METHODS: FHF was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in D-galactosamine (GAIN) sensitized BALB/c mice. There were 20 mice in normal saline (NS)-treated group, 20 mice in LPS-treated group, 20 mice in GaIN- treated group, and 60 mice in GalN/LPS-treated group (FHF group). Liver and kidney tissues were obtained at 2, 6, and 9 h after administration. The liver and kidney specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for studying morphological changes under light microscope. The expression of IP3R I in kidney tissue was tested by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. RESULTS: Kidney tissues were morphologically normal at all time points in all groups. IP3R I proteins were found localized in the plasma region of glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in kidney by immunohistochemical staining. In kidney of mice with FHF at 6 h and 9 h IP3R I staining was upregulated. Results from Western blot demonstrated consistent and significant increment of IP3R I expression in mice with FHF at 6 h and 9 h (t = 3.16, P 〈 0.05; t = 5.43, P 〈 0.01). Furthermore, we evaluated IP3R I mRNA expression by RT-PCR and observed marked upregulation of IP3R I mRNA in FHF samples at 2 h, 6 h and 9 h compared to controls (t = 2.97, P 〈 0.05; t = 4.42, P 〈 0.01; t = 3.81, P 〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: The expression of IP3R I protein increased in GMC and renal VSMC of mice with FHF, possibly caused by up-regulation of IP3R I mRNA.展开更多

Hematoxylineosin staining of liver tissue was performed to assess hepatocyte necrosis. Electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes in the kidney. Western blot analysis and real-time PCR were performed to detect the expression of IP3 RI protein and m RNA in the kidney, respectively.RESULTS Hepatocyte necrosis was aggravated gradually, which was most significant at 12 h after treatment with D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide, and was characterized by massive hepatocyte necrosis. At the same time, serum levels of biochemical indicators including liver and kidney function indexes were all significantly changed. The structure of the renal glomerulus and tubules was normal at all time points. Western blot analysis indicated that IP3 RI protein expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 12 h(P < 0.01). Real-time PCR demonstrated that IP3 RI m RNA expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 9 h(P < 0.01).CONCLUSION IP3 RI protein expression is increased in the kidney of HRS rats, and may be regulated at the transcriptional level.展开更多
