Contralateral uninephrectomy attenuates unilateral ischemic renal injury functionally and morphologically. In this study we investigated the effects of uninephrectomy on apoptotic renal cell death and tubular regeneration in ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. Unilateral ischemic injury was provoked by a 60-min left renal artery occlusion in right-nephrectomized (Nx) and sham-nephrectomized (sham-Nx) rats. Uninephrectomy attenuated tubular damage 48 h following the renal ischemia Apoptotic cells were found in renal tissue as early as 3 h after reperfusion and increased in number by 12 h. The “ladder” pattern of DNA fragments on agarose gel electrophoresis was also apparent in ischemic kidney. Uninephrectomy reduced apoptotic cells and DNA fragmentation. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) could be seen 24 h after reperfusion and progressively increased thereafter PCNA expression in ischemic kidney was greater in Nx than sham-Nx rats at 24 h after renal reperfusion. These data suggest that uninephrectomy reduces apoptotic cells and DNA fragmentation and enhances PCNA expression. The reduced apoptotic cell death and enhanced cell regeneration may be importantly involved in the uninephrectomy-induced attenuation of ischemic acute renal failure in rats.
