摘要

Renal injury is a common complication of hyperuricemia (HUA), which has been recognized as an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The gut-kidney axis theory suggests that targeting the gut microbiota may be a potential treatment option for kidney disease. In this study, we utilized a spontaneous HUA rat model to demonstrate that Simiao decoction (SMD), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, can effectively alleviate HUA-induced renal injury by modulating gut microbiota and bacterial metabolism of tryptophan and tyrosine, thereby reducing gut-derived uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-Cresol (PC). Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) further confirmed that the therapeutic effect of SMD was mediated by gut microbiota. Finally, in vitro studies revealed that IS promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) while PC induces cellular senescence in tubular cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that SMD can effectively alleviate HUA-induced renal injury through regulating gut dysbiosis and decreasing gut-derived uremic toxins. This study sheds light on a novel mechanism by which SMD exerts its effects on HUA-induced renal injury.
