TLR4 knockout in macrophages attenuates renal inflammation and renal fibrosis in vivo. a) The diagram shows the experimental protocol. Bone marrow chimera models were established by transplanting the WT bone marrow to WT mice, or TLR4 KO bone marrow to WT mice. Mice were irradiated at a single dose of 1100 Rads and then underwent bone marrow transplantation. After 8 weeks of successful transplantation, a unilateral ischemia‐reperfusion (UIRI) model was established. b) PCR‐based identification of kidney genotypes in the recipient mice of bone marrow transplantation models using TLR4 mutation site primers and wild‐type site primers, respectively. c,d) Graphic presentations show serum creatinine (Scr) (c) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (d) levels in different groups as indicated at 11 days after IRI. * p < 0.05 versus WT‐WT (n = 4–6). e,f) Western blot analyses show renal expression of TLR4, p‐P65, and P65 in different groups as indicated. Representative Western blot (e) and quantitative data (f) are shown. * p < 0.05 versus WT‐WT (n = 4–6). g) Representative micrographs show renal expression and co‐localization of TLR4 and F4/80 by immunofluorescence staining in different groups as indicated. The areas between the dashed lines represent the corticomedullary junction of the kidney. h,i) Western blot analyses show renal expression of MR, Arg‐1, iNOS, TNF‐α, and CCL2 in different groups as indicated. Representative Western blot (h) and quantitative data (i) are shown. * p < 0.05 versus WT‐WT (n = 4–6). j,k) Western blot analyses show renal expression of TNC, FN, and α‐SMA in different groups as indicated. Representative Western blot (j) and quantitative data (k) are shown. * p < 0.05 versus WT‐WT (n = 4–6). l) A schematic diagram shows a crucial role of TNC in organizing the proinflammatory and profibrotic niche. By integrating single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we unveil TNC as a central organizer of the proinflammatory and profibrotic niche in kidney fibrosis. TNC promotes macrophage activation through TLR4/NF‐κB signaling, leading to macrophage activation, proliferation, and cytokine production.
