Aristolochic acid I promotes renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis by activating the mannan-binding lectin serine protease 1-complement system
Aristolochic acid I (AAI) activates the complement system, triggering inflammation and renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). This study investigated the role of mannan-binding lectin serine protease 1 (MASP1) in AAI-induced RIF. Treating human proximal tubular (HK-2) cells with AAI (2.5, 5, 10 μM) increased inflammatory factors, fibrosis proteins, complement factor C3a, and MASP1/MASP2 expression. Similar increases occurred in AAI-treated (5 mg/kg) C57BL/6J mice. Inhibiting MASP1 using siRNA (siMASP1) or an inhibitor (C1INH, 100 μg/mL) in HK-2 cells reduced AAI-induced C3a elevation, complement activation, inflammation, MASP2, and fibrosis proteins. Correspondingly, in situ renal inhibition of MASP1 in mice using adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9-siMASP1) suppressed complement activation, kidney inflammation, and RIF following AAI exposure. These results demonstrate that AAI promotes RIF by activating the MASP1-complement pathway, leading to C3a release and inflammation. This study elucidates a mechanism for AAI-induced RIF and suggests MASP1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy against AAI toxicity.
期刊介绍:
Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.
The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:
-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances
-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology
-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena
-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.
Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
