2 Fig 1 Hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased endothelial autophagy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) rats. A, Serum phosphate (Pi) and creatinine levels in 5/6 nephrectomy (CKD) and sham-operated rats. Representative immunofluorescence images (1000× original magnification) double-stained with microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3, red) and von Willebrand factor (green) (B) and immunofluorescence staining of cleaved caspase 3 (green) (C) in the aortic endothelial cells of sham-operated and CKD rats. Nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (blue). The data are presented as the means ± standard error of the mean (n = 8). Semiquantification of fluorescence intensity of LC3 (D) and cleaved caspase 3 (E) staining in the aortic endothelial cells of sham-operated and CKD rats. *P < .05 vs sham-operated rats. Red, blue, and white arrows indicate LC3-positive, LC3-negative, and cleaved caspase 3–positive endothelial cells, respectively.

3 Fig 2 Dose- and time-course for high phosphate (Pi)-induced autophagy in endothelial cells in vitro. Representative immunoblots of protein samples collected from cell lysates of Pi-treated human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) cells labeled with antibodies against microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) or glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH).

B, Time course of LC3 expression in HMEC-1 cells treated with Pi (3 mM) for the indicated durations, and cells collected at time zero were used as the control. C, Autophagy activity, as measured through the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, was quantified through computer-assisted densitometry analysis and presented through relative percentages compared with the corresponding controls. D-G, Representative confocal microscopy images of immunofluorescence staining for LC3 (green) in HMEC-1 cells treated with the indicated concentration of Pi for 24 hours (D) or transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)–LC3 plasmids, cultured for 6 hours, and then treated with Pi (3 mM) for the indicated durations (F). The autophagosomes are detected as green fluorescence puncta. Semiquantification of fluorescence intensity of LC3 staining in HMEC-1 cells treated with the indicated concentration of Pi for 24 hours (E) or 3 mM Pi for the indicated durations after transfection with GFP-LC3 plasmids (G). The nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (blue). The data are presented as the means ± standard error of the mean (n = 3). *P < .05 vs the corresponding control. #P < .05 vs cells treated with 2 mM Pi for 24 hours or 3 mM Pi for 12 hours.

5 Fig 4 Blockage of phosphate (Pi) influx reverses high Pi-induced autophagy and the inhibition of Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in endothelial cells. A, Human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) cells were pretreated with PiT-1 inhibitor (phosphonoformic acid [PFA]) for 1 hour and then with Pi (3 mM) for 24 hours. The cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with antibodies against microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), Akt phosphorylated at Ser 473 (p-Akt), Akt, mTOR phosphorylated at Ser 2448 (p-mTOR), and mTOR. The LC3-II/LC3-I ratio (B) and the levels of Akt (C) and mTOR phosphorylation (D) were quantified by computer-assisted densitometry analysis, and the levels of phosphoprotein immunoreactivity were normalized to their respective total protein immunoreactivity and expressed as percentages of the control. E, Representative images for the immunofluorescence staining of LC3 (green) in HMEC-1 cells treated with Pi (3 mM) for 24 hours with or without PFA (1 mM) before treatment. The nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (blue). The data are presented as the means ± standard error of the mean (n = 3). *P < .05 vs the corresponding control. #P < .05 vs cells treated with 3 mM Pi.

A-E, Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis by annexin V–phycoerythrin (PE) and 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-ADD) staining. Human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) cells were exposed to Pi (3 mM) and cotreated with 3-methyladenine (3-MA; 5 mM) or rapamycin (Rapa; 0.1 mM).
