Abstract
Phosphate is an integral part of human cellular structure and function. Though most recognised disorders of phosphaturia are genetic in origin, phosphate loss due to acquired conditions is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Acquired hypophosphatemia is most commonly due to renal phosphate wasting and can produce significant morbidity. It also heralds future kidney damage, and continued exposure can lead to progressive kidney injury and potentially renal failure. These conditions are a diverse group of disorders with common shared mechanisms causing loss of phosphate in the urine. Renal phosphate loss can occur as an isolated entity or as a part of generalised proximal tubular dysfunction, i.e., Fanconi's syndrome. An insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of acquired phosphaturia can help clinicians monitor their patients better and avoid potential harms.

Alosaimy S, Rybak MJ, Sakoulas G. Understanding vancomycin nephrotoxicity augmented by β-lactams: a synthesis of endosymbiosis, proximal renal tubule mitochondrial metabolism, and β-lactam chemistry. THE LANCET. INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2024; 24:e179-e188. [PMID: 37883984 DOI: 10.1016/s1473-3099(23)00432-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
The recent understanding that hydrophobic β-lactams have greater affinity for organic anion transporter-3 (OAT-3) of the proximal renal tubule could provide valuable insights for anticipating β-lactams that may exacerbate vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity. Vancomycin alone provides oxidative stress on the highly metabolic proximal tubular cells. Hydrophobic β-lactams (eg, piperacillin and anti-staphylococcal β-lactams) could have greater OAT-3 mediated uptake into proximal tubular cells than hydrophilic β-lactams (eg, most cephalosporins and carbapenems), thereby causing greater mitochondrial stress on these susceptible cells. It remains to be seen whether concomitant drugs that inhibit OAT-3 mediated cellular uptake of β-lactams into proximal tubular cells or provide antioxidant effects might mitigate β-lactam augmented vancomycin nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, the serum creatinine rise seen with vancomycin and hydrophobic β-lactams might represent competition for creatinine-secreting transporters (of which OAT-3 is one), thus, indicating creatinine retention rather than renal injury. In the meantime, clinicians are advised to utilise less nephrotoxic combinations in both empirical and directed antibiotic selection settings until further research is conducted.

Abstract
During the drug development process, organ toxicity leads to an estimated failure of one-third of novel chemical entities. Drug-induced toxicity is increasingly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, but identifying the underlying molecular mechanisms remains a challenge. Computational modeling techniques have proven to be a good tool in searching for drug off-targets. Here, we aimed to identify mitochondrial off-targets of the nephrotoxic drugs tenofovir and gentamicin using different in silico approaches (KRIPO, ProBis and PDID). Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) were predicted as potential novel off-target sites for tenofovir and gentamicin, respectively. The predicted targets were evaluated in vitro, using (colorimetric) enzymatic activity measurements. Tenofovir did not inhibit DHODH activity, while gentamicin potently reduced PDH activity. In conclusion, the use of in silico methods appeared a valuable approach in predicting PDH as a mitochondrial off-target of gentamicin. Further research is required to investigate the contribution of PDH inhibition to overall renal toxicity of gentamicin.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a key role in kidney physiology and pathology. They produce ATP to fuel energy-demanding water and solute reabsorption processes along the nephron. Moreover, mitochondria contribute to cellular health by the regulation of autophagy, (oxidative) stress responses, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial abundance is particularly high in cortical segments, including proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Dysfunction of the mitochondria has been described for tubulopathies such as Fanconi, Gitelman, and Bartter-like syndromes and renal tubular acidosis. In addition, mitochondrial cytopathies often affect renal (tubular) tissues, such as in Kearns-Sayre and Leigh syndromes. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction results in renal tubular diseases are only scarcely being explored. This review provides an overview of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development and progression of kidney tubulopathies. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for further mechanistic investigations to identify links between mitochondrial function and renal electrolyte reabsorption.

Abstract
Mitochondrial toxicity has been shown to contribute to a variety of organ toxicities such as, brain, heart, kidney, and liver. Ifosfamide (IFO) as an anticancer drug, is associated with increased risk of neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and hemorrhagic cystitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct effect of IFO on isolated mitochondria obtained from the rat brain, heart, kidney, and liver. Mitochondria were isolated with mechanical lysis and differential centrifugation from different organs and treated with various concentrations of IFO. Using biochemical and flowcytometry assays, we evaluated mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, mitochondrial swelling, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Our data showed that IFO did not cause deleterious alterations in mitochondrial functions, mitochondrial swelling, lipid peroxidation ROS formation, and MMP collapse in mitochondria isolated from brain, heart, kidney, and liver. Altogether, the data showed that IFO is not directly toxic in mitochondria isolated from brain, heart, kidney, and liver. This study proved that mitochondria alone does not play the main role in the toxicity of IFO, and suggests to reduce the toxicity of this drug, other pathways resulting in the production of toxic metabolites should be considered.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing trend in the usage of traditional medicine and herbal treatments. However, the misconception that they are completely safe resulted in irreversible complications and damages. The present study was conducted to investigate the potential renal toxicity of a commonly used drug in Iran's traditional medicine and pharmacy, known as Zaravand Gerd or Nokhod Alvand (Aristolochia rotunda L.). In Iranian traditional medicine, Zaravand Gerd is used as a remedy for respiratory system ailments, back pain, anxiety, headache and septic wounds. Fifty-six male rats were divided into seven groups (n = 8). The first group served as the control and received normal saline, while the second to seventh groups were administered varying doses of the aqueous extract of Zaravand Gerd (0.1, 0.5, 1.25, 2.5, and 5 g/kg) for a period of three weeks. Various parameters were measured to evaluate the potential kidney damage caused by the extract, including serum creatinine and BUN levels, as well as urine protein and glucose levels, which were analyzed using an autoanalyzer. Additionally, kidney tissue samples were examined pathologically, and mitochondria from the kidney tissue were isolated to assess mitochondrial parameters. The results of this study revealed that high doses of Zaravand Gerd extract led to a significant increase in urinary glucose and protein excretion compared to the control group. Pathological examination of the isolated kidney tissues indicated that the concentrations of 2.5 and 5 g/kg of Zaravand Gerd extract resulted in kidney damage and dilation of proximal convoluted tubules. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that high doses of the extract (2.5 and 5 g/kg) caused damage to the mitochondria. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the administration of high doses of Zaravand Gerd extract, which are not commonly used in traditional medicine, can have toxic effects on the kidneys in rats as an animal model. These results highlight the importance of considering the potential risks associated with herbal medicines and the necessity of usage based on scientific evidence.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is pivotal in drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Transport proteins embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane form a significant class of potential drug off-targets. So far, most transporter-drug interactions have been reported for the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC). Since it remains unknown to what extent AAC contributes to drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in AKI, we here aimed to better understand the functional role of AAC in the energy metabolism of human renal proximal tubular cells. To this end, CRISPR/Cas9 technology was applied to generate AAC3-/- human conditionally immortalized renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. This AAC3-/- cell model was characterized with respect to mitochondrial function and morphology. To explore whether this model could provide first insights into (mitochondrial) adverse drug effects with suspicion towards AAC-mediated mechanisms, wild-type and knockout cells were exposed to established AAC inhibitors, after which cellular metabolic activity and mitochondrial respiratory capacity were measured. Two AAC3-/- clones showed a significant reduction in ADP import and ATP export rates and mitochondrial mass, without influencing overall morphology. AAC3-/- clones exhibited reduced ATP production, oxygen consumption rates and metabolic spare capacity was particularly affected, mainly in conditions with galactose as carbon source. Chemical AAC inhibition was stronger compared to genetic inhibition in AAC3-/-, suggesting functional compensation by remaining AAC isoforms in our knockout model. In conclusion, our results indicate that ciPTEC-OAT1 cells have a predominantly oxidative phenotype that was not additionally activated by switching energy source. Genetic inhibition of AAC3 particularly impacted mitochondrial spare capacity, without affecting mitochondrial morphology, suggesting an important role for AAC in maintaining the metabolic spare respiration.

Abstract
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (DI-AKI) is one of the leading causes of kidney injury, is associated with high mortality and morbidity, and limits the clinical use of certain therapeutic or diagnostic agents, such as antineoplastic drugs, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and contrast media. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that many Chinese meteria medica, metabolites derived from botanical drugs, and Chinese medicinal formulas confer protective effects against DI-AKI by targeting a variety of cellular or molecular mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory, cell necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. This review summarizes the research status of common DI-AKI with Chinese meteria medica interventions, including cisplatin, gentamicin, contrast agents, methotrexate, and acetaminophen. At the same time, this review introduces the metabolites with application prospects represented by ginseng saponins, tetramethylpyrazine, panax notoginseng saponins, and curcumin. Overall, this review provides a reference for the development of promising nephroprotectants.

Abstract
Ifosfamide (IFO) kidney damage is an important organ toxicity in children and adults undergoing chemotherapy. Previous evidence has shown that IFO toxic metabolites such as acrolein and are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, depletion of antioxidants, oxidative stress and may predispose the kidney to IFO toxicity. Bioactive food compounds such as ellagic acid (EA) found in fruits has been described as antioxidant and mitochondrial protective agents against toxicity-related mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress. In current study, the protective effects of EA on IFO-induced nephrotoxicity in male Wistar rats were investigated with histopathological, biochemical, and mitochondrial methods. The rats were randomly divided into four groups, control, IFO, IFO + EA, and EA groups. EA (25 mg/kg, i.p. daily) were administered to animals for 2 consecutive days and IFO (500 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered on third day. The results showed that pretreatment EA significantly increased mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenases (SDH) activity, and protected mitochondrial swelling, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, lipid peroxidation (LPO) and depletion glutathione (GSH). Histopathological findings demonstrated that EA had protective effects and reduced histopathological abnormalities caused by IFO. These results showed that EA administration protects the kidneys against mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and histopathological abnormality induced by IFO. Taken together, our results demonstrated that EA played a protective role against IFO-induced nephrotoxicity through mitochondrial protection and antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global public health problem. The implementation of evidence-based clinical practices only defers the development of kidney failure. Death, transplantation, or dialysis are the consequences of kidney failure, resulting in a significant burden on the health system. Hence, innovative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed due to the limitations of current interventions. Photobiomodulation (PBM), a form of non-thermal light therapy, effectively mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxidative stress, inflammation, and gut microbiota dysbiosis, all of which are inherent in CKD. Preliminary studies suggest the benefits of PBM in multiple diseases, including CKD. Hence, this review will provide a concise summary of the underlying action mechanisms of PBM and its potential therapeutic effects on CKD. Based on the findings, PBM may represent a novel, non-invasive and non-pharmacological therapy for CKD, although more studies are necessary before PBM can be widely recommended.

Abstract
In line with recent OECD activities on the use of AOPs in developing Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATAs), it is expected that systematic mapping of AOPs leading to systemic toxicity may provide a mechanistic framework for the development and implementation of mechanism-based in vitro endpoints. These may form part of an integrated testing strategy to reduce the need for repeated dose toxicity studies. Focusing on kidney and in particular the proximal tubule epithelium as a key target site of chemical-induced injury, the overall aim of this work is to contribute to building a network of AOPs leading to nephrotoxicity. Current mechanistic understanding of kidney injury initiated by 1) inhibition of mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ (mtDNA Polγ), 2) receptor mediated endocytosis and lysosomal overload, and 3) covalent protein binding, which all present fairly well established, common mechanisms by which certain chemicals or drugs may cause nephrotoxicity, is presented and systematically captured in a formal description of AOPs in line with the OECD AOP development programme and in accordance with the harmonized terminology provided by the Collaborative Adverse Outcome Pathway Wiki. The relative level of confidence in the established AOPs is assessed based on evolved Bradford-Hill weight of evidence considerations of biological plausibility, essentiality and empirical support (temporal and dose-response concordance).

Ochratoxin A as alarming health in livestock and human: A review on molecular interactions, mechanism of toxicity, detection, detoxification, and dietary prophylaxis. Toxicon 2022; 213:59-75. [PMID: 35452686 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2022.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic metabolite produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium fungi commonly found in raw plant sources and other feeds. This review comprises an extensive evaluation of the origin and proprieties of OTA, toxicokinetics, biotransformation, and toxicodynamics of ochratoxins. In in vitro and in vivo studies, the compatibility of OTA with oxidative stress is observed through the production of free radicals, resulting in genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The OTA leads to nephrotoxicity as the chief target organ is the kidney. Other OTA excretion and absorption rates are observed, and the routes of elimination include faeces, urine, and breast milk. The alternations in the Phe moiety of OTA are the precursor for the amino acid alternation, bringing about Phe-hydroxylase and Phe-tRNA synthase, resulting in the complete dysfunction of cellular metabolism. Biodetoxification using specific microorganisms decreased the DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and cytotoxicity. This review addressed the ability of antioxidants and the dietary components as prophylactic measures to encounter toxicity and demonstrated their capability to counteract the chronic exposure through supplementation as feed additives.

Abstract
Drug induced nephrotoxicity is a major clinical challenge, and it is always associated with higher costs for the pharmaceutical industry and due to detection during the late stages of drug development. It is desirable for improving the health outcomes for patients to distinguish nephrotoxic structures at an early stage of drug development. In this study, we focused on in silico prediction and insights into the structural basis of drug induced nephrotoxicity, based on reliable data on human nephrotoxicity. We collected 565 diverse chemical structures, including 287 nephrotoxic drugs on humans in the real world, and 278 non-nephrotoxic approved drugs. Several different machine learning and deep learning algorithms were employed for in silico model building. Then, a consensus model was developed based on three best individual models (RFR_QNPR, XGBOOST_QNPR, and CNF). The consensus model performed much better than individual models on internal validation and it achieved prediction accuracy of 86.24% external validation. The results of analysis of molecular properties differences between nephrotoxic and non-nephrotoxic structures indicated that several key molecular properties differ significantly, including molecular weight (MW), molecular polar surface area (MPSA), AlogP, number of hydrogen bond acceptors (nHBA), molecular solubility (LogS), the number of rotatable bonds (nRotB), and the number of aromatic rings (nAR). These molecular properties may be able to play an important part in the identification of nephrotoxic chemicals. Finally, 87 structural alerts for chemical nephrotoxicity were mined with f-score and positive rate analysis of substructures from Klekota-Roth fingerprint (KRFP). These structural alerts can well identify nephrotoxic drug structures in the data set. The in silico models and the structural alerts could be freely accessed via https://ochem.eu/article/140251 and http://www.sapredictor.cn, respectively. We hope the results should provide useful tools for early nephrotoxicity estimation in drug development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury is a common occurrence in patients with sepsis and portends a high mortality as well as increased morbidity with numerous sequelae including the development of chronic kidney disease. Currently, there are no specific therapies that either prevent AKI or hasten its recovery. Thus, clinicians typically rely on management of the underlying infection, optimization of hemodynamic parameters as well as avoidance of nephrotoxins to maximize outcomes. AREAS COVERED Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of sepsis as well as how these pathways may interact to lead to acute kidney injury have opened the door to the development of new, targeted therapies. This review focuses on the operative pathways in sepsis that have been identified as critical in leading to acute kidney injury and associated therapeutic agents that target these pathways. EXPERT OPINION Despite increased understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis, development of effective therapeutics to decrease the incidence of AKI have lagged. This is likely due to the complex pathophysiology with overlapping pathways and need for multiple therapies guided by specific biomarkers. Biomarkers that detail operative pathways may be able to guide the institution of more specific therapies with the hope for improved outcomes.

Abstract
Kidney is one of the most important organs in maintaining the normal life activities. With the high abundance of mitochondria, renal tubular cell plays the vital role in functioning in the reabsorption and secretion of kidney. Reports have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is of great importance to renal tubular cell senescence and subsequent kidney ageing. However, the underlying mechanisms are not elucidated. Cannabinoid receptor 2 is one of the two receptors responsible for the activation of endocannabinoid system. CB2 is primarily upregulated in renal tubular cells in chronic kidney diseases and mediates fibrogenesis. However, the role of CB2 in tubular mitochondrial dysfunction and kidney ageing has not been clarified. In this study, we found that CB2 was upregulated in kidneys in 24‐month‐old mice and d‐galactose (d‐gal)‐induced accelerated ageing mice, accompanied by the decrease in mitochondrial mass. Furthermore, gene deletion of CB2 in d‐gal‐treated mice could greatly inhibit the activation of β‐catenin signalling and restore the mitochondrial integrity and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. In CB2 knockout mice, renal tubular cell senescence and kidney fibrosis were also significantly inhibited. CB2 overexpression or activation by the agonist AM1241 could sufficiently induce the decrease in PGC‐1α and a variety of mitochondria‐related proteins and trigger cellular senescence in cultured human renal proximal tubular cells. CB2‐activated mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence could be blocked by ICG‐001, a blocker for β‐catenin signalling. These results show CB2 plays a central role in renal tubular mitochondrial dysfunction and kidney ageing. The intrinsic mechanism may be related to its activation in β‐catenin signalling.

Abstract
Drug induced kidney injury is one of the leading causes of failure of drug development programs in the clinic. Early prediction of renal toxicity potential of drugs is crucial to the success of drug candidates in the clinic. The dynamic nature of the functioning of the kidney and the presence of drug uptake proteins introduce additional challenges in the prediction of renal injury caused by drugs. Renal injury due to drugs can be caused by a wide variety of mechanisms and can be broadly classified as toxic or obstructive. Several biomarkers are available for in vitro and in vivo detection of renal injury. In vitro static and dynamic (microfluidic) cellular models and preclinical models can provide valuable information regarding the toxicity potential of drugs. Differences in pharmacology and subsequent disconnect in biomarker response, differences in the expression of transporter and enzyme proteins between in vitro to in vivo systems and between preclinical species and humans are some of the limitations of current experimental models. The progress in microfluidic (kidney-on-chip) platforms in combination with the ability of 3-dimensional cell culture can help in addressing some of these issues in the future. Finally, newer in silico and computational techniques like physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and machine learning have demonstrated potential in assisting prediction of drug induced kidney injury.
