Sirtuin1 mitigation of calcium oxalate nephropathy via enhancing itaconate abundance through reduction of histone trimethylation
Sirt1 is significantly reduced in CaOx-induced nephropathy models in vivo and calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) induced in vitro. Sirt1 in macrophages alleviated CaOx-induced kidney injury and crystal deposition via elevating itaconate levels. Conditional knockout of Sirt1 in vivo significantly exacerbates renal crystal deposition and function damage. We accurately evaluated CaOx-induced renal inflammation status by micro <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, and observed macrophage phagocytosis and encapsulation of crystals exposed to epithelial cells through scanning electron microscopy. Sirt1 agonists can be used as preventative and therapeutic agents for CaOx nephropathy, and exogenous supplementation of itaconate effectively alleviated renal crystallisation and inflammatory damage.
