ABSTRACT: This study was designed to investigate gene expression in kidneys of adult Sabra rats (SBH/y and SBN/y rat strains) with two indwelling kidneys or after uni-ninephrectomy, seeking those genes that are differentially expressed between the two strains, and between animals with one or two kidneys. SBH/y after uninephrectomy develop proteinuria to a much greater extent than SBN/y. The study was performed as part of an overall effort to detect the genes that are associated with the pathophysiology of proteinuria. Keywords: Analysis of genes that are differentially expressed in the kidneys, contrasting between an animal strain that tends to develop proteinuria which is amplified by uninephrectomy and another strain that is relatively resistant to the development of proteinuria The experiment was performed in male animals after weaning. Four groups were studied: SBN/y with 2 kidneys (ham uni-nephrectomy), SBN/y after uni-nephrectomy, SBH/y with 2 kidneys (sham uninephrectomy) and SBH/y after uni-nephrectomy. Animals were provided rat chow ad libitum. At age 4 months, 3 months after uninephrectomy or sham operation, animals were sacrificed under ether anesthesia, killed by exsanguination and the kidneys were rapidly removed and snap frozen with liquid nitrogen. The kidneys were stored at -800C until RNA was extracted for the differentiale xpression experiment.

Project description:OVE26 (OVE) mice provide a useful model of advanced diabetic nephropathy (DN) with respect to albuminuria and pathologies. We showed that albuminuria, reduced GFR and interstitial fibrosis, which normally take 8-9 months to develop, are more advanced in uninephrectomized OVE mice within 10 weeks of surgery, at 4.5 months of age. The accelerated progression of renal damage, especially renal fibrosis in OVE-uni mice, was also identified at the gene expression level. The hepatic fibrosis/hepatic stellate cell activation pathway was by far the most significant Ingenuity canonical pathway identified by gene array in OVE-uni mice. Many inflammatory- and immune-related pathways were found among the top pathways up-regulated in OVE-uni kidneys, including acute-phase response signaling, leukocyte extravasation, IL6, IL10, IL12 signaling, TREM1 signaling, dendritic cell maturation and the complement system. These pathways were also dramatically up-regulated in 8-month-old OVE mice (GSE20636). Nephrectomized OVE mice are a much faster alternative model for studying advanced renal disease in diabetes. Study of renal gene expression in diabetic OVE26 mice. Uninephrectomy was used as an accelerating factor. Pooled RNA samples from 4 individual mice in each treatment group (OVE-uni, OVE-sham, FVB-uni, FVB-sham) were used for probe hybridization. Treatment groups: OVE-uni: uninephrectomy treatment in diabetic mice OVE-sham: sham surgery treatment in diabetic mice FVB-uni: uninephrectomy treatment in nondiabetic mice FVB-sham: sham surgery treatment in nondiabetic mice
Project description:The precise physiological mechanisms of cardio-renal syndrome are yet to be elucidated. In order to investigate the molecular basis of cardio-renal syndrome, we established a mouse model for cardio-renal syndrome by the combination of abdominal aortic banding and uninephrectomy. Renal function of the cardio-renal syndrome mice was synergistically decreased compared with that of mice that underwent uninephrectomy alone. To investigate the molecules involved in the deterioration renal function in the AbNx mice, we conducted comprehensive gene expression analysis using DNA array by comparing the molecules expressed in the remained kidney of AbNx mice with those of Nx mice. We conducted abdominal aorta banding or sham operation at 0 week, then We conducted uninephrectomy or sham operation at 2 week. We removed these kidney 6week after the uninephrectomy. These RNA samples were purified from the homogenized kidneys.
Project description:Global gene expression in the 20-week remnant kidneys of uninephrectomized mice fed either a chow or a high fat diet was compared with kidney tissue from the corresponding sham groups. Results provide insight into mechanisms underlying effects of high-fat induced obesity on gene expression in mouse kidney. Male C57/BJ mice aged 6 weeks were randomly assigned to uninephrectomy (UNX) or sham procedures and fed with a high fat diet or control chow diet. All mice were sacrificed under anesthesia 20 weeks after surgery and kidneys were harvested. 3-4 total RNA samples per group were analyzed and gene expression was compared between groups.
Project description:Comparing the effect of unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) or sham operation (sIRI) with delayed contralateral nephrectomy (Nx) or sham operation (sNx) in mouse kidney. IRI was performed on day 0 and the contralateral kidney was removed on day 7. Mice were sacrificed on day 8. Four animals were selected from the sham IRI-sham Nx and sham IRI-Nx groups and six animals were selected from the IRI-sham Nx and IRI-Nx groups for miRNA microArray analysis on the base of their proinflammatory (TNF-α and IL-6 and CCL2) and immune system-related (Complement component 3) mRNA expression levels.
Project description:The pathogenic mechanisms of common kidney glomerular diseases, including the vast majority of cases of proteinuria, remain unknown. To gain insight into the pathogenesis of proteinuria development, we characterized the glomerular gene expression changes that accompany early stages of proteinuria induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.
Project description:Gene expression was studied in whole kidneys in a 2 x 2 design. SBH/y were contrasted with SBN/y under basal conditions and after salt loading. Thus, four groups were studied altogether. Five rats were used in each group. Altogether, 20 animals were used, and each animal was studied separately. Gene expression was done in kidney. Differential gene expression was measured 4 weeks after initiation of salt loading. At that time point hypertension invariably evolves fully in SBH/y but not in SBN/y.<br><br>Affymetrix CHP files are available on request from arrayexpress@ebi.ac.uk
Project description:Renal gene expression analysis was performed in mouse strains with different propensity to develop progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) after subtotal nephrectomy: the FVB strain which is spontaneously highly predisposed to CKD and the C57BL/6 which is spontaneously not predisposed to CKD. Subtotal nephrectomy (Nx) is normally initially compensated by proliferative tissue repair (2 days after nephrectomy). After this initial proliferation follows a quiescent period (28 days after NX). Finally, specifically in the sensitive strain there is lesion onset (53 days after Nx). Gene expression was monitored on RNA from whole kidneys from different mouse strains Sham operated or Nephrectomised at three different time-points.
