Background: The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) target pathway plays pivotal renoprotective roles after acute kidney injury. Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) serves as the coreceptor for HGF. Shedding of SDC-1 is involved in various pathological processes. Thus, we hypothesized that ischemia/reperfusion injury induced SDC-1 shedding, and inhibiting SDC-1 shedding would protect against kidney injury by potentiating activation of the HGF receptor mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met).
Methods: Expression of SDC-1 and its sheddases were observed in kidneys of sham and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) mice. To inhibit SDC-1 shedding, mice were injected with the sheddase inhibitor GM6001 before I/R surgery, and then, renal inflammation, tubular apoptosis, and activation of the c-Met/AKT/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) pathway were analyzed. In vitro, human proximal tubular cell lines were pretreated with GM6001 under hypoxia/reperfusion conditions. The apoptosis and viability of cells and expression of c-Met/AKT/GSK-3β pathway components were evaluated. The relationship was further confirmed by treatment with SU11274, a specific inhibitor of phospho-c-Met.
Results: Shedding of SDC-1 was induced after ischemia/reperfusion injury both in vivo and in vitro. GM6001 pretreatment suppressed SDC-1 shedding, alleviated renal inflammation and tubular apoptosis, and upregulated phosphorylation of the c-Met/AKT/GSK-3β pathway. In vitro, pretreatment with GM6001 also decreased hypoxia/reperfusion-induced cell apoptosis and promoted activation of the c-Met pathway. In addition, the cytoprotective role of GM6001 was attenuated by suppressing c-Met phosphorylation with SU11274.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that inhibiting I/R-induced SDC-1 shedding protected against ischemic acute kidney injury by potentiating the c-Met/AKT/GSK-3β pathway.

The endothelial glycocalyx is damaged in postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS), but the prognostic value is unknown. We aimed to observe the expression and prognostic value of glycocalyx shedding products, including syndecan-1 (SDC-1), hyaluronan (HA), and heparan sulfate (HS) in PCAS. Data on clinical and 28-day outcomes of seventy-one consecutive patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were collected.

This study aims to explore the impact of metabolites from three vaginal bacteria on the expression of Syndecan 1 (SDC-1). Human cervical epithelial cells (HcerEpic) were separately incubated with the cell-free supernatants of (LCS group), (GVS group), and (AVS group). LCS showed a proliferative effect on HcerEpic, with the most significant effect observed at a concentration of 30 % (P < 0.

Sepsis causes dysfunction in different organs, but the pathophysiological mechanisms behind it are similar and mainly involve complex hemodynamic and cellular dysfunction. The importance of microcirculatory dysfunction in sepsis is becoming increasingly evident, in which endothelial dysfunction and glycocalyx degradation play a major role. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) on renal microcirculation in septic renal failure, and whether Sirt1 was involved in the renoprotective effects of HRS.
