Indoxyl Sulfate (IS), also known as 3-indoxylsulfate and 3-indoxylsulfuric acid, is a metabolite of dietary L-tryptophan that acts as a cardiotoxin and uremic toxin[1]. Indoxyl Sulfate is taken up by proximal tubular cells through organic anion transporters (OAT1, OAT3), and it induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) with impairment of cellular antioxidative system[2-3].
Indoxyl Sulfate (62.5-1000µM;24h) induces intestinal damage via inhibiting mitophagic flux in Caco2 cells[4]. Indoxyl Sulfate (1 mM;12 h) induces fibrotic responses of tubular epithelial cells, renal fibroblasts, and macrophages via mTORC1 signaling [5]. Indoxyl Sulfate (1 mM;24 h) induces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the differentiated 3T3L-1 adipocyte[6].
After injection of Indoxyl Sulfate (100 mg/kg; i.p; 8 weeks), the intestinal macroscopical damage and permeability of mice increased, and the serum Indoxyl Sulfate level increased [4]. Indoxyl Sulfate (10-3 M, 60 min) augments ET-1-induced contraction in rat aortae [7]. Indoxyl Sulfate (200 mg/kg/day of Indoxyl Sulfate in water) downregulates renal expression of Nrf2 through activation of NF-κB, followed by downregulation of HO-1 and NQO1 and increased production of ROS[8]. Indoxyl Sulfate increased endothelin-1-induced contraction but had no effect on phenylephrine, thromboxane analog, or isotonic K+-induced renal arterial contractions[9].
