This commentary addresses some of the strengths, shortcomings, and challenges of the genome-wide association study of acute kidney injury (AKI) report in this issue. This AKI genome-wide association study is well executed and provides significant progress in finding 2 genome-wide significant loci. However, significant interpretive challenges remain, where advancements in methods are needed because of the clinical heterogeneity of the AKI phenotype, plus possible bias due to genetic correlation between index hospitalization risk and AKI risk.
这篇评论论述了本期报道的急性肾损伤(AKI)全基因组关联研究的一些优点、缺点和挑战。这项 AKI 全基因组关联研究执行得很好,在发现两个全基因组重要位点方面取得了重大进展。然而,由于 AKI 表型的临床异质性,加上指数住院风险和 AKI 风险之间的遗传相关性可能导致的偏差,因此需要在方法上取得进展。

Persistent enhancement of glycolysis in kidney tubular epithelial cells has been linked to the progression of chronic kidney disease, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this issue of Kidney International, Wang et al. report that the glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 plays a crucial role in kidney fibrosis by enhancing histone H4 lysine 12 lactylation through lactate accumulation. This increases the transcription of nuclear factor-κB–related genes and promotes inflammation and fibrosis. Inhibiting 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 reduces these effects, indicating therapeutic potential for kidney fibrosis.
