Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global health problem, given its substantial morbidity and mortality rates. A better understanding of the mechanisms and factors contributing to AKI has the potential to guide interventions aimed at mitigating the risk of AKI and its subsequent unfavorable outcomes. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an intrinsic protective mechanism against external stressors. ERS occurs when the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cannot deal with accumulated misfolded proteins completely. Excess ERS can eventually cause pathological reactions, triggering various programmed cell death (autophagy, ferroptosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis). This article provides an overview of the latest research progress in deciphering the interaction between ERS and different programmed cell death. Additionally, the report consolidates insights into the roles of ERS in AKI and highlights the potential avenues for targeting ERS as a treatment direction toward for AKI.

Abstract
Optimal tissue oxygenation is essential for its normal function. Suboptimal oxygenation or ischemia contributes to increased mortalities during various pathological conditions such as stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), cardiac failure. Despite the rapid progression of renal tissue injury, the mechanism underlying renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) remains highly unclear. Experimental in vitro and in vivo models epitomizing the fundamental process is critical to the research of the pathogenesis of IRI and the development of plausible therapeutics. In this review, we describe the in vitro and in vivo models of IRI, ranges from proximal tubular cell lines to surgery-based animal models like clamping of both renal pedicles (bilateral IRI), clamping of one renal pedicle (unilateral IRI), clamping of one/or both renal arteries/or vein, or unilateral IRI with contralateral nephrectomy (uIRIx). Also, advanced technologies like three-dimensional kidney organoids, kidney-on-a-chip are explained. This review provides thoughtful information for establishing reliable and pertinent models for studying IRI-associated acute renal pathologies.

Glycolytic regulation of cell rearrangement in angiogenesis. Nat Commun 2016; 7:12240.

Abstract
During vessel sprouting, endothelial cells (ECs) dynamically rearrange positions in the sprout to compete for the tip position. We recently identified a key role for the glycolytic activator PFKFB3 in vessel sprouting by regulating cytoskeleton remodelling, migration and tip cell competitiveness. It is, however, unknown how glycolysis regulates EC rearrangement during vessel sprouting. Here we report that computational simulations, validated by experimentation, predict that glycolytic production of ATP drives EC rearrangement by promoting filopodia formation and reducing intercellular adhesion. Notably, the simulations correctly predicted that blocking PFKFB3 normalizes the disturbed EC rearrangement in high VEGF conditions, as occurs during pathological angiogenesis. This interdisciplinary study integrates EC metabolism in vessel sprouting, yielding mechanistic insight in the control of vessel sprouting by glycolysis, and suggesting anti-glycolytic therapy for vessel normalization in cancer and non-malignant diseases. Glycolytic regulator PFKFB3 is a key player in vessel sprouting. Here the authors develop a computational model predicting that PFKFB3 drives endothelial cell rearrangement during vessel sprouting by promoting filopodia formation and reducing intercellular adhesion, and empirically validate this prediction.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Autophagy Provides Cytoprotection from Chemical Hypoxia and Oxidant Injury and Ameliorates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0140025.

Abstract
We examined whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced autophagy provides cytoprotection from renal tubular epithelial cell injury due to oxidants and chemical hypoxia in vitro, as well as from ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in vivo. We demonstrate that the ER stress inducer tunicamycin triggers an unfolded protein response, upregulates ER chaperone Grp78, and activates the autophagy pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells in culture. Inhibition of ER stress-induced autophagy accelerated caspase–3 activation and cell death suggesting a pro-survival role of ER stress-induced autophagy. Compared to wild-type cells, autophagy-deficient MEFs subjected to ER stress had enhanced caspase–3 activation and cell death, a finding that further supports the cytoprotective role of ER stress-induced autophagy. Induction of autophagy by ER stress markedly afforded cytoprotection from oxidants H2O2 and tert-Butyl hydroperoxide and from chemical hypoxia induced by antimycin A. In contrast, inhibition of ER stress-induced autophagy or autophagy-deficient cells markedly enhanced cell death in response to oxidant injury and chemical hypoxia. In mouse kidney, similarly to renal epithelial cells in culture, tunicamycin triggered ER stress, markedly upregulated Grp78, and activated autophagy without impairing the autophagic flux. In addition, ER stress-induced autophagy markedly ameliorated renal IR injury as evident from significant improvement in renal function and histology. Inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine markedly increased renal IR injury. These studies highlight beneficial impact of ER stress-induced autophagy in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Although long recognized in microvascular research, an increasing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory markers are present in human diseases. Since the inflammatory cascade serves as a repair mechanism, the presence of inflammatory markers in patient groups has raised an important question about the mechanisms that initiate the inflammatory cascade (i.e., the mechanisms that cause tissue injury). Using a severe form of inflammation, shock, and multiorgan failure, for which there is no accepted injury mechanism, we summarize studies that suggest that the powerful pancreatic digestive enzymes play a central role in the destruction of the intestine and other tissues if their compartmentalization in the lumen of the intestine and in the pancreas is compromised. Further, we summarize evidence that uncontrolled degrading enzyme activity in plasma causes proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular domain of membrane receptors and loss of associated cell functions. For example, in a model of metabolic disease with type II diabetes, proteolytic cleavage of the insulin receptor causes the inability of insulin to signal glucose transport across membranes. The evidence suggests that uncontrolled proteolytic and lipolytic enzyme activity may trigger the mechanism for tissue injury. The significance of such mechanisms remain to be explored in human diseases.

Abstract
Tunicamycin effect on thapsigargin-induced store-operated calcium entry was investigated. Ca2+ influx was stimulated by 50% upon exposure of Jurkat cells to tunicamycin. Moreover, tunicamycin efficiently prevented the inhibition of store-operated calcium entry caused by dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Protective action of tunicamycin on store-operated Ca2+ entry was also partially preserved in Jurkat cells depleted of ATP, while Ca2+ entry into ATP-deprived cells grown in tunicamycin-free medium was almost completely inhibited. Tunicamycin-evoked changes in cellular Ca2+ fluxes coincided with decreased glycosylation of STIM1 protein. Although the latter observation is correlative and needs additional confirmation it may suggest that deglycosylation of STIM1 protein deprives store-operated calcium entry system of an important regulatory mechanism. This study suggests a novel mechanism of modulation of the activity of store-operated calcium channels in lymphoidal cells.

Abstract
Activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) has been suggested to attenuate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We recently found a compound, namely BIX, that activated the UPR selectively through the activating transcription factor 6 pathway. This study examined the effect of BIX on renal I/R injury in mice. BIX selectively up-regulated renal BiP mRNA and protein. Pretreatment with BIX significantly ameliorated renal I/R injury. Co-administration of BIX and tunicamycin, a non-selective UPR inducer, provided no additional protection. Our results suggest that the UPR activation by BIX leads to a novel drug therapy against renal I/R injury.

Abstract
Although renal ischemia-reperfusion is known to activate the unfolded protein response, the renal site and role of activation of this response following the insult in vivo remains largely unknown. Here we studied the renal spatio-temporal expression pattern of glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, a central regulator of the unfolded protein response network, following renal ischemia-reperfusion and the effects of the specific chemical unfolded protein response inducers, tunicamycin and thapsigargin, on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Renal ischemia-reperfusion resulted in expression of the spliced form of the X-box binding protein-1 (XBP-1s) transcript, an unfolded protein response target, at 1 and 2 h after the insult. This response was followed by an increase in the GRP78 transcript and protein. The increased amount of GRP78 protein after ischemia-reperfusion was largely localized in proximal tubule cells. Pretreatment with tunicamycin or thapsigargin significantly ameliorated renal dysfunction and injury after ischemia-reperfusion. Taken together with these results, the unfolded protein response was activated following renal ischemia-reperfusion at sites that are susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and this activation had a protective effect against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. Molecules involved in the unfolded protein response may offer new opportunities for pharmacological intervention against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is an important cause of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE Unlike most monolayer epithelial cells, cultured RPE are competent to form a zonular adhesion of N- rather than E-cadherin. To determine whether other normal epithelial cells do likewise, cells with high endogenous N-cadherin were cloned from the typically E-cadherin dominant epithelial line Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) to analyze cell and junction phenotype in the presence of N-cadherin. METHODS A MDCK subclonal line, clone-YH, was selected for high endogenous N-cadherin and was compared with the RPE line hTERT-RPE1 with regard to cell phenotype, cadherin gene expression and cadherin protein distribution, glycosylation state, and catenin complex composition. RESULTS In early cultures, hTERT-RPE1 cells are moderately epithelioid with junctional N-cadherin, but clone-YH cells are initially highly fusiform with N-cadherin in multiple sites. With time, N-cadherin in clone-YH becomes deglycosylated, resistant to detergent extraction, and zonular, and cells become epithelioid. Treatment with the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin induces an epithelioid phenotype in clone-YH, like time in culture but disrupts the hTERT-RPE1 phenotype. N-cadherin traffics to surface membranes and complexes with catenins regardless of cell type or glycosylation state, although catenin complex composition varied, showing enriched alpha-catenin under the cell-type-specific conditions in which N-cadherin was junctional. Clone-YH continued to express E-cadherin as a very minor cadherin, which trafficked to membranes but did not accumulate at junctions. CONCLUSIONS RPE cells are not unique in localizing N-cadherin to a zonular adhesion typical of a monolayer epithelium, because even epithelial cells derived from a typically E-cadherin dominant line (clone-YH) form a zonular N-cadherin junction if the protein is abundant. However, there are cell and cadherin differences in mechanisms of cadherin accumulation in a zonular pattern, and a previously unrecognized cell-type-specific role for protein glycosylation in epithelial phenotype development.

Abstract
To ascertain the early pathophysiological features in canine renal papillary necrosis (RPN) caused by the neurotransmission enhancer nefiracetam, male beagle dogs were orally administered nefiracetam at 300 mg/kg/day for 4 to 7 weeks in comparison with ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), at 50 mg/kg/day for 5 weeks. During the dosing period, the animals were periodically subjected to laboratory tests, light-microscopic, immunohistochemical, and electron-microscopic examinations and/or cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 mRNA analysis. In laboratory tests, a decrease in urinary osmotic pressure and increases in urine volume and urinary lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level were early biomarkers for detecting RPN. Light-microscopically, nefiracetam revealed epithelial swelling and degeneration in the papillary ducts in week 7, while ibuprofen displayed degeneration and necrosis in the papillary interstitium in week 5. In immunohistochemical staining with COX-2 antibody, nefiracetam elicited a positive reaction within interstitial cells around the affected epithelial cells in the papillary ducts (upper papilla) in week 7, and ibuprofen positively reacted within interstitial cells adjacent to the degenerative and/or necrotic lesions in week 5. Ultrastructurally, nefiracetam exhibited reductions of intracellular interdigitation and infoldings of epithelial cells in the papillary ducts, whereas ibuprofen showed no changes in the identical portions. Thus, the early morphological change in the papilla brought about by nefiracetam was quite different from that elicited by ibuprofen. By the renal papillary COX-2 mRNA expression analysis, nefiracetam exceedingly decreased its expression in week 4, but markedly increased it in week 7, suggesting an induction of COX-2 mRNA by renal papillary lesions. These results demonstrate that the epithelial cell in the papillary ducts is the primary target site for the onset of RPN evoked by nefiracetam.

Abstract
In previous studies we demonstrated that the presence of testosterone, rather than the absence of estrogen, plays a critical role in gender differences in kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although molecular chaperones such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been implicated as protective agents in the pathophysiology of I/R injury, their roles in gender differences in susceptibility to renal I/R injury remain to be defined. Here we demonstrate that orchiectomy increases the basal and post-ischemic expression of HSP-27 in kidney tubular epithelial cells, but not HSP-72, glucose-regulated protein (GRP)-78 or GRP-94 expression. Orchiectomy prevents the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and renal functional disorders induced by I/R, when compared with intact male mice or orchiectomized mice treated with dihydrotestosterone, a non-aromatizable isoform of testosterone. Thus, the protection afforded by orchiectomy is associated with increased expression of HSP-27, a heat shock protein important for maintenance of actin cytoskeletal integrity. These findings indicate that testosterone inhibits the heat shock response and may provide a new paradigm for design of therapies for I/R injury.
