Assessment of Aspartate and Bicarbonate Produced From Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate as Markers of Renal Gluconeogenesis

Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

As both a consumer and producer of glucose, the kidney plays a significant role in glucose homeostasis. Measuring renal gluconeogenesis requires invasive techniques, and less invasive methods would allow renal gluconeogenesis to be measured more routinely. ...

Differential role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency in acute and chronic kidney disease

Joseph Rutkowski, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Elena Katsyuba, Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Background. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a ubiquitous coenzyme involved in electron transport and a cosubstrate for sirtuin function. NAD(+) deficiency has been demonstrated in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods. We studied ...

Rapid Progression of Kidney Dysfunction in People Living With HIV: Use of Polygenic and Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) Risk Scores

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background In people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), it is unknown whether genetic background associates with rapid progression of kidney dysfunction (ie, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decrease of >5mL/min/1.73m(2) per year for >= 3 ...

Role of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 and interacting factors in cystic kidney diseases

Daniel Constam, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Gagnieux

Polycystic kidneys frequently associate with mutations in individual components of cilia, basal bodies or centriolar satellites that perturb complex protein networks. In this review, we focus on the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 (BICC1) which was found m ...

Renal tubular arginase-2 participates in the formation of the corticomedullary urea gradient and attenuates kidney damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Dmitri Firsov, Jean-Luc Barras, Nicolas Dattner, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Aim Arginase 2 (ARG2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis ofl-arginine into urea andl-ornithine. In the kidney, ARG2 is localized to the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. It has been shown that expression and activity of this enzyme are up ...

In vivo detection of d-amino acid oxidase with hyperpolarized d-[1-C-13]alanine

Rolf Gruetter, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

d-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of several neutral and basic d-amino acids to their corresponding alpha-keto acids. In most mammalian species studied, high DAO activity is found in the kidney, liv ...
