Abstract
Cellular, molecular, and ultrastructural nephron changes associated with ischemia reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury (IRI-AKI) are not completely understood. Here, a multidisciplinary study was used to identify nephron changes in a mouse model of IRI-AKI. Histological analyses indicated distended Bowman's glomerular spaces and proximal and distal tubules. Increased filtrate volume in nephrons was caused by reduced water reabsorption by severely damaged proximal tubule brush borders and blocked flow of filtrate into collecting tubules by mucoprotein casts in distal tubules. Immunohistochemistry revealed protein AKI biomarkers in proximal tubules and glomeruli but not in distal tubules. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed several metabolites that increased such as valine alanine and lactate. Other metabolites such as trigonelline, succinate, 2-oxoisocaproate, and 1- methyl-nicotinamide decreased or were absent in urine following IRI due to altered kidney function or metabolism. Urinary glucose increased due to reduced reabsorption by damaged proximal tubule brush borders. Scanning electron microscopy revealed flattening of podocytes and pedicals surrounding glomerular capillaries and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed effacement of podocyte pedicals, both consistent with increased hydrostatic pressure in nephrons following IRI-AKI. TEM revealed shortened proximal tubule microvilli in IRI kidneys with diminished lamina propia. TEM showed dramatic loss of mitochondria in distal tubule epithelia of IRI kidneys and emergence of multivesicular bodies of endosomes indicating ongoing cellular death. Collectively, the data define ultrastructural changes to nephrons and altered kidney metabolism associated with IRI-AKI.
