Relevance of extracellular matrix and its receptors in mammalian nephrogenesis revealed by metanephric organ culture system Wada J; Kanwar YS; Makino HNephrol Dial Transplant 2002[]; 17 Suppl 9 (ä): 75-7Mammalian nephrogenesis is modulated by a number of extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins, integrins and cell adhesion molecules. We demonstrated the existence of integrins alphavbeta1, alphavbeta3, alphavbeta5 and alphavbeta6 in epithelial elements of developing nephrons. Fibrillin-1 is a putative ligand for integrin alphavbeta3, and tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen (TIN-ag) is a ligand for integrins alphavbeta3 and alpha3beta1. Fibrillin-1 and TIN-ag are also differentially expressed in the developing kidney. The inclusion of antisense oligonucleotide in a mouse kidney organ culture system indicated that the alphav-related integrins and their ligands play an important role in mammalian nephrogenesis. Recently identified modulators of cell-matrix interactions, i.e. beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectins (galectins), are involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions by cross-linking glycoconjugates located on the ECM and membrane-bound glycoproteins. We identified and cloned a new member of the galectins from embryonic kidneys, and designated it galectin-9. Since high glucose alters the expression of ECM proteins and integrins, we also investigated the influence of glucose on metanephric development. The presence of 30 mM D-glucose in metanephric organ culture induced dysmorphogenesis of the kidney accompanied by decreased expression of perlecan. Furthermore, we screened the genes differentially expressed under high glucose conditions in streptozotocin-induced newborn mouse kidneys by representational difference analysis of cDNA. We identified translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane (Tim44) and renal-specific oxido-reductase (RSOR). The roles of these molecules in glucose-induced dysmorphogenesis and the relationship with ECM-related molecules need to be addressed.|Animals[MESH]|Embryonic and Fetal Development/physiology[MESH]|Extracellular Matrix/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Integrin beta Chains/*metabolism[MESH]|Kidney/*enzymology[MESH]|Organ Culture Techniques[MESH]|Receptors, Cell Surface/*metabolism[MESH] |
