The glomeruli filtered these products, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) through several mechanisms, such as intratubular obstruction secondary to protein precipitation. The prognosis is highly mutable and depends on the underlying complications and etiologies. New therapeutic plans to reduce AKI are now needed. Up to now, several cellular pathways, with the nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kB), as well as the proinflammatory effects on epithelial and tubular epithelial cells, have been recognized as the major pathway for the initiation of the matrix-producing cells in AKI. Recently, it has been mentioned that periostin (POSTN), an extracellular matrix protein, is involved in the development of inflammation through the modulation of the NF-kB pathway. However, how POSTN develops the inflammation protection in AKI by rhabdomyolysis is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the role of POSTN in a rhabdomyolysis mice model of AKI induced by an intramuscular injection of 50% glycerol. Methods: In vivo, we performed an intramuscular injection of 50% glycerol (5 mg\/kg body weight) to make rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI. We examined the expression level of POSTN through the progression of AKI after glycerol intramuscular injection for C57BL\/6J wildtype (WT) mice. We sacrificed mice at 72 h after glycerol injection. We made periostin-null mice to examine the role of POSTN in acute renal failure. The role of periostin was further examined through in vitro methods. The development of renal inflammation is linked with the NF-kB pathway. To examine the POSTN function, we administrated hemin (100 \u03bcM) on NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells, and the following signaling pathways were examined. Results: The expression of periostin was highly increased, peaking at about 72 h after glycerol injection. The expression of inflammation-associated mRNAs such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and IL-6, and tubular injury score in H-E staining were more reduced in POSTN-null mice than WT mice at 72 h after glycerol injection. Conclusion: POSTN was highly expressed in the kidney through rhabdomyolysis and was a positive regulator of AKI. Targeting POSTN might propose a new therapeutic strategy against the development of acute renal failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells11213388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T04:35:17Z","timestamp":1666845317000},"page":"3388","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Blocking Periostin Prevented Development of Inflammation in Rhabdomyolysis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Mice Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Muratsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of General and Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3728-5607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fumihiro","family":"Sanada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nobutaka","family":"Koibuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kana","family":"Shibata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naruto","family":"Katsuragi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shoji","family":"Ikebe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Second Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Osaka Dental University, Osaka 540-0008, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuo","family":"Tsunetoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of General and Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiromi","family":"Rakugi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryuichi","family":"Morishita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Gene Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6057-7982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiaki","family":"Taniyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Advanced Molecular Therapy, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"659","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.164.6.659","article-title":"Longitudinal follow-up and outcomes among a population with chronic kidney disease in a large managed care organization","volume":"164","author":"Keith","year":"2004","journal-title":"Arch.
