摘要


It has been recently shown that in ischemic rat kidneys activin A is induced in tubular cells and inhibits their regeneration. The present study was conducted to further investigate the action of activin A in tubular cells during regeneration. Among genes thought to be critical for kidney development, Pax-2 was upregulated in tubular cells during regeneration after renal ischemia. Pax-2 protein was localized in nuclei of tubular and interstitial cells, some of which co-expressed a mesenchymal cell marker, vimentin, suggesting that a population of Pax-2-positive cells have properties of immature progenitor-like tubular cells. The Pax-2-expressing cells co-expressed a cell proliferation marker, BrdU, activin A, and the type II activin receptor. Activin A modulated growth of BrdU/Pax-2 double-positive cells since an administration of follistatin increased; conversely, exogenous activin A decreased the number of BrdU/Pax-2 double-positive cells after renal ischemia. Activin A also reduced the expression of Pax-2 in cultured metanephroi. A proximal tubular cell line, LLC-PK(1) cells, was used to further study the mode of action of activin A. The expression of Pax-2 was not detected in quiescent LLC-PK(1) cells, but it was markedly increased when growth was stimulated. Under this condition, activin A significantly inhibited DNA synthesis and reduced the expression of Pax-2 in LLC-PK(1) cells. In contrast, blockade of the activin signaling by overexpressing dominantly negative mutant receptor enhanced the expression level of Pax-2 in LLC-PK(1) cells and induced an immature phenotype. These results suggest that activin A regulates tubular cell growth and differentiation by modulating the expression of Pax-2 during regeneration.
