Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of chemokine CXC-ligand 16 (CXCL16) in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the mice.Methods Twelve healthy male C57BL/6 mice and 12 CXCL16-knockout (CXCL16-KO) mice,aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 20-30 g,were studied.The 12 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:C57BL/6 sham operation group (group C-S) and C57BL/6 I/R group (group C-I/R).The 12 CXCL16-KO mice were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:CXCL16-KO sham operation group (group KO-S) and CXCL16-KO I/R group (group KO-I/R).The right kidney was removed,and the left kidney was exposed,and the renal artery was then clamped for 45 min with atraumatic microclips followed by 24 h reperfusion to establish the model of renal I/R in anesthetized mice.Venous blood samples were taken at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of the serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations.The renal specimens were obtained at 24 h of reperfusion for microscopic examination of the pathological changes,and the damage to the renal tubules was scored.The number of myeloperoxidase (MPO) positive cells (MPO+ cells),F4/80+ cells and CD3+ cells in renal tissues was counted by immunohistochemistry.The expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1beta (IL-1β),IL-6,and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) mRNA in renal tissues was determined by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with group C-S,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations,renal tubular damage score,and the number of MPO+,F4/80+,and CD3+ cells were significantly increased,and the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and MIP-2 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in group C-I/R (P＜0.05).Compared with group KO-S,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations,renal tubular damage score,and the number of MPO+,F4/80+,and CD3+ cells were significantly increased,and the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and MIP-2 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in group KO-I/R (P＜0.05).Compared with group C-I/R,the serum BUN and Cr concentrations,renal tubular damage score,and the number of MPO+,F4/80+,and CD3+ cells were significantly decreased,and the expression of TNF-c,IL-1β,IL-6 and MIP-2 mRNA was significantly down-regulated in group KO-I/R (P＜0.05).Conclusion CXCL16 is involved in the pathophysiological process of renal I/R injury in the mice.
