Objectives To explore whether the gap junction (GJ) composed by connexin32(Cx32) mediated pyroptosis in renal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury via transmitting miR155-3p, with aim to provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) after renal I/R. Methods 8–10 weeks of male C57BL/ 6 wild-type mice and Cx32 knockdown mice were divided into two groups respectively: control group and renal I/R group. MCC950 (50 mg/kg. ip.) was used to inhibit NLRP3 in vivo. Human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HK - 2) and rat kidney tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) were divided into high-density group and low-density group, and treated with hypoxia reoxygenation (H/R) to mimic I/R. The siRNA and plasmid of Cx32, mimic and inhibitor of miR155-3p were transfected into HK - 2 cells respectively. Kidney pathological and functional injuries were measured. Western Blot and immunofluorescent staining were used to observe the expression of NLRP3, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, IL - 18, and mature IL-18. The secretion of IL-18 and IL-1β in serum, kidney tissue and cells supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and the expression of NLPR3 and miR155-3p were detected by RT-qPCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results Tubular pyroptosis were found to promote AKI after I/R in vivo and Cx32-GJ regulated pyroptosis by affecting the expression of miR155-3p after renal I/R injury. In vitro, H/R could lead to pyroptosis in HK-2 and NRK-52E cells. When the GJ channels were not formed, and Cx32 was inhibited or knockdown, the expression of miR155-3p was significantly reduced and the pyroptosis was obviously inhibited, leading to the reduction of injury and the increase of survival rate. Moreover, regulating the level of miR155-3p could affect survival rate and pyroptosis in vitro after H/R. Conclusions The GJ channels composed of Cx32 regulated tubular pyroptosis in renal I/R injury by transmitting miR155-3p. Inhibition of Cx32 could reduce the level of miR155-3p further to inhibit pyroptosis, leading to alleviation of renal I/R injury which provided a new strategy for preventing the occurrence of AKI.

Endothelial cell dysfunction can lead to various vascular diseases. Blood flow disorder is a common symptom of vascular diseases. Regenerative angiogenesis, which involves transplanting vascular cells or stem cells into the body to shape new vasculature, can be a good therapeutic strategy. However, there are several limitations to using autologous cells from the patients themselves. We sought to investigate the new vascular cells that can play a role in the formation of angiogenesis in vivo using stem cells from alternative animals suitable for cellular therapy. Porcine is an optimal animal model for xenotransplantation owing to its physiological similarity to humans. We used differentiated porcine endothelial cells (pECs) as a therapeutic strategy to restore vessel function. Differentiated pECs formed vessel-like structures in mice, distinguishing them from stem cells. MMPs activity and migration assays indicated that differentiated pECs possessed angiogenic potential. Tube formation and 3D spheroid sprouting assays further confirmed the angiogenic phenotype of the differentiated pECs. Immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed claudin-mediated tight junctions and connexin 43-mediated gap junctions between human ECs and differentiated pECs. Additionally, the movement of small RNA from human ECs to differentiated pECs was observed under co-culture conditions. Our findings demonstrated the in vivo viability and angiogenetic potential of differentiated pECs and highlighted the potential for intercellular communication between human and porcine ECs. These results suggest that transplanted cells in vascular regeneration completed after cell therapy have the potential to achieve intercellular communication within the body.
