BACKGROUND/AIMS: For unknown reasons, caspase-1 -/- mice, protected against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure (ARF), are deficient in interleukin (IL)-1α. We thus asked whether IL-1α deficiency underlies the mechanism of protection against cisplatin-induced ARF in these mice.
Cisplatin (30 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into wild-type C57BL/6 mice to produce a cisplatin-induced model of ARF. IL-1α was measured in control vehicle- and cisplatin-treated wild-type animals. We also examined whether IL-1α -/- mice were similarly protected against cisplatin-induced ARF. Additionally, infiltration of CD11b- and CD49b-positive cells, as markers of macrophages, natural killer, and natural killer T cells (pan-NK cells), was investigated in wild-type and IL-1α -/- mice.
Compared with vehicle-treated mice, renal IL-1α increased in cisplatin-treated wild-type mice beginning on day 1. IL-1α -/- mice were shown to be protected against cisplatin-induced ARF. No significant difference in the infiltration of neutrophils or CD11b- and CD49b-positive cells were observed between wild-type and IL-1α -/- mice.
Mice deficient in IL-1α are protected against cisplatin-induced ARF. The lack of IL-1α may explain, at least in part, the protection against cisplatin-induced ARF observed in caspase-1 -/- mice. Investigation of the protective mechanism (s) in IL-1α -/- mice in cisplatin-induced ARF merits further study.
背景/目的:由于未知原因, caspase-1 -/- 小鼠对顺铂诱导的急性肾衰竭(ARF)有保护作用,其白细胞介素(IL)-1α 缺乏。因此,我们想知道 IL-1α 缺乏是否是这些小鼠对顺铂诱导的 ARF 保护作用的机制。
将顺铂(30mg/kg)腹膜内注射到野生型 C57BL/6 小鼠中,以产生顺铂诱导的 ARF 模型。在对照载体和顺铂处理的野生型动物中测量 IL-1α。我们还检查了 IL-1α -/- 小鼠是否对顺铂诱导的 ARF 具有相似的保护作用。此外,还研究了 CD11b 和 CD49b 阳性细胞(作为巨噬细胞、自然杀伤细胞和自然杀伤 T 细胞(pan-NK 细胞)的标志物)在野生型和 IL-1α -/- 小鼠中的浸润情况。
与载体处理的小鼠相比,顺铂处理的野生型小鼠的肾脏 IL-1α 从第 1 天开始增加。IL-1α -/- 小鼠对顺铂诱导的 ARF 有保护作用。在野生型和 IL-1α -/- 小鼠之间,中性粒细胞或 CD11b 和 CD49b 阳性细胞的浸润没有明显差异。
IL-1α 缺乏的小鼠对顺铂诱导的 ARF 有保护作用。缺乏 IL-1α 至少可以部分解释 caspase-1 -/- 小鼠中观察到的对顺铂诱导的 ARF 的保护作用。进一步研究 IL-1α -/- 小鼠在顺铂诱导的 ARF 中的保护机制(s)是值得的。
