Abstract:
:Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is one of the most important histologic features that predicts progression in kidney disease. Thrombospondin 1 is an extracellular matrix protein that can activate latent TGF-beta, a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of tubulointerstitial fibrosis. We examined the expression of thrombospondin 1 in several animal models of glomerulonephritis (anti-Thy1 model, aminonucleoside nephrosis, passive Heymann nephritis) that are associated with tubulointerstitial disease. Thrombospondin 1 mRNA and protein were transiently increased in tubular cells, myofibroblasts and some macrophages in areas of tubulointerstitial injury. Thrombospondin 1 expression always preceded the development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and correlated quantitatively and spatially with the later development of interstitial fibrosis. Thrombospondin 1 expression predicted the severity of tubulointerstitial fibrosis better than the degree of macrophage or myofibroblast accumulation. Thrombospondin 1 expression was associated with increased expression and activation of TGF-beta1 and decreased expression of LAP-TGF-beta in areas of tubulointerstitial injury. We conclude that thrombospondin 1 is an early marker predicting the development of tubulointerstitial kidney disease. De novo expression of thrombospondin 1 is associated and colocalized with increased expression of TGF-beta1 and decreased expression of LAP-TGF-beta during the development of tubulointerstitial disease in vivo. These data are consistent with the possibility that thrombospondin 1 may be an endogenous activator of TGF-beta.
