No aggravation of renal injury in apolipoprotein E knockout mice (ApoE-/-) after subtotal nephrectomy

Abstract: Despite some glomerulosclerosis and elevated mean arterial blood pressure at baseline, no acceleration of progression of renal disease was found in this genetic model of hyperlipoproteinaemia. This observation suggests that despite the known spontaneous histological changes in untouched kidneys, however, the presence of hyperlipidaemia in the ApoE(-/-) mouse does not cause more severe progression in the present models of moderate renal disease.

“…In agreement with previous studies on ApoE À/À mice, blood pressure did not increase after UNX [20,21] and the absence of left ventricular hypertrophy in the present study is also consistent with absence of hypertension. Of note, the SBP, heart weight, and the heart/body weight ratio were not altered by any treatment.…”

“…In the study by Wen et al (2002), Apoe À/À mice developed spontaneous glomerular lesions with macrophage accumulation, commonly with foam cell appearance, deposition of extracellular matrix, glomerular hyperplasia, and foci of mesangiolysis associated with capillary microaneurysms. On the other hand, in studies using uninephrectomy (UNX) and subtotal nephrectomy (SNX) on wild-type and Apoe À/À mice, Buzello et al (2004) did not observe a difference in renal or glomerular injury after reduction of renal mass.…”

“…Unilateral nephrectomy significantly increased atherosclerotic lesion size in Apolipoprotein E ( Apoe −/− ) mice, 8-11 where, different from wild-type (wt) mice, serum creatinine was significantly elevated after unilateral nephrectomy. 9, 11 Renal glomerular number was decreased in Apoe −/− compared to wt mice, but there was no evidence for accelerated progression of kidney disease.…”
