Project description:The left kidneys of 8 Sprague-Dawley rats were removed and the rats were left for 2 weeks to recover. After 4 additional days (during which blood pressure measurements were obtained), they were injected daily subcut. with either saline (1ml/kg), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, 0.2mg/kg) or dexamethasone (DEX, 0.02mg/kg) for 8 days before the right kidney was removed. ACTH and DEX treatment caused hypertension in the rats as illustrated by increased systolic blood pressure. The gene expression patterns of the kidneys were analysed using Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) causes acute kidney injury (AKI) with high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to ameliorate kidney IR injury and identify novel biomarkers for kidney injury and repair. Methods: Left renal ischemia was induced in rats by clamping renal artery for 45 minutes, followed by reperfusion and right nephrectomy. Thirty minutes prior to ischemia, rats (n=8/group) received Valproic Acid (150 mg/kg; VPA), Dexamethasone (3 mg/kg; Dex) or Vehicle (Saline) intraperitoneally. Animals were sacrificed at 3h, 24h or 120h post- IR and blood, urine and kidney were collected. Results: Serum creatinine (mg/dL) at 24 h IR in VPA (2.7±1.8) and Dex (2.3±1.2) was reduced (P<0.05) compared to Vehicle (3.8±0.5). At 3h post-IR, urine albumin (mg/ml) was higher in Vehicle (1.47±0.10), VPA (0.84±0.62) and Dex (1.04±0.73) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.14±0.26) group. At 24h post-IR urine Lipocalin-2 (µg/ml) was significantly higher (P<0.05) in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (9.61-11.36) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.67±o.29); also, Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1; ng/ml) was significantly higher in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (13.7-18.7) compared uninjured/untreated control (1.7±1.9). KIM-1 levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all groups compared to uninjured/untreated control levels. Histopathology at 3h post IR demonstrated (P<0.05) reduction in ischemic injury in the renal cortex in VPA (Grade 1.6± 1.5) compared to Vehicle (Grade 2.9±1.1) group. Inflammatory cytokines IL1β and IL6 were down-regulated in VPA and Dex groups. BCL2 was higher in VPA group. DNA microarray analysis demonstrated reduced stress response and injury, and improved recovery related gene expression in the kidneys of VPA treated animals. Conclusions: VPA administration reduced kidney IR injury and improved regeneration. KIM-1 and Lipocalin-2 appear to be promising early urine biomarkers of acute ischemic kidney injury. We had three experimental groups. Group A, VPA treatment; Group B, Dexamethasone treatment; and Group C, No treatment (vehicle saline control). Treatments were administered prior to the induction of left renal ischemia. Animals underwent 45 minutes of left renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion, and right nephrectomy as described above. Following reperfusion, animals were sacrificed at 3, 24 or 120 hours (n=8/group). In the 3 hour group, rats were maintained under anesthesia after surgery until sacrifice. In the 24 and 120 hour groups, the rats were recovered and returned to the cages for normal housing. Analgesic buprenorphine (0.05mg/kg) was administered every 12 h for three days post-operatively. After animal sacrifice, urine, blood, and kidney were collected for kidney functional biomarker assays, histology and / or molecular analyses. Urine was obtained via cystocentesis and blood was obtained via the left renal vein. Tissue and urine samples collected from normal (naïve) animals (n=5) were used for baseline measurements. A subset of 46 animals (n = 4-5 per group) were selected for microarray analysis.

Project description:The experiment was designed to study the effects of blood pressure on gene expressions in the kidney cortex. Kidney cortex was harvested from seven SHR rats and eight WKY rats at 60 weeks of age. Both right and left kidney were taken out and pooled during RNA extraction

Project description:SS rats were surgically implanted with a chronic servo-control cuff, the purpose of which is to maintain normal pressure to the left kidney while the right kidney is exposed to high blood pressure. After 7 days of high salt treatment, which induces high blood pressure in the SS rat, rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital, kidneys were flushed and removed. The renal medulla was separated from the cortex using scissors, and the renal medullas were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C.

Project description:We created a rat renal congestion model and investigated the effect of renal congestion on hemodynamics and molecular mechanisms. The inferior vena cava (IVC) between the renal veins was ligated by suture in male Sprague-Dawley rats to increase upstream IVC pressure and induce congestion in the left kidney only. Left kidney congestion reduced renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and increased renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure. Tubulointerstitial and glomerular injury and medullary thick ascending limb hypoxia were observed only in the congestive kidneys. Molecules related to extracellular matrix expansion, tubular injury, and focal adhesion were upregulated in microarray analysis. Renal decapsulation ameliorated the tubulointerstitial injury. Electron microscopy captured pericyte detachment in the congestive kidneys. Transgelin and platelet-derived growth factor receptors, as indicators of pericyte-myofibroblast transition, were upregulated in the pericytes and the adjacent interstitium. With the compression of the peritubular capillaries and tubules, hypoxia and physical stress induce pericyte detachment, which could result in extracellular matrix expansion and tubular injury in renal congestion.

Project description:We used Affymetrix GeneChips to expression profile kidneys from Dahl salt-senstive hypertensive inbred strain and less hypertensive S.LEW(D1MCO4x1x3Bx1) congenic strain to identify genes downstream of Adamts16 (the function of Adamts16 has yet to be fully delineated). The S.LEW(D1MCO4x1x3Bx1) congenic animal is an S rat containing the LEWIS allele for Adamts16 instead of the S allele. It is hypothesized that allelic differences in Adamts16 in inbred rats is responsible for blood pressure variance. We further hypothesize that gene expression differences in the kidneys of S.LEW(D1MCO4x1x3Bx1) versus S result from sequence differences between the S and LEWIS alleles of Adamts16. Lastly, the downstream genes differentially regulated by the Adamts16 alleles may provide insight pertaining to the mechanism of blood pressure differences. Gene expression differences resulting from these kidney comparisons will be compared to the gene expression profiling experiments comparing siRNA-mediated knockdown of Adamts16 in NRK-52E kidney cells versus scrambled siRNA control. Experiment Overall Design: Kidney RNA from 3 Dahl salt-sensitive rats was extracted for target preparation and hybridization onto Affymetrix GeneChips. We also isolated kidney RNA from 3 S.LEW(D1MCO4x1x3Bx1) congenic rats for target preparation and hybridization onto Affymetrix GeneChips.

Project description:In the present study, goal was to scan the potential biomarker for acute kidney injury induced by aristolochic acid I (AAI).We utilized the microarry analysis to investigate the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in kidneys from rat treated by 40mg/kg AA I for 2-6 days. miRNAs with significantly different expression of global miRNA expression profile were validated by qRT-PCR. For miRNAs still significantly disregulation, we further examined the expression in plasma of rats treated with AAI dosed at 10, 20 and 40mg/kg AAI for 2-6 days by qRT-PCR. miRNAs with significantly dysregulation in plasma, their expression in brain, liver and heart was examined for kicking out the non-specific disregulation in AAI induced acute kidney injury, so that the significant dysregulation miRNAs with specificity in kidney and plasma was found as potential biomarkers for AAI induced acute kidney injury. Five control and 15 kidneys treated with 40mg/kg AAI on day 2, 4 and 6 was examined by microarray.
