The peritubular capillary (PTC) network is a component of the tubulointerstitium of the kidney with important roles in renal function and hemodynamics. Bone marrow (BM)-derived cells can contribute to repair of the renal PTC network after ischemic injury. However, the cell fate and the regulation of renal BM-derived cell engraftment in comparison with somatic cells during disease progression are unclear. This study characterized the time course and regulation of PTC endothelial cell injury in adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy in mice, a model of chronic, irreversible, progressive renal disease. Enhanced green fluorescence protein-positive BM cells that coexpressed two endothelial cell markers, von Willebrand factor and CD31, were found to engraft into the PTC of chimeric ADR-injected mice in a time-dependent manner. The number of BM-derived PTC endothelial cells peaked 2 wk after ADR injection, then declined dramatically thereafter. In these mice, apoptosis was evident in BM-derived PTC endothelial cells, and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and TGF-beta1/Smad signaling pathways were activated. Blocking both the p38 MAPK and TGF-beta1/Smad signaling pathways by administration of a p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) and a TGF-beta receptor 1 inhibitor (ALK5I) to ADR-injected mice rescued BM-derived PTC endothelial cells from apoptosis, reduced the loss of PTC, and restored kidney function. Investigation into the signaling pathways that regulate the differentiation and survival of BM-derived cells that engraft into the kidney in the proinflammatory setting of progressive renal disease is vital for the successful development of cell-based therapies to promote renal regeneration and repair.
