Background/Aims: Individuals possessing a single kidney are at greater risk of renal injury upon exposure to harmful stimuli. This study aimed to explore the pathogenesis of renal injury in glomerulonephritis with versus without unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). Methods: Histological analysis and label-free quantitative proteomics were performed on two models—the Habu snake venom-induced glomerulonephritis model with versus without UNX (HabuU and Habu models, respectively). The role of villin 1, a differentially expressed protein (DEP) in mouse mesangial cells, was investigated. Results: Persistent mesangiolysis and focal hypercellularity together with reduced activation of cell proliferation in the HabuU model induced more serious renal injury compared with that in the Habu model. The DEPs between the two models were identified by label-free liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The KEGG pathway results indicated that regulation of actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesion were specifically enriched in the HabuU model. The cytoskeleton regulation protein villin 1 was downregulated in the HabuU model, but unchanged in the Habu model. Knockdown of villin 1 promoted apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation of mouse mesangial cells, suggesting villin 1 to be involved in qlomerular lesion self-repair insufficiency. Conclusion: By assessing the proteomic profiles of the two models, this study identified several important differences, particularly villin 1 expression, in regulatory mechanisms between the two models. Our findings provide novel insight into the mechanism of serious renal injury in glomerulonephritis with UNX.

Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that lipocalin-2 (LCN2) has multiple functions involved in various biological and pathological processes including energy homeostasis, cancer, inflammation, and apoptosis. We aimed to investigate the effect of LCN2 on apoptosis that influences the pathogenetic process of metabolic diseases and cancer. Methods We performed a proteomics analysis of livers taken from LCN2-knockout mice and wild type mice by using label-free LC-MS/MS quantitative proteomics. Results Proteomic analysis revealed that there were 132 significantly differentially expressed proteins (49 upregulated and 83 downregulated) among 2140 proteins in the liver of LCN2-knockout mice compared with wild type mice. Of these, seven apoptosis-associated proteins were significantly upregulated and seven apoptosis-associated proteins downregulated. Conclusion Proteomics demonstrated that there were seven upregulated and seven downregulated apoptosis-associated proteins in liver of LCN2-knockout mice. It is important to clarify the effect of LCN2 on apoptosis that might contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, cancer, and various nervous system diseases.
