Abstract

Background

Semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) is an immunomodulating protein implicated in lung and liver fibrosis. In autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the progressive expansion of renal cysts, inflammation, and subsequent renal fibrosis leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). SEMA7A may play a role in renal fibrosis and in ADPKD.

Methods

We evaluated Sema7a in a mouse model of renal fibrosis and determined the expression of SEMA7A in human ADPKD kidney. We analyzed SEMA7A expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including CD45+ (leukocyte), CD14+(monocyte), CD4+ (T lymphocytes) and CD4+Foxp3+CD25+ [regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs)] from 90 ADPKD patients (11 tolvaptan treated and 79 tolvaptan naïve), and 21 healthy volunteers, using a Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).

Results

Sema7a is required for renal fibrosis. SEMA7A shows robust expression in ADPKD kidneys, localizing to cysts derived from distal tubules. SEMA7A is higher in circulating monocytes, but unchanged in CD4+ lymphocytes in ADPKD patients. The SEMA7A increase was detected early (stage 1 CKD) and seemed more prominent in patients with smaller kidneys (p = 0.09). Compared to tolvaptan-naïve ADPKD patients, those treated with tolvaptan showed reduced SEMA7A expression on monocytes, T lymphocytes, and Tregs, although the number of PBMCs was unchanged. After 1 month of tolvaptan treatment, SEMA7A expression on Tregs decreased.

Conclusions

SEMA7A shows potential as both a therapeutic target in mammalian kidney fibrosis and as a marker of inflammation in ADPKD patients. SEMA7A expression was lower after tolvaptan treatment, which may reflect drug efficacy.
