Cyst Growth

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is characterized by cyst formation and growth, which are partially driven by abnormal proliferation of tubular cells. Proproliferative mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2) are activated in the kidneys of mice with PKD. Sirolimus indirectly inhibits mTORC1. Novel mTOR kinase inhibitors directly inhibit mTOR kinase, resulting in the inhibition of mTORC1 and mTORC2. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sirolimus versus the mTOR kinase inhibitor torin2 on cyst growth and kidney function in the Pkd1 p.R3277C ( Pkd1RC/RC) mouse model, a hypomorphic Pkd1 model orthologous to the human condition, and to determine the effects of sirolimus versus torin2 on mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling in PKD1−/− cells and in the kidneys of Pkd1RC/RC mice. In vitro, both inhibitors reduced mTORC1 and mTORC2 phosphorylated substrates and negatively impacted cellular metabolic activity, as measured by MTT assay. Pkd1RC/RC mice were treated with sirolimus or torin2 from 50 to 120 days of age. Torin2 was as effective as sirolimus in decreasing cyst growth and improving loss of kidney function. Both sirolimus and torin2 decreased phosphorylated S6 protein, phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1, phosphorylated Akt, and proliferation in Pkd1RC/RC kidneys. In conclusion, torin2 and sirolimus were equally effective in decreasing cyst burden and improving kidney function and mediated comparable effects on mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling and proliferation in the Pkd1RC/RC kidney.

Abstract Background Height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) is considered as the best predictor of kidney function in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), but its limited predictive capacity stresses the need to find new biomarkers of ADPKD progression. The aim of this study was to investigate urinary biomarkers of ADPKD progression. Methods This observational study included ADPKD patients, and two comparator groups of ischaemic and non-ischaemic kidney injury: benign nephroangiosclerosis patients and non-ischaemic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Proteinuria, htTKV and urinary levels of molecules are associated with ischaemia and/or tubular injury. The slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was used as a dependent variable in univariate and multivariate models of kidney function decline. Results The study included 130 patients with ADPKD, 55 with nephroangiosclerosis and 40 with non-ischaemic CKD. All patients had increased urinary concentrations of biomarkers associated with tubular lesions (liver fatty acid-binding protein, kidney injury molecule-1, β2-microglobulin) and molecules overexpressed under ischaemic conditions [hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)]. These biomarkers correlated positively with htTKV and negatively with the eGFR slope. htTKV was the single best predictor of the eGFR slope variability in univariate analyses. However, a multivariate model including urinary levels of β2-microglobulin, MCP-1 and VEGF improved the capacity to predict the decline of eGFR in ADPKD patients compared with htTKV alone. Conclusions The urinary levels of molecules associated with either renal ischaemia (VEGF and MCP-1) or tubular damage (β2-microglobulin) are associated with renal function deterioration in ADPKD patients, and are, therefore, candidates as biomarkers of ADPKD progression.
