[end sys1] Rapid Stereocomplexation between Enantiomeric Comb-Shaped Cellulose-g-poly(L-lactide) Nanohybrids and Poly(D-lactide) from the Melt. In this work we report the in situ preparation of fully biobased stereocomplex poly(lactide) (SC-PLA) nanocomposites grafted onto nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). The stereocomplexation rate by compounding high-molar-mass poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) with comb-like NCC grafted poly(L-lactide) is rather high in comparison with mixtures of PDLA and PLLA. The rapid stereocomplexation was evidenced by a high stereocomplexation temperature (Tc-sc = 145 °C) and a high SC crystallinity (Xc-sc = 38%) upon fast cooling (50 °C/min) from the melt (250 °C for 2 min), which are higher than currently reported values. Moreover, the half-life crystallization time (175-190 °C) of the SC-PLA was shortened by 84-92% in comparison with the PDLA/PLLA blends. The high(er) stereocomplexation rate and the melt stability of the SC in the nanocomposites were ascribed to the nucleation effect of the chemically bonded NCC and the "memory effect" of molecular pairs in the stereocomplex melt because of the confined freedom of the grafted PLLA chains.
The study presented involves complex material science concepts focusing on the rapid stereocomplexation of biobased polymers. Let's break down the process to effectively distinguish between System 1 and System 2 thinking elements. [sys1] The study reports on the preparation of biobased stereocomplex poly(lactide) nanocomposites grafted onto nanocrystalline cellulose. Rapid stereocomplexation and high crystallinity were achieved. [end sys1] [sys2] **2.1 Understand the Problem:** The objective here is to comprehend the rapid formation and stabilizing factors of stereocomplex poly(lactide) when nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is involved. The high stereocomplexation rate and crystallinity present key points of interest. *Reflection:* "I understand that the fast formation of stereocomplexes is crucial for enhanced material properties, but what unique roles do the nanocrystalline cellulose and grafting method play here? Could the molecular interactions at play offer further insights into their efficiency?" *Creative Perspective:* "Is there an underlying chemistry that enhances nucleation and stability due to NCC? Might the properties of NCC be leveraged to innovate other polymer systems?" **2.2 Analyze the Information:** Dissect the contributions of the structural components of the material and their roles in facilitating this reaction. *Reflection:* "Am I considering all chemical and structural factors that contribute to the rapid stereocomplexation? How does NCC influence this compared to other fillers or matrices?" *Creative Perspective:* "Is there a hidden structure-activity relationship that might explain such rapid dynamics? How can the 'memory effect' of molecular pairs be further quantified?" **2.3 Generate Hypotheses:** 1. The grafted NCC facilitates rapid nucleation due to its nanoscale dimensions. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5) 2. The 'memory effect' significantly lowers crystallization time. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6) 3. Higher crystallinity arises from specific NCC-polylactide interactions. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.7) 4. The preparation method enhances thermal transition rates. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5) 5. Molecular confinement limits chain mobility, leading to quicker complexation. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.6) 6. NCC provides an organized nucleation template, increasing efficiency. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7) 7. The comb-like structure supports effective stereocomplexation under heat. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8) 8. Stereocomplexes form rapidly due to size and shape of nanohybrids. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.6) 9. Faster cooling rates stabilize the orientation of molecular pairs. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.5) 10. Nanocrystalline cellulose mass ratio affects crystallization kinetics. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.4) *Reflection:* "Have I examined all pathways through which NCC might contribute to these properties? How have other fillers compared?" *Creative Perspective:* "Could insights here apply to different polymer systems or in scaling up for industrial use?" **2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:** Plan for experimental validation and potential scalability challenges. *Reflection:* "What technical challenges or limitations might arise when attempting to reproduce these results on a larger scale?" *Creative Perspective:* "Are there ways to optimize the existing process to enhance its efficiency or applicability to other systems?" **2.5 Evaluate Hypotheses:** Assess which hypotheses offer the best explanation for observed results. *Reflection:* "Am I providing an unbiased assessment of how each factor contributes to the stereocomplexation? Which ones offer the most leverage for material improvement?" *Creative Perspective:* "What overlooked opportunities might each hypothesis suggest?" [end sys2] [sys1] Considering the findings, the nucleating role of NCC and its structural influence are crucial in the rapid stereocomplexation observed. To leverage NCC’s properties, refining its application across different polymer types may enhance material strengths universally. [end sys1]

if __name__ == "__main__":
create_solar_map()The error you encountered stems from the `branca` library's `LinearColormap` failing due to unsorted thresholds. Let's break down the issue and provide steps to diagnose and resolve it.
## **Understanding the Error**
### **Error Traceback Summary**
1. **Initial Warnings:**
```plaintext
RuntimeWarning: All-NaN axis encountered
vmin = float(np.nanmin(smoothed_masked))
vmax = float(np.nanmax(smoothed_masked))
```
- These warnings indicate that `smoothed_masked` contains only `NaN` values along the specified axes.
2. **Final Exception:**
```plaintext
ValueError: Thresholds are not sorted.
```
- This error arises from the `branca.colormap` when it tries to process the colormap with invalid (likely `NaN`) threshold values.
### **Root Cause**
The `RuntimeWarning` suggests that the raster data (`smoothed_masked`) contains only `NaN` values. Consequently, when you attempt to calculate `vmin` and `vmax` using `np.nanmin` and `np.nanmax`, they return `NaN`. Passing `NaN` values to `branca.colormap.LinearColormap` results in unsorted thresholds, leading to the `ValueError`.
## **Potential Causes**
1. **Data Loading Issues:**
- The solar data CSV (`india_solar_data.csv`) might be empty or improperly formatted.
- The GeoJSON file (`india-soi.geojson`) might not contain the expected geometries or CRS.
2. **Projection Problems:**
- Using a single UTM zone (`EPSG:32644`) may not cover all regions of India, leading to data points falling outside the raster bounds.
- Incorrect CRS transformations can misplace data points.
3. **Rasterization Errors:**
- The process of mapping solar potential data to the raster grid might not be populating any data, leaving the raster entirely `NaN`.
4. **Masking Issues:**
- The mask created from India's boundaries might be incorrectly excluding all data.
## **Step-by-Step Diagnosis and Resolution**
### **1. Verify Input Data**
- **Check Solar Data (`india_solar_data.csv`):**
```python
logger.info(f"Solar Data Rows: {len(solar_df)}")
```
- Ensure that the CSV contains data and that the columns `longitude`, `latitude`, and `potential` are correctly populated.
- **Check GeoJSON Data (`india-soi.geojson`):**
```python
logger.info(f"India GeoJSON CRS: {india.crs}")
logger.info(f"Number of Geometries: {len(india)}")
```
- Confirm that the GeoJSON contains the expected geometries and CRS.
### **2. Validate CRS Transformations**
- **Projection to UTM:**
```python
# Instead of a fixed UTM zone, consider using an appropriate CRS that covers all of India
india_proj = india.to_crs('EPSG:32644') # EPSG:32644 covers UTM zone 44N
solar_gdf_proj = solar_gdf.to_crs('EPSG:32644')
```
- **Issue:** India spans multiple UTM zones (42N to 47N). Using a single UTM zone may exclude data points outside that zone.
- **Solution:**
- **Option 1:** Use a broader CRS like **Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)** which covers large areas.
- **Option 2:** Dynamically determine the appropriate UTM zone per data point (more complex).
**Implementing Option 1:**
```python
india_proj = india.to_crs('EPSG:3857')
solar_gdf_proj = solar_gdf.to_crs('EPSG:3857')
```
### **3. Rasterization Process**
- **Check Raster Population:**
```python
populated_pixels = np.sum(~np.isnan(raster_data))
logger.info(f"Number of Populated Pixels: {populated_pixels}")
```
- If `populated_pixels` is zero, it confirms that no data points are being mapped to the raster.
- **Ensure Data Points Fall Within Raster Bounds:**
- **Check Bounds:**
```python
logger.info(f"Raster Bounds: {bounds}")
logger.info(f"Solar Points Bounds: {solar_gdf_proj.total_bounds}")
```
- Confirm that solar points lie within the raster bounds. If not, adjust the raster or projection.
### **4. Adjust Masking Logic**
- **Verify Mask Creation:**
```python
logger.info(f"Mask Sum: {np.sum(mask_raster)}")
```
- Ensure that the mask is correctly applied and that it doesn't exclude all data.
### **5. Handling All-NaN Cases**
- **Add Conditional Checks Before Creating Colormap:**
```python
if np.all(np.isnan(smoothed_masked)):
logger.error("No data available to create colormap. Exiting.")
return
```
- This prevents the script from attempting to create a colormap with invalid thresholds.

### **Key Changes and Additions:**
1. **CRS Adjustment:**
- Changed projection to **Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)** to cover all of India without excluding data points.
2. **Diagnostic Logging:**
- Added logs to verify the number of data points loaded, projected, and rasterized.
- Logged raster bounds and mask application details.
3. **Conditional Checks:**
- Added checks to exit gracefully if no data points are mapped or if the smoothed data contains only `NaN` values.
4. **Bounds Transformation for Folium:**
- Converted raster bounds back to latitude and longitude for accurate placement on the Folium map.
5. **Improved Raster Initialization:**
- Used `np.full` to initialize the raster with `NaN` values more explicitly.
## **Next Steps**
1. **Run the Updated Script:**
- Execute the modified script to see if the error persists.
2. **Validate Data Integrity:**
- Ensure that `india_solar_data.csv` contains valid `longitude`, `latitude`, and `potential` values.
- Verify that the GeoJSON file accurately represents India's boundaries and is correctly formatted.
3. **Visual Inspection:**
- After running the script, inspect `solar_potential_high_res.png` to confirm that the raster data visualizes correctly.
- Open `india_solar_potential.html` in a browser to interact with the map.
4. **Further Enhancements:**
- **Dynamic CRS Handling:** For larger datasets spanning multiple UTM zones, consider more sophisticated projection strategies.
- **Data Validation:** Implement more robust data validation to handle missing or inconsistent data gracefully.
- **Performance Optimization:** For very high-resolution rasters, optimize performance by leveraging more efficient data structures or processing techniques.
## **Conclusion**
The primary issue was that the raster data contained only `NaN` values, leading to invalid colormap thresholds. By adjusting the CRS to cover all of India and adding detailed logging, you can ensure that data points are correctly mapped and visualized. Always validate input data and projections when dealing with geospatial analyses to prevent similar issues.75b962c345d17d6e3c39cda5You are a helpful assistant generating synthetic data that captures *System 1* and *System 2* thinking, *creativity*, and *metacognitive reflection*.

[end sys1] Rapid Stereocomplexation between Enantiomeric Comb-Shaped Cellulose-g-poly(L-lactide) Nanohybrids and Poly(D-lactide) from the Melt. In this work we report the in situ preparation of fully biobased stereocomplex poly(lactide) (SC-PLA) nanocomposites grafted onto nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). The stereocomplexation rate by compounding high-molar-mass poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) with comb-like NCC grafted poly(L-lactide) is rather high in comparison with mixtures of PDLA and PLLA. The rapid stereocomplexation was evidenced by a high stereocomplexation temperature (Tc-sc = 145 °C) and a high SC crystallinity (Xc-sc = 38%) upon fast cooling (50 °C/min) from the melt (250 °C for 2 min), which are higher than currently reported values. Moreover, the half-life crystallization time (175-190 °C) of the SC-PLA was shortened by 84-92% in comparison with the PDLA/PLLA blends. The high(er) stereocomplexation rate and the melt stability of the SC in the nanocomposites were ascribed to the nucleation effect of the chemically bonded NCC and the "memory effect" of molecular pairs in the stereocomplex melt because of the confined freedom of the grafted PLLA chains.
The text discusses the synthesis and properties of biobased stereocomplex poly(lactide) (SC-PLA) nanocomposites grafted onto nanocrystalline cellulose. The rapid stereocomplexation and its benefits over traditional PDLA/PLLA blends are highlighted.

How does the grafting mechanism contribute to these features?" *Creative Perspective:* "Might the nucleation and 'memory effect' mechanisms reveal new pathways to enhance other polymer systems' crystallization processes?" **2.2 Analyze the Information:** We must analyze the role of nanocrystalline cellulose in the rapid stereocomplexation process and its impact on crystallinity and thermal properties. *Reflection:* "Am I considering the molecular interactions thoroughly, especially how NCC grafting affects these dynamics?" *Creative Perspective:* "Could the same principles be applied to other nanoscale systems or biopolymers to achieve similar results?" **2.3 Generate Hypotheses:** 1. Grafted NCC enhances nucleation, accelerating stereocomplexation. (Confidence: 0.9, Creative: 0.5) 2. The memory effect in melt supports rapid crystallization. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.6) 3. High molar mass of PDLA enhances compatibility with grafted PLLA. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5) 4. Faster cooling rates improve SC crystallinity. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.4) 5. Increase in crystallization temperature suggests stable SC formation. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5) 6. NCC serves as a scaffold, directing PLLA chain orientation.

Introduction
============
Heterogeneous disorders affecting kidney structure and function, chronic kidney disease has been treated as a threat to the health of the people all over the world ([@b1-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Due to the recurrent hospitalization, accelerated death and morbidity, increasing research has been devoted to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. As the final manifestation of chronic kidney disease, renal fibrosis is the common pathway for chronic kidney disease towards kidney failure ([@b2-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b3-ijmm-41-06-3577]). It is characterized by an excessive accumulation and deposition of extracellular matrix components. Fibrosis formation could be stimulated by chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, obstructive nephropathy, systemic lupus; hereditary kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney disease, drug-induced kidney disease, hepatitis B or the HIV caused kidney disease and renal transplantation ([@b4-ijmm-41-06-3577]--[@b7-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Among these inducements, with the development of economy and the improvement of people\'s living standard, eating habits caused kidney disease has been widely received attention by scholars. In previous reports, diet-induced increase in plasma oxidized LDL could promote early fibrosis in a renal porcine auto-transplantation model ([@b8-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b9-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Moreover, high fat diet-induced obesity would change kidney-related gene expression and lead to chronic kidney disease formation ([@b10-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b11-ijmm-41-06-3577]). These changes alter normal physiological activity and promote type II diabetes, in turn; diabetes enhancement will increase kidney injury development and fibrosis formation ([@b12-ijmm-41-06-3577]). However, though the medical substantial progress has expanded our knowledge of kidney related diseases, there has been little in the way of new therapies. Hence, the additional intervention, including treatment with chemoprevention from natural products, for the treatment of kidney injury.
To our knowledge, in the development of kidney inflammation, TGF-β1/Smads pathway has been regarded as the most significant in the promotion for fibrosis formation and kidney injury ([@b13-ijmm-41-06-3577]). High fat diet-induced kidney damage also has been thought to be associated with inflammation development. As previously reports, kidney injury as a typical inflammatory response, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway was directly involved in the developmental process of lung injury ([@b14-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b15-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Thus, how to inhibit the activation of NF-κB pathway may be the key point for the treatment of renal inflammation. CX3CL1-CX3CR1 interaction has been indicated as important in many inflammation-related disorder, including hepatitis and fibrosis, nerve damage and tumors ([@b16-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b17-ijmm-41-06-3577]). CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis has the ability to enhance the levels of phosphorylated NF-κB, which in turn, could continually upregulate CX3CL1-CX3CR1 interaction. Crosstalk of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis and NF-κB pathways play a critical role in the inflammatory formation and development ([@b15-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b17-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Hence, we investigated whether CX3CR1 knock out inhibits high fructose-stimulated acute kidney injury by interfering with CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis expression and NF-κB pathways activation. Furthermore, podocyte cells were used as a model to evaluate the effects of CX3CR1 on inflammatory responses.
Materials and methods
=====================
Reagents and animals
--------------------
Fructose (CAS: 53188-23-1, HPLC analysis ≥99%) was purchased from the National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products (Beijing, China). Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (freeze-dried powder) was obtained from Nanjing Biohelper Co., Ltd. (Nanjing, China) and prepared in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at the concentration of 100 *µ*g/ml. The antibodies used in this study were obtained from CST Technology Co. (Danvers, MA, USA). The mouse enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were purchased from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA). Male C57BL/6 mice with CX3CR1 gene-knock out were purchased from Beijing Biocytogen Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). The mice weighting 20--25 g were housed in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment (25±2°C, 50±10% humidity) with a standard 12 h light/dark cycle with food and water. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee on Animal Research at Department of Nephrology, Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA. The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: i) wild-type (WT); ii) Fructose-fed wild-type (Fru-WT); iii) Fructose-fed CX3CR1-knock out mice (Fru-CX3CR1-KO). Fru-WT and Fru-CX3CR1-KO group mice were orally administered with 30% fructose water/day; and the WT mice were orally fed with equal amount of PBS. The entire experimental period was 56 days. All animal experiments were performed in accordance with the guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals established by the US National Institutes of Health.
Cell culture
------------
The conditionally immortalized mouse podocyte cell line was obtained from Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, SIBS, CAS (Shanghai, China). Cells were grown and maintained at 33°C in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), recombinant interferon-γ (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Recombinant lent viral particles encoding CX3CR1 and short hairpin RNA targeting CX3CR1 were produced, concentrated, and titrated. The short hairpin RNA oligonucleotide sequences of CX3CR1 were described earlier ([@b18-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Cells were seeded at 3×10^4^ cells/ml and were infected with recombinant lent virus twice with an interval of 12 h and incubated for 24 h. After 24 h, the medium was refreshed and the cells were cultured for another 24 h. Cells were serum starved for 36 h and stimulated with IL-1β (75 ng/ml) for the indicated time periods.
Biochemical analysis
--------------------
At the end of all experiments, rats were sacrificed by decapitation at 9:30--10:30 a.m. after a 16-h fast in order to avoid the fluctuation of hormone levels due to circadian rhythms. Before this, the insulin tolerance test (ITT) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in accordance with a perviously described method ([@b20-ijmm-41-06-3577]).
Inflammatory cell counts of kidney tissue
-----------------------------------------
The kidney samples were centrifuged (4°C, 3,000 rpm for 10 min) to pellet the cells. The cell pellets were resuspended in PBS for the total cell counts using a hemacytometer, and cytospins were prepared for differential cell counts by staining with the Wright-Giemsa staining method.
Histopathological examination of kidney tissues and flow cytometry analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Histopathological evaluation was performed by Nanjing Biohelper Co., Ltd. (Nanjing, China). Kidneys were fixed with 10% buffered formalin, imbedded in paraffin, and sliced. After hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Red Oil O, Masson and EM pathological changes of tissues were observed under a light microscope or electron microscope. Some samples were subjected to immunohistochemical staining (CX3CL1, CX3CR1 and NF-κB) according to CST technology Co. introduction and performed by Shanghai Zhenda Biotechnology, Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). For flow cytometry analysis, the cells were obtained through shearing kidney tissue, separating by collagenase type II (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) digestion and suspended in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco-BRL, Grand Island, NY, USA). Cell suspensions were centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 5 min to remove cellular debris and impurities. Then, the entire cells were harvested and washed twice in Hank\'s buffer (Gibco-BRL). According to the protocol of R&D kit systems (R&D Systems) for flow cytometry, add anti-CD45 FITC and anti-CD80 FITC antibody to the flow cytometry tube containing single-cell suspension, and these tubes were analyzed by Cytomics™ FC 500 MCL of Beckman Coulter (Brea, CA, USA).
ELISA measurement and biochemical analysis
------------------------------------------
At the end of the experiments, blood were extracted from the eyeball, the different serum concentration of the inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-2, IL-1β and IL-6 were measured using ELISA kits according to the manufacturer\'s instructions (R&D Systems). The other indicators shown in [Table I](#tI-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="table"} were also performed by Shanghai Zhenda Biotechnology, Co., Ltd.
Western blotting and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis
-----------------------------------------------------------
Proteins were extracted from the kidney using T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer\'s instructions. Protein concentrations were determined by BCA protein assay kit, and equal amounts of protein were loaded per well on a 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel. Subsequently, proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The resulting membrane was blocked with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween-20 (TBS-T), supplemented with 5% skim milk (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) at room temperature for 2 h on a rotary shaker, and followed by TBS-T washing. The specific primary antibody, diluted in TBST, was incubated with the membrane at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, the membrane was washed with TBS-T followed by incubation with the peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h. The immunoactive proteins were detected by using an enhanced chemiluminescence western blotting detection kit. Western blot bands were observed using GE Healthcare ECL western blotting analysis system and exposed to Kodak X-ray film. For qRT-PCR experiments, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis were performed as described previously ([@b17-ijmm-41-06-3577]).
Statistical analysis
--------------------
Data are expressed as means ± SEM. Treated cells, tissues and the corresponding controls were compared using GraphPad Prism (version 6.0; GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA) by one-way ANOVA with Dunn\'s least significant difference tests. Differences between groups were considered significant at p\<0.05.
Results

CX3CR1 deficiency ameliorates high fructose-induced metabolic disorder responses and inflammatory cell counts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We investigated that the effect of CX3CR1 deficiency mice on fructose-stimulated kidney injury. As shown in [Table I](#tI-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="table"}, major kidney injury-related indicators in serum such as uric acid, blood urea nitrogen and serum total cholesterol, were significantly increased with the fructose administration, compared to WT group. In contrast, in CX3CR1-KO with fructose treatment mice, these were downregulated, compared with the model. Also, as shown in [Fig. 1A and B](#f1-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}, the serum glucose levels tested by ITT and OGTT were increased in WT+Fru group, compared with CX3CR1-KO. Thus, high fructose is capable of changing metabolic activities and weaken renal function. [Fig. 1C](#f1-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"} shows that inflammation-related cytokines in WT+Fru were significantly upregulated with the increase of treatment in a time-independent manner. Of note, The data of [Fig. 2A-E](#f2-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"} indicated that CX3CR1-KO may suppress the inflammation-related cells in kidneys, including neutrophils and macrophages caused by fructose administration-induced renal injury. These basic biomarkers suggested that CX3CR1 deficiency is capable of suppressing kidney damage with fructose administration.
Influence of CX3CR1 deficiency on inflammation-related cytokines expression in fructose-induced kidney injury
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As indicated in [Fig. 2F-N](#f2-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}, the fructose administration significantly enhance renal injury levels compared to PBS group. Moreover, CX3CR1^−/−^ mice had a lower inflammatory cytokine expression than fructose-fed WT mice. We further investigated the mRNA level expression of inflammatory cytokines. Data in [Fig. 3A](#f3-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"} illustrate that the administration of fructose can increase inflammatory cytokine expression in mRNA level, and downregulate in CX3CR1 deficiency mice. [Fig. 3B](#f3-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"} shows that fructose significantly enhance the ratio of CD45 and CD80 positive cells. In contrast, in CX3CR1-KO mice a lower ratio of positive cells in CD45 and CD80 than fructose-fed WT was seen. The histopathologic examination of kidney tissues in [Fig. 3C](#f3-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"} show the effects of fructose on renal injury. The results indicated that fructose caused lipid accumulation, inflammatory cell infiltration, a certain degree of fibrosis and damage of the tissues structure.
Effects of CX3CR1-KO on CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis-stimulated NF-κB signaling pathway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As showed in [Fig. 4A](#f4-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}, the IHC analysis given the AKT and NF-κB pathways were significantly activated with the administration of fructose. Also, in CX3CR1^−/−^ mice, the phosphorylation of NF-κB is lower than it in WT group. In addition, the western blot data ([Fig. 4B](#f4-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}) showed that AKT-stimulated NF-κB signaling pathway in CX3CR1^−/−^ mice with a significant difference compared with WT. These findings demonstrated that AKT pathway could be a link in the development of fructose-induced inflammation of renal injury, which was directly activated by CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis. The AKT-stimulated NF-κB signaling pathway activation was downregulated when the CX3CR1^−/−^ mice were challenged with fructose administration.
CX3CR1 deficiency inhibits inflammatory response through NF-κB pathway in podocyte cells
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research has demonstrated that the activation of the NF-κB pathway is involved in inflammation-related diseases both in experimental models and in humans. Moreover, CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis has been shown to regulate the NF-κB pathway in multiple cell systems. Hence, we investigated the effect of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis on NF-κB pathway and the induced inflammatory responses with fructose administration. As showed in [Fig. 5A, B and D](#f5-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}, the IκBα degradation level was significantly upregulated in CX3CR1 deficiency, compared with WT mice. The increase of IκBα phosphorylation level results in the upregulation of NF-κB pathway activation, compared to CX3CR1 deficiency mice. The activity of NF-κB is also downregulated in the deficiency mice. Of note, in podocyte cells with CX3CR1 deficiency, the inflammatory cytokines have a lower release levels than WT group ([Fig. 5C](#f5-ijmm-41-06-3577){ref-type="fig"}). Thus, these findings demonstrated that CX3CR1 deficiency has a key role in the inhibitory effect of fructose-induced inflammatory responses.
Discussion
==========
Kidney injury syndrome consisting of chronic inflammatory responses, has been emphasized as a serious health threat world-wide ([@b1-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b19-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Moreover, as a serious syndrome, the formation and development of kidney diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by an excessive accumulation and deposition of extracellular matrix components. Kidney injury formation could be stimulated by chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, obstructive nephropathy, systemic lupus; hereditary kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney disease, drug-induced kidney disease, hepatitis B or the HIV caused kidney disease and renal transplantation. However, the molecular mechanism of high fructose intake-induced chronic kidney disease, even kidney fibrosis is not absolutely explained and reported. In previous studies, renal damage as a typical inflammatory response, NF-κB signaling pathway was directly involved in the developmental process of injury ([@b19-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b20-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Thus, how to inhibit the activation of NF-κB pathway may be the key point for the treatment of renal damage. CX3CL1-CX3CR1 interaction has been treated as important in inflammation-related disorders, including hepatitis and fibrosis, nerve damage and tumor ([@b21-ijmm-41-06-3577]). CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis has the ability to enhance the levels of phosphorylated NF-κB; in turn, NF-κB activation could continually upregulate CX3CL1-CX3CR1 interaction ([@b17-ijmm-41-06-3577],[@b18-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Crosstalk of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis and NF-κB pathways play a critical role in the inflammation and development ([@b17-ijmm-41-06-3577]). Hence, we investigated whether CX3CR1-KO inhibits fructose-stimulated kidney injury by interfering CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis expression and NF-κB pathways activation.
We used C57BL/6 mice to construct fructose-induced renal injury model in order to investigate the effects of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis. The results of our data indicated that fructose administration could cause inflammatory cytokine releases including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, TGF-β and IL-18 in serum. Moreover, the inflammatory cell counts of fructose-induced renal tissues were significantly enhanced. Furthermore, we tested the crucial role of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling pathway in fructose-induced kidney injury. The results showed that CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis is involved in the process of renal damage and could be activated via fructose administration. The activation of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis will further enhance the NF-κB pathway phosphorylation levels. As previous reported the increase of NF-κB pathway phosphorylation leads to inflammatory responses and cytokines production. Researchers have indicated that the activation of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis was associated with AKT pathway **(ref. ?)**. Thus, we further assessed the relationship of AKT pathway and CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis. The data demonstrated that fructose administration has the ability to activate AKT pathway and increase the levels of phosphorylated AKT expression. Phosphorylated AKT expression could significantly enhance the activation of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 pathway and increase the NF-κB pathway activation.
To study the possible role of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis in fructose-induced kidney injury of mice, we used CX3CR1-knock out mice as model to investigate the effects of crosstalk of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis and NF-κB pathways. IHC analysis of IκB of fructose administration showed that IκB was involved in the development of renal injury. Compared with WT group, the CX3CR1^−/−^ mice have a lower IκB activation when challenged with fructose. As the inducer of CX3CR1, we tested the CX3CL1 expression between WT and CX3CR1^−/−^ mice by IHC. The results indicated that CX3CR1 knockout directly impacts the expression of CX3CL1. The AKT signaling pathway may directly or indirectly associate with fructose-induced kidney injury. In knockout mice, the p-AKT expression was determined to be involved in the process of injury. The data indicated AKT as an important upstream of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis may impact CX3CL1-mediated inflammatory responses.
We investigated fructose-induced kidney injury model from the point of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis and its-related indicators. We found that fructose as functional food additive has the ability to cause inflammation by enhancing CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis and NF-κB activation. Also, the phosphorylated AKT could be significantly activated in fructose-induced renal injury via CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis. We further investigated the role of CX3CL1-CX3CR1 pathway in lung injury. CX3CR1 expression between WT and CX3CR1^−/−^ mice were tested to establish their relationship to injury. Our results indicated that CX3CR1 may be the central and major indicator in the process of kidney injury, which mediate the CX3CL1 to activate AKT pathway and further enhance the NF-κB activation.
