Calcium phosphate–induced renal epithelial injury and stone formation: Involvement of reactive oxygen species

Abstract: Brushite crystals are injurious to cells of both the proximal tubules as well as collecting ducts. Injury is mediated by reactive oxygen species. We propose that CaP crystals can independently interact with renal epithelium, promote sites for crystal attachment, and then either grow into mature CaP stones or create sites for CaOx crystal nucleation, retention, and stone development.

“…We have shown earlier that renal epithelial cells react to the presence of brushite and CaOx crystals in time and concentration dependent manner (3,4). Longer exposure to high concentrations of brushite or CaOx crystals is injurious to the renal epithelial cells.…”

“…The urinary calcium excretion increases initially because of the accompanying sodium load that suppresses calcium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. The high concentration of phosphate and calcium in the urine results in precipitation of calcium-phosphate crystals that flow downstream to the distal tubules and collecting ducts and bind to the epithelial cells, where these undergo internalization, triggering an inflammatory reaction and cellular damage [11].…”

“…Excessive ROS can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. 26,27 As shown in Figure 4, nano-HAp caused MOVASs to produce a large amount of ROS, indicating that nano-HAp induced cell damage. Both Na 3 Cit and Et 2 Cit significantly inhibited ROS production induced by nano-HAp, and strong inhibitory effects were observed at high concentrations ( Figure 4B).…”
