Alteration of circadian machinery in monocytes underlies chronic kidney disease-associated cardiac inflammation and fibrosis

Abstract: Dysfunction of the circadian clock has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The CLOCK protein is a core molecular component of the circadian oscillator, so that mice with a mutated Clock gene (Clk/Clk) exhibit abnormal rhythms in numerous physiological processes. However, here we report that chronic kidney disease (CKD)-induced cardiac inflammation and fibrosis are attenuated in Clk/Clk mice even though they have high blood pressure and increased serum angiotensin II levels.

“…In addition, local inflammation and concomitant hypoxia are themselves additional factors causing local acidification [20]. Activation of proton-activated GPCRs has been implicated in the regulation of inflammatory processes that span from the infiltration of immune cells to their differentiation, proliferation, and activity [7,27,120,136,153]. The abundant expression of GPR4 in endothelial cells allows to mediate at least in part the pH-dependent activation of endothelial cells and subsequent immune cell invasion [58,92].…”

“…Activation of NF-κB produces a series of in ammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12, TNFa. In this in ammatory cytokines, IL-6 plays a central role in body defense by stimulating various cell populations and is an essential part of the in ammatory mediator network [39,40] . In recent years, HIF-1/ NF-κB is being increasingly recognized as a critical factor in the in ammatory response.…”

“…Not unexpectedly, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can also increase RBP4 in the circulation [ 172 ]. Experimentally, a 5/6 nephrectomy in mice increased concentrations of retinol and RBP4 in blood, which promoted the expression of G protein-coupled receptor-68 in circulating monocytes [ 173 ]. Cardiac infiltration of these monocytes under CKD conditions may exacerbate inflammation and fibrosis of the heart.…”
