Temporal changes in renal endoglin and TGF-beta1 expression following ureteral obstruction in rats.

Abstract:

:Chronic renal disease is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the kidney and a loss of renal function. Tubulointerstitial fibrosis has been reported to play an important role in the progression of chronic renal diseases. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a profibrotic cytokine playing a major contribution to fibrotic kidney disease. Endoglin is a membrane glycoprotein of the TGF-beta1 receptor system. The aim of this work was to determine the time-course expression of renal type I and IV collagens, endoglin and TGF-beta1 in a rat model of induced tubulointerstitial fibrosis at 1, 3, 10 and 17 days after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In 17 days-ligated (L)-renal samples, a marked interstitial fibrosis was detected by Masson's trichromic and Sirius red staining, accompanied by an increase in type I collagen expression as shown by immunohistochemical analysis. Northern blot studies revealed a progressive increase in collagen alpha2(I), TGF-beta1 and endoglin mRNA expression in L kidneys when compared with the corresponding non-ligated (NL) kidneys from the animals subjected to left UUO. Seventeen days after UUO, significant increases in collagen alpha2(I), collagen alpha1(IV), TGF-beta1 and endoglin mRNA levels were detected in L kidneys vs NL kidneys. Significantly higher levels of the protein endoglin were found in L kidneys than in NL kidneys 10 and 17 days following obstruction. A marked increase expression for endoglin and TGF-beta1 was localized in renal interstitium by immunohistochemical studies 17 days after obstruction. In conclusion, this work reports the upregulation of endoglin coincident to that of its ligand TGF-beta1 in the kidneys of rats with progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis induced by UUO.
