LYSOSOMAL IRON ACCUMULATION AND TUBULAR DAMAGE IN RAT PUROMYCIN NEPHROSIS AND AGEING

1. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry was used to examine the relationship between proteinuria and increased urinary iron excretion, and structural and functional damage in puromycin nephrosis. 2. After 11–12 days rats treated with puromycin (10 mg/100g, i.v.i.) had greater proteinuria (211.6 ± 35.7 mg/day, mean ± s.e.m.) and urinary iron excretion (15.4 ± 2.2 μg/day) than salinetreated controls (14.5 ± 1.4 mg/day and 1.1 ± 0.2 μg/day, respectively, both P<0.001). 3. On day 13, mean lysosomal iron concentration of proximal tubular cells (306.6 ± 64.5 vs 11.9 ± 8.6 mg%, P<0.001), and proximal tubular cell damage assessed semi-quantitively (1.17 ± 0.10 vs 0.62 ± 0.10, P<0.001) were higher and creatinine clearance (0.15 ± 0.01 vs 0.29 ± 0.02 mL/min perg kidney weight, P<0.001) lower than in control rats. 4. At days 35, 60 and 360 there were no differences in any of the measured parameters between rats treated with puromycin or saline, and in both groups proteinuria, tissue damage and lysosomal iron concentration increased with time. 5. Lysosomal iron accumulation was the only independent predictor of both functional and structural damage. 6. In conclusion, the apparent association between proteinuria and tubulo-interstitial damage in puromycin nephrosis, and with ageing, is best explained by factors associated with accumulation of iron within lysosomes of proximal tubule cells.

外伤后癫痫大鼠模型脑内铁蛋白与转铁蛋白含量的动态变化研究

目的:从脑内铁代谢的角度研究铁在外伤后癫(PTE)发病机制中的可能作用。方法:用ELISA方法检测PTE大鼠模型脑组织内铁蛋白(Ft)和转铁蛋白(Tf)的动态含量。结果:早期Ft在整个脑组织内呈现为即刻反应性升高,15d后其含量在实验对侧脑组织内恢复至正常范围,而在实验侧脑组织内呈现继续升高的趋势;Tf含量只在实验侧脑组织内升高,且呈现随时间继续升高趋势。结论:PTE大鼠模型中的铁代谢过程十分复杂,相关蛋白尤其是Tf含量的增加提示铁可能是外伤后癫灶形成机制的一部分。

Assessment of erythropoiesis following renal transplantation

Abstract: Ten patients, who received cadaveric kidneys, were followed for 24 wk with serial measurements of serum erythropoietin (S-Epo), transferrin receptor (S-TfR) and iron variables. The mean pretransplant creatinine clearance was 8.2 (range 0–22) ml/min and the mean haemoglobin (Hb) level was 99±18.6 (range 66–124) g/l. Nine patients demonstrated a gradual increase in S-Epo levels, which reached a peak, and was accompanied by a parallel increase in S-TfR levels with a median lag period of 3 wk between both peaks. Hb correction followed the S-TfR peak after a second lag period (median 7 wk). Elevated S-Epo and S-TfR did not result in correction of anaemia in 1 patient due to impaired graft function. Within 4 months, S-Epo levels reached the normal range while TfR levels were higher than normal. Follow-up of iron status demonstrated the development of iron deficiency in 5 patients, which was corrected spontaneously. Improvement in erythropoiesis after renal transplantation seems to occur by means of expansion of the erythroid marrow, as detected by increasing S-TfR levels, subsequent to a S-Epo peak. This expansion precedes Hb normalization. A nonuraemic environment is probably a prerequisite for the correction of anaemia but not for the increase in S-Epo or S-TfR levels. Iron deficiency may occur after transplantation due to an increase in iron utilization.     

镉对大鼠肠粘膜中三价运铁蛋白形成的影响

通过经口投给100ppm氯化镉与不投给镉的两组Wistar雄性大鼠研究镉对大鼠肠粘膜中三价运铁蛋白形成的影响。结果表明,镉可降低脏器中贮藏铁的含量,可阻止铁进入肠全粘膜中,镉引起动物铁不足与其枯膜中铁蛋白及其它未知蛋白结合的关系应给以重新评价,而在体外试验中,即使给于高浓度氯化镉,对前运铁蛋白转为运铁蛋白也仅仅表现轻微的抑制作用。     

Correlation between soluble transferrin receptor and serum ferritin levels following bone marrow transplantation for thalassemia

Abstract: This study analyzes the serum transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels in a series of 230 ex-thalassemics with a follow-up of 1 to 9 years after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for homozygous β thalassemia. Ex-thalassemics are individuals, cured of homozygous β thalassemia by BMT, who maintain different degrees of iron overload acquired during the pretransplant period. Both in experimental and clinical conditions, sTfR concentrations have been shown to be a quantitative measure of body iron status. This study was carried out to assess whether the level of sTfR may be of help in determining the extent of iron overload in ex-thalassemics. Patients who received the marrow from their HLA-identical sibling donor heterozygous for β thalassemia, namely heterozygous ex-thalassemics, displayed significantly higher levels of sTfR than patients transplanted from their normal sibling donors (normal ex-thalassemics). This finding suggests that increased erythropoiesis, albeit in part ineffective in heterozygous ex-thalassemics, is responsible for the sTfR increment. Both heterozygous and normal ex-thalassemics had significant lower sTfR levels than their heterozygous (p < 0.003) or normal (p < 0.0001) donors, respectively. These differences may be ascribed to the presence of iron overload in ex-thalassemics in comparison to their normal or heterozygous donors who did not present excess of iron in the body. A significant inverse correlation between sTfR and serum ferritin levels (r = –0.54, p < 0.0001) was found when normal ex-thalassemics were considered. In heterozygous ex-thalassemics, the lack of correlation between these two parameters may be explained by the enhanced erythropoietic activity of individuals with thalassemic trait. These results suggest that the level of sTfR may be a useful indicator of iron overload in normal ex-thalassemics.
