CD-1db/db mice: A novel type 2 diabetic mouse model with progressive kidney fibrosis.


ABSTRACT: AIMS/INTRODUCTION:To establish novel therapies to combat diabetic kidney disease, a human disease-relevant animal model is essential. However, a type 2 diabetic mouse model presenting progressive kidney fibrosis has not yet been established. Kidneys of streptozotocin-induced diabetic CD-1 mice showed severe fibrosis compared with other backgrounds of mice associated with the suppression of antifibrotic peptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline. The BKS background (BKSdb / db ) is often utilized for diabetic kidney disease research; the kidney fibrosis in the BKSdb / db phenotype is minimal. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We generated CD-1db / db mice by backcrossing the db gene into the CD-1 background, and analyzed phenotypic differences compared with BKSdb / db and CD-1db / m mice. RESULTS:Male CD-1db / db mice appeared to have elevated blood glucose levels compared with those of BKSdb / db mice. Fasting insulin levels declined in CD-1db / db mice. Plasma cystatin C levels tended to be elevated in CD-1db / db mice from 16 to 24 weeks-of-age. Male CD-1db / db mice showed significantly progressive kidney and heart fibrosis from 16 to 24 weeks-of-age when compared with that of age-matched BKSdb / db mice. The gene expression profile showed fibrogenic program-associated genes in male CD-1db / db mice. Male CD-1db / db mice displayed significantly lower urine antifibrotic peptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline when compared to that of BKSdb / db at 24 weeks-of-age. The gene expression of prolyl oligopeptidase, the enzyme essential for antifibrotic peptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline production from thymosin ?4, was significantly lower in the CD-1 mice. Thymosin ?4 levels were also lower in CD-1 mice. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that CD-1db / db mice are a novel type 2 diabetic mouse model with progressive kidney and heart fibrosis.
