Elimination of severe albuminuria in aging hypertensive rats by exchange of 2 chromosomes in double-consomic rats.

چکیده
The inherited nephron deficit and progressive albuminuria development observed in hypertensive Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rats are influenced by quantitative trait loci on rat chromosome (RNO) 6 and RNO8. Previous studies in young MWF rats suggested that the nephron deficit represents a cause for glomerular hypertrophy preceding onset of albuminuria at 8 weeks and demonstrated a simultaneous induction of the podocyte stress marker desmin and podoplanin loss in podocytes. Here we investigated the separate genetic influence of RNO6 and RNO8 on early glomerular changes and subsequent albuminuria in single-consomic MWF rats in which RNO6 (MWF-6(SHR)) and RNO8 (MWF-8(SHR)) were replaced by the respective spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) chromosome. Furthermore, we tested the role of synergistic effects between both chromosomes in a double-consomic MWF-6(SHR)8(SHR) strain. Increased glomerular, extramesangial desmin expressions at 6 and albuminuria at 8 weeks were significantly reduced in single- and double-consomics (P<0.05 versus MWF, respectively). MWF-6(SHR)8(SHR) rats demonstrated the lowest desmin expression and glomerular volume (P<0.05 versus MWF, MWF-6(SHR), and MWF-8(SHR), respectively), indicating synergistic effects between RNO6 and RNO8. A significant and similar loss of podoplanin was only seen in MWF and MWF-6(SHR) rats but not in MWF-8(SHR) and MWF-6(SHR)8(SHR) rats (P<0.02, respectively); this refutes a mandatory coupling of desmin induction and podoplanin loss in podocytes preceding albuminuria and reveals a genetic link between RNO8 and loss of podoplanin protein. Long-term follow up in MWF-6(SHR)8(SHR) rats demonstrates the relevance of the absence of glomerular changes in young animals, because double-consomics demonstrate a complete suppression of progressive albuminuria and kidney damage compared with MWF rats despite similar blood pressures.

Nephron deficit is not required for progressive proteinuria development in the Munich Wistar Frömter rat.
The Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rat represents a genetic model with an inherited nephron deficit and exhibits mild hypertension and progressive albuminuria, which is more pronounced in males than females. Previously, we demonstrated in a consomic strain that replacement of a quantitative trait locus on chromosome 6 normalized the nephron deficit and suppressed albuminuria development, suggestin...
متن کاملChromosome substitution reveals the genetic basis of Dahl salt-sensitive hypertension and renal disease.
This study examined the genetic basis of hypertension and renal disease in Dahl SS/Mcwi (Dahl Salt-Sensitive) rats using a complete chromosome substitution panel of consomic rats in which each of the 20 autosomes and the X and Y chromosomes were individually transferred from the Brown Norway (BN) rat onto the Dahl SS/Mcwi genetic background. Male and female rats of each of the two parental and ...
متن کاملInduction of albuminuria and kidney damage in SHR by transfer of chromosome 8 from Munich Wistar Frömter rats.
Inbred Munich Wistar Frömter [MWF/FubRkb (RGD:724569), MWF] rats develop progressive albuminuria with age that is under polygenetic influence. We previously identified a major albuminuria quantitative trait locus (QTL) on rat chromosome (RNO)8 in MWF. To test the independent role of QTL(s) for albuminuria development on RNO8, we generated a consomic SHR-Chr 8(MWF)/Rkb (SHR-8(MWF)) strain by tra...
