Ingestion of high dose AA induces acute kidney injury, while chronic low dose ingestion leads to progressive kidney disease. Ingested AA is taken up by tubular epithelial cells of the kidney, leading to DNA damage and cell death. Cyclophilin D (CypD) participates in mitochondrial-dependent cell death, but whether this mechanism operates in acute or chronic AA-induced kidney injury is unknown. We addressed this question by exposing CypD-\/- and wild type (WT) mice to acute high dose, or chronic low dose, AA. Administration of 5 mg\/kg AA to WT mice induced acute kidney injury 3 days later, characterised by loss of kidney function, tubular cell damage and death, and neutrophil infiltration. All of these parameters were significantly reduced in CypD-\/- mice. Chronic low dose (2 mg\/kg AA) administration in WT mice resulted in chronic kidney disease with impaired renal function and renal fibrosis by day 28. However, CypD-\/- mice were not protected from AA-induced chronic kidney disease. In conclusion, CypD facilitates AA-induced acute kidney damage, but CypD does not contribute to the transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease during ongoing AA exposure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxins13100700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,11]],"date-time":"2021-10-11T01:59:47Z","timestamp":1633917587000},"page":"700","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cyclophilin D Promotes Acute, but Not Chronic, Kidney Injury in a Mouse Model of Aristolochic Acid Toxicity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Khai Gene","family":"Leong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre, Department of Nephrology, Monash Health and Monash University Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyce","family":"Ozols","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre, Department of Nephrology, Monash Health and Monash University Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Kanellis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre, Department of Nephrology, Monash Health and Monash University Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank Y.","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre, Department of Nephrology, Monash Health and Monash University Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5734-2931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David J.","family":"Nikolic-Paterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Medical Centre, Department of Nephrology, Monash Health and Monash University Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jadot, I.I., Decl\u00e8ves, A.-E., Nortier, J., and Caron, N.
