Introduction Interleukin-34 (IL-34) shares a receptor (cFMS) with colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), and these two ligands mediate macrophage proliferation. However, in contrast to CSF-1, the influence of IL-34 on tubular epithelial cells (TECs) injury remains unclear. We investigated the physiological effects of IL-34 on TEC damage caused by cisplatin nephrotoxicity (CP-N). Methods Mice were administered anti-mouse IL-34 antibody (anti-IL-34 Ab; 400 ng/kg) or vehicle from 1 day before and up to 2 days after CP-N induction. In vitro, mouse renal proximal TECs (MRPTEpiC) were cultured to analyze the inhibitory effects of IL-34 on CP-induced TEC apoptosis. Results Compared to vehicle treatment, anti-IL-34 Ab treatment significantly suppressed the intra-renal expression of IL-34 and its two receptors, cFMS and PTP-ζ, and significantly improved renal function, ameliorated tubulointerstitial injury, suppressed macrophage infiltration, and reduced apoptotic cell numbers in CP-N mice. It also significantly reduced the renal transcript levels of Kim-1, MIP-1/CCL3, TNF-α, and Bax in CP-N mice. Furthermore, anti-IL-34 Ab-treated CP-N mice showed less renal infiltration of F4/80+TNF-α+ cells. In vitro, stimulation with CP induced the expression of IL-34 and its two receptors in MRPTEpiC. Anti-IL-34 Ab treatment significantly suppressed CP-induced Bax expression with the degradation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in damaged MRPTEpiC. Conclusions IL-34 secreted from damaged TECs appeared to be involved in the progression of CP-N. Inhibition of IL-34 with neutralizing antibody directly prevented CP-induced TEC apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2. Blocking of IL-34 appears to suppress the proliferation of cytotoxic macrophages, which indirectly attenuates CP-N. Thus, IL-34 represents a potential therapeutic target for TEC injury, and the inhibition of IL-34 might have a reno-protective effect.

Abstract Background and Aims Interleukin (IL)-34, a macrophage (Mø) mediator, is expressed by tubular epithelial cells (TECs). However, the influence of IL-34 on TECs injury has not been fully elucidated. We investigated the physiological properties of IL-34 on TECs damage caused by cisplatin-nephrotoxicity (CP-N). Method 7-week-old male C57BL/6 (B6) mice (n=16) were fasted for 8 hours and then induced CP-N by intraperitoneal injection (IP) of CP (25 mg/kg) on day 0. Groups of animals were given either anti-mouse IL-34 antibody (CP+anti-IL-34 Ab, 400 ng/kg, n=8) or vehicle (CP+V, equal volume of saline, n=8) daily by IP from day -1 to day 2. Three age-matched male B6 mice were used as normal control (NC). All mice were sacrificed on day 3. In addition, mouse renal proximal TECs (MRTEpiC) were cultured to analyze the inhibitory effects of IL-34 on CP-induced TEC apoptosis. Cells were stimulated with CP (2 μg/mL), then treated with or without anti-IL-34 Ab (1000 pg/mL). Results Compared to the NC, CP+V mice exhibited marked acute kidney injury (AKI) and upregulated expression of IL-34 and its two receptors, cFMS and PTP-ζ. Compared to the vehicle treatment, anti-IL-34 Ab treatment significantly suppressed the intrarenal expression levels of IL-34 and its two receptors in CP-N mice; it also significantly suppressed serum IL-34 levels (72.1 ± 5.6 vs. 40.4 ± 7.5 pg/mL, p=0.013). Additionally, treatment with anti-IL-34 Ab significantly improved serum Cr levels (1.3 ± 0.2 vs. 0.7 ± 0.1 mg/mL, p=0.033), ameliorated tubulointerstitial injury (numbers of casts/HPF: 11.9 ± 2.6 vs. 6.5 ± 1.8, p=0.048), and suppressed the number of F4/80+ Mø (17.5 ± 2.7 vs. 11.1 ± 1.1/HPF, p=0.041) and TUNEL+ apoptotic cells (29.2 ± 4.9 vs. 16.7 ± 2.7/HPF, p=0.036) in CP-N mice. The renal cortical transcript levels of Kim-1, MIP-1/CCL3, TNF-α, and Bax were significantly lower in the CP+anti-IL-34 Ab mice than in the CP+V mice. Furthermore, the CP+anti-IL-34 Ab mice showed significantly less renal infiltration of CD11b+F4/80+TNF-α+ cells. In vitro, stimulation with CP induced the expression of IL-34 and its two receptors in MRTEpiC. Treatment with anti-IL-34 Ab significantly suppressed CP-induced caspase-3 and Bax expression with degradation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the damaged MRTEpiC. Conclusion IL-34 secreted from damaged TECs was involved in the progression of CP-N. Inhibition of IL-34 with neutralizing antibody directly prevented CP-induced TEC apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Blocking of IL-34 might suppressed proliferation of cytotoxic Mø, which indirectly led to the attenuation of CP-N. Thus, IL-34 represents a potential as therapeutic target for AKI with TECs injury.

ABSTRACTHigh mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone DNA-binding protein that is secreted into the extracellular milieu in response to inflammatory stimuli. The secreted HMGB1 mediates various inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis; however, the underlying mechanisms of HMGB1-induced periodontal inflammation are not completely understood. Here, we examined whether anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody inhibits periodontal progression and investigated the molecular pathology of HMGB1in vitroandin vivo. In vitroanalysis indicated that HMGB1, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were secreted in response to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) stimuli in human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) and human monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1) treated with phorbol myristate acetate. Increased levels of GM-CSF and IL-1β were observed in the conditioned media from TNF-α-stimulated HGECs and THP-1in vitro. Simultaneous stimulation with TNF-α and anti-HMGB1 antibody significantly decreased TNF-α-induced inflammatory cytokine secretion. Experimental periodontitis was induced in mice usingPorphyromonas gingivalis-soaked ligatures. The extracellular translocation was confirmed in gingival epithelia in the periodontitis model mice by immunofluorescence analysis. Systemic administration of anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody significantly inhibited translocation of HMGB1. The anti-HMGB1 antibody inhibited periodontal inflammation, expression of IL-1β and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), migration of neutrophils, and bone resorption, shown by bioluminescence imaging of myeloperoxidase activity, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), and micro-computed tomography analysis. These findings indicate that HMGB1 is secreted in response to inflammatory stimuli caused by periodontal infection, which is crucial for the initiation of periodontitis, and the anti-HMGB1 antibody attenuates the secretion of a series of inflammatory cytokines, consequently suppressing the progression of periodontitis.

Inflammation-induced angiogenesis is closely related to many diseases and has been regarded as a therapeutic target. Caspase-8 has attracted increasing attention for its immune properties and therapeutic potential in inflammatory disorders. The aim of our study is to investigate the clinical application of pharmacological inhibition of caspase-8 and the underlying molecular mechanisms in inflammation-induced angiogenesis in the cornea. A model of alkali burn (AB)-induced corneal neovascularization (CNV) in C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice and toll-like receptor 4 knockout (Tlr4-/-) mice was used. We found that AB increased caspase-8 activity and the pharmacological inhibition of caspase-8 exerted substantial inhibitory effects on CNV, with consistent decreases in caspase-8 activity, inflammatory cell infiltration, macrophage recruitment and activation, VEGF-A, TNF-α, IL-1β, MIP-1, and MCP-1 expression in the cornea. In vitro, caspase-8 mediated TLR4–dependent chemokines and VEGF-A production by macrophages. The TLR4 knockout significantly alleviated CNV, suppressed caspase-8 activity and downregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines after AB. Taken together, these findings provide the first demonstration that the pharmacological inhibition of caspase-8 suppresses inflammation-induced angiogenesis and support the use of a pharmacological caspase-8 inhibitor as a novel clinical treatment for CNV and other angiogenic disorders.

AbstractMultiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy that grows in multiple sites of the axial skeleton and causes debilitating osteolytic disease. Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is a newly discovered cytokine that acts as a ligand of colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) receptor and can replace CSF-1 for osteoclast differentiation. In this study, we identify IL-34 as an osteoclastogenic cytokine that accelerates osteolytic disease in MM. IL-34 was found to be expressed in the murine MM cell line MOPC315.BM, and the expression of IL-34 was enhanced by stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines or by bone marrow (BM) stromal cells. MM-cell–derived IL-34 promoted osteoclast formation from mouse BM cells in vitro. Targeting Il34 by specific small interfering RNA impaired osteoclast formation in vitro and attenuated osteolytic disease in vivo. In BM aspirates from MM patients, the expression levels of IL-34 in CD138+ populations vary among patients from high to weak to absent. MM cell–derived IL-34 promoted osteoclast formation from human CD14+ monocytes, which was reduced by a neutralizing antibody against IL-34. Taken together, this study describes for the first time the expression of IL-34 in MM cells, indicating that it may enhance osteolysis and suggesting IL-34 as a potential therapeutic target to control pathological osteoclastogenesis in MM patients.

This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol (RES) on premature ovarian failure (POF) and the proliferation of female germline stem cells (FGSCs) at the tissue and cell levels. POF mice were lavaged with RES, and POF ovaries were co-cultured with RES and/or GANT61 in vitro. FGSCs were pretreated with Busulfan and RES and/or GANT61 and co-cultured with M1 macrophages, which were pretreated with RES. The weights of mice and their ovaries, as well as their follicle number, were measured. Ovarian function, antioxidative stress, inflammation, and FGSCs survival were evaluated. RES significantly increased the weights of POF mice and their ovaries as well as the number of follicles, while it decreased the atresia rate of follicles. Higher levels of Mvh, Oct4, SOD2, GPx, and CAT were detected after treatment with RES in vivo and in vitro. RES treatment resulted in significantly lower TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and an obviously higher IL-10 concentration in the ovaries. In FGSCs, higher Mvh, Oct4, and SOD2 concentrations and lower TNF-α, IL-6, and MDA concentrations were measured in the RES group. Blockage of the Hh signaling pathway reversed the protective effect of RES on FGSCs. In conclusion, RES effectively improved the ovarian function of the POF model and the productive capacity of FGSCs via relieving oxidative stress and inflammation and a mechanism involving the Hh signaling pathway, suggesting that RES is a potential agent against POF and can aid in the survival of FGSCs.

Accumulating evidence suggests a pathogenic role of chronic hypoxia in various kidney diseases. Chronic hypoxia in the kidney was induced by unilateral renal artery stenosis, followed 7 days later by observation of tubulointerstitial injury. Proteomic analysis of the hypoxic kidney found various altered proteins. Increased proteins included lipocortin-5, calgizzarin, ezrin, and transferrin, whereas the decreased proteins were α2u-globulin PGCL1, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1α2, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Among these proteins, we focused on Cu/Zn-SOD, a crucial antioxidant. Western blot analysis and real-time quantitative PCR analysis confirmed the downregulation of Cu/Zn-SOD in the chronic hypoxic kidney. Furthermore, our laser capture microdissection system showed that the expression of Cu/Zn-SOD was predominant in the tubulointerstitium and was decreased by chronic hypoxia. The tubulointerstitial injury estimated by histology and immunohistochemical markers was ameliorated by tempol, a SOD mimetic. This amelioration was associated with a decrease in levels of the oxidative stress markers 4-hydroxyl-2-nonenal and nitrotyrosine. Our in vitro studies utilizing cultured tubular cells revealed a role of TNF-α in downregulation of Cu/Zn-SOD. Since the administration of anti-TNF-α antibody ameliorated Cu/Zn-SOD suppression, TNF-α seems to be one of the suppressants of Cu/Zn-SOD. In conclusion, our proteomic analysis revealed a decrease in Cu/Zn-SOD, at least partly by TNF-α, in the chronic hypoxic kidney. This study, for the first time, uncovered maladaptive suppression of Cu/Zn-SOD as a mediator of a vicious cycle of oxidative stress and subsequent renal injury induced by chronic hypoxia.
