Syndecan-1-mediated loading of VEGF-A into small extracellular vesicles facilitates peritubular capillary repair during AKI-to-CKD transition
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe clinical event with a high risk of transitioning to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Persistent hypoxia resulting from peritubular capillaries (PTCs) loss is a key factor driving this chronic transition. However, the mechanisms governing PTCs injury and repair, particularly under different AKI severity, remain unclear. This study demonstrates that small extracellular vesicle (sEV) carried VEGF-A as an essential regulator of PTCs repair and decreased as the severity of tubular injury increased. We found that VEGF-A was sorted into sEV via syndecan-1 (SDC-1), attaching to the heparan sulfate chain in moderate AKI. SDC-1 knockdown in renal tubules significantly reduced VEGF-A packaging into EVs and aggravated PTCs rarefaction and renal fibrosis. Overexpression of SDC-1 promoted the production of VEGF-A+ sEV and their proliferative effects on endothelial cells. These findings demonstrate that SDC-1 contributes to the secretion of VEGF-A+ sEV from moderately injured tubules, facilitating PTCs repair after AKI.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
