Renal expression and urinary excretion of aquaporin-2 in postobstructive uropathy in rats.

This work assessed the time course of water renal management together with aquaporin-2 (AQP2) kidney expression and urinary AQP2 levels (AQP2u) in obstructive nephropathy. Adult male Wistar rats were monitored after 1, 2, and 7 days of bilateral ureteral release (bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO); BUO-1, BUO-2 and BUO-7). Renal water handling was evaluated using conventional clearance techniques.

Hepatic and renal expression of Oatp1 in obstructive uropathy. First detection of Oatp1 in urine, a potential biomarker.

Obstructive renal diseases affect renal function and kidney integrity. Nevertheless, little is known about its systemic or extra-renal effects. The organic anion transporting polypeptide 1 (Oatp1) is a carrier expressed in liver and kidneys.

Erythropoietin alters the pharmacokinetics of organic anions mainly eliminated by the kidney in rats.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a cytokine originally used for its effects on the hematopoietic system, and is widely prescribed around the world. In the present study, the effects of EPO administration on -aminohippurate (PAH, a prototype organic anion) pharmacokinetics and on the renal expression of PAH transporters were evaluated. Male Wistar rats were treated with EPO or saline (control group).

Utility of urinary organic anion transporter 5 as an early biomarker of obstructive nephropathy.

Ureteral obstruction is a relevant cause of kidney damage. The traditional parameters used in clinical practice for the detection of renal injury are insensitive and non-specific for the diagnosis of obstructive renal disease. The organic anion transporter 5 (Oat5) is a carrier expressed exclusively in the kidney.

Distribution of the organic anion transporters Oat1 and Oat3 between renal membrane microdomains in obstructive jaundice.

Relation between the renal function and the membrane environment where the organic anion transporters Oat1 and Oat3 are localized is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the Oat1 and Oat3 distribution in different cellular fractions under physiological conditions as well as the effects of extrahepatic cholestasis on membrane distribution of both proteins. Besides, the potential role of jaundice serum on the Oat1 and Oat3 expression in suspensions of renal tubular cells was evaluated.

Time evolution of methotrexate-induced kidney injury: A comparative study between different biomarkers of renal damage in rats.

Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used in the treatment of malignant diseases and autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. Along with its effective therapeutic power, MTX has adverse effects on the kidneys. Discovery of new biomarkers is required to improve the early detection of renal damage and optimize the effectiveness of treatments.

Novel finding of caveolin-2 in apical membranes of proximal tubule and first detection of caveolin-2 in urine: A promising biomarker of renal disease.

Caveolin-2 (Cav-2) is expressed in a variety of cell tissue, and it has also been found in renal tissue. The expression of Cav-2 in proximal tubules is still unclear. The aim of this study was to carry out a complete evaluation of the expression pattern of Cav-2 in rat renal cortex to clarify and deepen the knowledge about the localization of Cav-2 in the proximal tubules and also to evaluate its presence in urine.

Renal expression and urinary excretion of Na/dicarboxylate cotransporter 1 (NaDC1) in obstructive nephropathy: a candidate biomarker for this pathology.

Obstructive nephropathy is characterized by alterations in renal function that depends on the degree and type of obstruction. To increase the knowledge about the physiopathological mechanisms involved in the renal damage associated with bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO), we studied the renal expression and function (as urinary citrate excretion) of sodium-dependent dicarboxylate cotransporter (NaDC1) in rats. In addition, we evaluated the urinary excretion of NaDC1 as a candidate biomarker for this pathology.

Renal Expression and Urinary Excretion of Na-K-2Cl Cotransporter in Obstructive Nephropathy.

Renal damage due to urinary tract obstruction accounts for up to 30% of acute kidney injury in paediatrics and adults. Bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) is associated with polyuria and reduced urinary concentrating capacity. We investigated the renal handling of water and electrolytes together with the renal expression and the urinary excretion of the Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) after 1 (BUO-1), 2 (BUO-2), and 7 (BUO-7) days of release of BUO.

Pharmacokinetics of the antimicrobial drug Sulfanilamide is altered in a preclinical model of vascular calcification.

In vascular smooth muscle, calcium overload is linked to advancing age. The pharmacokinetics of Sulfanilamide (SA), a compound with antibacterial properties, was evaluated in a preclinical model of vascular calcification. SA was used since it is useful to study possible modifications in the renal and hepatic management of drugs.

Impact of the induced organic anion transporter 1 (Oat1) renal expression by furosemide on the pharmacokinetics of organic anions.

Aim: Furosemide is a loop diuretic. Different authors demonstrated that continuous administration of furosemide modulates the expression of organic anion transporters. This study was undertaken to simultaneously evaluate the effects of furosemide pretreatment on organic anion transporter 1 (Oat1) and multidrug resistance protein 2 (Mrp2) renal expressions, on p-aminohippurate (PAH) pharmacokinetics and on renal and urinary PAH levels in rats.

The urinary excretion of an organic anion transporter as an early biomarker of methotrexate-induced kidney injury.

Methotrexate (MTX) belongs to a group of medicines known as antimetabolites. It is commonly used in the treatment of malignant diseases and is prescribed in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. Along with its effective therapeutic power, MTX has adverse effects on several organs, including the kidney.

Expression of renal Oat5 and NaDC1 transporters in rats with acute biliary obstruction.

Aim: To examine renal expression of organic anion transporter 5 (Oat5) and sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter 1 (NaDC1), and excretion of citrate in rats with acute extrahepatic cholestasis.

Methods: Obstructive jaundice was induced in rats by double ligation and division of the common bile duct (BDL group). Controls underwent sham operation that consisted of exposure, but not ligation, of the common bile duct (Sham group).

Altered Renal Expression of Relevant Clinical Drug Transporters in Different Models of Acute Uremia in Rats. Role of Urea Levels.

Background/aims: Organic anion transporter 1 (Oat1) and 3 (Oat3) are organic anion transporters that play critical roles in the body disposition of numerous clinically important drugs. We investigated the effects of acute uremia on the renal expression of Oat1 and Oat3 in three in vivo experimental models of acute kidney injury (AKI): induced by ischemia, by ureteral obstruction and by the administration of HgCl2. We also evaluated the influence of urea in the expression of these transporters in proximal tubular cells suspensions.

Protein expression of kidney and liver bilitranslocase in rats exposed to mercuric chloride--a potential tissular biomarker of toxicity.

Bilitranslocase (BTL) is a plasma membrane carrier that transports organic anions of physiological and pharmacological interest. It is expressed in basolateral plasma membrane of kidney and liver. BTL has been recently described as a marker of transition from normal tissue to its neoplastic transformation in human kidney.

Expression and function of renal and hepatic organic anion transporters in extrahepatic cholestasis.

Obstructive jaundice occurs in patients suffering from cholelithiasis and from neoplasms affecting the pancreas and the common bile duct. The absorption, distribution and elimination of drugs are impaired during this pathology. Prolonged cholestasis may alter both liver and kidney function.

Expression of kidney and liver bilitranslocase in response to acute biliary obstruction.

Background/aim: It has been recently demonstrated that acute obstructive jaundice is associated with modifications in the renal expression and function of organic anion transporters such as Oat1, Oat3, Oatp1 and Mrp2. This study examined the expression and function of bilitranslocase in liver and kidney from rats with bile duct ligation (BDL).

Methods: Bilitranslocase expression was evaluated in renal homogenates (H), renal basolateral plasma membranes (KBLM) and liver plasma membranes (LPM) by immunoblotting.

Characterization of the mechanisms involved in the increased renal elimination of bromosulfophthalein during cholestasis: involvement of Oatp1.

The kidneys and liver are the major routes for organic anion elimination. We have recently shown that acute obstructive jaundice is associated with increased systemic and renal elimination of two organic anions, p-aminohippurate and furosemide, principally excreted through urine. This study examined probable adaptive mechanisms involved in renal elimination of bromosulfophthalein (BSP), a prototypical organic anion principally excreted in bile, in rats with acute obstructive jaundice.

Time course of organic anion excretion in rats with bilateral ureteral obstruction: role of organic anion transporters (Oat1 and Oat3).

Background: Urinary tract obstruction is a common cause of renal failure. In this study, we evaluated the time course of P-aminohippurate (PAH) renal excretion and the cortical expression of organic anion transporters (Oat1 and Oat3) at 1 (BUO-1), 2 (BUO-2) and 7 (BUO-7) days after release of 24-hour bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) in the rat.

Methods: Conventional clearance technique, differential centrifugation, semiquantitative immunoblotting and immunohistochemical techniques have been employed.

Uptake of grape anthocyanins into the rat kidney and the involvement of bilitranslocase.

Anthocyanins are among the most common flavonoids in the human diet. In spite of their very low bioavailability, anthocyanins are indicated as active in preventing the progress of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, inflammation, and cancer. Any piece of knowledge concerning absorption, tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of dietary anthocyanins is expected to help understanding the apparent paradox between their low concentrations in cells and their bioactivity.

Renal elimination of p-aminohippurate (PAH) in response to three days of biliary obstruction in the rat. The role of OAT1 and OAT3.

Pharmacokinetic studies of the drugs administered to subjects with mechanical cholestasis are scarce. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of bile duct ligation of 3 days (peak of elevation of serum bile acids and bilirubin) on the systemic and renal PAH clearance and on the expression of cortical renal OAT1 and OAT3 in a rat model. PAH is the prototypical substrate of the renal organic anion transport system.

Expression of rat renal cortical OAT1 and OAT3 in response to acute biliary obstruction.

Renal function in the course of obstructive jaundice has been the subject of great interest; however, little is known about the expression of renal organic anion transporters. The objective of this work was to study, in rats with acute extrahepatic cholestasis, the cortical renal expression of the organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and the organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), in association with the pharmacokinetics and renal excretion of furosemide (FS). Male Wistar rats underwent bile duct ligation (BDL rats).

Altered expression of rat renal cortical OAT1 and OAT3 in response to bilateral ureteral obstruction.

Background: Bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO) is characterized by the development of hemodynamic and tubular lesions. However, little is known about the expression of organic anion renal transporters. The objective of this work was to study the renal excretion of p-aminohippurate (PAH) and the cortical renal expression of the organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) in BUO rats.

Altered renal elimination of organic anions in rats with chronic renal failure.

The progress of chronic renal failure (CRF) is characterized by the development of glomerular and tubular lesions. However, little is known about the expression of organic anions renal transporters. The objective of this work was to study, in rats with experimental CRF (5/6 nephrectomy), the expression of the organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) and their contribution to the pharmacokinetics and renal excretion of p-aminohippurate (PAH).
