Abstract
Chronic kidney disease's prevalence rises globally. Whereas dialysis treatment replaces the kidney's filtering function and prolongs life, dreaded consequences in remote organs develop inevitably over time. Even milder reductions in kidney function not requiring replacement therapy associate with bacterial infections, cardiovascular and heart valve disease, which markedly limit prognosis in these patients. The array of complications is diverse and engages a wide gamut of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The innate immune system is profoundly and systemically altered in chronic kidney disease and, as a unifying element, partakes in many of the disease's complications. As such, a derailed immune system fuels cardiovascular disease progression but also elevates the propensity for serious bacterial infections. Recent data further point towards a role in developing calcific aortic valve stenosis. Here, we delineate the current state of knowledge on how chronic kidney disease affects innate immunity in cardiovascular organs and on a systemic level. We review the role of circulating myeloid cells, monocytes and neutrophils, resident macrophages, dendritic cells, ligands, and cellular pathways that are activated or suppressed when renal function is chronically impaired. Finally, we discuss myeloid cells' varying responses to uremia from a systems immunology perspective.

Abstract
Endogenous guanidino compounds (GCs), nitrogen-containing metabolites, have very important physiological activities and participate in biochemical processes. Therefore, accurately characterizing the distribution of endogenous GCs and monitoring their concentration variations are of great significance. In this work, a new derivatization reagent, 4,4'-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]benzyl (BDMAPB), with isotope-coded reagents was designed and synthesized for doubly charged labeling of GCs. BDMAPB-derivatized GCs not only promote the MS signal but also form multicharged quasimolecular ions and abundant fragment ions. With this reagent, an isotope-coded doubly charged labeling (ICDCL) strategy was developed for endogenous GCs with high-resolution liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF MS). The core of this methodology is a 4-fold multiplexed set of [d0]-/[d4]-/[d8]-/[d12]-BDMAPB that yields isotope-coded derivatized GCs. Following a methodological assessment, good linear responses in the range of 25 nM to 1 μM with correlation coefficients over 0.99 were achieved. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation were below 5 and 25 nM, respectively. The intra- and interday precisions were less than 18%, and the accuracy was in the range of 77.3-122.0%. The percentage recovery in tissues was in the range of 85.1-113.7%. The results indicate that the developed method facilitates long-term testing and ensures accuracy and reliability. Finally, the method was applied for the simultaneous analysis of endogenous GCs in four types of lung tissues (solid adenocarcinoma, solid squamous-cell carcinoma, ground-glass carcinoma, and paracancerous tissues) for absolute quantification, nontargeted screening, and metabolic difference analysis. It is strongly believed that ICDCL combined with isotope-coded BDMAPB will benefit the analysis and study of endogenous GCs.

Abstract
Leukocyte activation and the resulting oxidative stress induced by bioincompatible materials during hemodialysis impact the prognosis of patients. Despite multiple advances in hemodialysis dialyzers, the prognosis of hemodialysis patients with complications deeply related to oxidative stress, such as diabetes mellitus, remains poor. Thus, we re-evaluated the effects of hemodialysis on multiple reactive oxygen species using electron spin resonance-based methods for further improvement of biocompatibility in hemodialysis. We enrolled 31 patients in a stable condition undergoing hemodialysis using high-flux polysulfone dialyzers. The effects of hemodialysis on reactive oxygen species were evaluated by two methods: MULTIS, which evaluates serum scavenging activities against multiple hydrophilic reactive oxygen species, and i-STrap, which detects lipophilic carbon-center radicals. Similar to previous studies, we found that serum hydroxyl radical scavenging activity significantly improved after hemodialysis. Unlike previous studies, we discovered that scavenging activity against alkoxyl radical was significantly reduced after hemodialysis. Moreover, patients with diabetes mellitus showed a decrease in serum scavenging activity against alkyl peroxyl radicals and an increase in lipophilic carbon-center radicals after hemodialysis. These results suggest that despite extensive improvements in dialyzer membranes, the forms of reactive oxygen species that can be eliminated during dialysis are limited, and multiple reactive oxygen species still remain at increased levels during hemodialysis.

Abstract
Disseminated candidiasis caused by the fungus Candida albicans is a major clinical problem in individuals with kidney disease and accompanying uremia; disseminated candidiasis fatality is twice as common in patients with uremia as those with normal kidney function. Many antifungal drugs are nephrotoxic, making treatment of these patients particularly challenging. The underlying basis for this impaired capacity to control infections in uremic individuals is poorly understood. Here, we show in multiple models that uremic mice exhibit an increased susceptibility to systemic fungal infection. Uremia inhibits Glut1-mediated uptake of glucose in neutrophils by causing aberrant activation of GSK3β, resulting in reduced ROS generation and hence impaired killing of C. albicans in mice. Consequently, pharmacological inhibition of GSK3β restored glucose uptake and rescued ROS production and candidacidal function of neutrophils in uremic mice. Similarly, neutrophils isolated from patients with kidney disease and undergoing hemodialysis showed similar defect in the fungal killing activity, a phenotype rescued in the presence of a GSK3β inhibitor. These findings reveal a mechanism of neutrophil dysfunction during uremia and suggest a potentially translatable therapeutic avenue for treatment of disseminated candidiasis.

Abstract
Regardless of the primary disease responsible for kidney failure, patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) have in common multiple impairments of both the innate and adaptive immune systems, the pathophysiology of which has long remained enigmatic. CKD-associated immune dysfunction includes chronic low-grade activation of monocytes and neutrophils, which induces endothelial damage and increases cardiovascular risk. Although innate immune effectors are activated during CKD, their anti-bacterial capacity is impaired, leading to increased susceptibility to extracellular bacterial infections. Finally, CKD patients are also characterized by profound alterations of cellular and humoral adaptive immune responses, which account for an increased risk for malignancies and viral infections. This review summarizes the recent emerging data that link the pathophysiology of CKD-associated immune dysfunctions with the accumulation of microbiota-derived metabolites, including indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate, the two best characterized protein-bound uremic retention solutes.

Abstract
We investigated the hypothesis that the increased concentration of plasma methylguanidine (MG) increases oxidative metabolism and accelerates apoptosis of neutrophils from dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To achieve this, the levels of MG were quantified in healthy (n=16) and uremic dogs with CKD stage 4 of according to the guidelines of the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS, 2015) (n=16) using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To evaluate the isolated effect of MG on neutrophil oxidative metabolism and apoptosis, neutrophils isolated from 12 healthy dogs were incubated with the highest concentration of plasma MG (0.005g/L) observed in dogs with CKD. Neutrophil oxidative metabolism was assessed by flow cytometry, using the probes hydroethidine for superoxide production and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate for hydrogen peroxide production, with or without phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulus. Neutrophil apoptosis and viability were also evaluated in flow cytometer using the Annexin V-PE system, with or without the apoptosis-inducing effect of camptothecin. Uremic dogs presented higher concentrations of MG (p<0.0001), increased oxidative stress and primed neutrophils with higher apoptosis rate. The neutrophil abnormalities observed in vivo were also reproduced in vitro, using cells isolated from healthy dogs and incubated with MG. We obtained strong evidence that in dogs with CKD, increased MG levels contributed to oxidative stress and potentially compromised the non-specific immune response by altering the oxidative metabolism and viability of canine neutrophils.

Abstract
Resumo Dentre as toxinas urêmicas que comprovadamente afetam a função neutrofílica na doença renal crônica (DRC) em humanos, destacam-se os compostos guanidínicos. A fim de melhor entender os mecanismos que afetam a imunidade de pacientes urêmicos, no presente estudo foi investigada in vitro a hipótese de que o composto guanidínico ácido guanidinicoacético (AGA) contribui para inibição do metabolismo oxidativo, aumentando a apoptose dos neutrófilos de cães saudáveis. Para tal, neutrófilos isolados de dez cães saudáveis foram incubados em meio de cultura RPMI 1640 puro (controle) e enriquecido com 5 mg/L de AGA. Utilizando-se citometria de fluxo capilar para a avaliação do metabolismo oxidativo, quantificou-se a produção de superóxido dos neutrófilos empregando-se a sonda hidroetidina, com e sem a presença do estímulo com acetato miristato de forbol (PMA). O índice apoptótico foi quantificado utilizando-se o sistema Anexina V-PE, com e sem o efeito indutor da camptotecina. Os neutrófilos isolados e incubados em meio enriquecido com AGA, quando ativados com PMA, produziram uma menor quantidade de superóxido (p<0,001), porém tal inibição do metabolismo oxidativo ocorreu sem alterar significativamente a viabilidade e a taxa de apoptose. Assim, os resultados evidenciam que os compostos guanidínicos podem contribuir para imunossupressão de cães com DRC.

Abstract
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo testar a hipótese de que, à semelhança do que ocorre na uremia, cães com azotemia pré-renal sofrem estresse oxidativo, o qual está relacionado com alterações do metabolismo oxidativo e apoptose dos neutrófilos. Para tal, foi determinada a peroxidação lipídica pela quantificação do malondialdeído (MDA) e o status antioxidante total do plasma de 15 cães normais e 10 com azotemia pré-renal, correlacionando-os com a produção de superóxido e o índice apoptótico dos neutrófilos. As determinações do MDA e do status antioxidante total foram estabelecidas empregando-se um conjunto de reagentes comerciais. Por meio de citometria de fluxo capilar, a produção de superóxido e a apoptose de neutrófilos isolados de sangue periférico foram determinadas utilizando-se a sonda hidroetidina e o sistema anexina V-PE, respectivamente. Cães azotêmicos (26,29±5,32g/L) apresentaram menor concentração (p=0,0264) do antioxidante albumina em relação ao grupo-controle (30,36±3,29g/L) e também uma menor (p=0,0027) capacidade antioxidante total (2,36±0,32 versus 2,73±0,24mmol/L), enquanto não houve alteração da peroxidação lipídica plasmática e da produção de superóxido neutrofílica. Concluiu-se que, à semelhança do que ocorre na uremia, condições azotêmicas pré-renais no cão causam estresse oxidativo e aceleração da apoptose dos neutrófilos.

Abstract
Background Creatine kinase plays a key role in cellular energy transport. The enzyme transfers high-energy phosphoryl groups from mitochondria to subcellular sites of ATP hydrolysis, where it buffers ADP concentration by catalyzing the reversible transfer of the high-energy phosphate moiety (P) between creatine and ADP. Cellular creatine uptake is competitively inhibited by beta-guanidinopropionic acid. This substance is marked as safe for human use, but the effects are unclear. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the effect of beta-guanidinopropionic acid on energy metabolism and function of tissues with high energy demands. Methods We performed a systematic review and searched the electronic databases Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and LILACS from their inception through March 2011. Furthermore, we searched the internet and explored references from textbooks and reviews. Results After applying the inclusion criteria, we retrieved 131 publications, mainly considering the effect of chronic oral administration of beta-guanidinopropionic acid (0.5 to 3.5%) on skeletal muscle, the cardiovascular system, and brain tissue in animals. Beta-guanidinopropionic acid decreased intracellular creatine and phosphocreatine in all tissues studied. In skeletal muscle, this effect induced a shift from glycolytic to oxidative metabolism, increased cellular glucose uptake and increased fatigue tolerance. In heart tissue this shift to mitochondrial metabolism was less pronounced. Myocardial contractility was modestly reduced, including a decreased ventricular developed pressure, albeit with unchanged cardiac output. In brain tissue adaptations in energy metabolism resulted in enhanced ATP stability and survival during hypoxia. Conclusion Chronic beta-guanidinopropionic acid increases fatigue tolerance of skeletal muscle and survival during ischaemia in animal studies, with modestly reduced myocardial contractility. Because it is marked as safe for human use, there is a need for human data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbed polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) apoptosis contributes to the dysregulation of the non-specific immune system in uraemia. Intracellular Ca(2+) modulates PMNL apoptotic cell death. We investigated the effect of para-hydroxy-hippuric acid (PHA), an erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor accumulating in uraemic sera, and of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an inhibitor of the sarko/endoplasmatic Ca(2+)-ATPase, on PMNL apoptosis. METHODS Apoptosis of PMNLs from healthy subjects and from haemodialysis (HD) patients was assessed after incubation for 20 h by evaluating morphological features under the fluorescence microscope and by measuring the DNA content and caspase activities by flow cytometry. The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was determined by measurement of fura-2 fluorescence using the 340/ 380 nm dual wavelength excitation. RESULTS Spontaneous apoptosis of PMNLs from healthy subjects and from HD patients did not differ. PHA significantly attenuated, while CPA increased, the apoptotic cell death of PMNLs from healthy subjects. The PHA effect was not observed with PMNLs from HD patients, irrespective of whether the blood was drawn before or after HD treatment. Baseline [Ca(2+)](i) was increased in PMNLs obtained from HD patients before dialysis but reversed after dialysis. The PHA effects were not mediated via [Ca(2+)](i). The chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP) induced a [Ca(2+)](i) increase and reduced PMNL survival. Extracellular Ca(2+) did not affect CPA- and fMLP-induced apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS PHA, without affecting [Ca(2+)](i), attenuates apoptosis of healthy but not of uraemic PMNLs. CPA and fMLP enhance PMNL apoptosis independently of Ca(2+) influx.

Abstract
Effects of 14 days of hindlimb unloading or synergist ablation-related overloading with or without deafferentation on the fiber cross-sectional area, myonuclear number, size, and domain, the number of nucleoli in a single myonucleus, and the levels in the phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6 (S6) and 27-kDa heat shock protein (HSP27) were studied in rat soleus. Hypertrophy of fibers (+24%), associated with increased nucleolar number (from 1–2 to 3–5) within a myonucleus and myonuclear domain (+27%) compared with the preexperimental level, was induced by synergist ablation. Such phenomena were associated with increased levels of phosphorylated S6 (+84%) and HSP27 (+28%). Fiber atrophy (−52%), associated with decreased number (−31%) and domain size (−28%) of myonuclei and phosphorylation of S6 (−98%) and HSP27 (−63%), and with increased myonuclear size (+19%) and ubiquitination of myosin heavy chain (+33%, P > 0.05), was observed after unloading, which inhibited the mechanical load. Responses to deafferentation, which inhibited electromyogram level (−47%), were basically similar to those caused by hindlimb unloading, although the magnitudes were minor. The deafferentation-related responses were prevented and nucleolar number was even increased (+18%) by addition of synergist ablation, even though the integrated electromyogram level was still 30% less than controls. It is suggested that the load-dependent maintenance or upregulation of the nucleolar number and/or phosphorylation of S6 and HSP27 plays the important role(s) in the regulation of muscle mass. It was also indicated that such regulation was not necessarily associated with the neural activity.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the expression of CD18 on neutrophils from patients with various stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to determine the possibility of using it as a marker of disease development. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Levels of CD18 on neutrophils were measured by flow cytometry in 10 patients with DR stage 1, 14 patients in stages 2-4, 14 patients in stage 5 and 10 non-diabetic healthy subjects (control). RESULTS Mean channel fluorescence (MCF) of CD18 on neutrophils from the control, stage 1, stages 2-4 and stage 5 groups were 1.36+/-0.17, 2.99+/-1.44, 3.13+/-1.10 and 4.11+/-1.62, respectively. The difference among them was significant (P=0.00). The highest was from the stage 5 group, then stages 2-4 and stage 1. The least was from the control group (trend test, P=0.00). This trend remained after adjusting for confounding variables. This trend was only significant in type 2 when subjects were divided according to diabetic type, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Multiple linear regression against the level of CD18 MCF by stage of DR and covariates revealed a significant and independent association with the stage of DR (beta=0.33; P=0.01). CONCLUSION Elevated levels of CD18 on neutrophils were present in each stage of DR in type 2 diabetic patients. The more severe the disease, the higher the level was. CD18 may be a marker of the development of DR in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The blunted immune response upon stimulation in chronic renal failure (CRF) is often coupled to a baseline inflammatory status which has been related to atherogenesis. Uremic biologic fluids and several specific uremic retention solutes alter cell-mediated immune responses, as well as the interaction of calcitriol with the immune system. METHODS The present study evaluated the influence of different guanidino compounds on DNA synthesis, chemiluminescence production, and CD14 expression of undifferentiated and calcitriol-differentiated HL-60 cells. In a second setup, these guanidino compounds were evaluated for their specific effect on normal human leukocyte oxidative burst activity and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) expression. RESULTS First, several guanidino compounds elicited proinflammatory effects on leukocytes. Methylguanidine and guanidine stimulated the proliferation of undifferentiated HL-60 cells and the antiproliferative effect of calcitriol (P < 0.05) was neutralized in the presence of methylguanidine (P < 0.05) and guanidinosuccinic acid (P < 0.05). The phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA)-stimulated chemiluminescence production of the calcitriol differentiated HL-60 cells was enhanced in the presence of guanidine (P < 0.05). Methylguanidine and guanidinoacetic acid enhanced the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated intracellular production of TNF-alpha by normal human monocytes (P < 0.05). Second, several guanidino compounds inhibited the function of leukocytes if they were activated. The PMA-stimulated chemiluminescence production of the calcitriol differentiated HL-60 cells was inhibited by the presence of methylguanidine (P < 0.05), guanidinoacetic acid (P < 0.05) and guanidinosuccinic acid (P < 0.05). After incubation of whole blood in the presence of methylguanidine, the Escherichia coli stimulated oxidative burst activity of the granulocyte population was significantly inhibited (P < 0.05). In addition, guanidinosuccinic acid had an inhibitory effect on the LPS-stimulated intracellular production of TNF-alpha by human monocytes (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Guanidino compounds exert proinflammatory as well as anti-inflammatory effects on monocyte/macrophage function. This could contribute to the altered prevalence of cardiovascular disease and propensity to infection in patients with CRF.

Abstract
The uremic syndrome is a mix of clinical features resulting from multiple organ dysfunctions which develop when kidney failure progresses, and is attributed to the retention of solutes, which under normal conditions are excreted by the healthy kidneys into the urine. The most practical classification of uremic solutes is based on their physicochemical characteristics that influence their dialytic removal, in (1) small water soluble compounds, (2) the larger "middle molecules," and (3) the protein bound compounds. Hence, uremic retention is much more complex than originally believed. Among the small water soluble compounds, urea exerts not much toxic activity and is not very representative in its kinetic behavior for many other uremic solutes. Among the middle molecules, many have been recognized to exert biological activity and hence to contribute to the uremic syndrome. Specific dialysis strategies apply large pore membranes to remove those middle molecules and have a beneficial impact on uremic morbidity and mortality. A substantial number of uremic solutes are protein bound. Only recently, a relation between their concentration and clinical status could be demonstrated. Likewise, it was only recently possible to demonstrate more than standard removal with super-flux dialysis membranes. To further improve characterization of uremic solutes and to develop directed therapeutic approaches, further concerted action among various groups of researchers will be needed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT. Maintenance hemodialysis patients display evidence of elevated interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha release after stimulation either by contaminated dialysate, bioincompatible membrane material, or both. This release is followed by the stimulated secretion of a large number of other interleukins, particularly IL-6, the cytokine principally responsible for acute-phase protein synthesis. It has been shown that high levels of the circulating proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6, and IL-13 are associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. Essential functions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes—that is, phagocytosis, oxygen species production, upregulation of specific cell surface receptor proteins, or apoptosis—are disturbed in patients with end-stage renal disease. These are further altered as a result of complement activation by the hemodialysis procedure, particularly if bioincompatible dialyzers are used. Polymorphonuclear leukocyte degranulation occurring during extracorporeal circulation does not depend on complement activation but rather on intracellular calcium and the presence or absence of the degranulation inhibitory proteins angiogenin and complement factor D. Clinical signs and symptoms of end-stage renal disease patients are at least in part related to the accumulation of middle molecules such as β2-microglobulin, parathyroid hormone, advanced glycation end products, advanced lipoxidation end products, advanced oxidation protein products (formed as a result of oxidative stress, carbonyl stress, or both), granulocyte inhibitory proteins, or leptin. Currently available membrane materials do not provide long-lasting, effective reduction of middle molecules in patients who require maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract
Patients with chronic renal failure suffer from defective host defenses which are directly the result of the renal impairment, in addition to those dependent on the primary illness leading to the renal failure. The mechanisms underlying the defective responses in phagocytic cells, lymphocytes and antigen processing are likely due to either failure to adequately eliminate suppressive compounds by the defective kidneys or to improper metabolic processing of the factors by the damaged renal parynchema. That some of the defects are reversed by transplantation and not dialysis suggests that renal parenchymal metabolic activities may be involved, although it is also possible that functioning glomerular cells are capable of filtering substances that membranes are not currently capable of eliminating. The current strategy for dealing with the immunodeficiency appears to be totally based on developing means to circumvent the defective function. The other approach, correction of the impaired function, cannot be even considered until the mechanisms underlying the defective function of the cells involved in defenses are better delineated. It seems possible that one or a few compounds are pivotal in altering the function of all the affected cell lines, since, with only a small amount of effort, it is possible to relate the dysfunction to abnormal cell membrane functions in phagocytic cells, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. Until the biochemical basis of the dysfunction of all the cell types affected are better defined, such exercises cannot be translated into better management of patients with chronic renal failure. Proper function of host defenses requires that appropriate cells can properly respond to threats to host viability. For the cells of the immune system (phagocytes and lymphocytes) this means that their response to regulatory molecules be appropriate, that their mobility be normal, that their adherence to substrates be preserved, and that they can generate the appropriate response to the challenge. For neutrophils, for example, it is necessary that they recognize and mobilize appropriately to chemotactic stimuli, that they be able to adhere to and migrate through endothelial lining, that their phagocytic activity be sufficient, and that they can kill and degrade endocytosed particles and generate appropriate secretions. Similar lists of requirements for good function can be generated for any cell type in the immune defense system. Uremia, as well as currently available treatments for uremia, directly or indirectly alters the function of all phases of appropriate immune cell function. Defective host responses in uremia have been recognized for decades and there has been considerable effort in the past decade to better define the extent and mechanisms of impaired defenses. Despite the multitude of major defects in humoral, cellular, and inflammatory processes, uremic patients who are cared for today, although they remain at higher risk of serious infectious complications, can and do maintain a good quality of life, with most remaining free of major infections for years and decades.

Abstract
Kidney dysfunction leads to disturbed renal metabolic activities and to impaired glomerular filtration, resulting in the retention of toxic solutes affecting all organs of the body. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and infections are the main causes for the increased occurrence of morbidity and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both complications are directly or indirectly linked to a compromised immune defense. The specific coordinated roles of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs), monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in maintaining an efficient immune response are affected. Their normal response can be impaired, giving rise to infectious diseases or pre-activated/primed, leading to inflammation and consequently to CVD. Whereas the coordinated removal via apoptosis of activated immune cells is crucial for the resolution of inflammation, inappropriately high apoptotic rates lead to a diminished immune response. In uremia, the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory and between pro- and anti-apoptotic factors is disturbed. This review summarizes the interrelated parameters interfering with the immune response in uremia, with a special focus on the non-specific immune response and the role of uremic toxins.
