The pathogenesis of renal osteopathy and cardiovascular disease suggests the disordered bone-vessel axis in chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). However, the mechanism of the bone-vessel axis in CKD-MBD remains unclear. We established a CKD-MBD rat model to observe the pathophysiological phenotype of the bone-vessel axis and performed RNA sequencing of aortas to identify novel targets of the bone-vessel axis in CKD-MBD. The microarchitecture of the femoral trabecular bone deteriorated and alveolar bone loss was aggravated in CKD-MBD rats. The intact parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase levels increased, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels decreased, and intact fibroblast growth factor-23 levels did not increase in CKD-MBD rats at 16 weeks; other bone metabolic parameters in the serum demonstrated dynamic characteristics. With calcium deposition in the abdominal aortas of CKD-MBD rats, RNA sequencing of the aortas revealed a significant decrease in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2 (ITPR2) gene levels in CKD-MBD rats. A similar trend was observed in rat aortic smooth muscle cells. As a secretory protein, ITPR2 serum levels decreased at 4 weeks and slightly increased without statistical differences at 16 weeks in CKD-MBD rats. ITPR2 serum levels were significantly increased in patients with vascular calcification, negatively correlated with blood urea nitrogen levels, and positively correlated with serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels. These findings provide preliminary insights into the role of ITPR2 in the bone-vessel axis in CKD-MBD. Thus, ITPR2 may be a potential target of the bone-vessel axis in CKD-MBD.
肾性骨病和心血管疾病的发病机制提示慢性肾脏病-矿物质和骨异常(CKD-MBD)中的骨血管轴紊乱。然而,CKD-MBD 中骨血管轴的机制尚不清楚。我们建立了 CKD-MBD 大鼠模型,以观察骨血管轴的病理生理学表型,并对主动脉进行 RNA 测序,以鉴定 CKD-MBD 中骨血管轴的新靶点。CKD-MBD 大鼠的股骨小梁骨微观结构恶化,牙槽骨丢失加重。完整甲状旁腺激素和碱性磷酸酶水平升高,1,25-二羟维生素 D3 水平降低,而完整成纤维细胞生长因子 23 水平在 16 周时并未升高;血清中的其他骨代谢参数表现出动态特征。随着 CKD-MBD 大鼠腹主动脉钙沉积,主动脉 RNA 测序显示 CKD-MBD 大鼠的肌醇 1,4,5-三磷酸受体 2(ITPR2)基因水平显著降低。在大鼠主动脉平滑肌细胞中也观察到类似的趋势。作为一种分泌蛋白,ITPR2 血清水平在 CKD-MBD 大鼠中在 4 周时下降,在 16 周时略有增加但无统计学差异。ITPR2 血清水平在血管钙化患者中显著升高,与血尿素氮水平呈负相关,与血清抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶 5b 水平呈正相关。这些发现为 ITPR2 在 CKD-MBD 中骨血管轴中的作用提供了初步见解。因此,ITPR2 可能是 CKD-MBD 中骨血管轴的潜在靶点。
