| T1 |
0-94 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Ischemia-reperfusion injury stimulates gelatinase expression and activity in kidney glomeruli. |
| T2 |
95-304 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Although ischemia remains the leading cause of acute renal failure in humans, there is little information on the expression and activities of gelatinases of kidney glomeruli during ischemia-reperfusion injury. |
| T3 |
305-461 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In this study, we used a unilateral ischemia-reperfusion model to investigate the activity and expression of gelatinases in glomeruli during acute ischemia. |
| T4 |
462-592 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Unilateral ischemia was induced in rats by vascular clamping (30 min) followed by reperfusion (60 min) and isolation of glomeruli. |
| T5 |
593-703 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The activity and expression of gelatinase proteins were determined by gelatin zymography and Western blotting. |
| T6 |
704-771 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
Gelatinase mRNA levels were evaluated by reverse transcriptase-PCR. |
| T7 |
772-864 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ischemia and reperfusion increased serum creatinine levels, hallmark of acute renal failure. |
| T8 |
865-916 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ischemia induced mRNA and protein MMP-2 expression. |
| T9 |
917-1017 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
There was strong stimulation of MMP-9 mRNA, both forms of dimeric MMP-9, and active monomeric MMP-9. |
| T10 |
1018-1102 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In contrast to TIMP-1 decreasing, TIMP-2 protein and mRNA increased during ischemia. |
| T11 |
1103-1258 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
During reperfusion, there was a gradual reversal of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels and a strong inhibition of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 at the protein and mRNA levels. |
| T12 |
1259-1354 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Endocytic receptor LRP was increased during ischemia and returned to normal during reperfusion. |
| T13 |
1355-1431 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Expression of MMP-9 docking receptor CD-44 was increased during reperfusion. |
| T14 |
1432-1569 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Finally, ZO-1, an in vivo MMP-9 substrate, was degraded during ischemia, revealing that MMP-9 upregulated during ischemia was functional. |
| T15 |
1570-1749 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Our data suggest that stimulation of gelatinase activity during ischemia could contribute to glomeruli injury, providing new therapeutic targets for acute renal failure in humans. |
| T16 |
1750-1878 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In contrast, elevated monomeric MMP-9 activity due to TIMP-1 decrease during reperfusion may participate to glomerular recovery. |
