A synthesized xylan acetate ester, XylA, overcomes the limitations of acetate in the colon and shows potential in alleviating symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by upregulating short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), G-protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41) expression, inhibiting glomerular cell apoptosis, and promoting proliferation.
Acetic acid has been shown to be effective in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is a low-molecular -weight compound that allows it to be absorbed in the upper digestive tract so that it cannot function in colon. To overcome these deficiencies, an acetate-releasing xylan derivative, xylan acetate ester (XylA), was synthesized and selected in this study for its potential in the treatment of CKD. IR, NMR and HPGPC were used to characterize the structure of XylA and its antinephritic effects was evaluated in vivo. The results showed that acetate was successfully grafted onto the C-2 and C-3 positions of xylan and with a molecular weight at 69157 Da. XylA treatments could relieve the symptoms of CKD in an adenine-induced chronic renal failure (CRF) model and an adriamycin-induced focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) model in SD rats. Further study indicated that XylA could upregulate the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in vitro and vivo. Nevertheless, the relative abundance of Phascolarctobacterium in colon was increased after XylA treatment. XylA could upregulate G -pro-tein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41) expression, inhibit glomerular cell apoptosis and promoting proliferation. Our study expands the application of xylan and provides a new idea for the treatment of CKD with acetic acid.
