Context: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of acute renal failure (ARF). The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) has been implicated as a key mediator of reperfusion injury. Activation of NF-kappaB is dependent upon the phosphorylation of its inhibitor, IkappaB, by the specific inhibitory kappaB kinase (IKK) subunit, IKKbeta. We hypothesized that ischemic preconditioning (IPC) reduces acute renal damage following I/R injury by inhibiting activation of IKKbeta. As neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), an early predictive biomarker of acute kidney injury, is regulated by NF-kappaB, we approached the relationship between NGAL and IKKbeta.', 'Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups after right kidney nephrectomy. Group A rats were sham-operated controls. Group B rats were 45-min ischemic in the left renal artery while Group C rats were pre-treated with 3 cycles of 2-min ischemia and 5-min reperfusion. All the rats were sacrificed at 24 h after reperfusion. We harvested kidneys and serum to do further analysis, including histological and functional parameters, expressions of NGAL and IKKbeta in renal tissues.', 'Compared with rats subjected to I/R injury, pre-treated rats had a significant decrease in serum creatinine level (Scr) and tubulointerstitial injury scores (Scr, 86.79 +/- 12.98 vs. 205.89 +/- 19.16 mircomol/l, p < 0.01; tubulointerstitial injury scores, 1.3 +/- 0.48 vs. 3.8 +/- 0.79, p < 0.01). In addition, expressions of IKKbeta (0.95 +/- 0.21 vs. 1.74 +/- 0.17, p < 0.05) and NGAL (1.71 +/- 0.032 vs. 2.66 +/- 0.078, p < 0.05) at renal tubule in pre-treated rats were attenuated significantly compared with rats subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Moreover, our study showed that IKKbeta and NGAL were in positive correlation (R = 0.965 > R(0.01)(30) = 0.448, p < 0.01).
Answer: The evidence suggests that IKKbeta may play a role in renal I/R injury and give rise to the generation of NGAL. It appears that IPC may attenuate renal injury and the expression of NGAL following acute I/R injury. IKKbeta may offer a clinically accessible target for preventing renal injury following I/R.

Context: Cirrhosis, or liver fibrosis, which is mainly triggered by cirrhosis fat-storing cells (CFSCs) activation, has traditionally been considered an irreversible disease. However, recent observations indicate that even advanced fibrosis is still reversible by removing the causative agents. Anti-fibrotic effects of bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated by inhibiting CFSCs via cytokines secretion; however, the mechanisms are still unclear.', 'The purpose of this study was to explore the underlying mechanisms by which BMSCs modulate the function of activated CFSCs.', 'After the co-culture of CFSCs with BMSCs supernatants with or without the addition of recombinant rat adrenomedullin (AM)/AM-specific siRNA, western blot analysis was mainly used to detect the differences of relative protein expression on CFSCs.', 'BMSC-secreted adrenomedullin (AM) effectively inhibited the proliferation and activation of CFSCs by suppressing the expression of Ang II and its binding receptor, AT1, which resulted in a reduction of p47-phox formation.
Answer: Our data suggested that BMSCs inhibited CFSC activation in vitro via the AM-Ang II-p47-phox signaling pathway, and since CFSC activation is an essential part of hepatic fibrosis process, this inhibition by BMSCs implies us new insights into the potential treatment of hepatic fibrosis via BMSCs.

Context: To identify molecular features associated with clinico-pathological parameters in renal cell cancer.', 'Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging was employed for a kidney cancer tissue microarray containing tissue samples from 789 patients for which clinical follow-up data were available.', 'A comparison of mass spectrometric signals with clinico-pathological features revealed significant differences between papillary and clear cell renal cell cancer. Within the subgroup of clear cell RCC, statistical associations with tumor stage (seven signals, p<0.01 each), Fuhrman grade (seven signals, p<0.0001 each), and presence of lymph node metastases (10 signals, p<0.01 each) were found. In addition, the presence of one signal was significantly linked to shortened patient survival (p=0.0198).
Answer: Our data pinpoint towards various molecules with potential relevance in renal cell cancer. They also demonstrate that the combination of the MALDI mass spectrometry imaging and large-scale tissue microarray platforms represents a powerful approach to identify clinically-relevant molecular cancer features.
