Background
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common form of AKI with poor outcomes. Both differential diagnosis and management of septic AKI are unresolved issues. Our aim was to study the temporal profile of the renal proteome changes in bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI.
Methods
Male NMRI mice were injected with LPS or saline (control). AKI was studied at early (EP, 1.5 and 6 h after LPS at 40 mg/kg i.p.) and late phases (LP, 24 and 48 h after LPS at 10 mg/kg i.p.) by HPLC-MS/MS screening. Renal mRNA expression of 13 acute phase proteins (APP) was measured by qPCR.
Results
AKI was indicated by increased renal TNFα, IL-6 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (Lcn-2) mRNA expression from 1.5 h after endotoxin administration. At 24 and at 48 h 53% of the top 30 significantly upregulated proteins were APPs, with complement C3, fibrinogen, haptoglobin and hemopexin demonstrating the greatest increases. LPS upregulated renal ceruloplasmin and haptoglobin mRNA expression from 1.5 h, and fibrinogen-α, -β, -γ, serum amyloid A, hemopexin, ferritin heavy chain and inter alpha-trypsin inhibitor 4 mRNA from 6 h. Complement C3 and transferrin mRNA were upregulated only in LP. Expression of most APP mRNAs peaked at 24 h and some mRNA started to recover by 48 h. Albumin mRNA was downregulated in LP.
Conclusion
Our proteomic analysis demonstrated a marked upregulation of local renal APR that commenced a few hours after treatment and peaked at 24 h in LPS-induced AKI in mice. Many more APPs were involved in the renal APR than previously identified.
