Determination of phospholipidosis potential based on gene expression analysis in HepG2 cells.

Phospholipidosis (PLD) is characterized by an intracellular accumulation of phospholipids in lysosomes and the concurrent development of concentric lamellar bodies. Recently, H. Sawada et al. (2005, Toxicol. Sci. 83, 282-292) identified 17 genes as potential biomarkers of PLD in HepG2 cells. The present study was undertaken to determine if this set of genes measured by quantitative PCR could be validated in the same cell line. The objective was also to investigate the dose-response relationship to further validate the assay and to select the concentrations to use for screening activities. In a first experiment (one concentration tested), out of the 17 genes, the best gene biomarkers of PLD (i.e., 11 genes) were selected for practical screening reasons. Based on these genes, 91.6% (i.e., 11 of 12) of the compounds known to induce PLD were identified as positive and all the negative compounds (i.e., five of five) were also confirmed. When the data obtained in the first experiment were compared to the data by Sawada et al., (2005) the coefficient of correlation calculated was slightly higher than 75%. In the second experiment (26 compounds [all 17 compounds from the first experiment plus 9 other compounds] tested at a minimum of three concentrations), 93.3% (14/15) of the compounds known to induce PLD were identified as such and all the negative controls (six compounds) were also confirmed. Three compounds likely to induce PLD were identified as positive in our assay. Finally, two compounds for which no data are available were also tested. When both experiments 1 and 2 were compared, the coefficient of correlation for 16 compounds tested at the same concentrations reached 87.7%. In conclusion, the present study further confirms the utility of gene expression in HepG2 cells to identify a potential to induce PLD. Finally, based on the data presented, researchers are encouraged to use a range of minimum three concentrations (e.g., 12.5, 25, and 50 microM) to screen for PLD in the human HepG2 cell line.

Up-regulation of urinary UPIII mRNA levels in vesicoureteral reflux patients: Potential application as a screening test for vesicoureteral reflux

OBJECTIVES: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most common congenital urinary tract anomaly. This disease can pose a major threat to the kidneys as twenty percent of patients with endstage renal disease are reported to have VUR. Although genetic studies for uroplakin III (UPIII) have been reported recently, no study has focused on UPIII gene expression in VUR patients. We describe here the up-regulation of UPIII mRNA in exfoliated urinary cells from primary VUR patients. METHODS: A real-time RT-PCR for UPIII mRNA was performed on exfoliated urothelial cells from 18 primary VUR and 38 control samples. UPIII mRNA copies were calculated for each sample. The statistical differences were assessed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Receiver operator characteristic curves were constructed for analysis of the diagnostic values. RESULTS: UPIII mRNA was found to be up-regulated to a greater extent in VUR than in control exfoliated urinary cells (mean +/- SE: 497.0 +/- 178.5 copies vs. 69.0 +/- 10.0 copies, respectively, P < 0.001). In evaluating the measurement of urinary UPIII mRNA as a screening test for VUR, the sensitivity was 77.8% and the specificity was 76.3% by the best diagnostic cutoff point. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report demonstrating up-regulation of UPIII in mRNA levels in VUR patients. We submit that the quantitative measurement of urinary UPIII mRNA has a potential of developing into the first non-invasive screening test for VUR.
