The chemokine CXCL16 plays an important role in the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation influencing the course of experimental glomerulonephritis. Here we show that human kidneys highly express CXCL16 in the distal tubule, connecting tubule and principal cells of the collecting duct with weak expression in the thick ascending limb of Henle. Beside the membrane localization, a soluble form of CXCL16 can be proteolytically released which acts as a chemotactic factor. In human renal tissue the expression pattern of the disintegrin-like metalloproteinase ADAM10 is similar to that of CXCL16, suggesting ADAM10 can potentially cleave CXCL16 in vivo. When we tested this in primary tubular cells we found that blockade of ADAM10 activity inhibited the IFN-gamma induced release of soluble CXCL16. Acute tubular damage in renal allografts was associated with elevated urinary CXCL16 and this correlated with focally increased apical CXCL16 expression in the distal tubules and collecting ducts. Renal allograft biopsies, with a histopathological diagnosis of acute interstitial rejection, showed increased basolateral ADAM10 expression together with high numbers of infiltrating T cells. Our results suggest that CXCL16 and ADAM10 are involved in the recruitment of T cells to the kidney and play an important role in inflammatory kidney diseases.
