Marked hyperuricemia is known to cause acute renal failure via intrarenal crystal deposition. However, recent studies suggest mild hyperuricemia may have vasoactive and proinflammatory effects independent of crystal formation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that mild hyperuricemia might exacerbate renal injury and dysfunction in a model of cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in the rat. Cisplatin was administered to normouricemic and hyperuricemic rats (the latter generated by administering the urate oxidase inhibitor, oxonic acid). Recombinant urate oxidase (rasburicase) was administered in a third group to assess the effect of lowering uric acid on outcomes. Other control groups include normal rats and hyperuricemic rats without cisplatin-induced injury. Cisplatin induced injury of the pars recta (S3) segment of the proximal tubule in association with a mild monocyte infiltration. Hyperuricemic rats showed significantly greater tubular injury and proliferation with significantly greater macrophage infiltration and increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. However, renal function was not different between normouricemic and hyperuricemic rats with cisplatin injury. Treatment with rasburicase reversed the inflammatory changes and lessened tubular injury with an improvement in renal function (relative to the hyperuricemic group). No intrarenal crystals were observed in any groups. These data provide the first experimental evidence that uric acid, at concentrations that do not cause intrarenal crystal formation, may exacerbate renal injury in a model of acute renal failure. The mechanism may relate to a proinflammatory pathway involving chemokine expression with leukocyte infiltration.

ACUTE RENAL FAILURE (ARF) is a common complication associated with the treatment of cancers and is associated with a marked increased risk for mortality ( 19 ). While there are numerous etiologies, one of the more common causes is the tumor lysis syndrome ( 20 ). While classically observed with hematological malignancies, tumor lysis may also occur with the treatment of solid cancers ( 5, 8 ) and can also rarely develop spontaneously in the absence of any treatment ( 1 ).

7 j# X/ T, V) o8 N: RThe mechanism by which tumor lysis syndrome causes ARF is thought to be multifactorial ( 20 ). The rapid destruction of tumor cells leads to a release of their intracellular contents into the circulation with a marked rise in serum potassium and phosphate. The increased nucleotide release and turnover result in increased synthesis of uric acid, which may rise to levels of 12 mg/dl or more ( 20 ). While renal biopsy is not typically performed, renal failure is thought to result primarily from the precipitation of uric acid, xanthine, and calcium phosphate in the renal tubules ( 20 ). Support for a key role for uric acid in causing the ARF is provided by animal models in which experimentally induced hyperuricemia has been shown to lead to marked uricosuria with intratubular crystal deposition, tubular obstruction, and a marked local inflammatory response ( 17, 18 ). Prevention of ARF in subjects undergoing chemotherapy is largely aimed at maintaining adequate hydration, reducing serum uric acid levels, and alkalinization of the urine (which promotes urate solubilization) ( 20 ). Recently, the use of recombinant urate oxidase, rasburicase, has been shown to be markedly effective at lowering uric acid and appears to be superior to allopurinol in promoting diuresis and improving renal function in these patients ( 32 ).

As discussed above, the mechanism by which hyperuricemia may predispose subjects to ARF is thought to be due exclusively to the precipitation of urate crystals within the renal tubules, resulting in a type of obstructive uropathy ( 20 ). However, there has been the recent recognition that experimental hyperuricemia may have numerous proinflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects independent of intrarenal crystal deposition ( 21, 33, 34, 39 ). Soluble uric acid has been shown to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation and migration and to inhibit endothelial nitric oxide bioavailability ( 14, 16, 26 ). Experimental hyperuricemia also causes profound renal vasoconstriction ( 18, 34 ) and over time both causes and exacerbates chronic renal injury ( 15, 27 ). Furthermore, uric acid can activate inflammatory cells ( 2 ), stimulate monocyte chemoattractants ( 13 ), and induce pro-oxidative effects in vascular cells ( 13 ). Uric acid may also have a key role in the dendritic cell activation to injured cells ( 36 ). Interestingly, under certain conditions uric acid may also function as an antioxidant with potential cytoprotective qualities ( 2 ).

The model of ARF we selected was that induced by cisplatin (CP) in which proximal tubular injury is thought to be due to a combination of direct cytotoxicity, intrarenal vasoconstriction, and oxidative stress ( 9, 23 ). Interestingly, pretreatment uric acid levels predict the risk for azotemia in CP-treated patients ( 29 ). Furthermore, serum uric acid also rises following CP treatment although to levels not associated with intrarenal crystal deposition (from 6.1 ± 1.0 to 8.3 ± 1.3 mg/dl in one study) ( 30 ). However, uric acid levels in this range are known to be associated with significant systemic endothelial dysfunction which can be improved by lowering serum uric acid ( 22 ).

Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g, Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA) were housed in individual metabolic cages and fed a standard diet (Harlan Teklad, Madison, WI) with water ad libitum. After 1 wk, rats were randomized into five groups. Group I (CP group) consisted of six rats that received a single dose of CP (5 mg/kg body wt; Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in normal (0.9%) saline. Group II (CP-OA group) consisted of six rats that received CP but also were made acutely hyperuricemic by the daily gavage of the urate oxidase inhibitor, oxonic acid (OA; Sigma). The OA was administered at a dose of 750 mg/kg body wt in 0.5 ml of 0.25% methyl cellulose solution for 5 consecutive days beginning immediately after injection of the CP. Group III (CP-OA-rasburicase) consisted of six rats with CP-OA and also received intraperitoneal injection of human recombinant urate oxidase (25 mg/kg rasburicase, Sanofi-Aventis, Paris, France) in vehicle for 5 consecutive days. Group IV (OA, n = 6) received daily OA and group V (vehicle, n = 6) received daily gavage with methylcellulose without OA; similarly, group I also received daily vehicle by gavage.

Measurement of renal MCP-1 protein by ELISA. Renal MCP-1 levels were measured by a commercially available ELISA kit on kidney tissue samples (BD Pharmingen). Briefly, whole kidney was snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen at death and ground into powder with a pestle on dry ice. Kidney tissue powder ( 100 mg) was sonicated in 500 µl of lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) and centrifuged at 10,000 g for 30 min at 4°C. Protein in the supernatant was determined using a Bio-Rad Protein Assay Kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories). To measure renal MCP-1, wells of polystyrene microtiter plates (Nunc, Glostrup, Denmark) were coated with capture antibody for MCP-1 in carbonate bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.6) overnight at 4°C. The wells were washed three times with PBS containing 0.5% Tween 20 (PBST) and blocked with PBS containing 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 h at room temperature (RT). One hundred microliters of standards or rat whole kidney homogenates were added into wells and incubated for 2 h at RT. After being washed, 100 µl of detection antibody and enzyme reagent mixture were added to each well and the plate was incubated for 1 h at RT. Unbound detection antibody and enzyme mixture were removed by seven consecutive washes with PBST. Finally, 100 µl of substrate solution were added to each well and the plate was incubated in the dark at RT for 30 min. The reaction was stopped by addition of 50 µl of stop solution and the absorbance was measured at 405 nm with a microplate scanning spectrophotometer (Powerwave 200; BIO-TEK Instruments, Winooski, VT)./ P7 u" E# ?! ?; u2 b

No injury was observed in the convoluted proximal tubules in the cortex, in the mTAL, or in the collecting ducts.

Tubular proliferation (PCNA staining) was also significantly greater in the outer medulla ( Fig. 1 ). However, the most striking difference between the two groups related to the interstitial inflammation and peritubular capillaritis, which was much more marked in the hyperuricemic rats, and which extended into the cortex as well as the ISOM ( Table 2 ).

It is well known that severe hyperuricemia may precipitate ARF. The mechanism has been attributed to the consequence of marked uricosuria with the formation of uric acid crystals that obstruct the tubular lumina and incite an inflammatory response ("acute urate nephropathy"). While classically observed with tumor lysis associated with the treatment of hematological malignancies, this syndrome may also occur with other conditions associated with marked cell turnover, such as rhabdomyolysis ( 25 ).

Recently, there have been a number of studies that have suggested that hyperuricemia, at concentrations that do not cause intrarenal crystal deposition, may have marked hemodynamic and proinflammatory effects. In cell culture studies, soluble uric acid has been found to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, stimulate vascular smooth muscle growth, and stimulate monocyte chemotaxis ( 2, 14, 16, 39 ). Uric acid rapidly inhibits endothelial nitric oxide release, likely via a mechanism that involves scavenging of nitric oxide ( 13, 14, 16, 28 ). Uric acid also stimulates the release of proinflammatory mediators from vascular cells, including the release of MCP-1 and CRP ( 13, 14 ). In animals hyperuricemia can cause renal vasoconstriction, as well as raise blood pressure, induce features of the metabolic syndrome, and cause chronic renal disease ( 15, 21, 26, 28 ).: e" a$ |/ ]5 u' C
) y: b8 C2 ?/ o8 d4 n/ T( WThe observation that mild hyperuricemia may have vasoconstrictive, antiangiogenic, and proinflammatory actions led us to hypothesize that mild hyperuricemia may accelerate ARF. Indeed, recent studies documented that ARF is not simply mediated by tubular cell injury, but rather is frequently accompanied by renal vasoconstriction, microvascular injury, and a local inflammatory response ( 4, 6, 7, 10, 24, 37, 42 ).( D) q! m/ z3 L9 \
7 t M) e4 p! R1 D0 dTo test this hypothesis, we induced mild hyperuricemia in rats by administering the urate oxidase inhibitor, OA. This was necessary as rats have the enzyme which degrades uric acid to allantoin, and hence the normal uric acid levels in the rat vary between 1 and 2 mg/dl. However, urate oxidase was mutated during hominoid evolution, and as a consequence humans have higher levels that are also less regulatable.2 u5 _1 q; J$ B3 L# i* l# l' x: W! j F
; j0 A! T. x- L' `The induction of mild hyperuricemia was not associated with any acute renal injury by itself, but the rise in uric acid levels was also relatively small ( 40-50%). However, when OA was administered to rats with CP-induced ARF, the rise in uric acid was accentuated. Renal function was not significantly different from rats treated with CP alone; however, hyperuricemic rats developed worse renal injury. In control rats with CP-induced injury, there was marked injury to the vulnerable S3 segment of the proximal tubule within the medullary rays and the OSOM, similar to what has been observed by others ( 41 ). Tubular injury was significantly greater in hyperuricemic rats with CP-induced injury, and tubular proliferation was also greater. However, the major finding was the presence of a much greater local inflammatory response, with increased macrophage infiltration and MCP-1 expression. Importantly, the worsening of the renal injury was not mediated by intrarenal crystal deposition.6 o4 `2 G9 p8 S3 ^ z. J+ w/ N

These data are consistent with epidemiological studies suggesting that an elevated uric acid may increase the risk of patients to CP-induced ARF ( 29 ).

There have been a number of studies that have reported the use of the uric acid-lowering drug, allopurinol, in models of ARF. Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that blocks the formation of uric acid. However, the inhibition of xanthine oxidase also results in blocking superoxide and hydrogen peroxide generation, and hence this agent was previously used as a means to reduce oxidants. Indeed, there is strong evidence that oxidants are involved in toxic ARF ( 3 ), including in CP-induced renal injury ( 35 ). There is also evidence for oxidant involvement in ischemic ARF. However, the role of allopurinol in protection in ischemic renal failure has been controversial, as there are reports that it is both beneficial ( 31, 40 ) as well as ineffective ( 11 ). Importantly, in none of these studies was uric acid raised using a urate oxidase inhibitor to mimic the human condition, nor were uric acid levels followed., x3 |* ?1 n# [4 q4 i: G

The design of our study allowed us to separate the effects of uric acid from that of coproduced oxidants generated during the xanthine oxidase reaction. Thus, by using uricase we were able to lower uric acid directly. Interestingly, urate oxidase actually generates oxidants during the degradation of uric acid; in contrast, OA blocks oxidant generation via the same pathway. These studies thus emphasize that it is likely the uric acid per se was accelerating the renal injury. However, it remains possible that the rasburicase is providing protection via some other unknown mechanism.

These studies do not rule out the involvement of oxidants in the mechanism by which uric acid mediates its effects. Thus, uric acid itself may have either prooxidative or antioxidant effects. Indeed, we previously reported that the stimulation of MCP-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells by uric acid can be blocked by antioxidants ( 13 ). Thus it remains possible that uric acid may be mediating prooxidant effects on various intrarenal cell populations through a direct mechanism, or possibly secondarily as a consequence of stimulating the leukocyte infiltrate.1 f, [0 R' [) w2 v- R! ]

In conclusion, mild hyperuricemia was shown to significantly increase renal tubular injury and inflammation in a model of CP-induced ARF in the rat. The primary mechanism appeared to be the stimulation of monocyte chemokines with an enhanced infiltration of infiltrating leukocytes. Importantly, this effect was not mediated by intrarenal crystal deposition. The data thus support the hypothesis that mild or moderate hyperuricemia may be a contributing factor in the renal injury accompanying CP-induced ARF.2 V% H; W) _* x) X+ E, ~
