Ribonuclease Protection

A gyermekkori nephrosis 90%-a idiopathiás nephrosis szindróma. Az idetartozó három kórkép, a minimal change betegség, a mesangialis proliferatio és a focalis sclerosis hasonló klinikai képpel jelentkező, eltérő prognózisú és terápiás válaszú betegség. Dolgozatunk célja az idiopathiás nephrosis szindrómába tartozó kórképek kialakulásával, progressziójával összefüggő genetikai ismeretek, génexpressziós változások áttekintése és funkcionális csoportosítása. A génexpressziós változások meghatározásának eszközeként, dolgozatunk röviden összefoglalja a northern blot, a ribonuclease protection assay, az in situ RNS-hibridizáció, a kvantitatív RT-PCR és a microarray módszerek lényegét. Az eddig elvégzett vizsgálatok a DNS-szintézis és repair gének, növekedési faktorok, extracelluláris mátrix, extracelluláris ligandreceptorok, extracelluláris jelátvitel zavarai mellett kiemelik a metabolikus és transzporter gének, illetve az immunszabályozó gének molekuláris eltéréseit, amelyek összefüggésben vannak az idiopathiás nephrosis szindróma eddig megismert molekuláris hátterével. A chiptechnológia fejlődésével és elterjedésével ezek a markerek és a hagyományos vizsgálati módszerek párhuzamos alkalmazása rutindiagnosztikai szempontból is fontossá válhat.

Ribonuclease Protection

Ribonuclease protection assays have been used to quantitatively assess changes in steady-state levels of specific mRNAs during oogenesis and early embryogenesis in mice. The mRNAs encode ZP3 (a glycoprotein that serves as a sperm receptor), LDH-B (heart-type lactate dehydrogenase), and MOM-1 (a protein of unknown function). MOM-1 and LDH-B are expressed in a variety of adult mouse tissues and midgestation embryos, whereas ZP3 expression is restricted completely to oocytes. All three mRNAs are expressed by growing mouse oocytes and accumulate to unusually high levels in fully grown oocytes as compared to somatic cells; 240,000, 200,000 and 74,000 copies mRNA per fully grown oocyte for ZP3, LDH-B and MOM-1, respectively. Steady-state levels of LDH-B and MOM-1 mRNA undergo a modest decline (approximately 20–40%) during ovulation when fully grown oocytes become unfertilized eggs and, in general, mirror the reported change in poly(A)+RNA levels during this period of development. On the other hand, the level of ZP3 mRNA declines dramatically (approximately 98%) during ovulation, from approximately 240,000 copies per oocyte to approximately 5000 copies per unfertilized egg, and ZP3 mRNA is undetectable in fertilized eggs (less than 1000 copies per fertilized egg). MOM-1 mRNA is expressed at relatively low levels in morulae (approximately 2000 copies per embryo) and blastocysts (approximately 5000 copies per embryo), whereas ZP3 mRNA remains undetectable (less than 1000 copies per embryo) at these stages of preimplantation development. These findings are discussed in the context of overall gene expression during oocyte growth, meiotic maturation and early embryogenesis in mice.

Renal Expression

Three classes of high-affinity Na+-Picotransporters are expressed in mammalian kidney. These include Npt1 (type I), Npt2 (type II), and the cellular receptors for gibbon ape leukemia virus (Glvr-1) and amphotropic murine retrovirus (Ram-1) (type III). We defined the tissue distribution as well as the relative renal abundance of Npt1, Npt2, Glvr-1, and Ram-1 mRNAs and examined the effects of low-Pi diet, the Hyp mutation, and growth hormone (GH) on their renal expression by ribonuclease protection assay. In normal mouse kidney, Npt1, Npt2, Glvr-1, and Ram-1 accounted for 15 ± 1.0, 84 ± 1.0, 0.5 ± 0.2, and 0.5 ± 0.3% of total Na+-Picotransporter mRNAs, respectively. Evidence was obtained for low-abundance Npt1 mRNA expression in liver and Npt2 mRNA expression in intestine, whereas Glvr-1 and Ram-1 mRNAs were also detected in bone, intestine, heart, and liver. Npt2 mRNA was localized to proximal tubules in the renal outer cortex, whereas Glvr-1 transcripts were detected throughout the kidney by in situ hybridization. The Hyp mutation elicited a significant reduction in renal Npt1 and Npt2 mRNAs (78 ± 8 and 57 ± 3% of normal, respectively), whereas neither low-Pi diet nor GH influenced the renal abundance of Npt1 and Npt2 transcripts. Renal Glvr-1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in Hyp mice and GH-treated mice (145 ± 6 and 165 ± 5% of control, respectively), whereas the renal abundance of Ram-1 transcript was unaffected by either the Hyp mutation, low-Pi diet, or GH treatment. In summary, we demonstrate that Npt2 is the predominant Na+-Picotransporter in mouse kidney, that Npt2 and Glvr-1 have distinct patterns of renal expression, and that the Hyp mutation modulates the renal expression of Npt1, Npt2, and Glvr-1 mRNAs. Our results suggest that increased renal Glvr-1 mRNA may contribute to GH stimulation of renal Na+-Picotransport.
