RP represents a generalized vasculopathy and potentially lead to digital ulcers (DU), which may be complicated by superinfection, tissue necrosis, and limb loss. We report the analysis of an extracorporeal procedure in a 36-year-old female patient with diffuse SSc with refractory RP and DU despite treatment with diltiazem, candesartan, sildenafil, and intravenous iloprost. We performed rheopheresis (RheoP), a variant of double-filtration plasmapheresis, as a potential new treatment option for refractory patients despite optimal medical therapy. We performed two RheoP per week every 4 weeks for a total of 3 months. Clinical improvement in DU healing occurred with no adverse events directly related to the treatment. While there was no reduction in the number of Raynaud attacks with RheoP, a significant reduction of the duration of attacks from a median of 15 (5–45, 95% CI 10–15) to 7 (3–30, 95% CI 6–10) minutes with an improvement of the Raynaud Condition Score (RCS) improved from 4 to 2. In conclusion, RheoP is a feasible and potentially beneficial treatment modality in patients with refractory RP and DU.

Here we find that, during renal fibrosis, TECs acquire a partial EMT program during which they remain associated with their basement membrane and express markers of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The functional consequence of the EMT program during fibrotic injury is an arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and lower expression of several solute and solvent transporters in TECs. We also found that transgenic expression of either Twist1 (encoding twist family bHLH transcription factor 1, known as Twist) or Snai1 (encoding snail family zinc finger 1, known as Snail) expression is sufficient to promote prolonged TGF-beta 1-induced G2 arrest of TECs, limiting the cells' potential for repair and regeneration. In mouse models of experimentally induced renal fibrosis, conditional deletion of Twist1 or Snai1 in proximal TECs resulted in inhibition of the EMT program and the maintenance of TEC integrity, while also restoring cell proliferation, dedifferentiation-associated repair and regeneration of the kidney parenchyma and attenuating interstitial fibrosis.

Although Col4a3;Tsp1 DK0 mice did progress toward end-stage renal failure, their kidneys exhibited distinct histopathological lesions, compared with creatinine level- matched Col4a3 K0 mice. Although kidneys of both Col4a3 K0 and Col4a3;Tsp1 DK0 mice exhibited a widened tubulointerstitium, predominant lesions in Col4a3 K0 kidneys were collagen deposition and fibroblast accumulation, whereas in Col4a3;Tsp1 DK0 kidney inflammation was predominant, with less collagen deposition. Altered disease progression correlated with impaired activation of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in vivo and in vitro in the absence of TSP1. In summary, our findings suggest that TSP1 contributes to progression of chronic kidney disease by catalyzing activation of latent TGF-beta 1, resulting in promotion of a fibroproliferative response over an inflammatory response.

Because epigenetic modifications play a role in maintaining tissue fibrosis, we used a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury to determine whether aberrant promoter methylation of RASAL1 contributes causally to the switch between physiological regeneration and tubulointerstitial fibrogenesis, a hallmark of AKI-to-CKD progression. It is known that the antihypertensive drug hydralazine has demethylating activity, and that its optimum demethylating activity occurs at concentrations below blood pressure-lowering doses. Administration of low-dose hydralazine effectively induced expression of hydroxylase TET3, which catalyzed RASAL1 hydroxymethylation and subsequent RASAL1 promoter demethylation. Hydralazine-induced CpG promoter demethylation subsequently attenuated renal fibrosis and preserved excretory renal function independent of its blood pressure-lowering effects. In comparison, RASAL1 demethylation and inhibition of tubulointerstitial fibrosis was not detected upon administration of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor Ramipril in this model.

While expression of ARNT can be pharmacologically induced by sub-immunosuppressive doses of FK506 or by GPI1046, its anti-fibrotic activity is only realized when ARNT-ARNT homodimers form, as opposed to formation of ARNT-AHR or ARNT-HIF1α heterodimers. Mechanisms underlying ARNTs dimerization decision to specifically form ARNT–ARNT homodimers and possible cues to specifically induce ARNT homodimerization have been previously unknown. Here, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of the Ser77 residue is critical for ARNT–ARNT homodimer formation and stabilization. We further demonstrate that inhibition of PP2A phosphatase activity by LB100 enhances ARNT–ARNT homodimers both in vivo and in vitro (mouse tubular epithelial cells and human embryonic kidney cells). In murine models of kidney fibrosis, and also of liver fibrosis, combinations of FK506 or GPI1046 (to induce ARNT expression) with LB100 (to enhance ARNT homodimerization) elicit additive anti-fibrotic activities. Our study provides additional evidence for the anti-fibrotic activity of ARNT–ARNT homodimers and reveals Ser77 phosphorylation as a novel pharmacological target to realize the therapeutic potential of increased ARNT transactivation activity."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41598-021-03523-1"],["dc.identifier.pii","3523"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/97817"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-507"],["dc.relation.eissn","2045-2322"],["dc.title","PP2A phosphatase inhibition is anti-fibrotic through Ser77 phosphorylation-mediated ARNT/ARNT homodimer formation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While mechanistic studies provided extensive insights into the common pathways of fibrogenesis which underlie the progression of CKD, these pre-clinical studies fail to fully explain the vastly different progression slopes of individual patients. Recent studies provide evidence that genetic polymorphisms and epigenetic variations determine the individual susceptibility of patients to develop chronic progressive kidney disease. Here, we review recent insights that were provided by genome-wide association studies (GWASs), gene-linkage studies and epigenome analysis. The progression of CKD towards end-stage renal failure remains a principal unsolved problem in Nephrology as effective therapies and predictive tests are still not available [1, 2]. Chronic progressive kidney disease is caused by a wide range of diseases, with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and primary glomerulopathies being the most common causes in the Western world [3]. Infections, physical obstruction, interstitial nephritides and genetic cystic kidney diseases are also common causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [3]. Regardless of the primary underlying disease, chronically injured kidneys are histomorphologically characterized by tubulointerstitial fibrosis [1]. In fact, the extent of tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the best predictor for kidney survival, irrespective of the underlying disease. For this reason, fibrosis is considered the common pathway of chronic progressive kidney disease [1]. Fibrogenesis is a pathological scarring process which involves accumulation of activated fibroblasts, excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, failed regeneration of tubular epithelium, microvascular rarefaction and (mostly sterile) inflammation [4]. Fibrogenesis depends on a complex interaction of the involved cell types which is orchestrated by an extensive network of growth factors and signalling pathways (which are reviewed extensively elsewhere) [1]. In view of the detailed mechanistic knowledge of the pathways that orchestrate renal fibrogenesis, it is puzzling why progression rates of CKD differ dramatically among patients with identical underlying diseases [1, 2]. The fibrotic pathways are known, but the switches that control their intensities and which determine the speed at which fibrosis moves along the progression slope are not yet understood [1, 2]. The concept that genetic polymorphisms are the basis for individual progression rates of CKD is an obvious and attractive one. Distinct susceptibilities of different mouse and rat strains to experimental CKD are a strong testament of the impact of genetic variations on renal fibrogenesis. Identification of the underlying genetic polymorphisms and mechanistic proof of their involvement in the progression of CKD, however, is an ongoing challenge. There are two basic approaches: one strategy is to perform unbiased screening to identify genes which are associated with chronic progressive kidney disease and to then prove their mechanistic relevance in experimental studies ('genotype to phenotype approach'). The second strategy is to selectively analyse polymorphisms of genes which have been identified in mechanistic studies as drivers of renal fibrogenesis with regard to their association with CKD (phenotype to genotype approach). The puzzling observation, however, is that genetic analysis and mechanistic studies so far rarely complement each other. The current state of affairs is reviewed in more detail below."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/ndt/gft025"],["dc.identifier.isi","000342940300009"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/32458"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","1460-2385"],["dc.relation.issn","0931-0509"],["dc.title","Contribution of genetics and epigenetics to progression of kidney fibrosis"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
