Abstract：
:Although Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction in various forms of kidney injury is protective, its role in age-related renal pathology is unknown. In the ageing kidney there is nephron loss and lesions of focal glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy and arteriolosclerosis. Underlying mechanisms include podocyte (visceral glomerular epithelial cell/GEC) injury. To assess whether HO-1 can attenuate ageing - related lesions, rats with GEC-targeted HO-1 overexpression (GECHO-1 rats) were generated using a Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system and extent of lesions over a 12-month period were assessed and compared to those in age-matched wild-type (WT) controls. GECHO-1 rats older than 6 months developed albuminuria that was detectable at 6 months and became significantly higher compared to age-matched WT controls at 12 months. In GECHO-1 rats, lesions of focal segmental and global glomerulosclerosis as well as tubulointerstitial lesions were prominent while podocytes were edematous with areas of foot process effacement and glomerular basement membrane thickening and wrinkling. GECHO-1 rats also developed hemoglobinuria and hemosiderinuria associated with marked tubular hemosiderin deposition and HO-1 induction, while there was depletion of splenic iron stores. Kidney injury was of sufficient magnitude to increase serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and was oxidative in nature as shown by increased expression of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdg, a byproduct of oxidative DNA damage) in podocytes and tubular epithelial cells. These observations highlight a detrimental effect of podocyte-targeted HO-1 overexpression on ageing-related renal pathology and point to increased renal iron deposition as a putative underlying mechanism.
