5-Aminosalicylic acid given to rats as a single intravenous injection led to necrosis of the proximal convoluted tubules and of the renal papilla. These two lesions developed at the same time and the cortical lesions did not appear to be a consequence of the renal papillary necrosis. Since the compound possesses the molecular structure both of a phenacetin derivative and of a salicylate these observations may be relevant to the problem of renal damage incident to abuse of analgesic compounds and suggest the possibility that in this syndrome cortical lesions may develop independently of renal papillary necrosis. 相似文献

All components of the renin angiotensin system necessary for ANG II generation and action have been reported to be present in renal proximal convoluted tubules. Given the close relationship between renal sodium handling and blood pressure regulation, we hypothesized that modulating the action of ANG II specifically in the renal proximal tubules would alter the chronic level of blood pressure. To test this, we used a proximal tubule-specific, androgen-dependent, promoter construct (KAP2) to generate mice with either overexpression of a constitutively active angiotensin type 1A receptor transgene or depletion of endogenous angiotensin type 1A receptors. Androgen administration to female transgenic mice caused a robust induction of the transgene in the kidney and increased baseline blood pressure. In the receptor-depleted mice, androgen administration to females resulted in a Cre recombinase-mediated deletion of angiotensin type 1A receptors in the proximal tubule and reduced blood pressure. In contrast to the changes observed at baseline, there was no difference in the blood pressure response to a pressor dose of ANG II in either experimental model. These data, from two separate mouse models, provide evidence that ANG II signaling via the type 1A receptor in the renal proximal tubule is a regulator of systemic blood pressure under baseline conditions. 相似文献

In experiments on guinea pigs the pathogenicity of leptospires is manifested by their adhesion to liver cells, colonization of the surface of these cells, accumulation of leptospires in the renal interstice and their colonization of the nephrothelial surface of proximal convoluted tubules in the kidneys, by toxic microcirculatory disturbances, dystrophy and necrosis of nephrothelial cells. Then the primary toxic action of circulating leptospires, microcirculatory disturbances and hemorrhagic syndrome augment during the colonization of the surface of liver cells, accompanied by their dystrophy and dissociation, as well as by jaundice. The accumulation of leptospires in the renal interstice and their subsequent multiplication on the nephrothelium of the proximal convoluted tubules are responsible for the development of interstitial nephritis and necrotic nephrosis. The persistence of lesions in the liver and kidneys, occurring in some cases in spite of elimination of the infective agent from these organs due to increasing antibody production suggests the toxic action of immune complexes. 相似文献

The study investigated the link between the potentially nephrotoxic levels of aluminium ingested in the natural diet of eucalypt leaves by koalas in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, and the high incidence of renal failure in koalas within this habitat. Routine histology of kidney specimens revealed no pathologies at the light microscopic level and contrasted sharply with the clinical signs of renal failure. However staining with solochrome azurine and Perl's Prussian blue showed aluminium was present in some proximal convoluted tubules in all specimens. Aluminium was also found in bone samples. The presence of aluminium in bone and kidney tissues was confirmed using electron dispersive x-ray analysis with transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Ultrastructural changes, including a decrease in lysosomal numbers, were seen in proximal convoluted tubules and these changes were shown to coincide with the presence of aluminium. No aluminium was found in koalas that died from causes other than renal failure. It was concluded that renal failure in the koalas of the Adelaide Hills is characterised by the presence of aluminium in the kidneys and bone and it is probably related to the high levels of aluminium in their restricted diet of eucalypt leaves. However, it is not known if the presence of aluminium is the cause or effect of the renal failure. The study is the first account where aluminium ingested as part of the natural diet of mammals has been shown to accumulate in the animal and be implicated with nephrotoxicity. 相似文献

3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a well-known food contaminant. Although the kidney is thought to be a target organ for 3-MCPD toxicity, nephrotoxic structural changes are relatively unstudied. We investigated the renal alterations caused by 3-MCPD in male albino rats. 3-MCPD was administered orally, at a dose of 60 mg/kg for 7 days. 3-MCPD caused significant elevation of serum creatinine and urea levels together with hydropic degeneration, necrosis and shedding of the cells of the proximal convoluted tubules, urinary casts in the distal convoluted tubules and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. Administration of 3-MCPD for a period as short as 7 days causes acute renal failure in male albino rats. 相似文献

Escherichia coli O157:H7 culture filtrate (O157CF) produced colonic and renal lesions in mice following intraperitoneal or intravenous injection. Colonic lesions were characterized by death and sloughing of both surface and crypt epithelial cells, leading to loss of the mucous membrane and subsequent occult colonic hemorrhage. Several areas of severe colonic damage existed where loss of the epithelium and lamina propria was complete, leaving only the submucosal and smooth muscle layers intact. The colon was the only portion of the gastrointestinal tract affected by O157CF. Renal lesions were characterized by marked vacuolation and general necrosis of proximal convoluted tubular cells, and the presence of numerous exfoliated renal epithelial cells in the lumina of distal convoluted and collecting tubules. A neurogenic response was demonstrated by paralysis of the animals' rear extremities. The mouse was a useful model for detecting and studying in vivo the toxic properties of O157CF. 相似文献

Diclofenac sodium is known to interfere with renal physiology by inhibiting prostaglandins. Previous studies indicate that various nephrotoxins damage proximal renal tubules by altering alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity. APase has been reported to be a function related marker in renal proximal tubular epithelia where it is highly expressed. Present investigation deals with toxicity caused in mice kidney at histological and biochemical levels after diclofenac administration. Diclofenac toxicity was assessed by localizing APase in kidney histochemically and biochemically. Intramuscular diclofenac administration (10 mg/kg/body wt) for 30 days exhibited substantial degeneration in kidney. A marked change in APase activity was observed in histochemical and biochemical studies. A change was noticed in specific activity of APase at different periods of diclofenac treatment. Decrease in specific activity of APase after 10 days (18.41 %) and 30 days (55.3 %) of diclofenac exposure was observed. However, an insignificant hike in APase was observed after 20 days of drug therapy. Similar trends in APase activity were evidenced by the electrophoretic analysis. Histological and ultrastructural observations also corroborated above mentioned findings. Present investigation gives an insight into probable mechanism of renal pathology caused by diclofenac administration in mice. 相似文献

Acute renal failure (ARF) induced with large doses of Gentamicin (GM) (an aminoglycoside) was associated with increased urinary TXB (TXA) excretion which provoked a decrease of the ratios of urinary PGE2/TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI2)/TXB2 excretions. Furthermore, as indicated by light microscopy most of the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubules show obvious lesions varying from swelling of their cytoplasm to complete necrosis. Either the inhibitor, OKY-O46, of TXA-synthetase, or volume expansion (VE) with isotonic saline (IS) of the experimental animals diminished urinary TXB excretion which provoked 1) augmentation of the ratios of urinary PGE/TXB and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TXB excretions, 2) elevation of creatinine clearance (Ccr) and 3) diminution of proteinuria (PU). This protection against ARF-by OKY-O46 and VE can a can be seen in microscopic sections where necrosis of proximal tubules is almost absent. Only a few proximal tubules show swelling of their epithelial cells and some focal areas of tubule necrosis. We suggest that the metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), TXA2 a (potent vasoconstrictor agent) and prostaglandins (PGE2 and PGI2), (potent vasodilator factors), play an important role in the development (TXA2) or in the prevention (PGs) of ARF induced by this antibiotic. 相似文献

A unique opportunity presented itself for a morphologic study of experimental unilateral acute renal failure (ARF) in male rats. The ARF had been induced in the rats by temporary occlusion (1h) of the left renal artery. Twenty-nine rats were divided into subsets as follows: 2-3 h, 24 h, 1 week, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks following release of occlusion. Microdissection showed a heterogeneous population of abnormally structured proximal tubules in which the regressive lesions of tubular necrosis were combined with the progressive reaction of repair. The lesions demonstrated are reminiscent of those which have been described in ARF in the human and in experimental animals. Many proximal tubules in the 2- to 3-hour subset presented 1-3 disruptive lesions (DLs) while greater numbers of proximal tubules from the 24-hour group presented 1-5 DLs. Many proximal tubules presented no DLs, but nearly all from the 24-hour subset (97-100%) displayed a squamate appearance which paralleled and was caused by acute tubular necrosis. At 1 week, a dilated pars recta was common, but by this time, the squamate pattern had disappeared. Many casts were present. At 2 weeks, many fewer casts were present in proximal tubules and none were seen at 4, 8 or 12 weeks. The nephrons, particularly the proximal tubules, presented a variety of structural alterations at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Changes of special interest include (1) the presence of swan-necks; (2) a distinctive squamate appearance of the proximal tubules in the animals killed at 24 h; (3) a spiral, curled appearance caused by differential hyperplasia in animals at 4, 8 and 12 weeks, and (4) a tendency for ischemic lesions to involve all layers of the renal cortex. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that a local reninangiotensin system is operational in the kidney and that it mediates some of the actions of angiotensin II on renal tubules. In this study the ontogeny and renal distribution of the unique precursor to angiotensin II formation, angiotensinogen, was investigated in rats by use of immunohistochemistry, immuno-electron microscopy and non-isotopic hybridization histochemistry. At the light-microscopic level, intense staining for angiotensinogen was found in the proximal convoluted tubules of the cortex, with lighter staining in the straight proximal tubules of the outer stripe. The strongest immunostaining was found in the kidneys of neonatal rats, where glomerular mesangial cells and medullary vascular bundles were also immunopositive. The angiotensinogen content of the kidneys in late gestation embryos and neonates showed the presence of angiotensinogen by day E18 and a peak content in the neonate. Non-isotopic hybridization histochemistry with biotinylated oligodeoxynucleotide probes confirmed the presence of angiotensinogen mRNA expression in the proximal convoluted tubules of the renal cortex. Electron-microscopic immunohisto-chemistry showed staining of relatively few electron-dense structures close to the apical membrane of proximal convoluted tubule cells in the adult kidney. In the neonatal rat kidney, angiotensinogen immunostaining at the electron-microscopic level was found throughout the proximal tubule cells and was markedly stronger than that seen in adult kidney. The presence of angiotensinogen, from embryonic day 18, in the proximal tubules, mesangial cells and vasculature of the kidney suggests multiple potential sites of intrarenal angiotensin II generation with an ontogeny in late gestation. 相似文献

Phosphate deprivation causes a resistance to the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The present study determined whether acute phosphate deprivation alters basal or stimulated activities of key enzymes of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) metabolism in microdissected proximal convoluted and proximal straight tubules, since blunted cAMP levels in these proximal subsegments might account for refractoriness to the effect of PTH on phosphate reabsorption in the proximal convoluted and proximal straight tubule segments. In the proximal convoluted tubules of rats fed a normal-phosphate diet (NPD), PTH increased the adenylate cyclase activity by tenfold. In the proximal convoluted tubule of rats fed a low-phosphate diet (LPD), PTH also increased the adenylate cyclase activity by tenfold. In addition, forskolin increased the adenylate cyclase activity to levels similar to PTH in the proximal convoluted tubule of rats fed NPD or LPD. In the proximal straight tubule of rats fed NPD, PTH resulted in an approximately fivefold increase in adenylate cyclase activity. In the proximal straight tubule of rats fed LPD, PTH resulted in a fourfold increase in adenylate cyclase activity. The forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was markedly decreased (46%) in the proximal straight tubule of phosphate-deprived rats. The cAMP-phosphodiesterase activity in the proximal convoluted tubule was significantly increased by 26% in phosphate-deprived rats. The cAMP-phosphodiesterase activities in the proximal straight tubules from rats fed NPD or LPD were similar. We conclude that distinct differences in key enzymes of cAMP metabolism exist in the proximal convoluted and proximal straight tubule subsegments. Further, phosphate deprivation affects the cAMP-phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase activities differently in these nephron subsegments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The kidney plays a key role in arginine metabolism. Arginine production is controlled by argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS)
and argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) which metabolize citrulline and aspartate to arginine and fumarate whereas arginine consumption
is dependent on arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (GAT), which mediates creatine and ornithine synthesis. Histological and
biochemical techniques have been used to study the distribution and activity of these enzymes in anatomically dissected segments,
in isolated fragments of tubules and in whole tissues. ASS and ASL mRNAs and proteins are expressed in the proximal tubule.
Within this nephron segment, the proximal convoluted tubule has a higher arginine synthesis capacity than the proximal straight
tubules. Furthermore, this arginine-synthesizing portion of the nephron matches perfectly with the site of citrulline reabsorption
from the glomerular filtrate. The kidney itself can produce citrulline from methylated arginine, but this capacity is limited.
Therefore, intestinal citrulline synthesis is required for renal arginine production. Although the proximal convoluted tubule
also expresses a significant amount of GAT, only 10% of renal arginine synthesis is metabolized to guanidinoacetic acid, possibly
because GAT has a mitochondrial localization. Kidney arginase (AII) is expressed in the cortical and outer medullary proximal
straight tubules and does not degrade significant amounts of newly synthesized arginine. The data presented in this review
identify the proximal convoluted tubule as the main site of endogenous arginine biosynthesis. 相似文献

Regional distribution of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) in the rat kidney was studied. The ACE activities in the inner cortex and outer medulla were about 10 and 5 times those in the outer cortex, respectively. The activity in the inner medulla or papilla was much the same as that in the outer cortex. Immunofluorescence was greatest in the proximal tubules in the inner cortex, while the outer medulla and the inner medulla or papilla showed a weak fluorescence. The brush border membranes isolated from the inner cortex also possessed about 10 times the ACE activity seen in the outer cortex. The results indicate that the major source of renal ACE is not the proximal convoluted tubules in the outer cortex, but rather the brush border membranes of proximal tubules in the inner cortex. The contribution of ACE in the inner cortex would therefore be predominant. 相似文献

Non-pregnant rats fed an Mg-deficient diet showed some degenerated and calcified proximal tubules in the inner region of the medullary rays accompanied by reduced or absent enzyme activities. After gentamicin treatment some damaged convoluted proximal tubules occurred. Enzyme histochemistry revealed decreased activities for brush border and lysosomal hydrolases; using immunohistochemistry lesions were detectable for the cytoskeletal proteins keratin and vimentin. Administration of gentamicin to Mg-deficient rats led to a further decrease of hydrolase activities in obviously intact proximal tubules and drastic structural and enzymatic defects as well as alterations of the cytoskeletal proteins in the convoluted and straight segments of other proximal tubules and to a lesser degree also in glomeruli and further portions of the tubular apparatus including the collecting ducts. 相似文献

A renal tubular lesion was induced in male rats by giving them a culture homogenate or culture filtrate of Penicillium verrucosum var. cyclopium by gastric gavage for 20 days. The fungus was obtained from stored maize in an area of endemic nephropathy in Bulgaria. Changes in the proximal convoluted tubules were studied by light and electron microscopy. The lesion was confined to the pars recta in the outer stripe of the outer zone of the medulla. It consisted of degeneration and necrosis of epithelial cells, prominent karyomegaly, arrested mitotic divisions and production of binucleate and tetranucleate tubular cells. Two patterns of degeneration occurred with comparable frequency: a vesicular form with pyknotic nucleus and electron lucent degeneration. Nuclei of the epithelial cells in affected tubules contained segregated nucleoli. The necrotic cells were replaced by actively regenerating cells derived from adjacent viable epithelium. The similarity between the tubular lesions induced in rats and the changes found in patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy is discussed. 相似文献

Both aspirin and phenacetin derivatives were shown to be nephrotoxic when administered to rats as a single intravenous injection. Phenacetin derivatives tended to produce more severe renal damage and to be nephrotoxic in smaller doses than aspirin derivatives. With the exception of a single derivative, the renal lesions were confined to the proximal convoluted tubule, even after administration of compounds which under other conditions have induced renal papillary necrosis. 相似文献

Tissue kallikrein (E.C. 3.4.21.35) and arginine esterase A, another closely related, kinin-generating serine protease, have been localized by immunocytochemistry in rat kidney, using monoclonal antibodies that do not crossreact with other kallikrein-related enzymes or with tonin. Kallikrein was present primarily in the apical cytoplasm of the connecting tubule and the cortical collecting duct. Esterase A, on the other hand, was present primarily in the basolateral region of both proximal and distal straight tubules in the outer medulla and medullary rays. In addition, esterase A was demonstrable in distal convoluted tubules and, to a lesser extent, in proximal convoluted tubules. The presence of different kinin-generating enzymes at these sites would permit the formation of kinins from appropriate substrates on both the vascular and luminal poles of separate segments of the kidney tubule. 相似文献

The DBA/2Cr mouse is characterized by the presence of giant lysosomes located in the proximal convoluted tubules of males and proximal straight tubules of females. However, it remains unclear whether these giant lysosomes in the proximal tubules are characteristic of DBA/2Cr specifically, or are common to other DBA/2 substrains and DBA/1. The present study investigated the morphology of kidneys from DBA/2CrSlc, DBA/2JJcl, DBA/2NCrj and DBA/1JNCrj mice of both sexes. Giant lysosomes in the renal proximal tubules were found to represent common morphological characteristic of both DBA/2 and DBA/1JN. 相似文献
