affected brother, both with CG. The same mutation was identified in their mother in heterozygosity. THBD levels were elevated in the serum of both affected siblings. They also had PVB19 positive serology and the G1 high-risk apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) alleles in homozygosity. Their healthy sister had no PVB19-positive serology and no THBD nor APOL1 gene variants. In this case of familial CG, THBD, and APOL1 gene variants, and a previous PVB19 infection may be associated with the development of CG in a multihit process.

The identification of BA receptors in organs beyond the enterohepatic system, such as the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), has initiated inquiries into their organ-specific functions. Among these organs, the kidney prominently expresses FXR.Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of various BA species identified in kidneys and delves into the roles of renal apical and basolateral BA transporters. Furthermore, we explore changes in BAs and their potential implications for various renal diseases, particularly chronic kidney disease. Lastly, we center our discussion on FXR, a key BA receptor in the kidney and a potential therapeutic target for renal diseases, providing current insights into the protective mechanisms associated with FXR agonist treatments.Key messages: Despite the relatively low concentrations of BAs in the kidney, their presence is noteworthy, with rodents and humans exhibiting distinct renal BA compositions. Renal BA transporters efficiently facilitate either reabsorption into systemic circulation or excretion into the urine. However, adaptive changes in BA transporters are evident during cholestasis. Various renal diseases are accompanied by alterations in BA concentrations and FXR expression.
