1 Mayo Clinic O Brien Urology Research Center Lessons Learned from Endoscopy August 22, 2015 Amy Krambeck, MD Mayo Clinic Department of Urology John C. Lieske, MD Fang Zhao, MD Mayo Clinic Division of Nephrology & Hypertension Nicholas Chia, PhD Department of Surgery

2 New Aims Specific Aim #1: Accurately map kidney stone location and precursor lesions after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in defined groups of patients Determine clinical and laboratory factors that predict the presence of plaque versus plug Correlate stone composition and stone precursor lesions with findings on dual energy CT scan using refined data analysis algorithms Hypothesis: Renal stone precursor lesions will differ in each group of patients, and within the CaOx group. Hypercalciuria will predict plaque coverage while urinary ph and CGI will predict plugs. Refined dual-energy CT technology will allow accurate classification of stone localization and composition.

3 New Aims Specific Aim #2: Define dual energy CT algorithms to predict stone fragility Hypothesis: Stone characteristics by DECT will allow prediction of stone susceptibility prior to intraoperative disruption. Specific Aim #3: Determine the gene expression profile of papillary tip biopsies with minimal and maximal plaque and plugs Hypothesis: Patients with extensive amounts of plaque will have different gene expression profiles from those with plugs, and both will differ from controls

4 New Aims Specific Aim #4: Characterize the microbiome of urine and kidney stones of patients with diverse types of stones. Hypothesis: The urinary and stone microbiome contributes to stone composition, growth upon plaque or plug, and will differ by stone type.

5 Mapping protocol 78 consecutive patients undergoing PCNL Stones were removed Analyzed using µ-ct and IR Each accessible calyx was endoscopically mapped using a flexible digital nephroscope Biopsies were acquired 24hr urine chemistries Supersaturations (EQUIL2) Crystal inhibition CaOx seeded crystal growth assay Kuo et al. J Urol, 170:2186, 2003

6 Randall s Plaque Summary 98.7% patients mapped had some RP 67.9% had plaque in all calyces Plaque SA covered a mean of 3.0% (±3.3%) 3.5 % (±4.6%) in CaOx 1.7 % (±1.6%) in UA No correlation between urinary analytes and amount of plaque Volume p= 0.20 ph p= 0.07 Calcium p= 0.72 Linnes et al: Kidney Int Oct;84(4):818-25

7 Ductal plugs are common in CaP stone formers Video Mapping Plug % CaOx CaOx -MAL CaPO4 Stone Type Other Struvite UricAcid Linnes et al: Kidney Int Oct;84(4):818-25

8 Urine Correlations with Tubular Plugging Plugging correlates with: High ph (p=0.02) Low Citrate (p=0.02) High Apatite & Br SS (p=0.007 & 0.005) Linnes et al: Kidney Int Oct;84(4):818-25

9 Further Plaque Evaluation 42 ICSF PCNL patients with urolithiasis 15 men and 27 women Mean age 62 years old 10 non-stone forming controls undergoing PCNL for other indications 8 men and 2 women Mean age 73 years old Wang X, et al. Distinguishing Characteristics of Idiopathic Calcium Oxalate Kidney Stone Formers with Low Amounts of Randall's Plaque. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2014

10 Results 90% of controls and 75% stone formers had plaque coverage less than 5% (p=0.67) Upper 25% Lower 75% Controls ICSF

11 Clinical Characteristics ICSF with high plaque (n=10) ICSF with low plaque (n=32) P value Age ( yr) 61±7 62± Male 6(60%) 8(25%) BMI 27±2.5 31± BMI>30 1(10%) 16(50%) 0.03 History of stone events 10(100%) 21(66%) 0.04 Prior stone events 4 8(80%) 7(22%) History of UTI 0(0%) 11(34%) 0.04 Hypertension 4(40%) 13(42%) 0.92 DM 1(10%) 10(31%) 0.25

12 Urine Chemistry ICSF with high plaque (n=9) ICSF with low plaque (n=27) P value ph 6.3± ± Osmolality 444± ± Urine volume (l/24h) 2.5± ± Uric acid (mg/24h) 555± ± Sodium (mmol/24h) 170±97 134± Potassium (mmol /24h) 65±22 55± Calcium (mg/24h) 291±99 187± Phosphate (mg/24h ) 980± ± Magnesium (mg/24h) 112±32 91± Chloride (mmol/24h) 148±88 126± Creatinine ( mg/24h) 1369± ± Sulfate (mmol /24h) 21±11 15±5 0.04

13 Stone Culture 19% of low plaque ICSF had a + stone culture Diverse organisms: Corynebacterium (n=2), E. coli (n=1), enterococcus (n=1), Garnerella vaginalis (n=1), and Pseudomonas (n=1) None of high plaque group (P=0.059) Plaque coverage trended lower among low plaque ICSF with + stone culture 1.4% vs 4.0%, p=0.19

14 Stone morphology by micro CT Likely to arise upon a Randall s plaque Unlikely to arise upon a Randall s plaque 26% of low plaque ICSF had unlikely RP stones None of high plaque ICSF did (p=0.04)

15 Calcium Deposits by Yasue Staining Punctate Punctate Dense Fraction of ICSF, % Low plaque ICSF High plaque ICSF Low plaque ICSF tended to have lesser amounts of punctate and dense crystallization

16 Conclusion Low Plaque vs. High Plaque Stone formers with low amount of plaque had distinguishing characteristics Fewer prior stone events Lower urine calcium excretion Obese Past history of UTI and positive stone culture Stones often lack a calcium phosphate core Less punctate and dense crystallization

23 Summary of biological function of confirmed DE genes Genes Up-regulated in High Plaques group CHI3L1 CHI3L1 is able to bind both proteins and carbohydrates that allows potential interactions with a variety of cell-surface and extracellularmatrix proteins EPHA3 Plays a role in cardiac cells migration and differentiation and regulates the formation of the atrioventricular canal and septum during development. CRTAC1 May be involved in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions. ALB Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc SMOC1 This gene encodes a multi-domain secreted protein that plays essential roles in both eye and limb development. Probable regulator of osteoblast differentiation

24 Summary of biological function of confirmed DE genes Genes Down-regulated in High Plaques group MMP19 Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix May also play a role in neovascularization or angiogenesis. S100A8 Promote vascular calcification by providing necrotic bodies as calcification nidus UPK3A Encodes a member of the uroplakin family, a group of transmembrane proteins that form complexes on the apical surface of the bladder epithelium Contributes to the formation of urothelial glycocalyx which may play an important role in preventing bacterial adherence
