Summary: | Early endothelial outgrowth cells (eEOCs) reproducibly have been shown to act protectively in acute ischemic kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney injury. Bone morphogenetic protein-5 (BMP-5) acted antifibrotically in human hypertensive nephropathy. The aim of the current study was to analyze effects of BMP-5 treatment in an eEOC-based therapy of murine AKI and 5/6-nephrectomy. Male C57/Bl6N mice were either subjected to unilateral renal artery clamping postuninephrectomy or to 5/6-nephrectomy. Untreated or BMP-5-pretreated murine eEOCs were injected into recipient animals at the time of reperfusion (AKI) or at 2 and 5 days after 5/6-nephrectomy. Analysis of renal function and morphology was performed at 48 h and at 6 wk (AKI) or at 8 wk (5/6 model). Cellular consequences of eEOC treatment were evaluated using different in vitro assays. AKI was mitigated significantly by injecting BMP-5-pretreated eEOCs. Renal function was improved at 48 h [corrected] after cell therapy. In 5/6-nephrectomy, the cells failed to act renoprotectively, [corrected] but proteinuria was reduced after administering untreated eEOCs." Next, the original version read as "BMP-5 acts as a potent eEOC agonist in murine AKI in the short [corrected] term. Cell effects in 5/6-nephrectomy are heterogenous, but untreated cells act antifibrotically [corrected] without any impact on EnMT. |
