Hwang GS, Yang JY, Ryu DH, Kwon TH. Metabolic profiling of kidney and urine in rats with lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by H-NMR-based metabonomics. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 298: F461–F470, 2010. First published November 18, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00389.2009.—Lithium (Li) treatment for bipolar affective disorders is associated with a variety of renal side effects. The metabolic response of the kidney to chronic Li treatment has rarely been studied. We applied a novel method of H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabonomics to integrate metabolic profiling and to identify the changes in the levels of metabolites in the kidney and urine from rats with Li-induced NDI. Metabolic profiles of urine and kidney homogenate [3 different zones (cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla) or whole kidney] were investigated using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy coupled with pattern recognition methods. The accurate concentrations of metabolites in kidney homogenates and urine were rapidly measured using the target-profiling procedure, and the difference in the levels of metabolites was compared using multivariate analysis, such as principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis. Major endogenous metabolites for kidney homogenates contained products of glycolysis (glucose, lactate) and amino acids, as well as organic osmolytes (e.g., betaine, myo-inositol, taurine, and glycerophosphocholine). Many metabolites revealed changes in their levels, including decreased levels of organic osmolytes and amino acids in the inner medulla. A number of urinary metabolites were changed in Li-induced NDI, and in particular, elevated urinary levels of acetate, lactate, allantoin, trimethylamine, and creatine could suggest Li-induced renal cell stress or injury. Taken together, metabonomics of kidney tissue and urine based on H-NMR spectroscopy could provide insight into the effects of Li-induced renal effects and cell injury.

متن کاملThe protective effect of curcumin against lithium-induced nephrotoxicity in rats
Lithium is an element which has been used as salts of chloride or carbonate for many years in the treatment of some psychological disorders such as mania, bipolar or schizophrenic diseases. Chronic application of lithium may induce some serious nephropathies such as natriuresis, renal tubular acidosis, tubulointerstitial nephritis progression to progressive chronic kidney disease and hypercalce...
متن کاملChanges in cellular composition of kidney collecting duct cells in rats with lithium-induced NDI.
Lithium treatment for 4 wk caused severe polyuria, dramatic downregulation in aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) expression, and marked decrease in AQP-2 immunoreactivity with the appearance of a large number of cells without AQP-2 labeling in the collecting ducts after lithium treatment. Surprisingly, this was not all due to an increase in AQP-2-negative principal cells, because double immunolabeling reveale...
متن کاملLithium: a versatile tool for understanding renal physiology.
By virtue of its unique interactions with kidney cells, lithium became an important research tool in renal physiology and pathophysiology. Investigators have uncovered the intricate relationships of lithium with the vasopressin and aldosterone systems, and the membrane channels or transporters regulated by them. While doing so, their work has also led to 1) questioning the role of adenylyl cycl...
متن کاملAldosterone increases urine production and decreases apical AQP2 expression in rats with diabetes insipidus.
Vasopressin and aldosterone are essential hormones in the regulation of water and sodium balance. Aldosterone regulates sodium reabsorption, although synergistic effects on collecting duct water permeability have been shown. We investigated the effects of 7-day aldosterone infusion or oral spironolactone treatment on water balance and aquaporin (AQP) 2 expression in rats with 21 days of lithium...
