Sex-Dependent Determinants of Uremic Toxicity in Chronic Kidney Disease

open access: yesToxins
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by the progressive accumulation of uremic toxins (UTs), which contribute to systemic complications, increased cardiovascular risk, and disease progression.

Special Issue: Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Globally, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important cause of diarrheal disease, most notably hemorrhagic colitis, and post-diarrheal sequela, such as hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) [...]

Challenging the Leukocyte‐Centric Model of Innate Immunity: The Emerging Role of Structural Cells in Immune Defense

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Structural cells (endothelial, epithelial, neural, and muscle) actively participate in innate immunity as primary responders, challenging the traditional leukocyte‐centric paradigm and opening new therapeutic avenues for precision medicine. ABSTRACT Innate immunity has long been viewed as the domain of circulating mobile immune cells orchestrating ...

Microbial metabolite indole‐3‐propionic acid preserves astrocytic mitochondrial mitofusin 2 to limit neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Following traumatic brain injury, indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) directly targets the aryl hydrocarbon receptor on astrocytes in the peri‐lesional cortex; this suppresses interferon regulatory factor 1‐driven transcription of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RFFL (ring finger and FYVE‐like domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase).

Uric Acid – A Uremic Toxin? [PDF]

open access: yesBlood Purification, 2005
Uric acid might often be regarded as a simple marker of renal disease. Although it is well known that hyperuricemia causes gout which is associated with renal insufficiency and cardiovascular disease, one might think that it could attribute to the intrarenal urate crystal, but not to uric acid per se.

Chronic Kidney Disease‐Associated Pruritus Is Linked to Selective Enrichment of Taurine‐Conjugated Bile Acid Subspecies

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Chronic kidney disease‐associated pruritus (CKDaP) is a frequent complication of advanced CKD with an incompletely understood pathophysiology. We identified a significantly altered glycine‐to‐taurine conjugated bile acid ratio in patients with CKDaP despite unchanged total serum bile acid concentrations.

Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis of Uremic Toxin Research

open access: yes
Uremic toxins accumulate as kidney disease progresses, contributing to diverse systemic disorders. Despite numerous studies, no comprehensive mapping has been performed.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Microbial Modulation of a Uremic Toxin [PDF]

open access: yesCell Host & Microbe, 2016
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Devlin et al. (2016) identify a family of tryptophanases encoded by members of the human gut microbiome and demonstrate that levels of the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate can be modulated in vivo by altering the abundance of bacteria harboring tryptophanase activity.

Pathogenesis of Shiga toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome

open access: yes, 2001
The aim of this review is to examine recent advances in experimental and clinical research relevant to the pathogenesis of diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome with special reference to histopathologic findings, virulence factors of Shiga toxin ...
