Immunohistochemical Investigation for Renal Tubules in Adaptive and Maladaptive Repair Process after Renal Tubular Injury in the Kidney of Rats

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) have been thought to be reversible condition, however, emerging evidence demonstrated association between AKI and subsequent development of irreversible fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. In the present study, since recovery of AKI depends on renal tubular regeneration, factors expressing in renal tubules in adaptive or maladaptive repair process were investigated to predict reversibility of kidney injury. In the kidney of female F344 rats subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), regenerative tubules and dilated tubules were observed at 3 and 7 days after I/R. In fibrotic areas of the kidney of male SD rats subjected to I/R, renal tubules were dilated or atrophied. From microarray data of regenerative tubules, survivin, sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 9 (SOX9), and CD44 were extracted as factors possibly relating to tubular regeneration or fibrosis. Immunohistochmical analysis demonstrated that survivin and SOX9 expressed in regenerative tubules, while SOX9 also expressed in renal tubules in fibrotic area, indicating that survivin and SOX9 contribute renal tubular regeneration, but sustained SOX9 expression may lead fibrosis. CD44 expressed in dilated tubules at day 3 and 7, and tubules in fibrotic area, suggesting that CD44 expressed in maladaptive tubules. These information will be helpful to consider reversibility of kidney injury.

Project description:Renal hypoxia is widespread in acute kidney injury (AKI) of various aetiologies. Hypoxia adaptation, conferred through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), appears to be insufficient. Here we show that HIF activation in renal tubules through Pax8-rtTA-based inducible knockout of von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL-KO) protects from rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI. In this model, histological observations indicate that injury mainly affects proximal convoluted tubules, with 5% necrosis at d1 and 40% necrosis at d2. HIF-1alpha up-regulation in distal tubules reflects renal hypoxia. However, lack of HIF in proximal tubules suggests insufficient adaptation by HIF. AKI in VHL-KO mice leads to prominent HIF activation in all nephron segments, as well as to reduced serum creatinine, serum urea, tubular necrosis, and apoptosis marker caspase-3 protein. At d1 after rhabdomyolysis, when tubular injury is potentially reversible, HIF mediated protection in AKI is associated with activated glycolysis, cellular glucose uptake and utilization, autophagy, vasodilation, and proton removal as demonstrated by qPCR, pathway enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry. Together, our data provide evidence for a HIF-orchestrated multi-level shift towards glycolysis as a major mechanism for protection against acute tubular injury. All experiments were carried out in transgenic mice in which selective renal tubular VHL knockout (VHL-KO) was inducible by doxycycline (Reference: Mathia S, Paliege A, Koesters R, Peters H, Neumayer HH, Bachmann S, Rosenberger C. Action of hypoxia-inducible factor in liver and kidney from mice with Pax8-rtTA-based deletion of von Hippel-Lindau protein. Acta Physiol (Oxf). 2013; 207(3):565-76.). Four groups of animals were used: 1) controls: untreated mice; 2) VHL-KO: injected with doxycycline (0.1 mg per 10 g body weight SC), 4 days prior to sacrifice; 3) AKI: rhabdomyolysis; 4) VHL-KO/AKI: doxycycline plus rhabdomyolysis. To induce AKI, 50% glycerol (0.05 ml per 10 g body weight) was injected IM into the left hind limb under isoflurane narcosis. Drinking water was withdrawn between 20 h prior and 24 h after glycerol injection.
