Shiga toxins (Stx) are a family of cytotoxic proteins that can cause hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), a thrombotic microangiopathy, following infections by Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC). Renal failure is a key feature of HUS and a major cause of childhood renal failure worldwide. There are currently no specific therapies for STEC-associated HUS, and the mechanism of Stx-induced renal injury is not well understood primarily due to a lack of fully representative animal models and an inability to monitor disease progression on a molecular or cellular level in humans at early stages. Three-dimensional (3D) tissue models have been shown to be morein vivo-like in their phenotype and physiology than 2D cultures for numerous disease models, including cancer and polycystic kidney disease. It is unknown whether exposure of a 3D renal tissue model to Stx will yield a morein vivo-like response than 2D cell culture. In this study, we characterized Stx2-mediated cytotoxicity in a bioengineered 3D human renal tissue model previously shown to be a predictor of drug-induced nephrotoxicity and compared its response to Stx2 exposure in 2D cell culture. Our results demonstrate that although many mechanistic aspects of cytotoxicity were similar between 3D and 2D, treatment of the 3D tissues with Stx resulted in an elevated secretion of the kidney injury marker 1 (Kim-1) and the cytokine interleukin-8 compared to the 2D cell cultures. This study represents the first application of 3D tissues for the study of Stx-mediated kidney injury.
