Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models
Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 10% of the global population and is a leading cause of mortality. Kidney fibrosis, a key endpoint of CKD, disrupts nephron tubule anatomy and filtration function, and disease pathomechanisms are not fully understood. Kidney fibrosis is currently investigated with in vivo models, that gradually support the identification of possible mechanisms of fibrosis, but with limited translational research, as they do not fully recapitulate human kidney physiology, metabolism, and molecular pathways. In vitro 2D cell culture models are currently used, as a starting point in disease modeling and pharmacology, however, they lack the 3D kidney architecture complexity and functions. The failure of several therapies and drugs in clinical trials highlights the urgent need for advanced 3D in vitro models. This review discusses the urinary system's anatomy, associated diseases, and diagnostic methods, including biomarker analysis and tissue biopsy. It evaluates 2D and in vivo models, highlighting their limitations. The review explores the state‐of‐the‐art 3D‐humanized in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, on‐chip models, biofabrication techniques, and hybrid models, which aim to mimic kidney morphogenesis and functions. These advanced models hold promise for translating new therapies and drugs for kidney fibrosis into clinics.
