Protein-bound uremic toxins,such as p-cresyl and indoxyl sulfate (IS), are poorly removed during hemodialysis, leading to vascular endothelial dysfunction andleukocyte extravasation. These processes can be related to dynamic adhesion structures called podosomes. Several studies haveindicated the role of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) in the accumulation of integrin-associated proteins in podosomes. Here, weinvestigated the involvement of ILK and podosome formation in the adhesion and extravasation of monocytes under p-cresol (pc)and IS exposure. Incubation of THP-1 human monocyte cells with these toxins upregulated ILK kinase activity. Together, both toxinsincreased cell adhesion, podosome formation, extracellular matrix degradation, and migration of THP-1 cells, whereas ILK depletionwith specific small interfering RNAs suppressed these processes. Interestingly, F-actin colocalized with cortactin in podosome cores,while ILK was colocalized in podosome rings under toxin stimulation. Podosome Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-interacting protein (WIP) and AKT protein depletion demonstrated that monocyte adhesion depends on podosome formation andthat the ILK/AKT signaling pathway is involved in these processes. Ex vivo experiments showed that both toxins induced adhesionand podosome formation in leukocytes from wild-type mice, whereas these effects were not observed in leukocytes of conditionalILK-knockdown animals. In summary, under pc and IS stimulation, monocytes increase podosome formation and transmigratorycapacity through an ILK/AKT signaling pathway-dependent mechanism, which could lead to vascular injury. Therefore, ILK could bea potential therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular damage associated with CKD.
