Megalin deficiency offers protection from renal aminoglycoside accumulation.
Aminoglycosides are antibiotics commonly used to treat life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, their use is hampered by their severe nephrotoxicity due to accumulation in renal proximal tubules. Several pathways have been implicated in the renal uptake of aminoglycosides including megalin, an endocytic receptor in proximal tubular cells. Here, we have used mouse models wit...
متن کاملMegalin is essential for renal proximal tubule reabsorption and accumulation of transcobalamin-B(12).
Megalin has previously been shown to bind and mediate endocytosis of transcobalamin (TC)-B(12). However, the physiological significance of this has not been established, and other TC-B(12) binding proteins have been suggested to mediate renal uptake of this vitamin complex. The present study demonstrates by the use of megalin-deficient mice that megalin is, in fact, essential for the normal ren...
متن کاملMegalin contributes to kidney accumulation and nephrotoxicity of colistin.
Interest has recently been shown again in colistin because of the increased prevalence of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Although the potential for nephrotoxicity is a major dose-limiting factor in colistin use, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie colistin-induced nephrotoxicity. In this study, we focused on an endocytosis receptor, megalin, that...
متن کاملNADPH oxidase-1 deficiency offers little protection in Salmonella typhimurium-induced typhlitis in mice
AIM To test whether Nox1 plays a role in typhlitis induced by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) in a mouse model. METHODS Eight-week-old male wild-type (WT) and Nox1 knockout (KO) C57BL6/J (B6) mice were administered metronidazole water for 4 d to make them susceptible to S. Tm infection by the oral route. The mice were given plain water and administered with 4 different doses o...
متن کاملStatins inhibit aminoglycoside accumulation and cytotoxicity to renal proximal tubule cells.
Nephrotoxicity due to renal proximal tubule accumulation of aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics, such as gentamicin, represents a major clinical problem. Receptor-mediated endocytosis via the multi-ligand receptor megalin is thought to be a key mechanism in the cellular uptake of AGs and nephrotoxicity. This process can be modulated by the intracellular concentration of isoprenoid pyrophosphates de...
