METHODS:Study 1: Nine-week-old male C57BL/6 mice underwent sham or brown adipose tissue transplant surgery (sham group, transplant group, n= 6 in each group). Three weeks after surgery, renal crystal deposits were introduced via daily intra-abdominal injections of 80 mg/kg glyoxylate (GOX). Study 2: Renal crystal deposits were introduced via daily intra-abdominal injections of 80 mg/kg GOX in wild-type and defective type 8-week-old male UCP1-deficient mice (B6. 129-Ucp1 tm1Kz/J)(WT group, KO group, n= 6 in each group). Fat tissues, kidneys, and 24-hour urine samples of the mice were collected in both studies.RESULTS:Study 1: In the transplant group, the amount of renal crystal deposits was significantly lower (3.28 times) than that in the sham group (Fig. 1a), and lower expression of inflammatory markers, such as chemokine (CC motif) ligand 2 (Ccl2), EGF module-containing mucin-like receptor 1 (Emr1), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf), and secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1) was observed in the kidney. Inductive brown adipocytes were observed in the perirenal fat tissue in the transplant group. Study 2: In the KO group, the amount of renal crystal deposits was significantly higher (3.28 times) than that in the WT group (Fig. 1b), and higher expression of Emr1, Tnf, and Spp1 was observed in the kidney. Infiltration of inflammatory cells was strongly observed in brown adipose tissue in the KO group. There were no significant differences in the 24-hour urine samples throughout the two studies.CONCLUSIONS:Brown adipose tissue transplantation suppressed renal crystal formation via anti-inflammatory effects, and UCP1 would be necessary in this mechanism. Brown adipocytes can be the therapeutic target for kidney stone formation.
