Modulation of the thiol redox proteome by sugarcane ash-derived silica nanoparticles: insights into chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology by Arthur D. Stem, Cole R. Michel, Peter S. Harris, Keegan L. Rogers, Matthew Gibb, Carlos A. Roncal-Jimenez, Richard Reisdorph, Richard J. Johnson, James R. Roede, Kristofer S. Fritz, Jared M. Brown

“…Results Pristine, 200 nm SiNPs induced minimal changes to energy metabolism and proteomic profiles in vitro while treatment with SAD SiNPs resulted in mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarization, inhibited mitochondrial respiration, increased reactive oxygen species generation, and redox proteomic trends suggesting activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and other signaling pathways with known roles in mitochondrial inhibition and CKD progression. Conclusion Results suggest that PCT cell exposure to SAD SiNPs could promote glycolytic and fibrotic shifts consistent with CKDu pathology via oxidative stress-mediated disruption of redox signaling pathways.…”
