摘要:

目的:探讨肾小管上皮细胞特异性法尼酯X受体(FXR)基因敲除对小鼠肾功能的影响。方法:基于cre-loxp系统构建肾小管上皮细胞特异性FXR基因敲除小鼠。采用qRT-PCR检测肾脏FXR的mRNA水平,Western blot和免疫荧光法检测肾脏FXR的蛋白表达,苏木精-伊红染色、过碘酸雪夫染色观察小鼠肾脏形态,透射电子显微镜观察超微结构下肾小管形态。试剂盒检测血清肌酐(Scr)、尿素氮(BUN)和尿β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶(β-N-acetyl glucosaminidase,NAG)水平评估肾功能。结果:肾小管上皮细胞特异性FXR敲除小鼠肾脏FXR的mRNA水平、蛋白表达水平降低,肾小管可见空泡化,血清中SCr、BUN水平未见明显改变,但尿液中NAG水平显著升高。结论:肾小管上皮细胞特异性FXR基因敲除小鼠模型建立成功,FXR敲除导致肾小管上皮细胞空泡化和肾功能降低。

Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effect of FXR gene knockout on the kidney of mice. METHODS: Renal tubular epithelial cell-specific FXR gene knockout mice were constructed based on the cre-loxp system. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA transcription level of FXR in kidney, western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of FXR protein in kidney, hematoxylin-eosin staining and periodate sherff staining were used to observe the kidney morphology of mice, and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the tubule morphology under ultrastructure. Renal function was assessed by testing Scr, BUN, and urine NAG. RESULTS: The mRNA transcription level and protein expression level of FXR in the renal tubular epithelial cells were decreased after specific knockout of FXR in mice, and there were obvious vacuolization in the renal tubules. The levels of SCr and BUN in the serum were not significantly changed, but the level of NAG in urine was increased. CONCLUSION: The mouse model of FXR gene knockout in renal tubular epithelial cells has been successfully established, and FXR knockout leads to vacuolization of renal tubular epithelial cells and impairment of renal function.
