Sepsis is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A, SP-D) play a critical role in host defense and regulate inflammation during infection. Recent studies indicate SP-A and SP-D are expressed in the kidney. The current study examines the role of SP-A and SP-D in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced AKI. Wild-type (WT) and SP-A/SP-D double knockout (KO) C57BL/6 mice were treated by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham surgery. Histological, cellular and molecular indices of kidney injury were investigated in septic mice 6 and 24 h after CLP. 24 h post-CLP, kidney injury was more severe, renal function was decreased, blood creatinine and BUN were higher in septic SP-A/SP-D KO mice (p<0.05, vs septic WT mice). Kidney edema and vascular permeability were increased in septic SP-A/SP-D KO mice (p<0.01, vs septic WT mice). Apoptotic cells increased significantly (p<0.01) in the kidney of septic SP-A/SP-D KO mice compared to septic WT mice. Molecular analysis revealed levels of Bcl-2 (an inhibitor of apoptosis) were lower and levels of caspase-3 (a biomarker of apoptosis) were higher in the kidney of septic SP-A/SP-D KO mice (p<0.01, vs septic WT mice). Furthermore, levels of NF-κB and phosphorylated IκB-α increased significantly in the kidney of septic SP-A/SP-D KO mice than septic WT mice, suggesting SP-A/SP-D KO mice have a more pronounced inflammatory response to sepsis. We conclude SP-A and SP-D attenuate kidney injury by modulating inflammation and apoptosis in sepsis-induced AKI.
