Kidney ischemia-reperfusion (IR) via laparotomy is a conventional method for kidney surgery in a mouse model. However, IR, an invasive procedure, can cause serious acute and chronic complications through apoptotic and inflammatory pathways. To avoid these adverse responses, a Non-IR and dorsal slit approach was designed for kidney surgery.
Animals were divided into three groups, 1) sham-operated control; 2) IR, Kidney IR via laparotomy; and 3) Non-IR, Non-IR and dorsal slit. The effects of Non-IR method on renal surgery outcomes were verified with respect to animal viability, renal function, apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis, renal regeneration, and systemic response using histology, immunohistochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction, serum chemistry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and Masson's trichrome staining.
The Non-IR group showed 100% viability with mild elevation of serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values at day 1 after surgery, whereas the IR group showed 20% viability and lethal functional abnormality. Histologically, renal tubule epithelial cell injury was evident on day 1 in the IR group, and cellular apoptosis enhanced TUNEL-positive cell number and Fas/caspase-3 and KIM-1/NGAL expression. Inflammation and fibrosis were high in the IR group, with enhanced CD4/CD8-positive T cell infiltration, inflammatory cytokine secretion, and Masson's trichrome stain-positive cell numbers. The Non-IR group showed a suitable microenvironment for renal regeneration with enhanced host cell migration, reduced immune cell influx, and increased expression of renal differentiation-related genes and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The local renal IR influenced distal organ apoptosis and inflammation by releasing circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines.
The Non-IR and dorsal slit method for kidney surgery in a mouse model can be an alternative surgical approach for researchers without adverse reactions such as apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis, functional impairment, and systemic reactions.
通过剖腹术进行肾脏缺血再灌注(IR)是小鼠模型肾脏手术的传统方法。然而,IR作为一种侵入性操作,可通过凋亡和炎症途径导致严重的急性和慢性并发症。为避免这些不良反应,设计了一种非IR和背侧切开法用于肾脏手术。
将动物分为三组,1)假手术对照组;2)IR组,通过剖腹术进行肾脏IR;3)非IR组,非IR和背侧切开法。使用组织学、免疫组织化学、实时聚合酶链反应、血清化学、末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶dUTP缺口末端标记(TUNEL)染色和Masson三色染色,从动物存活率、肾功能、凋亡、炎症、纤维化、肾脏再生和全身反应方面验证非IR方法对肾脏手术结果的影响。
非IR组术后第1天存活率为100%,血清尿素氮和肌酐值轻度升高,而IR组存活率为20%,且出现致命的功能异常。组织学上,IR组术后第1天肾小管上皮细胞损伤明显,细胞凋亡增加了TUNEL阳性细胞数量以及Fas/caspase-3和KIM-1/NGAL表达。IR组炎症和纤维化程度较高,CD4/CD8阳性T细胞浸润、炎性细胞因子分泌增加,Masson三色染色阳性细胞数量增多。非IR组显示出适合肾脏再生的微环境,宿主细胞迁移增强,免疫细胞流入减少,肾脏分化相关基因和抗炎细胞因子表达增加。局部肾脏IR通过释放循环促炎细胞因子影响远端器官的凋亡和炎症。
小鼠模型肾脏手术的非IR和背侧切开法可为研究人员提供一种替代手术方法,且无凋亡、炎症、纤维化、功能损害和全身反应等不良反应。
