The ability of the mammalian kidney to repair or regenerate after acute kidney injury (AKI) is very limited. The maladaptive repair of AKI promotes progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, new strategies to promote the repair/regeneration of injured renal tubules after AKI are urgently needed.

Anemia is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD), worsens with disease progression, and profoundly affects a patient's well-being. Major pathogenic factors are inadequate kidney erythropoietin (EPO) production and absolute and functional iron deficiency. The 2 mainstays of current anemia treatment are a) replacement therapy with recombinant EPO or 1 of its glycosylated derivatives, administered subcutaneously or intravenously, and b) intravenous (IV) iron injections.

Article Synopsis
  • Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent issue for hospitalized patients and increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  • The study identifies the importance of specific enzymes (PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3) in kidney repair after ischemia, revealing that altering these enzymes leads to worse kidney damage and inflammation.
  • Inhibiting a protein called MCT4 can improve kidney repair by reducing inflammation and preventing damage caused by a faulty metabolic response in endothelial cells, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for preventing the progression from AKI to CKD.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play a crucial role in regulating erythropoietin synthesis and red blood cell production, with PHD enzymes being vital for controlling HIF stability and activity.
  • The study identified potential PHD inhibitors from over 13,000 compounds using molecular docking and dynamics simulations, revealing four promising candidates that bind more effectively to PHD2 than the existing drug, Vadadustat.
  • Among the candidates, ZINC36378940 emerged as the most promising with the strongest binding affinity, suggesting it should be further explored for therapeutic applications.
