SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Renal fibrosis is a common pathologic process of progressive CKD. We have provided strong evidence that PGI 2 is an important component in the kidney injury/repairing process by reducing fibrosis and protecting renal function from declining. In our study, administration of a PGI 2 analog or selective PTGIR agonist after the acute injury ameliorated renal fibrosis. Our findings provide new insights into the role of PGI 2 in kidney biology and suggest that targeting PGI 2 /PTGIR may be a potential therapeutic strategy for CKD.
BACKGROUND: Prostanoids have been demonstrated to be important modulators to maintain tissue homeostasis in response to physiologic or pathophysiologic stress. Prostacyclin (PGI 2 ) is a member of prostanoids. While limited studies have shown that PGI 2 is involved in the tissue injury/repairing process, its role in renal fibrosis and CKD progression requires further investigation.
METHODS: Prostacyclin synthase ( Ptgis )-deficient mice, prostaglandin I 2 receptor ( Ptgir )-deficient mice, and an oral PGI 2 analog and selective PTGIR agonist were used to examine the role of PGI 2 in renal fibrosis in mouse models. We also analyzed the single-cell RNA-Seq data to examine the PTGIR -expressing cells in the kidneys of patients with CKD.
RESULTS: Increased PTGIS expression has been observed in fibrotic kidneys in both humans and mice. Deletion of the PTGIS gene aggravated renal fibrosis and decline of renal function in murine models. A PGI 2 analog or PTGIR agonist that was administered after the acute injury ameliorated renal fibrosis. PTGIR, the PGI 2 receptor, deficiency blunted the protective effect of the PGI 2 analog. Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts were the major cell types expressing PTGIR in the kidneys of patients with CKD. Deletion of PTGIR in collagen-producing fibroblastic cells aggravated renal fibrosis. The protective effect of PGI 2 was associated with the inhibition of fibroblast activation through PTGIR-mediated signaling.
CONCLUSIONS: PGI 2 is an important component in the kidney injury/repairing process by preventing the overactivation of fibroblasts during the repairing process and protecting the kidney from fibrosis and decline of renal function. Our findings suggest that PGI 2 /PTGIR is a potential therapeutic target for CKD.
