Abstract

Background/Aims: Human coronary artery-derived endothelial cells (ECs) seem to be the most appropriate cells for the pathogenesis study of coronary artery disease. But limited availability of endothelial tissue is a major constraint. In this study, we developed a method to isolate human coronary artery ECs in vivo from patients. Methods: Coronary guidewires were used to obtain EC samples from coronary arteries in 76 patients. Cells were eluted from wire tips and purified by immunomagnetic beads. Von Willebrand factor and CD31 were used as immunocytochemical markers to identify cells as endothelium. Cell viability was evaluated in terms of cell membrane integrity, energy-dependent uptake of DiI-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein, and apoptosis. Nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production of cells were detected to evaluate cell function. Results: About 96 coronary artery ECs were obtained per guidewire. Cells manifested endothelial morphology and immunoreactivity for von Willebrand factor and CD31 with good viability. But eNOS expression and NO production of cells were decreased. Conclusions: Viable coronary endothelium could be obtained during routine percutaneous coronary interventions combined with immunomagnetic beads. These cells may be used for advanced cellular functional analyses such as immunocytochemistry and molecular biology. Such information could aid in understanding mechanisms of coronary artery diseases.

Regulation of mitochondrial dynamics in acute kidney injury in cell culture and rodent models.

Craig Brooks, Qingqing Wei, Sung-Gyu Cho … (2009)

The mechanism of mitochondrial damage, a key contributor to renal tubular cell death during acute kidney injury, remains largely unknown. Here, we have demonstrated a striking morphological change of mitochondria in experimental models of renal ischemia/reperfusion and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. This change contributed to mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, release of apoptogenic factors, and consequent apoptosis. Following either ATP depletion or cisplatin treatment of rat renal tubular cells, mitochondrial fragmentation was observed prior to cytochrome c release and apoptosis. This mitochondrial fragmentation was inhibited by Bcl2 but not by caspase inhibitors. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a critical mitochondrial fission protein, translocated to mitochondria early during tubular cell injury, and both siRNA knockdown of Drp1 and expression of a dominant-negative Drp1 attenuated mitochondrial fragmentation, cytochrome c release, caspase activation, and apoptosis. Further in vivo analysis revealed that mitochondrial fragmentation also occurred in proximal tubular cells in mice during renal ischemia/reperfusion and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Notably, both tubular cell apoptosis and acute kidney injury were attenuated by mdivi-1, a newly identified pharmacological inhibitor of Drp1. This study demonstrates a rapid regulation of mitochondrial dynamics during acute kidney injury and identifies mitochondrial fragmentation as what we believe to be a novel mechanism contributing to mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in vivo in mouse models of disease.

Temporal changes in incidence of dialysis-requiring AKI.

Raymond Hsu, Charles E McCulloch, R Adams Dudley … (2013)

The population epidemiology of AKI is not well described. Here, we analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a nationally representative dataset, to identify cases of dialysis-requiring AKI using validated International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes. From 2000 to 2009, the incidence of dialysis-requiring AKI increased from 222 to 533 cases per million person-years, averaging a 10% increase per year (incidence rate ratio=1.10, 95% CI=1.10-1.11 per year). Older age, male sex, and black race associated with higher incidence of dialysis-requiring AKI. The rapid increase in incidence was evident in all age, sex, and race subgroups examined. Temporal changes in the population distribution of age, race, and sex as well as trends of sepsis, acute heart failure, and receipt of cardiac catheterization and mechanical ventilation accounted for about one third of the observed increase in dialysis-requiring AKI among hospitalized patients. The total number of deaths associated with dialysis-requiring AKI rose from 18,000 in 2000 to nearly 39,000 in 2009. In conclusion, the incidence of dialysis-requiring AKI increased rapidly in all patient subgroups in the past decade in the United States, and the number of deaths associated with dialysis-requiring AKI more than doubled.

Acute renal failure in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock--a significant independent risk factor for mortality: results from the German Prevalence Study.

Michael Oppert, Christoph Engel, Frank Brunkhorst … (2008)

Sound data about the prevalence of acute renal failure (ARF) among patients with severe sepsis and septic shock are lacking. Further, it is not known whether ARF is an independent risk factor for mortality in septic patients or merely an indicator of disease severity. A prospective cross-sectional one-day prevalence study was carried out in a representative sample of German ICUs, divided into five strata ( 600 beds; university hospitals). 3877 patients were screened of whom 415 had severe sepsis and septic shock. Fourteen patients (3.4%) had chronic dialysis-dependent RF and were excluded from analysis. Of the remaining 401 patients, 166 (41.4%) had ARF, as defined by a rise in creatinine above twice the upper limit of normal and/or a drop in urine output to < 0.5 ml/kg bodyweight. Median APACHE II score was 22 in patients with ARF and 16 in patients without ARF (p< 0.0001). Patients with severe sepsis/septic shock had an overall hospital mortality of 55.2%. Hospital mortality in patients with ARF was 67.3% and without ARF 42.8% (p< 0.0001). After adjustment for APACHE II score and age, ARF remained a significant independent risk factor for death [odds ratio (OR) 2.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27-3.52]. Mortality in septic patients was not associated with pre-existing, non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease, whereas in dialysis-dependent patients with sepsis mortality increased to 86%. In this representative survey in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock, prevalence of ARF is high with 41.4%. ARF represents a significant independent risk factor for mortality in these patients.
