ABSTRACT
Dyslipidemia may induce chronic kidney disease and trigger both ferroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, but the instigating factors are incompletely understood. We tested the hypothesis that different models of dyslipidemia engage distinct kidney injury mechanisms. Wild-type (WT) or proprotein-convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 (PCSK9)-gain-of-function (GOF) Ossabaw pigs were fed with a 6-months normal (ND) or high-fat (HFD) diet (n=5-6 each). Renal function and fat deposition were studied in-vivo using CT, and blood and kidney tissue studied ex-vivo for lipid profile, systemic and renal vein free fatty acids (FFA) levels, and renal injury mechanisms including lipid peroxidation (LPO), ferroptosis, and ER stress. Compared with WT-ND pigs, both HFD and PCSK9-GOF elevated triglyceride levels, which were highest in WT-HFD, whereas total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels rose only in PCSK9-GOF pigs, particularly in PCSK9-GOF/HFD. The HFD groups had worse kidney function than ND. The WT-HFD kidneys retained more FFA than other groups, but all kidneys developed fibrosis. Furthermore, HFD-induced ferroptosis in WT-HFD indicated by increased free iron, and LPO, and decreased glutathione peroxidase-4 mRNA expression, while PCSK9-GOF induced ER stress with upregulated GRP94 and CHOP protein expression. In vitro, PK1 cells treated with palmitic acid (PA) and oxidized-LDL to mimic HFD and PCSK9-GOF showed similar trends to those observed in vivo. Taken together, HFD-induced hypertriglyceridemia promotes renal FFA retention and ferroptosis, whereas PCSK9-GOF-induced hypercholesterolemia elicits ER stress, both resulting in renal fibrosis. These observations suggest different targets for preventing and treating renal fibrosis in subjects with specific types of dyslipidemia.
