Abstract
Salusin-β is abundantly expressed in many organs and tissues including heart, blood vessels, brain and kidneys. Recent studies have identified salusin-β as a bioactive peptide that contributes to various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, the role of salusin-β in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is largely unclear. In the present study, we investigated the roles of salusin-β in cisplatin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced renal injury. Herein, we found that salusin-β expression was upregulated in both renal tubular cells and kidney tissues induced by both cisplatin and LPS.

, silencing of salusin-β diminished, whereas overexpression of salusin-β exaggerated the increased PKC phosphorylation, oxidative stress, histone γH2AX expression, p53 activation and apoptosis in either cisplatin or LPS-challenged renal tubular cells. More importantly, salusin-β overexpression-induced tubular cell apoptosis were abolished by using the PKC inhibitor Go 6976, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger NAC, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor apocynin (Apo) or p53 inhibitor Pifithrin-α. In animals, blockade of salusin-β alleviated PKC phosphorylation, ROS accumulation, DNA damage, and p53 activation as well as renal dysfunction in mice after administration of cisplatin or LPS. Taken together, these results suggest that overexpressed salusin-β is deleterious in AKI by activation of the PKC/ROS signaling pathway, thereby priming renal tubular cells for apoptosis and death.</p>

<abstract id="abs0010"><p>Salusin-β is abundantly expressed in many organs and tissues including heart, blood vessels, brain and kidneys. Recent studies have identified salusin-β as a bioactive peptide that contributes to various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, the role of salusin-β in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is largely unclear. In the present study, we investigated the roles of salusin-β in cisplatin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced renal injury. Herein, we found that salusin-β expression was upregulated in both renal tubular cells and kidney tissues induced by both cisplatin and LPS. <italic>In vitro</italic>
, silencing of salusin-β diminished, whereas overexpression of salusin-β exaggerated the increased PKC phosphorylation, oxidative stress, histone γH2AX expression, p53 activation and apoptosis in either cisplatin or LPS-challenged renal tubular cells. More importantly, salusin-β overexpression-induced tubular cell apoptosis were abolished by using the PKC inhibitor Go 6976, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger NAC, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor apocynin (Apo) or p53 inhibitor Pifithrin-α. In animals, blockade of salusin-β alleviated PKC phosphorylation, ROS accumulation, DNA damage, and p53 activation as well as renal dysfunction in mice after administration of cisplatin or LPS. Taken together, these results suggest that overexpressed salusin-β is deleterious in AKI by activation of the PKC/ROS signaling pathway, thereby priming renal tubular cells for apoptosis and death.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p id="p0030">Acute kidney injury (AKI) is manifested by a sharp decline in renal function that threats millions of patients with high mortality and morbidity [<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Currently, it is believed that several factors are involved in the pathogenesis of AKI, including renal venous congestion, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, coagulation cascade activation, renal hypoperfusion and microcirculatory disturbance [<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
]. Despite of the current understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of AKI is constantly growing; the effective pharmacological strategies for the treatment of AKI are still not available [<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
].</p>
<p id="p0035">Acute tubular epithelial cell apoptosis is an important characteristic of AKI induced by various stimuli, such as hypoxic environment, chemical drugs, hemodynamic changes and mechanical stress [<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. Cisplatin is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic drugs to treat solid tumors in multiple organs such as lung, bladder, ovarian, head and neck, cervical, ovaries, and testicular [<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. However, severe adverse effects are observed in normal tissues, notably nephrotoxicity in the kidneys [<xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. It is reported that more than 30% of patients may suffer from the symptoms of AKI after administration of cisplatin [<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. The underlying mechanisms of cisplatin-induced AKI are very complicated, but massive renal proximal tubular cell death, including cell necrosis and apoptosis, nuclear DNA injury, oxidative stress inflammatory response and activation of apoptotic cascades are involved [<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
]. Epidemiological analysis has shown that sepsis is a major cause for AKI in patients, and the mortality of sepsis-related AKI is up to 70% [<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. As an important component of cell wall of most Gramnegative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is able to mimic sepsis-related AKI in animals via triggering enormous cytokine synthesis, excessive oxidative stress, renal hypoperfusion, which eventually leads to a rapid decline in renal function [<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]. As a result, in this study, both cisplatin and LPS were used to establish two rodent models of AKI.</p>
<p id="p0040">Salusin-β, a multifunctional bioactive peptide with 20 amino acid residues [<xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
], plays a critical role in atherosclerosis, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome [<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Salusin-β is widely expressed in the brain, heart, blood vessels, livers and kidneys [<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">[16]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
]. The circulating levels of salusin-β are particularly higher in patients with coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension than that of control healthy subjects [<xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
,<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. From cellular, animal, and clinical experiments, salusin-β exerts a pro-atherogenic role via promoting macrophage foam cell formation [<xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
]. Salusin-β is a potential stimulator for induction of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in cardiovascular system [<xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
,<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Overexpression of salusin-β contributes the development of hypertension [<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
] and atherosclerosis [<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. By contrast, silencing of salusin-β ameliorated the progress of heart failure [<xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
], hypertension [<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
], and intimal hyperplasia after vascular injury [<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]. Likewise, blockade of salusin-β with its specific antibody improves pulmonary arterial hypertension [<xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
], attenuates hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy [<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
], and enhances angiogenesis after myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury [<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. These existing studies have shown that endogenous salusin-β may be a critical regulator under disease conditions. However, whether treatment with salusin-β antibody could ameliorate AKI is still unknown. Given that salusin-β is a fundamental contributor to oxidative stress and inflammatory response, and both of which are critically involved in the pathogenesis of AKI. Thus, we hypothesized that salusin-β might participate in the process of AKI in association with elevated oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether salusin-β is induced in the kidneys from cisplatin or LPS-treated mice. By using gain- and loss-of-function approaches, we also sought to examine the potential roles of salusin-β in cisplatin or LPS-induced nephropathy, as well as the underlying mechanisms.</p>

Equal amount of protein extracts were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking with 5% nonfat milk, the membranes were probed with required primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, the immunoblots were visualized with ECL reagents according to the manufacturer's instructions.

<p id="p0110">Rac1 activity was measured using a Rac1 activation assay kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Briefly, the protein sample concentrations were measured by using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Protein p21-activated protein kinase 1 (Pak 1) is able to bind active Rac1 form. The same total protein in each protein (1 mg) was mixed with 10 μl PAK-1 PBD (a GST fusion protein corresponding to the p21-binding domain (PBD) of human PAK-1) agarose beads for 1 h at 4 °C. Active (GTP-bound) Rac is specially combined with the p21-binding domain of p21-activated protein kinase 1. Precipitated GST bound Rac1 agarose beads were resuspended in 40 μL of 2 × reducing sample buffer and boiled for 5 min. The bound proteins were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using anti-Rac1 antibody (1:1000, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA).</p>

<title>Expressions of salusin-β in cisplatin or LPS-treated renal tubular cells and mice</title>
<p id="p0120">During cisplatin challenge, the protein and mRNA level of salusin-β was progressively increased in a time-dependent manner when compared to controls (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>

Compared with control mice, both protein level and mRNA expressions of salusin-β are elevated in the kidney of cisplatin-induced mice (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>

Similar to the results from cisplatin-induced AKI, LPS exposure significantly incremented the expressions of salusin-β at both protein level and mRNA levels in both renal tubular cells and kidneys (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S1C,D&S2</xref>

<title>Effects of salusin-β knockdown or overexpression on cisplatin-induced renal tubular cell damage</title>
<p id="p0125">The effects of salusin-β were first examined in renal tubular epithelial cells. Adenoviral vectors encoding salusin-β shRNA or lentivirus expressing salusin-β were used to knockdown or overexpress salusin-β. Specific knockdown or overexpression of salusin-β in tubular epithelial cells was confirmed at the mRNA and protein expressions (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S1G&H</xref>
). Incubation of tubular cells with cisplatin remarkably reduced cell viability and enhanced LDH release, this effect was almost completely abolished by salusin-β shRNA treatment (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S3A&B</xref>
). By contrast, ectopic overexpression of salusin-β further deteriorated the effect of cisplatin on cell viability and LDH release (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S3C&D</xref>
). Interestingly, salusin-β deficiency alone had no effect on cell viability of tubular cells, while salusin-β overexpression alone led to decreased cell viability and increased LDH release in tubular cells (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S3C&D</xref>
), suggesting that endogenous salusin-β overproduction may be toxic to renal tubular cells. As expected, silencing of salusin-β alleviated the effect of cisplatin on renal tubular cell injury, as demonstrated by diminished tubular cell injury markers including kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>

<p id="p0130">Apoptotic pathway is a critical molecular mechanism that participates in cisplatin or LPS-induced nephrotoxicity, and the pro-apoptotic protein including Bax, cleaved-PARP and cleaved-caspase-3, as well as anti-apoptotic proteins including Bcl-2 are served as important players in initiating the apoptotic response [<xref rid="bib47" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
]. Next, we examined the effects of salusin-β knockdown or overexpression on cisplatin-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis. The cisplatin-caused increases in caspase-3 activity (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
B) and TUNEL-positive cell numbers (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. 2C&D</xref>
) were largely reduced by gene deletion of salusin-β. These findings were further supported by measurement of apoptosis-related proteins. As shown in <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
E–H, cisplatin injury significantly elevated the expressions of proteins related to cell apoptosis including Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP. However, the levels of anti-apoptosis related protein Bcl-2 were downregulated in response to cisplatin challenge. Moreover, we observed that cisplatin-mediated imbalance between anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins could be reversed by gene knockdown of salusin-β (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
E–H). Apart from this, flow cytometry results further confirmed that deficiency of salusin-β markedly attenuated cisplatin-induced tubular cell apoptosis (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S4</xref>

]. A critical contributor to DNA damage is p53, due to a fact that increased p53 accumulation and phosphorylation may directly induce DNA damage [<xref rid="bib49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
]. After incubation of cisplatin in renal tubular cells, the DNA damage marker γH2AX, total and phosphorylated p53 expressions as well as p53 targeted proapoptotic genes Puma and Bax tended to be higher, this increase was obviously antagonized by loss of salusin-β (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>

). In line with these results, the increased renal tubular cell injury markers including KIM-1 and NGAL, caspases-3 activity, TUNEL-positive cells, and the activation of DNA damage/p53 apoptotic signaling pathway were observed in LPS-challenged renal tubular cells, and these changes were obstructed by deficiency of salusin-β (<xref rid="appsec1" ref-type="sec">Fig. S5C&S8</xref>

<title>Effects of salusin-β knockdown or overexpression on cisplatin-induced oxidative stress</title>
<p id="p0150">It is generally accepted that the development and progression of both acute and chronic kidney diseases may be primarily attributed to the imbalanced molecular mechanisms that govern oxidative stress [<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
]. The superoxide anions-mediated renal tubules damage may be an important contributor to the progression of AKI [<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
]. In light of oxidative stress, salusin-β is recently proposed as an oxidation inducer in brain tissues, VSMCs and endothelial cells in multiple disease scenarios [<xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>

<title>Effects of salusin-β inhibition on renal function after AKI</title>
<p id="p0190">To investigate the effects of salusin-β inhibition on renal damage induced by cisplatin or LPS, the kidney tissues were collected after administration of cisplatin or LPS. In comparison with control kidneys, the kidneys from cisplatin or LPS treatment exhibited tubular dilatation, brush border loss and cell lysis. Strikingly, the abnormal histological lesions were significantly ameliorated in the presence of salusin-β antibody, as demonstrated by HE staining and PAS staining (<xref rid="fig8" ref-type="fig">Fig. 8</xref>

D–F). To further clarify the protective role of salusin-β antibody in cisplatin or LPS-induced renal tubule injury, we examined the tubular injury markers including Fg, KIM-1 and NGAL in the kidneys. As expected, the upsurge of Fg, KIM-1 and NGAL by cisplatin or LPS was diminished with the treatment of salusin-β antibody (<xref rid="fig8" ref-type="fig">Fig. 8</xref>

<p id="p0195">Additionally, TUNEL assay was used to detect the cell apoptosis in cisplatin or LPS-induced renal injury. More TUNEL-positive tubular cells were observed in the kidneys after cisplatin or LPS treatment, which were relieved by the neutralizing salusin-β antibody (<xref rid="fig8" ref-type="fig">Fig. 8</xref>
J and K). We also found that the proteins levels related to cell apoptosis, such as Bax, cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP, were upregulated in the kidneys of cisplatin or LPS-treated mice, but such protein expressions were downregulated by blockade of salusin-β (<xref rid="fig8" ref-type="fig">Fig. 8</xref>

<title>Effects of salusin-β inhibition on oxidative stress and inflammation after AKI</title>
<p id="p0205">Several studies have revealed that AKI-induced renal oxidative stress is primarily mediated by decreasing antioxidant enzyme activity, depleting intracellular concentrations of GSH [<xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
], and potentiating the Rac1/NADPH oxidase pathway [<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,<xref rid="bib62" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
]. DHE staining results showed that anti-salusin-β antibody therapy obviously decreased the excessive ROS production in the kidneys of cisplatin or LPS-treated mice (<xref rid="fig10" ref-type="fig">Fig. 10</xref>
A&B). The cisplatin or LPS-stimulated kidneys exhibited higher increases in nitrotyrosine content, NADPH oxidase activity, superoxide anions levels and MDA contents, whereas this rise was prevented by pretreatment with the neutralizing salusin-β antibody (<xref rid="fig10" ref-type="fig">Fig. 10</xref>

], are well-known two indicators for assessment of oxidative stress. In line with the above results, in cisplatin or LPS-induced AKI mice, we found that increased renal 8-iso-PGF-2α and 15-F2t-isoprostane production were concomitant with decreased activities of SOD, CAT and GSH in the kidneys, while these effects were again reversed by inhibition of salusin-β (<xref rid="fig10" ref-type="fig">Fig. 10</xref>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p id="p0220">In the present study, we investigated whether salusin-β mediated acute renal dysfunction induced by cisplatin or LPS, as well as the underlying mechanisms. Our results found that both cisplatin and LPS elevated the renal level of endogenous salusin-β, and treatment with neutralizing the salusin-β antibody ameliorated renal dysfunction and renal tubular cell apoptosis through inhibiting the PKC/ROS pathway. <italic>In vitro</italic>
results showed that deletion of salusin-β alleviated, while overexpression of salusin-β aggravated PKC phosphorylation, oxidative stress, γH2AX-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells induced by either cisplatin or LPS. Moreover, inhibition of the PKC/ROS/DNA damage/p53 apoptotic pathway antagonized salusin-β overexpression-evoked renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. These results suggested that endogenous salusin-β contributed to the pathogenesis of AKI via activation of the PKC/ROS/DNA damage/p53 apoptotic pathway. However, it should be emphasized that the different mechanisms of increased oxidative stress may be present in AKI mice induced by either cisplatin or LPS. As a result, we will focus on the exact roles and mechanisms of salusin-β in one of the AKI models during our future research.</p>
<p id="p0225">The sepsis, ischemia or nephrotoxic agents-induced AKI is a clinical disorder that is characterized by rapid and reversible kidney dysfunction [<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>
]. It is recognized that unconscionable oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis are synergistically involved in the pathogenesis of AKI, and this may eventually participate in the development and progression of chronic kidney disease [<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,<xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>
]. Cisplatin chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity and LPS-induced sepsis are taken as classical animal models of AKI [<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]. The two AKI mouse models exhibit tubular cell apoptosis, necrosis, oxidative stress, inflammatory storm, thus leading to the renal dysfunction [<xref rid="bib36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
,<xref rid="bib69" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
]. In this study, we found that salusin-β levels were upregulated in both kidneys of AKI mice and cultured renal tubular epithelial cells exposed to cisplatin or LPS. In cisplatin and LPS-induced AKI mice, the abnormal morphological changes of renal tubules and renal dysfunction markers were obviously attenuated by blockade of salusin-β in line with suppression of renal cellular apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation response. The increased cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and DNA damage in cisplatin or LPS-challenged renal tubular epithelial cells were eradicated by salusin-β knockdown, but exacerbated by salusin-β overexpression. Both <italic>in vivo</italic>
and <italic>in vitro</italic>
data demonstrated that salusin-β gene may play a critical role in the development and progression of AKI. However, the mechanisms that underlie AKI-induced salusin-β expressions in the kidneys are still unclear. It is interesting to know whether oxidative stress is involved in AKI-induced salusin-β upregulations. Based on our previous studies, we found that salusin-β expressions were not affected by ROS production as scavenging ROS had no significant effect on the expressions of salusin-β [<xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
,<xref rid="bib55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
], suggesting that the expression of salusin-β is not regulated by ROS. As a consequence, the precise mechanisms by which salusin-β is overexpressed in two different AKI models warrant further studies in the future.</p>
<p id="p0230">As no specific inhibitor or antagonist of salusin-β has been available until now, anti-salusin-β antibodies are employed to determine the roles of endogenous salusin-β in hypertension [<xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
,<xref rid="bib70" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>
], myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury [<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
], and pulmonary arterial hypertension [<xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
]. The specificity of the salusin-β staining is assessed by pre-absorption of the antibody with the full-length salusin-β, which completely abolishes salusin-β staining [<xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
,<xref rid="bib72" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>
]. In this study, we found that intraperitoneal injection of anti-salusin-β antibodies ameliorated AKI-induced renal dysfunction in mice. It is likely that anti-salusin-β therapy has a possibility to treat AKI. However, the underlying mechanisms of anti-salusin-β antibodies in renal protective effects remain unclear. Similarly, it is unknown how they cross the blood-tissue barrier. It is noteworthy that the circulating salusin-β level was augmented in AKI mice induced by both cisplatin and LPS. Bases on this, the elevated circulating salusin-β level might be an important player in the development of AKI. We speculated that exogenous anti-salusin-β antibodies could bind to soluble circulating salusin-β, thereby attenuating the deleterious effects of redundant salusin-β on renal damage in AKI mice. Moreover, we can not exclude a possibility that the beneficial actions of anti-salusin-β antibodies on acute renal injury were dependent on their binding to renal tubular cell surface membrane protein complex. As a result, further research is required to determine the exact mechanisms of anti-salusin-β antibodies against LPS and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.</p>
<p id="p0235">It is evidenced that DNA damage could activate various cell signaling cascades for cell senescence, and/or death [<xref rid="bib73" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>
]. Recent studies have revealed that DNA damage response plays a pivotal role in renal tubular cell apoptosis induced by experimental models of AKI [<xref rid="bib74" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>
]. In mammalian system, histone H2AX phosphorylation, also called γH2AX, is a common hallmark of DNA damage [<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. The induction of γH2AX is detected in kidneys following ischemia-reperfusion or cisplatin administration, further implying the importance of DNA damage in the process of AKI [<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. It is known that p53 gene is a master player in DNA damage-induced cell apoptosis, because DNA damage could lead to p53 accumulation and phosphorylation, as well as subsequent upregulations of pro-apoptotic genes [<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
,<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>
]. In line with previous reports, we found that the γH2AX levels, total and phosphorylated p53 protein levels, as well as the pro-apoptotic genes Puma and Bax were obviously boosted in renal tubular epithelial cells exposed either cisplatin or LPS. However, these effects were considerably inhibited by silencing of salusin-β. Conversely, overexpression of salusin-β further worsened these abnormal changes. In agreement with these results, the DNA damage, activation of p53 and renal cell apoptosis in the kidneys from AKI models were significantly counteracted by administration of neutralizing salusin-β antibody. All these results clearly demonstrated that salusin-β may activate the DNA damage/p53/apoptosis pathway, thus contributing to renal cell apoptosis and renal dysfunction in AKI models. However, it should bear in mind that γH2AX has a quick response to damage, and it resolves after 24 or 48 h in acute conditions when the DNA repair machinery is working well [<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>
]. Moreover, the accumulation of high levels of γH2AX at later time points might indicate defects on DNA repair [<xref rid="bib77" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>
]. However, changes in the mechanism of DNA repair are not fully studied or discussed. The proximal tubule DNA damage response is activated when one or more of the sensor kinases detect a DNA strand break, and such sensor kinases include ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR), and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) [<xref rid="bib78" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>
,<xref rid="bib79" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>
]. A very recent study has established that activation of proximal tubule ATR confers protective effects against the maladaptive DNA repair and consequent renal fibrosis induced by kidney injury [<xref rid="bib80" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>
]. For this reason, it will be interesting to determine the potential roles of salusin-β in the ATM/ATR response in future studies.</p>
<p id="p0240">Notably, salusin-β overexpression facilitated DNA damage, p53 activation and cell apoptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells even in the absence of cisplatin or LPS. Moreover, the salusin-β overexpression-induced renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and injury was markedly halted by a p53 inhibitor Pifithrin-α. This suggests that salusin-β overproduction was not only a critical mediator for nephrotoxic agents-induced kidney injury, but also elicited kidney injury directly. Future studies are required to investigate the abnormal expression of salusin-β under other conditions such as renal ischemia/reperfusion injury or chronic kidney disease.</p>
<p id="p0245">Oxidative stress is defined as excessive generation of ROS and nitrogen species due to an imbalance between pro-oxidant protein expressions and antioxidant protein expressions [<xref rid="bib81" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>
]. NADPH oxidase is an enzyme complex with the function of producing superoxide anion and ROS at the expense of NADPH [<xref rid="bib82" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>
]. Of NADPH oxidase subunits, p47<sup>phox</sup>
plays the most important role for oxidative stress via translocating the cytosolic subunits to the membrane [<xref rid="bib82" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>
]. The massive productions of ROS and nitrogen species result in the oxidation of biological molecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA [<xref rid="bib83" ref-type="bibr">83</xref>
]. Several studies have demonstrated that overproduction of ROS may be mediated mainly by NADPH oxidase activation and reduced activities of antioxidants including SOD, CAT and GSH, this can initiate or potentiate the development of AKI [<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,<xref rid="bib69" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
,<xref rid="bib84" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>
]. As a regulatory component of the NADPH oxidase complex, Rac1 is critically involved in the formation of ROS and progression of AKI [<xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">85</xref>
,<xref rid="bib86" ref-type="bibr">86</xref>
]. Most importantly, the underlying mechanisms for AKI-induced renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis may also involve ROS-mediated DNA damage pathway [<xref rid="bib87" ref-type="bibr">87</xref>
]. Thus, we hypothesized that ROS-induced DNA damage/p53 pathway might be a possible mechanism that underlies salusin-β overexpression-mediated renal injury. Not surprisingly, we found that the elevated membrane translocation of p47<sup>phox</sup>
, activated Rac-1, increased NADPH oxidase-derived ROS, and decreased anti-oxidase activities in cisplatin or LPS-treated renal tubular epithelial cells were reversed by gene deficiency of salusin-β, but were deteriorated by overexpression of salusin-β. In cisplatin or LPS-challenged kidneys, inhibition of salusin-β significantly relieved oxidative damage as shown by the restoration of anti-oxidase activities, together with the blockade of ROS production and nitrogen species, as well as inactivation of Rac1 and NADPH oxidase. Noticeably, we observed that salusin-β overexpression failed to promote DNA damage/p53-mediated tubular cell apoptosis when the Rac1/NADPH oxidase/ROS axis was inhibited, suggesting that salusin-β contributed to cisplatin or LPS-caused nephrotoxicity by facilitating NADPH oxidase-derived ROS generation, followed by activation of DNA damage/p53 apoptotic cascades.</p>
<p id="p0250">The classical PKC signaling pathway is an upstream mediator for excessive ROS production in the development of kidney injury [<xref rid="bib56" ref-type="bibr">[56]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib57" ref-type="bibr">[57]</xref>
, <xref rid="bib58" ref-type="bibr">[58]</xref>
,<xref rid="bib88" ref-type="bibr">88</xref>
]. Activation of the PKC/NADPH oxidase/ROS signaling pathway plays a pathogenic role in salusin-β-induced hypertension in rats [<xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. On these grounds, we hypothesized that salusin-β activated the PKC pathway to trigger ROS overproduction and subsequent oxidative damage in HK-2 cells. In the present study, we demonstrated that the phosphorylated PKC level was enhanced in HK-2 cells exposed to either cisplatin or LPS, this effect was impeded by silencing of salusin-β, but was exacerbated by overexpression of salusin-β. More importantly, the PKC inhibitor experiments supported that the PKC pathway was required for salusin-β-induced membrane translocation of p47<sup>phox</sup>
, and activation of NADPH oxidase/DNA damage/p53 apoptotic cascades in HK-2 cells. These results suggested the involvement of the classical PKC pathway in salusin-β-mediated responses after cisplatin or LPS stimulation in HK-2 cells. However, further studies are necessary to investigate the roles of the specific PKC isoforms in the underlying mechanism of salusin-β-mediated oxidative stress in renal tubular cells.</p>
<p id="p0255">Taken together, our findings demonstrated that salusin-β gene was responsible for cisplatin or LPS-induced nephrotoxicity by activating the PKC/ROS/DNA damage/p53 apoptotic pathway. The upregulations of phosphorylated PKC, NOX4, p47<sup>phox</sup>
and p22<sup>phox</sup>
proteins, membrane translocation of p47<sup>phox</sup>
, activation of Rac1, reduced activities of antioxidises including SOD, CAT and GSH, were proposed as potential cellular mechanisms by which salusin-β induced oxidative stress in the process of AKI. Blockade or knockout of salusin-β may open up new fields for the prevention and treatment of AKI. However, a previous report has shown that subcutaneous administration of salusin-β reverses glomerular and tubular damage in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury, another model of AKI [<xref rid="bib89" ref-type="bibr">89</xref>
]. Contradictory to our present data, the authors demonstrated that the level of salusin-β was decreased in the serum and kidney tissues from rats with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury [<xref rid="bib89" ref-type="bibr">89</xref>
]. It seems that salusin-β may play a distinct role in different AKI models. The contradictory results may be derived from distinct AKI models, different species (rats/mouse) or administration methods of drugs (intraperitoneal/subcutaneous injection). In renal ischemia/reperfusion injury model, ischemia/hypoxia and restoration of oxygen supply eventually cause renal damage and acute renal failure [<xref rid="bib90" ref-type="bibr">90</xref>
,<xref rid="bib91" ref-type="bibr">91</xref>
]. It may be interesting to ascertain that whether salusin-β functions as an acute oxygen sensor in response to renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. The complicated results indicated that salusin-β may be a contributor to chemical/drug nephrotoxicity in mice, whereas salusin-β exhibited therapeutic potential for acute renal failure in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury rats. More research is needed to investigate exact roles of salusin-β in AKI using renal tubular epithelial cell specific salusin-β overexpression or salusin-β knockout animals.</p>
