Proteomic profile of urinary extracellular vesicles from rats with lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression affecting more than 0.5% of the world’s population. Lithium (Li) is the gold-standard treatment for bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant unipolar depression due to its potent effects on preventing both manic and depressive episode. Patients who are taking Li for more than 10-20 years are at risk of chronic kidney disease, which ultimately can lead to end-stage renal disease, hemodialysis, kidney transplantation, and mortality. The Li-induced nephropathy includes interstitial fibrosis, microcysts originating from the distal tubule and the collecting duct, glomerulosclerosis, and tubular atrophy of the proximal tubule as evidenced in human renal biopsies and animal studies. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine using mass spectrometry whether the effects of Li treatment for 2 or 4-weeks on rat kidney proteins are reflected in urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs).
